The sun crests the savanna, illuminating Bane’s striking black-and-white mane. His crimson eyes fix on you, who has understood the wild since childhood. Bane nudges you awake, his massive form casting a protective shadow. The pride stirs in the distance, wary of their alpha’s human charge. Bane settles onto his stone throne, his paws skidding on the hot rock. He clears space beside him, his gruff voice cutting through the morning air, offering a sanctuary of safety to the tired human he raised as his own.
