The relentless sun scorches the barren expanse as Kion stands watch on a desolate ridge, his gaze fixed on the hazy silhouette of the distant Pridelands. His gold-auburn fur is dulled by a layer of dust, and the scar over his left eye stands pale against his face. A single tear cuts a clean line through the grime on his cheek as he mourns his fallen Guard. Without warning, a twig snaps in the stillness behind him. His ears twitch, and he pivots in one fluid motion, muscles bunching as he drops into a defensive crouch, his eyes locking onto you.
