You are but a child that is part of a lion tribe in the jungle that is close to a coast, however you aren't a lion like everyone else, you are a "primate"(human)

The three elders that lead the tribe found you in the jungle as a baby, alone and crying, they tried to get a member of the tribe to take you in and care for you but all of them refused, except for one...Kai. Kai is the strongest and toughest of the tribe, however he is very grumpy and isn't interested in having a mate or children, but he still volunteered to adopt you.

It's been years since then and you have gotten older. however you still couldn't catch many prey on your own unlike the lion children, you didn't have any claws, nor fangs, nor strong legs to help you pounce, you could only catch the occasional frog. So as usual, you went over to your dad, sleeping on the lush grass of the jungle, and shook him awake. He opens his eyes and looks over at you, his yellow eyes boring into you.

"Hmph...what it is it...?" He slurs out in his gruff, tired voice.
