Rain Over Fallen Legions

[xiao]

Belle was running happily along side Frost. This pride had been nice enough to take them in. She felt like she was weightless and free to fly. She bounded around and then she heard a strange cry. She had stopped and Forst had almost collided with her. She cocked her head as she looked at the cub and said, "Hi there. What's wrong?" She had a kind look on her face as she sat next to the cub. Her purple eyes shone at the thought of a new friend but she could feel Frost tenseing a little bit.

Frost was running with Belle and he felt happy at how she seemed so happy now. Her fur was shining and for the first time in a while the teenagers were well groomed and were now the prefect healthy weight. She looked beautiful but the moment was shattered as she heard the sound of a lost litte cub. He knew she would try to be friends and help out. He tensed his muscles a bit as Belle was known to be trusting and kind to a fault. Belle could never hate or even dislike anyone. He relaxed as he realized he was just a sad cub and he seemed to be alone. If he had no parents Frost could relate. His blue eyes were now looking at the cub's kindly.

[Nakisisa]

Still saddened by hiss losses, Naki walked away from the place he held sacred, his body still exhausted and the scar's he carried paining him he walked in the opposite direction from the battlefronts, walking deeper into the land along the invisible border that divided the lands, walking towards a small group of young cats As he walked pass them he said "Forgive me my comrades, I don't have the strength to see you today, Forgive me" he would have continued walking until he heard
Mama! Papa! Where are you?
"Sounds like a cub" he said sadly, "I shall go assist them" he said walking towards the sound, as he arrived a lioness and lion arrived, both of them tried to comfort the cub, "Hello there" he said walking up calmly, him strength showing him more fierce than he was, "are you all alright?" he asked.

[kyto7878]

Kyto looked at both the lioness and two males, as his face was pale. he said quietly. almost in a whisper. You could hear the sadness in his voice as the river of tears flowed down his face. "I cant find my mama or papa. T..th...they said they would be back by morning. something about important buisness. A...a..and their not here. My mama usually leaves breakfest infront of me for when i wake up and there wasnt anything." Kyto's ears layed flat as he looked at both the lioness and the two males. Kyto's eyes were torn though and seaping with tears.

[xiao]

Belle felt for this cub. She scouted closer to him and said, "It's ok to cry I know how you feel. My mom and dad were crushed in front of my eyes. Don't worry little one! It will be ok!" She said as she attempted to comfort him. "Hi." She said as she looked at the other lion. She trusted him but she could feel Frost tensing a bit. Oh no. She thought.

Frost watched Belle try to help the cub out. He offered support by giving the cub a kind look but he was not a people lion. He saw the other lion and said, "Hi." But this lion seemed fierce. He protectively scouted closer to her. His muscles were tensed as he would protect Belle no matter what because they had always had each other. He didn't know if this lion was trying to be fierce looking but Frost relaxed but still watched him closely out of the corner of his eye.

[kyto7878]

kyto looked at Belle with a face of sadness still stuck on his face. "D...De...Dead?" Kyto began to pour out crying even more. He thought they might have just left for an extra few days. "I thought they were just gone for a few more hours!" His eyes were a running river as the warm clear liquid ran down his face. Kyto covered his face in between his paws as he cried horribly.

[xiao]

Bellle said, "Sweetie I'm just saying anything could have happened. Who knows they could come back any time, but until then we just have to keep moving forward. Your parents could come back but until then just keep moving forward." She said as her tail stump twiched. She wished she could have a tail to wrap around the cub to help comfort him, she kept a distance though that said she was close but yet not smothering the cub.

Frost watched Belle with his blue eyes as she was omforting the cub. I'm so glad I found her. He thought as he remembered finding her trapped under a log. One had fallen on him and pinned him by his tail as he had tried to help her. They had to cut each others tails off to live. Poor guy while I had Belle he has no one. Frost thought as he looked at the cub with kind and with caring in his eyes.

