History: Cziw was born in a litter of two in the Tyba Pride. His mother was always very proud of her young cubs, besides Onyx, whom she adopted, they were her first real, blood cubs!

Cziw always looked up to Odin as a cub, he loved the mighty king. A month after Cziw's birth, Odin had a cub. A female cub. Her name was Sinceri. 

After the death of Sinceri's mother, Odin offered to take Cziw under his wing, in return, Cziw would protect Sinceri with his life. Cziw, idolizing the king, took the deal.

Odin taught Cziw everything there was to know about hunting. Before Cziw was even a teen, he'd become the greatest hunter of the pride. But if Odin taught Cziw anything, it was to be a respectful hunter. "Never kill for fun, only food.". And Cziw learned just that.

Cziw hunted with the hunting party, catching all the meals and returning it back to the den. There was 5 other cubs his age in the hunting party, Aven, Arbella and her sister Maribella, and of course his twin Mythimi and brother Onyx. Aven was always close to her mother, so Cziw never really payed much attention to her. But the others; Arbella. Arbella was a very graceful hunter. She hunted with poise, and made it look simple, she also was a fantastic hunter by the time she was a teen. Maribella. She was a very down to earth lioness, always eager to talk with Cziw. She was a great friend to Cziw his entire life, he always could talk to her whenever he had troubles with something personal.

He loved his sister Mythimia. They always had the same humor, and they just connected on a mental level. As a cub, they always ventured off together and explored. They always got along great.
 

With Onyx however, they seemed to always bump heads. Lyla looked at it as brotherly kindship - but it seemed different.

When Cziw wasn't hunting, he was baby sitting the princess, Sinceri. He didn't really think of it as baby sitting. He enjoyed being with Sinceri. She was fun, and very playful. They used to play fight a lot, though Sinceri was never good at it. Every once in a while, Sinceri would wonder off without Cziw, but it was always Cziw's job to find her and watch over her. He's gotten the young princess out of more jams then he can count.

As Cziw grew to be an adult [along with the rest of the lion(ess)s his age], he became the leader of the hunting party. Him, and the lioness Arbella. Arbella grew up to be a very talented huntress. Her and Cziw were almost perfectly matched with their hunting skills. That being said, Arbella and Cziw were assigned to a lot of hunts together -- they also were assigned to go on scouts for the princess a lot.

Sinceri grew up to be even more adventerous then when she was a cub. Cziw and Arbella usually had their hands full with the princess.

One day, as Sinceri and Cziw were together stargazing, they were in a deep conversation. Sinceri was asking the handsome lion who is love interest was, and Cziw, not ever really thinking about it - admitted he had no clue. Sinceri mocked him and declared that he was foolish - that it was obvious him and the head huntress Arbella were meant for eachother.

At first Cziw thought it couldn't be true. But after thinking about it, they couldn't be any more right. Cziw thought Arbella was the beautifulest lioness. He also loved that they had so much in common, they always shared their thoughts with one-another, and no one understood Cziw's ways of thinking like Arbella did. Arbella was also a very sweet lioness, always putting others before herself. Cziw absolutely adored that about her.

Cziw, not knowing that Arbella loved him back, shyly told Arbella his feelings. Arbellas eyes filled with tears as she explained that she too loved him. That she always loved him. Cziw was never happier than he was that moment.

Cziw and Arbella were living a very happy life together until one day, Arbella found another male by the name of Blade.

After a very short time, Arbella fell in love with Blade. And after a huge battle with Blade, Arbella and Cziw decided to part their ways..

Cziw, was now all alone.

Arbella.. was killed.

Cziw's bride - his love of his life - was taken from him. He hated himself for it every day. He felt so alone - so betrayed. But really, he wasn't. There was another familiar face in the same situation as he was -- Maribella!

Maribella, Arbella's sister, and Cziw's old friend. She was the only one who ever treated him the same after the death of Arbella. They both grew dependent on one another. They both talked and shared feelings every day, and then it became clear that they were going to be imseperable.

Cziw always asked Maribella to join him on his hunts, he liked the company and missed it. Some say he was replacing Arbella with Maribella, but he didn't see it that way. He didn't see it that way at all. It was different with Maribella. With Maribella, it was more fun, more carefree. When he was with Arbella, they always seemed to eager to get the hunt out of the way, that way they could spend the rest of their days doing other things. But with Maribella, she seemed to make it fun.

Cziw began to slowly feel so comfortable with Maribella. He was beginning to feel like a man - not a subject of the king.

The support turned into a rekindled friendship.
That friendship turned into a crush..
and that crush will eventually turn into a mutual love. <3

But what would Onyx think? Onyx and Maribella shared a crush..

But..

Things were starting to become perfect again. Cziw was expecting a cub with his new bride, and he couldn't be happier.. Well, almost. He still had a blood lust for Blade. He wanted to see Blade suffer, if that was the last thing he'd do.

He hated the fact that a lion could be so unclassy enough to take away a bride of someone else. No, Cziw had no feelings for Arbella - but his hate remained for Blade.

Fortunately, Arbella wasn't really dead - she was just in a brief coma. And Arbella and Blade were out living in a den inside of No-Man's Land.

Cziw had to think about how to take down his biggest enemy, for just killing him wouldn't do, for Arbella would fight to protect Blade..

Cziw concieved and idea!

One day a lioness stumbled upon the Tyba Pridelands, and the penalty for doing so would usually be death. But Cziw saw a beauty in this lioness that he knew he could use.

For Blade had one weakness - his selfcontrol when it came to lionesses.

So Cziw made a deal with this lioness, she may live IF she helps him take down his greatest foe.

The lioness, who we find out is Meg, accepts the offer - in exchange for her life and freedom.

The lioness uses her beauty and wits to charm Blade. And although the plan only worked half as good as it expected, it still got Arbella to leave Blade alone just long enough for Cziw to take down Blade.

It was an epic battle, but Cziw decided to play dirty - he forced Meg to fight along side him.

Meg did so, at  first. But watching the innocent Blade fall to his near death made Meg snapped. She began defending Blade - and she took a stand against Cziw.

Cziw was angered at first, but Meg demanded a fair fight. She argued for Blade, proving to Cziw that hating him was wrong.

Cziw realized that this strange lioness was right - that he had too much to live for. He was a new husband, an expecting father. He did not need to be held up in grudges.

So he left the battle - allowing Meg her freedom, and Blade his life. For he was no longer going to attack Blade.

He returned back to the Tyba Pride, to rejoin his bride.

He was so happy to have Maribella as his bride - and was even more happy that they were going to have a cub.

His REAL life could begin~

The life he waited so long to obtain - and it was finally perfect!

His daughter Amirah was born, and things were just perfect.
