Nobody's Home [Locked]

[Amani]

Walking beside Mufasa, he answered him.
"Yea I am. It's at Pride Rock. One thing, will I ever see you all again?"

[Lokisenna]

Nuri Hummed excitement, "Thank goodness another lion who understands outlanders." She chuckled and continued to follow beside him, " The strongest Lions are the ones exiled, that's why their out here."

She wandered on some more with hims and listened to him mumbling and making comments, "Kovu? The traitor.." she hissed, " I know him not, but I had met Vitani as the youngest cub, that is me. I have lived in the fallen outlands all my life. Because the lionnesses rejected me for dead." She seemed to glaze over a little before continuing, "And I found Zira after the flood. I heard her last words before she died." She growled, she stayed in this state for a moment before shaking her head and looking embarassed, "I ranted didn't?" She asked aplogetically, and placed a paw to he head, "I hate it when I do that."

She then looked to Wingu in a happier manner, " I'll take to you to the life circle and we'll se what the outlanders can do for us there."

[akira]

Akira hadn't looked as sad as she felt, but there was no need to mope around all night was there? The future was still yet to come. She looked at Kala and spoke, "I may not have them, but I have you right?" She felt secure when in the presence of Kala. Mufasa would take a little time warming up to, but she knew if she spent time with him, she would have no problem getting along with him. From what she saw, he was good.

[Lionel]

"Let's go." A short sentence, all what Wingu said. He'll live in the Outlands. And then Moja will pay for everything.

"She was still alive?" Wingu wasn 't quite sure abou that, but he kept quiet and folowed the lioness.
(sory, donn 't know what to write)

[Lokisenna]

As they walked Nuri listened to the sounds of the new outlands, it hadn't been green most of her life and it was finally growing. The she heard Wingu's question, "Yes...but only just. She died on the flood bank. Being young, I couldn't bury her." She said quietly, remembering, "But the outlanders and rouges have done better since her demize, people still respect her and there are a couple of clans in the outlands that still want revenge." He explained, "Others work together in this half-pride idea, its called the life circle. The center of it, exsists at the only water souce in the outlands, and Lions battle for leadership, mateship, and hunting priveledges there." She continued, looking ahead eagerly.

"Being the season, most will be there to win lionnesses over, Not that I fall to charm." She huffed, "I've got a lot of hunting priveledges too, but I spent a lot of my time as a young cub being a tree hunter, The bugs and birds that did live there were the least dangerous." She chattered.

They carried on the journey for a few more hours until the sun was just above the horizon, she stopped and looked over the dark shadowed place in front of her, almost as if waiting for dawns light to touch it.

When it did, the valley revealed itself to be a crater cover in rocks and a smei dired lake in the center, burnt trees with regrowth scattered to vally and grass could be seen clearing in some places, it was not perfect, but it was liveable now.

"We are here." She announced.

[Lionel]

Wingu folowed wand was listening to her. Wingu knew, he sahould be careful, and he won't be sticking his muzzle in other lions bussines.
"Half - pride? That's new." he mumrmurd.
They walked and walked, until the sun almost rise up in the sky, to light up the Outlands. Wingu looked at the water source. Well, you can have only what you have.

"Who are we going to next?" Wingu asked, trying to keep away from other lions, and sticking close to his guide. He looked around, seeing other lions, looking at him whit suspicion.

[Lokisenna]

"To the arena, they'll show you how to fight there." She annouced, before growlling at another Lionness, who, once noticed Nuri and say it was here, quickly moved out of the way.

They came to the most central part of of the life circle, and made her way around, "See anyone you want to teach you?" She asked in a lower tone to Wingu.

[Lionel]

Wingu looked around and said.
"Well, I know I better stick whit you, but do you see that dark lion? He seems like a good fighter."

[Lokisenna]

Nuri looked over to the suggested Lion, "I believe that's Argal, let's ask him then." She said resoulutely. And slipped over to the Lion. He was dark in colour, donned a brown mane and was sleek but strong in build. His eyes were peircing green.

"Argal. I have a lion who wants to learn your fighting technique." She purred.

"Why, if it isn't the speedy lionness herself." The lion replied joveily, "And my technique?"

"More just Fighting in general.."

"A special occasion perhaps?"

"Revenge."

"Sounds like my type of Lion, well then where is he?"

[Lionel]

Wingu stood besides Nuri. He looked at the lion.
"I am the lion."
Wingu's growing mane was blocking his eyes, so he shaked his head. And then he looked at the lion again.

[Lokisenna]

Argal raised a brow at Wingu, "Not from here are you, Rouge?" He commented carefully, "you will draw attention, come with me." He said and began to move away.

Nuri nodded and followed behind the Lion, "C'mon wingu."

[Lionel]

Wingu folowed the lion, looking around, but trying not to look in anybodies eyes.

[Lokisenna]

They came to a rather dead section of the regrowing land and Argal turned around, "Okay. I want to see how much of a fighter you are already. are you good to fight?" He asked slowly.

Nuri sat on a ledge and watched carefully down at the two lions.

[Lionel]

"Yes." He said and got in defence position. He looked right at Argal.Wingu let his claws out, getting a grip, so he can dodge. And waited.

[Lokisenna]

Argal did one of the most basic fighting moves and ran directly at Wingu, leaping into the air aiming to land on wingu, testing his reflexes.

[Lionel]

Wingu needed only a bit,to react and he dodged,and turned whit his face to Argal.

[Lokisenna]

"Fast." Came the reply to the move and suddenly there was a paw batted hardly into his face, no claws, but it still would have hurt, "recovery time is apalling."