[kyto7878]

Kyto wiped away his tears as he looked at Belle "You really mean that?" Kyto's sniffled as he dried up his face. Kyto's ears began to perk back up. "My papa left a bit earlier last night. Then my mama said she heard something and she ran off. She didnt even bother giving me my whole meal. And then now their not here" Kyto's eyes began to water up again when he thought about it. He really needed something to get his mind off of this horrible subject. His light pale fur and brown mane drooped down as this subject was popping up again and again in his mind.

[Nakisisa]

Odion turned and sped off towards another tree, finding a gazell, and taking it down swiftly, he realized he had found a purpose, he dragged the carcus back towards the cub and lion/lioness pair,
"Now I don't know your name little one, but however would you like some food" he said offering te carcus to the young cub "Can I also speak to you" he said directing his voice towards the other lion "In private please. Howeer te lioness may eat with the cub if she whishes, although I will also need to speak to you later" he said directing the comment towards the lioness.

[kyto7878]

Kyto smiled at the stanger and didnt deny that he was hungry "thank you, my name is Kyto, but a lot of people call me Kit." Kyto began digging into the carcus as blood and flesh began filling his mouth. it tasted good.

[xiao]

Belle nodded and her eyes shone as she looked happily at the lion, "My name is Belle and thanks for catching food for Kyoto. Tell me when you are full dear and then I shall eat a bit, but don't you need food?" She said as she cocked her head at the male lion. Forst was now easily relaxed and his tail stump was now still and not beating a rythm on the ground. She sat with Kyoto while Frost locked his eyes with her purple eyes locked on Frost's blue eyes as he moved over to the male.

Frost was happy when the lion had been kind enough to catch food for Kyoto. He had no idea why he needed to talk to him but his rtail had stopped beating the ground. "Ok and my name is Frost." He said as he moved over to walk and talk with the male lion.

[kyto7878]

Kyto smiled as he continued to eat until he was half way done with a gazelle leg. "Belle i'm full. Usually my mama brings me birds or fish. Ive never had an antelope before" Kyto smiled and laughed as Belle mispronounced his name "Its Kyto not Kyoto, Belle. Or you can call me Kit like most of the others do" Kyto smiled at Belle rubbed against her leg purring. He felt comfortable with her while his mama and papa were away'

[Nakisisa]

...but don't you need food?
"Not yet, I need to talk to frost first belle, we'll be back soon" he said as they both walked out of ears shot,
"Now I'm going to ask you a few questions, if you don't answer them I'll kill you Ok?" he asked rhetorically
"Which Pride are You From?"
"Who's Belle?"
"How Do You Know Belle?"
"How Old are You?"
"Who are Your Parents?"

((Just basic questions, he he))

[xiao]

Belle blushed and said, "Sorry Kit. Nice name though." She said and when he purred she smiled and gently rubbed her head against the top of his head. He was just so sweet and nice. It would kill her if his mom and dad were dead. She then looked over and saw Frost with a very angry expression on his face. Oh god no! She thought and her purple eyes looked troubled as she locked with Frost's blue ones.

Frost growled showing his fangs as he said, "You will kill me will you? I have always been strong I warn you and me and Belle make a good fighting force. First of all please don't be so rude and maybe I will answer you. Why would I tell someone I just met about Belle? I have no parents and that is all I will tell you unless you be more polite when you ask. I have no idea where you are from pal but where I'm from you don't say you will kill someone and force them to answer questions." His tail stump was now twiching, "I don't care if you have a sad back story I do too. I will answer you if you answer me and stop being rude." He saw that scared look Belle shot him. He would give this male a peice of his mind if he hurt the cub or Belle.

