[Light Path] The Lion Of Heaven.

I fell tward a large mountain range in that bubble of Godstuff™ as the bubble fell into the upper atmosphere it became surrounded by millions of dancing orange flames from the superheated surface layer of the planet's outermost shell of ozone, and then something peculiar started to happen, the flames and blazing decent started to, slowly... stop... moving?

"Behold, foolish mortal, I am Ariel, the lion of Heaven." stated a high and squeaky voice, very much in the Feminine register.

I saw a young woman, fine silver hair in a shoulder length bob-cut, flat chested and youthful to the point of appearing to be a late pre-teen, and with blindingly white wings and a halo of yellow flames. "You are the lion of heaven?!?" I blurted-out in shocked amazement.

Ariel looked down at herself and face-palmed. "Argh, I forgot to change back to my lion form!" She growls, and I do have to admit that there was something of a 'lioness' character to her voice just then. "Hang on a second!" She snarled, sounding more leonid by the second, and then, in a roaring bonfire of yellow flames, her halo expanded to engulf and obscure her entire body, then rapidly increased in diameter and shortly thereafter withdrew to its original size. Standing before me was a VERY obviously male lion, if the rail worth of meat hanging under his belly was any indication, that appeared to be made of some bizarre type of gold that reflects the light back stronger than what shined on it to begin with, though still with a blindingly white pair of wings and fiery halo.

"Sorry about that." A distinctly Masculine voice which sounds a lot like you might expect a reagal talking lion to sound said from the lions mouth, though the mouth and lips didn't move quite right, like a poorly dubbed Japanese movie. "I'm Ariel: the Lion of Heaven, what you saw before was a mortal seeming that I sometimes use to appear before cultures that hate and revile lions: and yes, I know all about your world's Disney Princess of the same name, and no, I'm not Aslan." He elaborates further.

"Okay, that answers several of my questions, but there's another one it's done nothing for: what the hell is going on here?!?"
