Ashlan was born to Cleon and Theron the leaders of his birth pride of 7 smilodons, the pride lived in a vast cave in a grassy land multiple territories away from the Lazarus Peninsula. His parents were content in their land and grew comfortable with the thought that no one would venture into the territory, for the sake of them being the largest group for miles around. The alpha female Cleon (.) was pregnant with her first litter and the rightful heir of the pride. Only she knew that it wasn’t Theron’s offspring, it was a rouge that had tricked her into a sense of security and taken advantage of her by offering her meat layered with toxins.
She woke disoriented but not far from the pride, soon afterward she realized she was pregnant and couldn’t hide it from Theron any longer. Theron rejoiced that he would finally have a successor and begin to wind down as he grew older and more unable to fight and hunt for the pride. Months flew by until it was time for Cleon to have her litter, the birth was bloody and she lost two of her three cubs who’d been affected by the toxins that were inside her at the time of their conception. The living cub was named Perceus and grew to be larger than the average smilodon and seen as a half breed among his peers and the other cubs of his generation.
When he was young, Perceus was completely unaware of the way his fellow pride members treated him, and was protected fiercely by both his parents. Even if Theron his adopted father was a bit strained by his presence, a constant reminder of what had happened to his mate. He tried his best to love Perceus like his own, and the young cub did his best to impress his father in everything he did. From the small things he caught to the wrestling matches he’d win with the other cubs. Perceus grew to be a large muscular teen that was fiercely protective of his pride and did all he could to provide for them as his parents grew old and others of his generation prepared to take their proper place in the pride.
Cleon became pregnant with her second litter, this time by her mate Theron the pride rejoiced at having a full blooded successor of the pride. Because of this Perceus lost all the ground he’s made in the pride, proving himself to his peers and getting a good relationship with his adoptive father. He became furious and resented any siblings that were to come with a fierce passion that was noticed immediately by his father. Theron’s patience snapped and he struck Perceus across the face, leaving a deep scar around his eye and saying, “Now they’ll know just what a freak you are.” And afterwards refusing to speak or associate with him unless it was for the sake of the pride.
The pride was in between generations and preparing for the soon to be elders to step down and the young adults to take their place and succeed their parents. Since the pride was so consumed with training the younger generation and waiting for Cleon’s next litter to be born, they neglected to properly check and mark their borders. A rouge wandered in and made its way into the prides central den, they rouge was young, strong, and a fierce fighter and took on all of the elders, minus the Alphas, and took them down in a rush of limbs and teeth. When he made his way to the den, Theron fought the male till they were both bleeding profusely and out of breath. The alpha male was hell bent on fighting to the death, even if it was uncertain who would win; the alpha was a skilled fighter but was running out of energy. The rouge had the energy but was incredibly out skilled. In a spur of pure luck, the rouge pinned Theron down and made a wager with him when he saw the near birth alpha female. “I’ll be back in eight months’ time for your next born, if it’s a female; your pride lives, she comes with me and lives a content life by my side.” He’d said. “If it’s a male, all of the alphas die and I take over this nice little pride of yours, maybe if he’s small minded enough. He can become my second in charge.” With that he walked away without another word as he exited the territory. A week later Cleon went into labor and gave birth to Ashlan, born with the name Ashanti, the pride was devastated at the news, and he was kept in the cave with his mother for the first of his life as the pride prepared for the rouges return. Theron tried to persuade his pride to train and prepare for the attack, but it was hopeless. All of them were depressed and defeated, except Perceus. He trained night and day to so he could face the rouge and retake his place in the pride.
The time came for the rouge to return and most of the elders had begun to turn on Theron and his mate, rarely listening to them and snarling when they tried to eat the prides kill. The alphas stayed away from the pride all they could and Theron managed to feed the four of them. By then, Ashanti was seven and a half months old and knew why the rest of the pride disliked them, even though he’d never met any of the smilodons in his life, only smelled them from the inside of the cave. Perceus had turned into a well-oiled machine and was more than prepared to match up with the rouge, his unknown father’s species made him into a larger than the biggest smilodon in the pride with teeth that were sharper and more resilient than any regular sabers’.
When the rouge finally arrived, Ashanti was dragged out of the den by Perceus to present to the rouge. The rouge gave disapproved and said for the rest of the Alphas to present themselves, Ashanti ran to his father and hung onto his leg in terror. Theron shook him off and snarled at the pre-teen smilodon. “You’ve been nothing but a burden on this pride, you are not my son.” Ashanti cried at the foot of his mother as they waited to be killed, his little heart breaking at his father’s words. Perceus stepped forward and tackled the rouge, intending to fight him to the death but, he made a split second decision as he towered over the male.
“I think you would be a better leader than my father and myself, one the condition you spare my mother and my little brother’s life, you may lead this clan with my support.” he’d said and shocked his family at the notion, his father becoming enraged at the audacity Perceus had to have him as ‘collateral’ in the situation. The rouge replied “This will mean your father will have to die and your mother will become my partner,” he’d given the offer thought but warned him of the other parts to the truce. Perceus only answer with a glance at his mother, “That sorry excuse for an Alpha is not my father,” he answered, “But very well.”
The rouge had laughed in delight at getting to spread blood over his new territory and make an example in front of his new pride. Perceus sheltered his little brother from the fight with his paw on his back pressing the still crying Ashanti into his side. The rouge lunged and attacked the alpha with everything he had and emerged the victor of the brawl. The rouge, who became known as Gorgus ruled the pride with an iron fist and expanded the territory and the pride rapidly, making the group of smilodons even more feared (and hated) than before.
Ashanti grew into his teens with his brother to teach him everything he needed to know about defending the pride, fighting, and hunting. Perceus became his idle and all he wanted to be like; the new Alpha Gorgus regarded him with a kind eye and approved of his fighting technique when he sparred. Ashanti still resented his father, but his indifference to his death didn’t make it any easier to not miss the nice times they had when he was a cub. His mother still had a faraway look when she was alone, but learned to accept Gorgus as the new alpha and her mate. Gorgus started taking him away during his free time and began to groom him to be his successor. As much as Ashanti didn’t want to rule the pride, he followed the alpha’s orders for fear of what he might do.
Ashanti had become into a lithe, quick witted, muscular young adult when Gorgus told him that he would announce him to the pride as his successor and he would take his place among the pride. He was worried, this wasn’t at all what he wanted, and he didn’t want to follow in Gorgus’s footsteps, he wasn’t fit to be a leader. When he brought it up to Perceus, he understood and plotted with him. The day before the announcement, they ran to the next territory and planted fur that Perceus had ripped from his pelt around the edge and to the reptiles that lived there.
