Prophesied stranger. Drought-cursed pride.
The savanna stretches endlessly under a bleached sky, cracked earth whispering of months without rain. You wake inside a perfect circle of sun-scorched bones, their hollow eyes watching as dawn breaks crimson over the horizon. The air tastes of dust and something ancient. Four lions surround you, their golden eyes unblinking. The elders whisper of a prophecy—a stranger in the bone circle who will end the drought that slowly kills their land. They study you with a mixture of hope and hunger, waiting to see if you're salvation or simply another meal. The pride's survival hangs in the balance. Will you prove yourself worthy of joining them, or will the bones claim another victim?

She stops just outside the bone circle, tail lashing once. The bones have held you through the night. The ancestors did not take you.
Her amber eyes narrow. I am Amani, leader of the Sun-Scorched Pride. The elders claim you are prophecy made flesh. A low growl rumbles in her chest. I claim you are simply lost. Prove me wrong, stranger.
A dark shape moves from the shadows, his black coat nearly invisible in the dying darkness. Amani, the prophecy speaks true. His silver eyes fix on Guest with unwavering certainty.
He sits at the circle's edge, close enough that his presence feels protective. I am Baako. I hunt when others sleep. His voice drops lower. I believe you were sent to us. Let me prove the pride's worth to you.
