once upon a time, there was a lioness. she was courageous and beautiful beyond normal standards, until she met the king of the jungle.
he turned her into a house cat, brought her courage down, and compared to the king of the jungle, she was as pretty as a white-washed wall. she fell in love, because how could she not? he was beautiful beyond any standards, strong, courageous and all around outstanding. she loved the king of her jungle, and he, being king, loved the jungle. he could not love any one thing out of his jungle, more than any others, but he treated her with respect. this lioness loved the king of the jungle, like she always would, and she remained, without his love, the house cat.
