Yes he knows. Does Mwiba know about me? "Well if he knew, why didn't his daughter?" he asked rhetorically, still expecting an answer, "No my father doesn't know about you, neither did any of us until a few moments ago." he paused gathering up courage, "Kadoo, Do you mind if I call you sister? I just don't like saying Half Sister"

"I don't mind, I actualy like saying I have a brother." Kadoo slinked over a rock.
"So what do you think awaits us in the Amani lands brother?" Kadoo walked through the tall grass.

"I don't know sister, I just don't Know, I only know where to go because of friends long gone by" he said, uncharicteristically crying at what he has just said, the weight on his back, feeling more like a burden than anything else.

"Well it looks like we'll find out soon enough." She saw the Amani pride in the distance.
"I can see the pride." She squinted.

Nabu was still crying, the memories of the past had overwhelmed him, but his sister had said she could see the pride of Amani, "Kadoo" he said his voice croaky and upset "Can you tell the guards to stop please"

"Shure. Men, umm, stop, please." She didn't know what she was doing.
"What is it?" She looked at Nabu.

"Really? He was that much like me? Well, I hold nothing against him." A.J looked up and saw that Kadoo and Nabu were still ahead. "Hey! Nabu! Kadoo! Are you finished now!? I want to ask something!"

What is it? Nabu stopped crying, but still was upset, "Kadoo, Sister it's a story that only a few people know..."
Hey! Nabu! Kadoo! Are you finished now!? I want to ask something! AJ shouted from behind them, "V, AJ, please, just a short time longer" he shouted back, trying to sound strong, but the croakiness of his voice remained
"Its a story about our family, A story about Your Brother" he said to kadoo quietly, waiting for a reply from kadoo.

Shari grew bored with the lion's indecisiveness, it was no fun at all. Fear was amusing as long as the victim did something with it, this creature did nothing but wait for advice from his superior. He decided to take the initiative once again.
"Are you going to talk or do I just have to eat you?"

(sorry for the late post. Halo reach is so addictive!)
"Alright Nabu! Just tell me when your done!" A.J knew something was wrong with Nabu, he wasn't his usual, strong self. He turned to V again. "Something's wrong V, i can tell from Nabu's voice, i just don't know what."

"Are you going to talk or do I just have to eat you?" the snak asked the guard "errr, I think I'll talk" The lion said nervously, "errr, who are you?" he asked, first mission nerves showing through.

A.J yawned and stretched realising how tired he was and how long he had been travelling for. "Oh man, I'm exhausted, I really need some rest. Or I'll probably go mad, and that wouldn't be good." he said sarcastically

"I see your point. Hey maybe I could try to read there lips." V said to A.J. --- "Go ahead. Just make shure not to shock me to much." Kadoo said

Go ahead. Just make shure not to shock me to much. "Im sorry, this is going to be hard for both of us." he said turning his back on AJ and V "I was young, exploring the lands, bordering the Amani lands, Thats where I met Naki and our brother, althogh at the time I did t know either of them." he sighed "My father arranged for myself and Naki to see each other, but attacked the other cub, as he had no scent from our or the Amani lands, It took a while, but both mother and your father started mourning a loss" Nabu lay down "It didn't take long for my father to notice this, and he stared asking questions, that's where the rift between them formed and..." he stopped , crying again "Im sorry" he said, laying his head on his paws.

A.J yawned once again. "Man...V, do whatever you want, I'm just going to lie down and get some sleep, even if it is only for a small while." he said, struggling to keep his eyes open as he flopped to the ground on his side and quickly shut his eyes to go to sleep.

"Ahh, he turned away." V walked quietly away from A.J.
"I guess I'll 'scout ahead'. " He thought. --- "Oh, wow." Kadoo rubbed Nabu head.
"I wish there was something I could do." She sat next to him. --- V 'ran' forward (I say forward but it was more like one of these) ) past Kadoo and Nabu. "I guess I'll head into Amani lands alone." V smiled.
"finally a moment of silence. I'm tired, I'm angry, I'm... Confused. Whatever I did to deserve this, I must say, I commend you on your torture skills." V growled.

A.J opened his eyes slightly and saw V run past Kadoo and Nabu. "What on earth is he doing now? Oh well, I suppose I'll find out later." he whispered to himself, smiling, his speech slurred slightly due to tiredness. He closed his eyes again and finally fell asleep a smile still etched on his face.

