A LION IS NOT A SUN Story Beats
In the desert of endless night,
...a princess awaits the sunrise.
…but it never comes.
Bored,
she looks at the world…
…she believes is beyond her reach.
And it makes her feel so very small and alone.
Until one day, a lion disturbs her peace.
And she finds enough courage to come meet him,
To make a friend, to learn something new.
She asks him questions about the sun.
But the lion thinks that her questions are silly and
naïve.
Yet, she keeps an open heart and open mind,
willing to learn from him.
The Lion turns into a boy and tells her that
it will always be night with no sun.
It upsets her, and they argue over what the sun
even is.
The argument quickly grows into a fight...
...and soon the two forget what even started it.
With strength and courage, the princess defeats the lion.
Embarrassed, he turns into a mouse.
And hides under the tower.
None
She goes back to her room.
None
As the time passed, he feels lonely and regretful.
So he climbs the tower wall to reconcile with the
princess.
But this time,
she is a lion.
None
...hiding behind her pride.
He does not know how to approach another lion, but
still tries.
But at his touch, she turns into a mouse.
He gives up on the reconciliation...
…and leaves.
None
As time passes, she also regrets the fight.
And feels more lonely than ever.
So she decides to go after him...
...through the cold desert.
And as she walks away, her tower crumbles to pieces,
leaving nothing to hold her back now.
And she bravely struggles against the desert wind.
The sandstorms force her to grow stronger...
...to stay on her feet.
None
Until she grows into a lion.
Eventually, the journey leads her back to the ruins of
the tower,
where she lies to rest.
