They say long ago, when the lands raged with war and the earth could not longer soak it up, began to ocean over in blood a lion, grieve'n and shattered by all the hatred and death begged and pleaded to the Gods for help. Seeing the lion's heart was true and his soul divine, answered his plea. The Gods temporarily swallowed the sun to grant him the power of Black-Life.
In gifting this power the Gods had also chosen to test him to see if he could hold to his word or allow the power to consume him. Astonishingly to both the Gods and animals of the land the lion had not only ending the war without a single drip of blood shed, but mastered the power.
Pleased the Gods praised the lion who thanked them wholeheartedly, but again they became bemused once more when the lion selflessly requested they take back the power. When asked why the lion simple said, "Such power is not right for only one to posses. As equally as it is not right to be shared, for another war would brake out for its control. I need no power other then my own strength to be happy."
Truly enriched by the lion's warm soul the Gods declined the lion. Not because of some punishment, but as a true gift. Touched the lion vowed to ensure peace and harmony throughout all the lands. In agreement the Gods touched his being, changing his pelt into that of star light and with his power of Black-Life they bestowed upon him the title, Black Sun.
It's rumored three Gods gave Black Sun special gifts to help him in guarding and guiding the lands for all time.

Amethyst eyes stretched in awe. "That's so amazing Grampa."
'Grampa', an elderly light brown lion with a full mane of gray from age chuckled with amusement. His violet eyes half-lidded in suspicion. "Almost everyday I've told you the same story since you were a cub, Yugi."
Yugi, is pure white lion. Though he's healthy Yugi's mane never really came in. In fact, he was practically maneless. It's only just visible with the semi-large amount of fluffy white fur that rounds his neck that others could just make out he was a lion and not a lioness. Something the poor lion had been mistaken and even picked on for quite a lot. Yugi was nearing the edge of his adolescent years, coming to the border into the world of an adult lion. Yet, regardless of this he still remained small. Even slightly smaller then most of the lioness in the pride, this only aiding in the teasing of him being a female instead of a male.
"I can't help it Grampa, you know it's my favorite story."
Chuckling, "It's the only story you've let me tell," the elder replied.
Yugi smiled when his name was then called. Looking over to the side Yugi's smile only beamed brighter at the pale yellow pelt and golden maned lion that approached. His golden brown eyes shimmered with happy mischief. "Morning Gramp's."
"Good morning Joey. I'm assuming you wish to take Yugi on another one of though 'small outings' again?" a rise of suspicion and reprimanding rose in Grampa tone.
Joey grinned sheepishly. "Nah. Not today Gramps. We were going to head to the Blooming Hill with the gang. Serenity wanted to get some new flowers and she asked I bring the gang along."
Yugi's eyes began to shine. "Oh please Grampa! Can't I go?" The old lion chuckled while nodding. Yugi cheered, butting his head against the elder's chin with a grateful purr. "Thank you Grampa."
"Just be careful and be back before sun-down."
"Right. Later Grampa!"
"Don't worry Gramps, I'll make sure he's protected." Joey vowed before turned and rushing after his excited albino friend.
The elder though sigh with worrisome vivid among his whole being. "That's what I'm worried about," he mutter.

Yugi and Joey rushed through the tall green grass. They lived in a place call the Sun Lands, for it was rumored Black Sun himself had once claimed these lands as his home. It was a very lush and peaceful place. Even though the pray animals knew the predators hunted them it was law that the injured or sickly were to be the focused ones unless for predator animals in expecting. Also, under no circumstances was a pregnant animal to be targeted and to leave the stronger ones be. This law was to ensure the pray animals would not demand so much to help keep there herds strong as well as to maintain the predators food supply.
It was also forbidden that all animals, predator and pray alike, are to be harmed at the Watering Hole. That area was to be a safety zone for all to drink and cool off.
As Yugi and Joey reached the top of the slop they could see the rest of there gang that consisting of all males lions except for two females.
Not to far form them sat a dark brown pelted male with an even darker brown mane. A slight pointy spike poked out from the top of his mane as brown eyes seemed to be watching a reddish-brown pelted, black wavy maned male who's rich green eyes shun with laughter as he chatted with one of the females. A bit of a trail of black stretched down from under his left eye to his cheek.
His female companion has a light golden brown pelt with dark, slightly murky green eyes.
