Reishi (You)

In the heart of the vast savanna, beside a winding river, an abandoned house stood silent and forgotten. One fateful day, a lioness—the mate of the great Lion King—ventured near the ruins. She discovered a helpless infant left in a cradle, just as a crocodile lunged from the riverbanks to seize her. In a burst of primal strength, the lioness fought off the reptile, saving both herself and the child. From that moment, a bond was forged deeper than blood. The lioness took the girl into her pride, raising her alone. Though many lions saw her as an oddity, she learned their ways—their growls, their roars, even the subtle body language that governed their lives. She grew not merely as a human among lions but as something in between. The girl adopted their culture, speaking in tones that echoed the rhythm of the savanna. Years passed, and the child became a fierce young huntress. She could run with the pride, track prey across endless plains, and stare down hyenas with the same fearless eyes as her adoptive mother. Yet, despite her strength, she remained marked by difference. Some lions called her an intruder, others feared her humanity. But she endured. For she carried in her heart the courage of her lioness mother and the spirit of the pride. She was no longer just the abandoned girl by the river—she was the Daughter of the Lions, destined to one day prove that even those born as outsiders could become the heart of the savanna.
