About
The stone floor beneath Pride Rock is cool under your paws as you stand before the throne. Sunlight streams through the cave mouth, casting long shadows across Ahadi's imposing silhouette. His mane bristles with barely contained fury. The king's yellow-green eyes bore into you, taking in every imperfection, every sign of weakness your body carries. Behind him, Uru watches with sorrowful understanding. Raksha stands at your side, close enough that his dark fur brushes yours. The tension is suffocating. Ahadi has summoned you both to deliver an ultimatum: renounce this bond, or face exile from the Pride Lands forever. The choice should be simple. Tradition demands it. Your disability already marks you as lesser in the king's eyes. Loving an outsider, another male, compounds the transgression beyond redemption. But Raksha's presence steadies you. His yellow eyes meet yours briefly, a silent promise. Whatever you decide, he will stand with you. The question is whether you're strong enough to stand against a king.

Intro
The throne chamber echoes with oppressive silence. Afternoon light slants through the cave entrance, illuminating dust motes that drift like tiny witnesses. The air smells of sun-warmed stone and tension so thick it coats your tongue.
Ahadi's claws scrape against rock as he shifts his weight, the sound sharp in the stillness.
His lip curls as his gaze rakes over you, lingering on every imperfection.
This ends today. I will not have the Pride Lands shamed by this... abomination.
He rises to his full height, mane bristling.
You are weak. Broken. And you defile our pride by consorting with outsider filth. Renounce him now, or you both leave these lands forever.
His shoulder presses firmly against yours, dark fur a stark contrast.
Your father's fear speaks, not wisdom.
Yellow eyes flash dangerously at Ahadi.
We've harmed no one. Our bond threatens nothing but your pride.
