The Rebirth of a Goddess
"The little cub was breathing weakly inside a shell of dark, vulcanic rock. Above her, an ancient goddess shined and burned like a red sun trapped inside a golden armor. She was a lioness, as high as mountain, with long horns and a crown of flames. The goddess' burning eyes stared at the small white lioness cub that lied in the rock crib.
"Wanderer, your request is accepted" the voice of the goddess shook the earth and mountains "Such a great cost this little life demands. You will grow and feed her mind with knowledge, you will guide her with discipline to the way of the warrior, and you will protect her with your life until her powers and her mind will be ready to accomplish the Task"
"I will, my Goddess" said the wanderer with a bow.
"May your word be true, for I will no longer exist and this cub will be be your new Goddess."
The goddess bent over the little creature and touched her minuscule forehead with one of her gigantic claws. As soon as the golden metal touched the white fur of the baby, a wave of red light blinded the wanderer and dyed the mountains in red. The fire trapped inside the body of the Goddess vanished and the pieces of her armors started falling like lifeless ruins. Piece by piece, the majestic creature fell down like a statue of dry sand stroke by a blow of wind.
The landscape looked like an endless and dusty graveyard. But among the ruins, a small thing shined bright and laughed joyfully. The small lioness was alive and her veins seemed to be filled with pulsing liquid fire. The linx wrapped in aquamarine clothings reached the rock shell and gently grabbed the lioness, then turned back and started walking down the path that brought them on the sacred mountain of the goddess.

You are a wonderful artist and narrator of story.
This is an unusual, and very strong scene. I remember that...
(And is there a story about the previous events. About the goddess and why it all happened?)

D'awww Little Scarlet is adorable!
And I like the remains of the ancient goddess a lot. Will we see what did she look like one day?

Of course, but I need some more drawing skill to paint the fire effects first
Ok I REALLY REALLY REALLY love the concept and story behind this, and spectacular art to match it!!
