*Curtains raise*

Enter, a lion

A giant golden beast, a main so thick, teeth so large

A growl just barely audible, yet the rumbles vibrate like thunder

The eyes, piercing, a penetrating stare

A hint of brown, a kiss of death

A softness inside the eyes, looking past all the rage

A small afraid cat, grown into an apex predator

A stature so feared, no words need to be spoken

The eyes, so soft, yet so full of heat

A heart so big, a heart so felt

Silence fills the air

Breathe in, breathe out

Roar.
