A lion pride if there ever were one... well, sorta. In the group that these three come from, males are allowed to stay with the group and have their own families, so long as they joined with their mate. Roving males are not welcome. Apart from those two stipulations, there isn't much rhyme or reason to the pride, just families of lions coexisting and helping each other out, sort of like a village. And in this rag-tag band are two leaders, each with differing opinions but wise enough to compromise so as to best lead.
The thing is, though, that the older male, Mwenye, is much better at sharing than his younger counterpart, Tichaona. Mwenye led the pride for many seasons before the darker-coated male rose through the ranks to his current position. Mwenye'd never seen Tichona as a threat, and gives him all due respect, but doesn't trust something about the male.
Tichona, on the other hand, just can't wait for Mwenye to die. (Not that he'd ever try to speed up the process...) As the lesser ruler by default of age, he often is the one that gets short-changed when it comes to making decisions. Which pisses him off. But his anger is a cold one, he believes in karmic retribution. What goes around comes around. Payback is a b***h. He's rather selfish and his decisions are mainly fueled by what is best for him individually than the betterment of the pride as a whole. Which is why he usually loses.
When Tichona rose to be the second king, the two act was celebrated like a house warming. All of the families contributed gifts to their leaders. Meats and furs and fancy trinkets. But one family gave something quite different. Quite different indeed! A lioness a little bit younger than Tichona himself was placed at the feet of the two kings. She looked like a frightened little thing, and Mweyne's heart went out to the girl. But for Tichona, something else stirred. (His greed, you perv. >:T)
Mweyne called the girl "Refilwe". "We were given". He considered her quite the nice gift and treated her well. Though he still treated her like property. He would have been happy to have let her live her own life and make her own choices- really not possess her at all- but Tichona's lust for rivalry and to overcome the old king didn't allow for that. Mweyne, never having had cubs before, decided to try with precious Refilwe.
Tichona, all the more selfish of the two calls her "Kefilwe". "I was given". After all, it was when he became king that the donation was made, not to Mweyne's honor. He's not the least bit gentle with the girl and when she's not being made to make an heir for Mweyne, he likes to use her for the same thing. He's rather coarse and cruel to her, but as the king, he gets what he wants.
Then there's poor Refilwe herself. Or Kefilwe. Depends on who you ask. Her real name (according to her) is Nkemdilim. "Let mine be mine". She wishes for freedom more than anything, but knows she will never have it. Her life isn't too bad, considering she belongs to the kings, she eats well and doesn't really have to work, but neither male is much comfort. Mweyne is very much of a father-like figure to her, but in his drive for heirs, she turns away from him. And there's something oddly attractive about that Tichona... Maybe it's his icy blue eyes or the feeling she has that he really deep-down does care about her on a level other than a possession, or maybe it's a classic case of Stockholm syndrome, where she thinks there's something between them that may (or may not) really exist.
Nkemdilim dreams of running away with Tichona and for him to prove his love, but the male would never do that. He has to stick around and wait for Mweyne to die (or help that along...) |