A few feet away from them lay a rich, earthy brown pelted female with very deep, almost midnight blues eyes. Sitting beside her was a pale golden yellow male was a slightly darker pale golden mane with a few more spikes dropping down here and there and light purple if not lilac eyes. The final male lay on his side in front of the brown female. His pale gray-white pelt and pale, light brown-white mane had somewhat large spikes flowing down. His soft earthy, brown eyes shun with laughter. His ears and toes tipped light brown with a small light brown stripe streaking vertical atop his muzzle from nose base to half way up his muzzle.
"Hey guys, I got Yug' now lets go!"
At the shout from Joey six others rose to there paws with large smiles. "Great, lets go!"
"By the way Serenity why did you want us all to come with you?" asked the green eyed lion before grinning down at the murky green eyed female. "Not that I mind of course."
Serenity giggled causing a male a few feet away to frown, glaring.
"Hey, Duke! Keep your paws off my sister ya hear!" Joey growled.
"Relax man I'm only being polite." Duke retorted.
"Well be less polite about it."
"Joey be nice. Duke's just being Duke. He's always like this when we hang out."
"What!" Joey gasp. "You mean to tell me he's been hanging out wi'ch ya? Alone!?" the pale yellow male practicality roared.
"Joey you're highly overreacting, as usual," the brown female scolded. Her blue eyes narrowing with annoyance.
"Anzu… Bu-But-B-But…"
"They're right Joey. We've all hung out with Serenity on our own times. I don't see why Duke is such a problem." spoke the pale gray-white calmly.
"I don't believe this, not you too Ryou! Tristan, help me out here pal?" but the dark brown male stayed quite, only focusing on walked forwards. "Malik?"
The pale golden yellow male only snickered at his friend's pleaded look causing the golden brown eyed lion to snort seeing he was at a loss.
Yugi lightly giggled. "Come on guys, lets get those flowers."
With that said the whole gang picked up speed and began to race off up the final hill. As Yugi, being the last, made it up his large eyes shimmered in wonder. It seemed no matter how many times he came here it was still so beautiful. Flowers of several colors ranging from reds, oranges, greens, blues, whites and yellows blossomed over the open field.
Within moment Serenity was out flower hunting. It seemed the sight had gotten to everyone cause not a moment after she took off everyone else bolted in there own directions.
Yugi headed over to a patch of bright white, blue and red flowers. Sitting down Yugi picked some close to the root and began weaving them together. It took about fifteen minutes, but to Yugi it seemed as though he had just started once he was finish. It was a flower necklace.
Yugi smiled fondly at his handy work. Glancing around he watch everyone having a good time.
Ryou and Malik laughed in a patch of yellow and green flower while a few feet away Serenity was admiring some oranges, blues, and reds. Seemingly asking for Joey's opinion on something. Duke and Tristan looked to me laughing and joking as Tristan played with some red flowers, looking to be pretending he was someone. Whoever it was had caused Duke to be thrown back into historical laughter.
Yugi noticed Tristan was a lot happier now then before. He wondered what was wrong but figured if his friend wanted to talk to him he would. Anzu however was no where in sight, but Yugi didn't worry about her. He knew she was capable of taking care of herself and knew where they were if she needed help.
Grinning back down as his necklace Yugi went to put it on when something rubbed up against his side…purring.
"That's really pretty Yugi. Who's it for?"
"Yeah Anzu, thanks. It's actually something I made for myself," he answered placing the floral necklace on.
Anzu pouted before frowning. "I though males were suppose to give this like that to the females they like," she said sweetly.
Though she may not have seen it, Yugi's eyes darkened slightly with sadness.
Ah yes. That again. He sighed. "I'll make another one later." he pull a smile.
Anzu nuzzled under his chin. "I really like blue and white," she purred seductively near his ear causing Yugi to shudder. Though the shudder was not for the reason she thought. Licking his cheek Anzu then turned and began her own hunt of pretty flowers.
The moment she was gone Yugi rose to his paws groaning as he began strolling through the field for a bit before coming to a small tree some ways out. Smiling he walked under its shady leaves and laid down.
It was moments like these that made Yugi wish harder then he ever did before that he could change who we was. The simpleness of just going out with his friends, relaxing in the shade, flower picking, carelessly strolling though fields. And above all… Love.
Yeah. He'd miss this terribly.
Slowly the albino lion's eyes began to get heavy. Yawning he sighed as he laid his head down. 'A little nap won't hurt. Besides, the others know where I am.' With that Yugi began to doze off.
