Epic Of Caterpillar

Lionel was raised with love and care… but much like several other generations, when there were times of war, his parents died fighting for their people when he was twelve years of age.

However, the rest of his family was there for him, his uncle, and aunties, and he was raised with much love as with his parents.

Years later, when he was around twenty years old, as Lionel developed his abilities and participated in a tournament held in Moonfang, he met Jessica, a Half Lioness and Half-Human Warrioress raised by an Amazon Tribe, who had recently moved to Moonfang. She had entered the tournament looking for money to settle down.

Both Lionel and Jessica reached the last fight, both their claws and fists clashed against each other, and through this intense fight, both fell in love with each other.

A fight never saw before in previous generation Moonfang Tournaments, lasting for many hours, even after the night fell, both warriors couldnʼt falter against each other, and both ended up collapsing when the dawn came, and the sun rose through the horizon.

”Jessica, become my wife!” said Lionel, resting over the ground, his muscles were incredibly stiff and beaten, he could not move an inch, yet he was immensely happy. It was as if he had finally met his other half, even without knowing her until yesterday.

”Lionel, you fool, what are you talking about?! We met just yesterday! And why are you asking me that while you are on the floor, you canʼt move an inch!” laughed Jessica.

”Well… you cannot move an inch either!” laughed Lionel.

”It is too fast, Lionel! But… we can know each other better, what do you think?” said Jessica.

Lionel was the happiest man in Moonfang that day.

After that day, he and Jessica spent two weeks in the hospital regenerating their destroyed muscles, but through those days, they talked about many things, and both got to know each other.

After those two weeks, Lionel and Jessica regularly visited Dungeons and fought in tournaments, developing their relationship until one day…

”Jessica, it has been four years since then… But Iʼve been thinking about it nonstop!” said Lionel.

”Y-Yes?”

”Will you become my wife now? I will make sure to make you happy!” said Lionel, innocently.

”This is your number one hundred proposal, Lionel…” muttered Jessica.

”They say that if you want something, never give up!” said Lionel.

”Lionel, youʼre such a fool… but youʼre also an amazing man, I would love to become your wife,” said Jessica.

”Ah! Really?! Let us make babies right now!” said Lionel, carrying Jessica to his room.

”W-Wait a second, isnʼt this too fast?!”

On that day, Lionel and Jessica finally became one with each other, and the next day, they married in the church of Maeralya and her daughter Maiti, the Living Deity of Lions.

Jessica met all the expectations that a Queen could have, she was strong, intelligent, and had an immense love for the people of Moonfang, she became a just queen and was beloved by everyone.

Through the years, the wars began to escalate, the surrounding tribes, which were once pacific, became hateful and destructive, and constantly held wars against Moonfang, chaotic times were surging, and Lionel and Jessica fought through the wars, leading their people.

The Lions were the strongest Feline Beastmen, it was obvious that they would lead their people in wars, even if they were the rulers, their strength would be wasted sitting down in their thrones. After all, they once unified Moonfang with their strength, and they also had to protect it with their strength.

On that day, Jessica fell.

Lionel was busy taking down one of the leaders of the tribe that was attacking them, and he lost sight of his wife.

When he met her again, she was resting above a pile of corpses that she killed, a long lance was piercing her heart, her arms were broken, and her legs sliced off.

However, she had somehow won all the fights like this and was glancing at the sky.

”Jessica! Jessica, donʼt die!”

”Lionel, my foolish husband… It seems that my time has come… but our child, is still alive… please, make sure… to bring him out, okay? I love you,” said Jessica as she stopped breathing, her body becoming stiff, she died with her eyes open. It was as if she was resisting this whole time, for Lionel to come for her and say her goodbyes.

”Aaaah… Aaaaahh…! Aaaaaahhh! Jessica, Jessicaaaaaaa!!! GRAAAAAAAAAA!!!”