[Kirsui]

((OOC: time to wait for others now I think. Let the players post who havent replied for a while before carrying on this massively. :3))

[Nakisisa]

(( OK, do you mind if we have two more posts to Finnish off the current session? ))

[kyto7878]

Kyto smiled at Belle "Its alright" Baka continued to purr. He smiled as he looked up to Belle. His Sky Blue eyes peered to Belle as his ears perked up "Do you know why my parents might of left without telling me?"

[Nakisisa]

(( OK, Xiao is going to post then we are waiting ))

Odion had had enough of the young lion, and his cockiness. so he did what he had been trained to do, he turned and pinned him, forgetting about the lioness and the cub. a growl leaving his throat
"Look answer the questions!" now his voice almost at a shout "Or so help me, you will suffer a fate worse than death" e said shouting even louder, his voice incredibly loud, almost at a roar

"How. Old. Are. You?"
"Which Pride. Are You From?"
"Who's Belle?"
"How Do You Know Belle?"
"Who. Are. Your. Parents?"

[xiao]

Frost was angry. He hated this lion with a searing hatred. When the lion pinned him and shouted at him, he went limp like a rag doll then put all his power into breaking free. He manged to barely flop away and he turned to the lion and growled at him. He then roared as loudly as he could and was about to attack but he then turned and saw Belle standing in front of him. She had let out a tortued cry. She looked determined and her cheeks were soaked with tears. "Belle." He said softly as he saw her preventing him form attacking and keeping him safe.

Belle had cried out and sheiked, "No!" She had turned to the cub and said, "Please stay safe." She had flown in the way to stop him. Her purple eyes were filled with tears as she knew Frost was going to get himself killed. "Please don't hurt him." She choked out. "We are only teenagers. We come from the Mashujaa pride. He knows me from when we were kids. We always travel together. We don't have parents!" She had not meant to cry but she thought he was going to kill Frost.

[KanuTGL]

OOC: I just realized I made a mistake in one of my Hagen-posts: Hagen is from Mashujaa, not Lumatha *slaps forehead*

IC: "Oh. I see." was Hagen's simple response to Sheek and Tefnut's explanation of their odd kinship. It was a short reply to such a long story, but it was still obvious that he was interested. The white lion felt quite comfortable only listening to the conversation for the moment and for a second, he felt safe and happy. Maybe with the help of these lions, and the leopardess, he could keep the ghosts at bay and begin putting the war behind him...

Tefnut then very generously offered the remains of their kill to him and the cub and Hagen's ears perked up. "Yes! I... can't remember the last time I ate!" The young lion got on his paws and, surprisingly quick, moved over to the kill and greedily gorged on the meat. "This is delicious." he mumbled between the bites and ate until he couldn't fit any more into his stomach. By then there wasn't much left of the unlucky gazelle. "A big thanks for that." he said and laid down, smiled at Tefnut and felt very content and good in the way that only a full stomach makes you feel. Then he sighed and looked over at the sleeping Sheek and cub. They looked so peaceful where they were, curled up together, and suddenly the sadness came over him again. "If only I could feel this good more often... This war has ruined everything. How do we carry on now? And how do they expect everyone to get along?" Hagen frowned. "Sometimes it feels like a curse to have survived the war..." A pause. "Sorry, I said we should talk about something else than the war, didn't I? Heh, but it's difficult to not talk about it I suppose... I was at the Southern front... It was dreadful..." Then the faces flashed before his eyes again. Torn, shredded, bleeding... Dying! Dead! Hagen winced and tried to shake them off, then groaned and rested his head on the ground, between his paws. "Sorry about that..." he mumbled quietly. "Every day I see them... Those faces... The faces from the battlefield I mean. With my waking eyes, I see them. I wonder if they'll ever leave me alone..."

--------------------------------

"It's settled then," Shyla said warmly. "Shall I gather the lionesses, or do you want to? Unless you prefer not to join us this time on our hunt."

Sumai smiled. "You gather the lionesses and I'll gladly come along for your hunt. As I said, I need some exercise, now that the war is over." He stretched his front legs and shook his mane. "This ought to be fun" he thought "if we find anything to hunt at all."

