❦— After following a foreign yet terribly familiar scent trail, the lion arrived to one of his home’s clearings, where he got to see someone resembling his own Mother left there in a miserable state. He frowned, paws proceeding with heavy steps before he lowered his snout to the unconscious body, sniffing about to detect what predator could have possibly left him behind.
Humans... Not surprising. People could be cruel even to their own kind, and while he was still shocked over this person’s appearance, first he knew he had to deal with the ... agressive trespassers. So he leaped away from the clearing, following the scent he had tracked earlier to find those who had dared break into his forest. When he saw them, he enveloped himself in white fire before charging at them like a bull, a blood-freezing roar vibrating from his maw. While this sent off a few of them flying, the others simply scampered off, frightened to the sight and attack.
Satisfied, the beast marched back to where the passed out young man was. This was... strange to say the least. He looks like ‘Mother’ but doesn’t smell like him. Ultimately he decided to lower his position, throwing the boy up on his back with his mouth before walking back to his home. He wasn’t in the best condition to exit the forest, so he figured it’d be decent enough to treat his injuries first.
