Once there was a Lion, a really prideful Lion. A Lion who hated liars with all his guts and the Lion scorned the Cub that his Sister saved from the pond. Not for anything else but because the Cub was a Kitten in disguise; a liar. The Lion tossed the Kitten back into the pond, refusing to hear his Sister's plea nor his Sister's proposal and the Kitten sank deep into the pond, struggling.

But somehow the Kitten survived. She swam ashore and became a wild and rabid fake Lion; tearing away and breaking all conventional paths. 

All attacks were pointless. One by one the plants in the jungle started leaning towards her, as if she was the sun. Like an infectious disease, the Sunflower disease spread. It was unimaginable, the explosiveness of her infectious rabid nature. She was a wild hunter preying on all in the jungle. The Sunflower field was her Kingdom. Her own circle of protection and the cause of her doom. The Lion strip her of her deceit, revealing her to be the Kitten she actually was, and the Sunflowers turned on her; Becoming the sword against her instead of her shield.

The Lion felt no guilt in his action. He had vanquished another liar in the world. The Kitten vanished among her field of Sunflowers and the Lion carried on his life, striving to conquer the jungle. 

In a blink of an eye, he became a lone fighter; his Brother and Sister no longer by his side. And when he did find them, they were both defending the body of the young kitten. Imagine your Sister defending what you set out to expose. Imagine your Brother turning on you for a stranger.

The Lion died a successful man but a loner in the end, but he received one more chance mysteriously. Somehow, at the final last moment of his life as the Lion breathed out his last breath; he breathed in fresh air as well. He was back in the youth of his days. He was given one more chance to re-live his life and his sole aim upon his discovery, was to make sure his siblings would never abandon him this time round. That they would be present during his funeral, sending him off.

Thus, he held back his critiques and accepted everything his siblings said. He accepted the Kitten into his Kingdom. It would be a good bargain should the Kitten display such prowess under his Kingdom. If all the Sunflowers were under his Kingdom. The Kitten's value was monetary, and the Lion tried to be civil with the Kitten.

The Lion spun an imaginary pool and threw the Kitten in. Once again, just like before the Kitten swam out, wilder and tougher but not as rabid as before, biting and engulfing everyone she meets. As the time goes by, as the Kitten displayed her ability before the eyes of the Lion. The Lion couldn't help but wonder: which version of the Kitten is real? 

Was the Kitten truly the villain to be vanquished or did the Lion become the villain for vanquishing the Kitten.

The Lion wished he didn't like the Kitten just a little too much. He wished the Kitten had really been as evil as the Lion presumed. But reality just wasn't like that. This Kitten is the very existence he hates with his very soul. A Kitten wrapped in a bubble of lie.
