''Goodbye.. My son..''
It was a hot scorching summer morning.
The sun had barely began to peak into the sky, but it was obvious that the day was going to be a dreadfully hot one.
A beautifully tan lioness laid down under the shade of a small tree of the savanna. She laid besides her young cub, who was nursing on her happily.
The lioness was only a mother for a few short days now, but she loved her son with all her heart.
She knew that she was in a disastrous situation, and she did not want her son to have to live a life like she did -- full of lies and hate.
The cubs father was a nasty lion, who took advantage of the cubs mother. The cubs mother wanted nothing more then to leave -- but she knew she would get killed trying. She did not want to put her cub in that kind of danger.
The previous day, she had told a huntress of her pride to go to the neighboring pride The Pridelands. She wanted a word with the head huntress, and the reasoning was urgent.
The lion delivered the message to the neighboring pride's main huntress -- which at the time was Zira.
So it was due for this hot morning that Zira would arrive at the kingdom in which she waited.
Zira stuck true to her word.
Zira saw the lioness lying under the tree and she walked over to her slowly.
The lioness (the mother) didn't know what to think of the lioness that just approached her. She was just too happy too see her.
As Zira approached the queen of the pride, she asked, ''You asked for the head-huntress? Well I am the queen!''
The new mother got up gently, allowing her cub to gently slide down - for he had fallen asleep while nursing. He was now in a deep sleep right beside his mother.
The mother sat on her hind legs and looked deep into Zira's eyes, ''I thank you so much for coming! You see...''. She looked down ashamed to say what followed, ''I was betrothed to this king.. I don't want anything to do with his evil ways. He's a cruel leader, and in general a very evil lion.. He.. he abuses his power. He even, on several occasions, abuses me.''
The mother was beginning to tear up, but she knew she had to make her point, and fast, before the king found out what she was trying to do, ''And well, you see.. The king took advantage of me one night.. And I got pregnant with this cub here.. I love this cub with everything I am.. But.. I-I just don't want him to live the same life I do!''
Zira nodded her head, she understood what the lioness was now trying to say. She looked down to the cub for the first time. She really studied him, and she was amazed by how sturdy he looked for just a young cub. He was very strong, and just the way he breathed while he slept made it obvious he had great strength.
Zira smirked and looked back up to the lioness, ''I see what you are getting at.. You'd like for me to take the child into my pride..?''
The mother nodded slowly, tears rolling down her cheeks, ''Yes.. It pains me to depart with him.. but I want what is best for him, and here is not! I've heard such amazing things about your pridelands, it sounds like a gorgeous place.. I think he'll like it there..''.
Zira nodded and her smirk widened. She had one thing, and one thing alone on her mind -- making this child the heir she needed.
Zira cleared her throat and said sweetly, ''Aw yes, I just had a cub not too long ago myself.. Your beautiful son would make a handsome brother to my cub!''
The mother smiled at the friendliness of Zira, she then looked back down to her cub, ''Ryker.. his name is Ryker..''.
Zira chuckled, ''Aw, that's a wonderful name..''.
The mother lioness stood up on all four now, and nudged her son, giving permission to Zira to take him.
Zira took the hint and lowered her head to take the cub into her mouth gently.
The mother lioness was now soaked in her own tears as she thanked, ''I thank you so much for doing this..'' She looked at her son, and it just caused her to cry even more.
Zira smiled with her eyes alone and turned to walk away with her new addition to her family.
The mother just watched and whispered under her breath, ''Goodbye... my son...''.
Zira heard the final words of the mother, but she did nothing - she just ignored them. She was happy with the new cub, he was definitely a lot sturdier looking then her son - Nuka. She figured Scar would be happy with this cub, and would chose this cub as the heir to the throne.
So the walk back was a great one, the thoughts were ticking in Zira's head...
She was going to make this cub a cold-hearted killer..
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yep, so if you ever read Ryker's bio, you'll read that Zira is Ryker's adopted mother -- this is pretty much how it went down:
Ryker was born to a mother who had no freedom.
His mother was bethroyed to a male, a king of a pride. She didn't love the male, and wanted nothing more then to leave him. But her family, as a cub, made her be with this male. Even though he was a lot older then her, and somewhat of a creep.
Any chance she had, she always tried to leave, but when the king found out, he punished her severly. He was determined to have her for himself.
One day, the evil king took advantage of the poor lioness, and shortly after -- she found out she was expecting a cub. She was disgusted with the fact that she was bringing a child of the king, a child to that pathetic scum. She wanted nothing more then to get rid of the child the first chance she had.
But the moment Ryker was born, she instantly fell in love. She didn't want to get rid of it, but she knew deep down that this would be the best interest for her son.
A few short days after Ryker was born, his mother, the queen sent out a messenger to the neighboring pride -- she wanted to speak to the head huntress.
Little was it known, but it was in the middle of Scar's Reign of the pridelands, and at the time, the head huntress was Zira.
Zira had come over the previous day of the message to talk to the queen of the neighboring pride.
The queen had explained that she felt that it was for the best interest if she left the cub in the hands of another, that the king was a terrible king, and would be a bad influence on her son.
Zira insisted that she took the child out of the poor queens hands. That she'd raise the cub with a nice, healthy pride.
Ryker's mother was filled with bitter-sweet. She loved that her baby boy was going to be in a better home, but she hated departing with the one and only thing that mattered to her in this world.
Zira happily took the cub back to the pridelands to be with her and Scar. This was all shortly after Nuka was born, and the scrawny cub she called her son would not due for the heir of the throne. But Ryker, oh Ryker was perfect.
The moment Scar laid eyes on Ryker, he made Zira promise that she'll train him to be a killer - and a sinister lion like he was. He wanted one thing, and one thing alone from Ryker -- and that was to have Ryker be his personal assassin.
Haha. xD
Hope you like to read...
Anyways, tell me what you think of this awesome little Ryker. :3 He was designed by -DayDreamer-! & I absolutely love him!
