– "Akua vs Jabari (The Bravest)"

Plains scorched by fire, smoke hanging in the air. Kiros' forces spread out towards the sacred spring of the Pride Lands. A roar splits the sky as Jabari leaps to the front line, his eyes fixed on a silhouette walking through the smoke with confidence and fury: Akua.

Akua, with icy and focused eyes, is a tall lioness, with white fur with gray spots. Her past is marked by abandonment and contempt, and now she wants to prove that the rejected can be the victors.

Akua: — "You are their Bravest? Then come prove it!" — she roars.

Jabari, with his firm posture and the lion's mark glowing on his shoulder, faces her:

Jabari: — "I fight not for pride... but to protect those who trust me."

The battle is intense. Akua is aggressive, fast, and agile, using her fury as strength. But Jabari uses his bravery not to attack—but to resist. He holds off powerful attacks, protecting the weaker ones behind him. Finally, seeing that his strength does not break the Guardian Lion's morale, Akua momentarily retreats, panting.

Akua: — "Why don't you attack me with everything you've got?" — she growls.

Jabari: — "Because courage is not about hurting. It's about choosing what is worth protecting."

This answer echoes in Akua's mind as she flees into the shadows of war, shaken by a truth she didn't want to hear.

🦁 Note for Players: You can play Akua, a character from the scene, or an original character.
