The golden sun beat down relentlessly on the dry, sprawling savannas.
On top of a massive, sun-baked boulder, a giant golden lion was currently completely sprawled out on his back.
His massive paws twitched in the air, his mouth wide open as a loud, earth-shaking snore rattled out of his chest.
A single fly buzzed around his nose.
The lion's nose scrunched up. He let out a lazy, rumbling growl, snapped his massive jaws at the air, and missed entirely.
With a heavy, dramatic sigh, the lion rolled over.
Where the beast had just been lying, a tall, incredibly muscular young man now sat up. He had wild, untamed golden hair that flowed all the way down his broad back, deeply tanned skin, and golden eyes.
He was also completely, utterly naked.
Jin Xuan, the proud son of the Golden Mane Tribe's Chief, let out a jaw-cracking yawn. He stretched his thick arms above his head, unapologetically scratched his stomach, and looked up at the sky.
