This is a Christian story with elements from the bible stories I read and enjoyed as a kid. I wanted to write a story that utilized the best intentions of what to learn from the stories passed on from the bible. The idea of having lions vs tigers was the perfect opportunity to express that. In a world that reflects our own what could be more important than learning from the genocide of a race. Such as the Jews of Germany.
Lion Ascend is the last lion and learns that he must face fear in the face and learn that the animals that love and die to protect him will all be in vain unless he stands up and honors the prophecy that has been fortold. Issiah fortold the coming of Jesus Christ and the huge impact that the son of God would have on the world. We will never know the truth if Jesus was scared of leading people to God, but if we understand the weight of expectation we would probably be scared. I would be scared and that’s illustrated in Lion Ascend.
They passed though the mountain range and volcanoes known as the Bad Lands. The volcanoes were spitting out magma, as they had for hundreds of years. The Bad Lands was a place that the tigers and other animals of evil lived after it had been abandoned by the lions.
Enoch flew through smoke and lost sight of Jezebel, but the shadows of the volcanoes could be seen. The eagle flew closer to the black volcanoes and felt the hot levels of hell spill near him. He remembered the stories told long ago that the volcanoes never used to exist and that the land used to be a meadow with forests. The Bad Lands didn’t emerge until the lions were eliminated. Somehow, something had transformed the land to the present status, as it is now. Flash backs emerged in Enoch’s mind of the past battles that were lost to the tigers that took place on the Bad Lands.
The eagle reached a dead volcano called Death Mountain and watched the crow fly through the top of it. Enoch landed on the side of the volcano near an opening that led inside and cautiously walked inside. He walked around on the ledge and realized he was high in the roof of the volcano. The eagle looked around to see big birds just below him as well as hundreds of tigers, hyenas, coyotes and jackals talking amongst themselves. Enoch could hear one of them talk about a grand march to destroy the wolves and the lion cub. A tiger that sat in the throne rose up from the shadows and stepped near the pond of magma. Enoch heard the other tigers call him Lord Tyrone. All the tigers respected him with the nod of their heads.
“My brothers, soon we shall have revenge and rip the hearts out of the last believers!” boasted Tyrone.
“General Cabass tell our followers what our plans are,” ordered Tyrone.
“We shall destroy the prophecy of Lion Ascend,” declared General Cabass as Tyrone nodded his head.