OOC: Epically short Sumai-post, woo xP

[KanuTGL]

OOC: How long has it been now, 2 weeks?, since this RP was last posted in. For those who were waiting for the pause to lift, I think I can safely say that it is no longer paused. Feel free to carry on as you were :3

[xscar10]

Moyo still lying by Sheek was half asleep when he heard Hagen. "I was at the Southern front... It was dreadful..." Moyo leaped up.

"My dad said that he came through the southern front to get here! We traveled a lot and my dad even had to fight to get here. I think we came right before the war ended." He came up next to Hagen.

"You should have seen him he fought like... like... somthing else that fights good." He said.

"He told me and mom not to help him, even if he got hurt we were supposed to run away." He said before sneezing again.

[Cheikh]

The rain was pouring once more, flooding the once sun baked earth beneath his large feet. The sleek form of Cheikh padded along the invisible Lumatha border for the third time that day, watching for any sign of life. The rain rolled down the long blades of grass and spattered into the rock face along which he was walking. The great black and dark rust brown lion kept up his march however, padding purposefully through the puddles that crossed the path, his deep reddish brown eyes set on his goal, Somewhere safe and dry where he could shelter of only for a while.

He shook, the water flying from his silken black mane in an eruption of droplets that immediately became lost in the deluge. He knotted his brow in a frown as he rumbled to himself. “This rainfall is going to flood the plains of it doesn’t let up soon. Last think I want is to be attempting to patrol borders when the tracks are under water.”

He skulked on until he heard voices up ahead, And carefully he padded over the rocky ground towards an outcrop that looked down upon an unusual scene. What appeared to be a leopardess, a very dishevelled Lion and young cub all conversing over a kill. The large and sleek dark hued lion sat his bulk down silently and watched the scene unfold before him, his tail tip twitching now and then as he listened to what was happening.

As he watched his mind started to wander. Much as he was Lumatha he had not wished to side with either force. It was an issue that had caused him to drift slightly from his own pride but still he performed his duties to them. He didn’t recognise either of the lions or the leopardess and so he guessed that they were either from the Mashujaa or the Isiziba prides.
[[Just warming up and getting into the swing of it all.]]

[tangawanderer1]

Tanga looked up at the sky, observing the dark clouds that hung above. It reminded him of the day when he left the Isiziba tribe. The rain that fell felt comforting to him, for it ment that Tanga was finally home.
"Home," he thought. "But is home still here? What if my tribe has been defeated? What if there are no members left?"
Tanga tried no to think of these things as he approached the former Isiziba border. The rain had slowed to a drizzel, and Tanga crouched low in the grass, just in case there were enemy lions around.
Suddenly, he heard a sound. It was the distant sound of a lion talking.
"He told me and mom not to help him, even if he got hurt we were supposed to run away." It was followed by a sneeze.

Tanga gulped. "Lions!" he thought. "What should I do? If they're from the Isiziba tribe, they'll want me to report to them, but if they're from an enemy tribe, they'll attack me. I guess I'll just go talk to them, but I won't tell them which tribe I'm from.
He crept slowly towards the sound of the lions. Soon, he spotted them.
Unfortunatly, it was not two lions but four. However, one were sleeping. The other three were sitting up and talking.
Tanga hungrily eyed the nearby kill and began drooling.
"Maybe if I'm nice, they'll let me share it," he thought.
Tanga poked his head out of the grass and stared at the three lions.
"Umm...excuse me..." he said.

[Kirsui]

((OOC: I'll just assume Shyla left to gather the lionesses and never returned... or something. xD))


Xoren watched with slight curiosity as Sumai stretched. Shyla had left to gather up the lionesses for a hunt, but she had not returned. The white lioness snorted mentally and gazed around with her dark eyes. For all she knew, Shyla might not return at all.

