Leo 

The lion smiled just before he turned to walk away. What was that about? An inside joke? A pleasant memory? Perhaps he is just happy to be king. Even better yet to be immortal in the sky.

Leo is one of the constellations of the zodiac. According to myth, the constellation depicts the Nemean Lion who was slain by Hercules as the first of his Twelve Labours.
