Complications..~
It was a warm summer evening, and Odin had finally finished his training to be king. He was in his early adulthood; and the king knew that Odin would be ready to take charge when he were to step down.
Odin knew since cubhood that he was betrothed to marry Lyla, but growing up he just had a friendship for her, and nothing more. He had no idea how he was going to tell his dad.. He was growing worried about it, for the days were counting down before the wedding.
Odin looked to the Great Kings of the Past for guidance.
As Odin sat looking upon the stars, Lyla - his best friend and betrothed bride - walked over to him and sat beside him quietly.
She had a sweet smile upon her face, and she didn't want to disturb Odin, she just wanted to enjoy his company. He was a very dear friend to her, and she could tell his training had been stressing him; he just needed a friend.
After a few minutes of them both staring at the stars, Odin worked up the courage to turn to Lyla and confront her.
His face was full of worry, but was quickly distinguished when he saw Lyla's smiling face staring up at him with comfort.
Lyla asked her friend with a soft whisper, ''What's wrong, Odin?''
Odin sighed deeply and then admitted, ''I-It's the wedding.. No.. No offense, but I don't want to marry you Lyla..''.
Lyla giggled and looked at her friend with a wider smile, ''Well, that's great to hear, because I don't want to marry you either..''.
Odin smiled when he heard Lyla admit it, but his puzzled look quickly returned as he thought out loud, ''Yeah but the tradition..''.
Lyla rolled her eyes and then looked to her friend with a confident sparkle in her eye, ''But the tradition? Odin.. tradition is tradition! Who cares.. You are the future king.. You have a right in deciding who you will wed..''.
Odin sighed once more and then repeated, ''But they want the prince to marry the head huntress.. It's always been that way..''.
Lyla sighed and then tried to comfort with a gentle smile, ''Well, why don't you change the rules a bit, Odin.. Tell your father that you love Chanelle.. and not me.''.
Odin gasped and looked at his friend confused, he couldn't believe Lyla has known all along about his love interest with Chanelle - Lyla never hinted to knowing, and yet she has known all along.
Lyla raised an eyebrow to her friend and then Odin finally caved, ''First thing in the morning I'll tell my father..''.
Lyla giggled and her nose wrinkled in the cute manner in which it always had since cubhood. She placed her head under Odin's chin and gave him a gentle friendly nuzzle.
Odin closed his eyes and returned the soft nuzzle happily. He had always cared for Lyla as a friend, she was a very smart lioness, and he didn't know where he'd be without her.. but he could never love her more than a friend.
But Lyla understood - for she could never love him more than a friend.. Because what Odin didn't know was.. Lyla had another lion in her life.

Yep, I don't write a lot about Odin and Lyla's cub/teen-hood, so I decided to make an image and give ya a short description on it. :3
I'd really love to know what you people think of the history of Lyla and Odin! :D