Deciding they had waited long enough, Xoren turned her dark eyes at Sumai.
"Zhall we head zomewhere and zee if we can find zomething on our own without Zhyla and her lionezzez?"
She paused, waiting for Sumai's reply.

---

Tefnut smiled lightly when Hagen excitedly accepted her offer. She felt slight happiness when such a simple offer made Hagen so happy. He was such a strange creature, clearly seen too much than would have been better during the time of war. However, the liopardess' smile faded when Hagen began to tell her of what troubled him so much.

"I was at the Southern front... It was dreadful... Every day I see them... Those faces... The faces from the battlefield I mean. With my waking eyes, I see them. I wonder if they'll ever leave me alone..."

She was silent for quite a while even after Hagen had finished speaking. His tale.. It brought to her mind the memories from the battlefield. She could hear the echoing roars of victory and pain, and she could almost smell the scent of blood that would haunt her for days even after the war had ended.

She shook her head and attempted to smile. She failed, and only managed to slightly raise the corners of her lips until she gave up and took a blank expression. The cub said something about her father and the Eastern front, but Tefnut was too concentrated on pushing down her memories that threatened to surface.
"I know your pain, Hagen...", she said quietly with darkened eyes.
"I was at the East... It was..."

Tef shook her head, unable to finish what she was saying. She glanced at Sheek, then turned back to Hagen.
"I'm glad my brother was not there... Or at least I think he was not there. I don't remember seeing him in the battle, though I must admit there were too many faces for me to remember."
She paused, and closed her eyes.
"But... I remember the faces of my enemies... I remember when they broke through our lines, I remember the battles I fought right before I was forced to retreat. I remember the joy on their faces..."

She fell silent, not sure how she should have continued, or if she should have continued at all. She sighed and shook her head, trying to push aside every thought of the battlefield.

[This Land]

OCC - Sorry for not posting everyone ><, i thought i sent my character off to sleep so i thought i didnt need to post, but looking through the posts again sheek is infact still awake xD

Sheek still lay there, licking his paw hoping he would not be rude and fall asleep, he had enough of sleepy spells so he stood up and walked around the groupto try and wake himself up.

Sheek heard what Tefnut was saying and he continued from her
"I was up on the northern front, me and a few others got pushed up there, hardly anything happened up there...well compared to the other front. We up there just knew we got placed up there because we were weak in fighting and would just get in the way...."
Sheek sighed
"I dont know what is wrong with me, hunting animals i can do flawlessly..
Sheek turned to tefnut and smiled
"When i have the strenth" he let out a single chuckle
"But when i try to adapt my skills into fighting other lions, my mind just locks up"
Sheek paused...why did he mention all this infront of strangers....he gave himself a mental slap, well nothing he can do now....
"So yes, me and a few others only came in contact with a few, and we got hit hard...injured me enough not to hunt properly and starve"
Sheek turned his head away from embarressment after he only just realised what he had said infont of all these tough warriors, his sleep was most likley getting the better of him.
Sheek shook his head
"Im going for a walk" he said plainly
His slim boney figure slowly walked off as he mutterd under his breath.

[This Land]

Sheek got a New Clear Bong out of thick air and got a Nuclear Bomb

He threw it hard and it blew up the enemy

*Sheek ROFL*

THE END !

[Kirsui]

Tefnut screamed in pain and fury while Sheek was ROFLing, yelling
"SHEEEK! HOW COULD YOU!" D8<

And elsewhere Xoren went insane and sat down, spreading her arms at the sky while screeching something that sounded like "He's coming! Mi Lord, He is COMINNG!"



THE END!! XD

[KanuTGL]

Hagen saw nothing but a great flash of light. He managed to think the thought "The ghosts are coming for me!" before the heat wave of the bomb evaporated him.

Sumai heard the explosion from a distance off and mumbled "Oh, great..." Then became one with the powers his fantasy version possessed.

THE ACTUAL END