I wish there was something I could do "That's why I'm hear now, I have a promise to furfill" he said "Ive never told anyone this, but me and Naki were like brothers, I the Prince, and he my pet assassin! Phh, but how times change, when AJ disapeared Naki stepped up, becoming an assassing and Learder was stressful, but he forced us both to make a promise, to protect our people, If we were ever outnumbered, by enemy forces, one would kill the other, it was our promise and our friendship that forced me to kill Naki, and it's tearing me apart." he spoke quietly, a tear leaving his eye "To Be? Or, Not To Be? That Is The Question." Nabu said softly, expecting an angry response from Kadoo, he braced himself.

"I don't quite know what to say. I don't understand your relationship with Naki, so who am I to judge." Kadoo laid down next to him.
"Sometimes I wish I could go somewhere far away, where I would never have to worry about all the war, and politics." She closed her eyes, and lifted her head. --- V came closer, and closer to the Amani pride. "Time for some recon." V walked over behind a boulder.
"Strange... The guards are unusually... Trained." He snick past the guards, it was hard with his limp. He looked up to the place that looked like the kings home.
"D@$#!" V looked at the village elders, Mwiba was standing among them. He tried to sneak away. He was 'mostly' successful. V tried his best to sprint away, making his way to A.J., Nabu, and Kadoo.

"Me and you both sister" he said softly "Do you mind if I?" he said leaning into her.

"Do you mind if I?" Kadoo didn't know what to say, not that it mattered, because a second latter V came 'running'. --- "Hey! Hey! A.J., Nabu, Kadoo!" V was tired.
"A.J. wake up!" He flicked a rock at him. --- "What? What?" Kadoo asked. --- V was breathing heavily "Mwiba.. is.. in the.. Amani.. He's.. leading.. an army.." V was gasping for air.

A.J just flicked his ear and ignored the rock that was kicked at him. Eventually though, he forced his eyes to open and stood up and stumbled over towards V, Nabu and Kadoo. "Wh-what did-did you just say?" his words coming out very wierdly because of his tiredness.

"Mwiba.. Amani.. army." V's words slipped. --- "What! An army!" Kadoo said.

Post by thegunner18 on May 10, 2010 6:21:27 GMT
A.J quickly became alert again. "Army! How big is it? We're in no state to fight! What do you suggest we do?"

"About.. what.. we have.. times.. five.." V was breathing deeply.

"Errr, I think I'll talk," The lion began nervously, and then continued: "Errr, who are you?"
"Why, I am but a humble snake of course," Shari began, that uncanny grin still plastered on his reptilian face, "Just wandered here, visiting an old friend, that Mwiba figure."
Enough information had been spilled for now, time to turn the tables.
"But now I've answered your question, it is my turn: who are you?"
He was enjoying this, so much that he was beginning to doubt whether he should eat this poor sap or not. It had been a while since he manipulated someone into obeying his commands, perhaps this was a time to check if his skills hadn't grown rusty. And if they had, well, then he wouldn't grow hungry for another few months.

(( The lions - Lisimba (lee-SEEM-bah) Meaning: lion ))
"Err, I'mm Lisimba" he said again hesitantly, "What are you doing here?"
---
Nabu, taking in what was said, shut his eyes, and started to meditate, his breathing becoming shallow, the weight on his back becoming less of a burden

"I can't let Mwiba just take the lands that are my home!! I have to do something!" A.J turned so he could see Kadoo, V and Nabu. "If there are any older lionesses who remember me, i could stand a chance, however i don't know whether they do. So it may not work, but it's a risk worth taking i think."

"I wouldn't.. suggest it.., but the.. village.. elders.. might.. remember you.." V got a deep breath and calmed down. --- Kadoo moved over to A.J. "Oh no, you are not going over there!" Kadoo stood in front of him.
"We are in no shape to fight if it goes wrong; I say No!" She poked his nose.

A.J sighed and looked up at Kadoo and V. "I respect your opinions, and yes, I know we couldn't cope if it went wrong, but what is life worth living for if there are no risks to be taken. It would be very boring, that's what." he nuzzled Kadoo. "Look, I know you don't want anyone to get hurt, but there is no other way. Or at least, none I can think of, I'm sorry. I truly am, but I have to save my lands from Mwiba. I am the Amani lands king anyway, what else am I to do but stop Mwiba? I have my responsibilities."
