It was really hard to say who Ilea hated more, Miela's father or Miela herself.
Ela was born from her mother's fling with an outsider. She never knew her father and the angry lioness refused to talk about the male. She was raised with her cousin Glozelle after her aunt, his mother, died giving birth to him. Both cubs knew he was the son of the king, Caspian IX, and that his mother had been turned away when she had tried to tell the king that she carried at least one of his cubs. It was only a lie told by Ela's mad mother, but neither Ela nor Gloz knew this.
Ela and Gloz grew up closer than cousins, more like brother and sister. They protected one another, trained with one another, hunted together. Of the two, Gloz was the more passionate, he let his emotions rule him too often and he was unfortunately gullible enough to let his aunt's poison tongue sway him. When Miraz came to Gloz with silvered words, Ela tried to warn her cousin against it. But he chose to follow the path that had been set before him, and loyal as she was Ela followed. She did not climb high into the ranks of the warriors though she was known more for her tracking, but she remained at Gloz's right paw, his councilor and friend, the only creature in the entire pride he truly trusted.
She was with him when Miraz sent him after Caspian X, Gloz's younger half-brother. It had been just the two of them, the general and his tracker, and they had lost the younger male. No one but the two of them knew that it was on purpose. Neither Ela nor Gloz wanted to be the cause of Caspian's death, so they had agreed to lose the trail, to veer away.
She should have been punished severely for her failure as she was the tracker. But Gloz had taken every blow.
When he disappeared, she refused to believe he was dead or that he would just leave without telling her. So she began hunting for the truth of what happened to her cousin.
