OK, fine.
Here's the back tory I promised for Yuna and Sparta. Part one.
Before the Begining there was Lionial the great sprit. and there was Hyen the devourer. One was the incarnation of good, life and creation. The other of evil death and destruction. For eons, Lionial and hyen battled, the balance of power shifting between them more times tha could be counted.
Only by creating the 13, the original lion kings from who nearly all royal blood lines are decended from, was Lionial finnaly able to defeat Hyen, and cast him down into a dark pit from where he is fedd the souls ofthe wicked, who will suffer for all enterity.
Lionial greived as he law the devastation he helped cause, so he gave up his body to heal the land, his mane to heal the water, and his spirit to heal the sky. He gave the new world leadership in the form of the 13, who sired royal bood lines before they too ascended to the sky to form the gates of lional (The two lion constulation seen in simba's pride).
