history:
As a cub, Mahtava and his family lived happily and peacefully in a small nook in the middle of an unknown plains. He was the apple of his parents eyes and an inspiraton for his younger sister. He tried his hardest to please his family but often got yelled at for getting in theway alot.One afternoon, Mahtava was hanging out with his friends when an old male approached; Mahtava was worried and so he left with his friens to a new spot; the elder lion followed until Mahtava was split from the group and cornered, he tried to yell out but it was too quiet to be heard
'Its ok Mahtava, I am your grandfather from a long way away' The old lion smiled at Mahtava, his grey hairs stood out on his face like white ants on dark soil.
'W-what do you want?' Mahtava shrunk to about half his size
'I hate to be the one to tell you this but... Your parents and family have perished in a horrible grass fire' His words trailedoff as he saw Mahtava's face droop, tears welled in his eyes and as if the old man was no longer a stranger; Mahtava buried his head in the lions mane and wept. Mahtava cried with the old male for an hour before the elder hesitantly took Mahtava back to his den.

As Mahtava grew, his family became a distant wisp of dust in the back of his mind, he was happy living with his grandfather and lived carefree; his grandfather taught him how to hunt and fend for himself. most importantly, how to charm a girl ^^ A couple of months passed and Mahtava's grandad slowly passed away because of cancer. Mahtava was torn and all alone, he was a little older now and knew he had to either find a pride to live off or die. He walked and walked and ran until his paws had blisters and his eyes were red from crying, he clambered over a small, grassy hill to reveal a beautiful valley layed out below. the land seemed to bow down to the great, pointed rock which was being engulfed in the suns rays; he knew this place, his grandfather had told him stories about it... about the pridelands. Mahtava was overwhelmed and as if he got all his energy back, he sprinted down the hill. Before Mahtava got the chance to look for a pride, he was greeted by a group of shabby looking cubs; some were really young and some were around his age. They all went on to say that they were all orphans and lived together at the 'orphanage' (Well a smallish cave under a huge acacia tree). Mahtava was fascinated at these cubs and decided to stick around them. One day Mahtava was out for a walk; he needed to clear his head as he was remembering his family. Not long after, he spotted a lioness around his age and probably her father, he kept walking until he heard an ungodly roar, he turned to find the lioness crying and an older lioness killing the male. Mahtava emmidiatly ran over and managed to save the girl from being slashed by the older lioness who was Zira. He was about to try and save the father but he was already laying lifelessly with blood stained fur. He took her back to the pridelands and found out her name was Moss; she was upset at him for taking her away from her father but then faced the fact that he did save her life and she had to be grateful.

A month passed and Mahtava and Moss were really good friends. She had become family in the orphans group and Mahtava soon grew feelings for her, one day the two were hanging out and he decided to blurt out all his feelings for her. He told her about his past and that he wanted to spend his future with her. There was tension but soon she answered with a nuzzle, Mahtava and Moss are madly in love and hpe to become mates when they are older.
