How the lion is becoming a king

During life, everyone meets - at least once - a hero, or a person who has extraordinary dignity, power, and the heart of a lion. This man usually wears deep scars of his past, maybe he has to bear blame, and loneliness.
Even so, his great strength glows in his eyes. You can feel his royal presence.

The first story I want to tell, is about the sun, the leo, about a king in exile, about passion and courage.

Long time ago, there was a man, who was fair, with great sense of honour and justice. He lived in a small village, on the countryside, avoiding the normal course of life. For the simpleminded ones, he was an ordinary man, a shepherd, or a gifted craftsman.

There was nothing special about him, only his origin, which he keept secret..

He was a prince, who lived in exile, abandoned by his subjects, and everyone he ever loved.
He feelt betrayed. Maybe he was endangered, or vulnerable. Often enemies chased him, dark silhouettes, without faces. They chased him in real life and in his dreams.

He feels watched, constantly.

Who knows what happened? His past remains mysterious. It always will be...

In this life, the stars remain dark. You are not where you should be, this is the dominant feeling.

So much talent, a gifted life - and not one single living soul wants to notice. The world has abandoned you, left you alone, without shelter, or even without a place, where noone bothers you.

This is called exile.

It doesn´t matter, if you went away all by yourself, or others excluded you, in an active way.
You´re out! And that is the point.

Now, you could stay hurt and offended (you will be, for years or decades), or get over it.

And getting over it means, that you know, that you will stay outside, and still serve the others in your own gentle and polite way.
Because you don´t mind, you don´t need to be the middle of everything.

The king has to serve his nation, to be a real king.
