LION KING LIONESS FULLWillingly she told them, and smiled as she watched their faces full of rapture as the words from her mouth filled the hair and went into their ears, their minds, and their hearts. A grumpy tortoise, two pigeons, and a mouse, who said they came from a place far far away, approached her and asked for her best tales. She could not place her claw on what it was until one day she was approached by some creatures wanting to hear her tales. Lions from all around and even many neighboring creatures came around to hear her speak, but she never felt as though she truly belonged there. So Cleo started her role as a storyteller in the pride, but over time found herself feeling out of place. Each band represented a different chapter in her life, which would become a story to share, and the more bands one had, it meant they had more experience and stories to tell. She fondly remembered when she had passed her final test and was awarded her necklace, made of woven grass and straw, the mark of a true storyteller. Cleo herself spent many seasons under the tutelage of the pride's storytellers, practicing and honing her own skills so that she could share her love of oral storytelling with everyone. Not only was oral storytelling important as a way to unify the pride, but it was also a way to connect with the world, to better understand both it and themselves. It was not only an important rite of passage in the pride to be familiar with the stories, but to be able to weave the tales of their history and lore of the world into imaginative images perceived by the mind's eye through listening, it was a great honor and a great skill to have.

She wasn't anyone special within the ranks of the pride, though she was loved all the same.

Since I am a big TLk fan, it wasn't hard to get inspired to do something to combine the two. To be honest, I am more of the latter and have only recently started watching reruns of the episodes on YouTube, rekindling my childhood nostalgia and joy. either you have never seen Between the Lions or it's been a very long time you've seen it. So if the picture or the title didn't clue you already who these characters are. Betcha didn't see this coming! Oh Vtoony has done something slightly other then TLK-centric stuff? Blasphemy! Witchcraft! Sacrilege! Burn the witch! ![]()