[Lionel]

Wingu ws startled from the paw. next thing you know, he was down on the ground. But the lion didn't wait to recover. He just jumped up and, whit no claws, aimed for Argal. His head was dull. "Strong."

[angelgirl]

Mufasa looked down at him and said,
"Well, I don't really know. I suppose. Apparently, Nuri and Wingu have just abandoned us. Ungrateful buttheads. We tried to be nice to them and look where it got us, nowhere," he growled in frustration.

Kala said,
"Akira, as long as you want to stay with Mufasa and me, you can stay. We'll help you find your parents, wherever they are."

[Amani]

"Yea." Amani replied. The sun was already rising in the sky. Soon he would be home. He would kinda missed Mufasa and them though. Who knows, maybe their paths will cross. He was glad he was almost home. His mother must be worried sick.

[Lokisenna]

(We should have it that Akira's parents were somehow mixed up with Moja. Then we can reunite XD)

Argal skidded backwards as the Lion rammed into him, he huffed as he skidded back and placed his maw around Wingu's neck. Pulling away he shook the younger Lion off and look at him with intrest, "Better revovery time." He answered.

Looking up to Nuri he asked wingu, "Are you too tired to show me your fighting skills against a faster lion?" He asked now looking pointedly at the Lion.

[akira]

(OOC: Well what if Moja and Akira's paths have crossed but Akira's parents had stepped the wrong "paw" in Moja's business and had ordered to have them killed and Akira's father had stayed to give her mother time to run. Her father had died but her mother had ran so far she had gotten lost hundreds of miles away not knowing which way was home. Akira is more of the pridelander kind of girl compared to outlander's. She has never had anything wrong happen with either kinds of lions, she only had opinions to base her own off of. Her personality more suits the pridelands more than anything.)

Akira had watched the sun begin to rise slowly; the first glow of the sun had barely hit the tips of each blade of grass, the water had rippled a little amount from the soft breeze and had reflected the light. The tree leaves blew around and had made a soft brushing noise against each other. She sniffed the air and had smelled nature around her, even the life that had begun to wake. Akira did not get much sleep her first night in the company of other lions, but had finally relaxed enough to take naps. Her tail had swayed in the soft and soothing air and her paws had welcomed the cool grass. The nights had been a lot cooler than days; even the mornings had seemed a ton time's better than the middle of the day, but when did it not?

She looked up at Kala, "I may not see my parents for days, weeks, months, or even years. If it's a longer time than I'm hoping... Will you and Mufasa be able to teach me some techniques I will need to know for growing up successfully? You know, fighting, hunting, stalking, things like that?"

[Lionel]

Wingu was quite tired from the long walk, anyone could see it in his face. But he looked up to Nuri and said:
"I'll try my best. "
He looked at Argal, waiting, what will happen next.

[Lokisenna]

Argal grinned, "I admire your spirit, but I won't put it past you for some rest. Are you sure?" He asked kindly, his narrow face looked kinder despite the scrag his mane was in.

Nuri purred, " He's telling the truth Wingu, if you need to rest do. I had forgotten that your stamina isn't quite to an Outlander, even if you are alone." She meant this sincerely but it came out snide and challenging.

(Go Nuri and her great social skills :/ )

[Lionel]

" Then...Then I better rest. if thats okay." He looked around whit only one question in his face: Where?

[Lokisenna]

"Well then. Follow me!" Nuri said cheerfully, "Thankyou Argal."

The elder lion nodded with a smile, "I hopefully will see you both again." He farewelled and dissappeared behind a rock face.

As they came back to the so-called Half-pride, Nuri walked steadily and confidently through the crowd. Many mumbles of 'Naief' from other lionesses and even a few lions were heard and Nuri seemed to groan, "I'm not THAT good. Sheesh." She said so only Wingu could hear, "I'm only fast."

She came to a smallish cove, far enough away from the large den that the lions resided in at night, "You can stay here. I used to come here when I wanted to be alone again."

[Lionel]

"Thank you, Argal. I will be back fresh as a young zebra in the evening!"
He said and folowed Nuri. He was going in her pawprints. In the Half-pride, he let his head down, and quietly folowed Naief.
"Thanks. See you in the evening..."
wingu found the darkest corner and felt asleep there. He was feeling dull and tired.

[angelgirl]

(OOC: Good idea, but how will we get back together?)

Mufasa said,
"When we get there, I can explain to your mother what happened and I'm sure we'll get through this fine."

Kala answered,
"Yes, we will. In fact, if you'd like, we can have a hunting lesson right now. I used to love those when I was your age. In the beginning, more often than not, I'd fall flat on my face."
She laughed at the memory, letting the sweet sound wash over her.

[Amani]

"Alright, no problem." Amani said. He felt a bit of guilt, he would be in trouble. He worried he won't be able to go out anymore. He'd get through this, he deserved whatever came to him. Memories about what happened went through his mind. The thought of home kept his sprits light.

Soon, he was at Pride Rock. Amani's mother, Kora, rushed out to him when she saw him. "Scout! Thank goodness your ok. You had me so worried." she said to Amani, nuzzling him. "What happened?" she asked Mufasa in a concerned tone.

"I know. I'm sorry." Amani apologized. He didn't want to go that far alone again, even if he could.

[Lokisenna]

(Nuri and Wingu have to go through pridelands to get to Moja's pride, I assume. Also Outlanders have A LOT of information, even about pridelanders. There are lots of ways we could meet back)


Nuri looked back over the crater with a slight dislike, she's just experianced a bad memory and sge was thinking over it.
