The Journey

[mane6]

Well on the mention of it im hungry too. On the way down here I saw a herd of zebra grazing.

[Ruby_Fehu]

"Let's go hunt then." Jade said easily.

[mane6]

Kito showed the way to the herd. Here they are.

[Deleted]

Uschi was already having trouble keeping up. She looked at the zebra and her face went pale. "Uhhh... I might not be able to do much here..."

[Ruby_Fehu]

Jade sighed in dismay. 'Watch at expert.' She muttered.

She lowered her torso to the ground and prowled forward quietly and stealthily she rounded on a particularly large one. Swiftly she raced forward and dived on her. Bringing the creature to the ground. The remaining herd started scattering but Jade ignored, killing the creature easily.

Uschi wandered up. "I was gonna suggest you wait and I can set a trap, but... Er... You were really quick! M... May I have some?" she said, looking up with her big brown eyes.

[Ruby_Fehu]

Jade laughed before nodding. "No need to ask." She replied.

[mane6]

Ha ha ha. DO we need another because that old zebras got lost... Kito hid in the grass ready to unleash her hunting skills.

[Deleted]

"I wouldn't mind another," Uschi said, before tearing into the zebra's stomach. She avoided all the best organs as she didn't feel it was right to eat them, but downed a lot of the rest on her first go. Settling onto her stomach, she raised her head and said, "Mmm... It feels so good to eat again," then licked her bloody nose and poked her head inside the zebra again.

[mane6]

Kito snuck up behind the oldest zebra and before it could panic kito brought it down and bit its neck. The zebra stopped breathing. Kito then dragged the zebra back to the others.

[Lionel]

"Kids... Someone is hunting in our lands. Stay behind me." Wingu said to two small cubs, a boy and a girl, who both were looking a bit scared.
Wingu started to crawl, but then he saw a familiar face.
"Who's hunting in My LAND?" He roared and asked to the lions. Then he walked down to them and looked at them.
"Uschi? Is that you?"Wingu asked to the lion he knew, while his cubs ran to him.


The little cubs, named Zuri and Noto came closer to the other cubs.They wanted to meet them, but were afraid. They were younger than anyone of the pride cubs.

[Ruby_Fehu]

Luna let out a terrified cry and hid behind Jade. Jade growled a little, protective of Luna.

[mane6]

Kito turned around dropping the zebra and running to the others.
Who are you?

[Deleted]

"Y... yes, it's me," Uschi said, lowering her head. "I'm sorry... I checked for scent marks back where I was setting my traps but couldn't smell any and... well I suppose we moved and didn't check... we're sorry," she said, keeping her head lowered but trying not to show just how afraid she was.

[mane6]

"Its ok Uschi its just what this lions does with us don't be scared because if anything happens you've got me and luna and jade. Well i think anyway.

[Deleted]

Uschi whispered, "It's what he can do that worries me. I've seen him kill a full-grown lion. What chance do we have?" At least her anyway. She wasn't exactly built to fight, and having eaten so much zebra meant she was even heavier than normal.
She looked back up at Wingu. Why was he just standing there?

[Lionel]

"I'm so glad to see you! It's so boring here!" Wingu laughed and smiled.
" now, would you introduce your friends?"

[Deleted]

Some of the tension fled Uschi's joints, and she let out a sigh. "Erm... this is Luna... the little one's Jade, and this one is Kito. She's a very good hunter. So is Luna, actually." She hoped she didn't sound as stupid as she felt.
"Does... does this mean you're not going to run us out?"

[Lionel]

"No, no. I don't do such things to friends..." Wingu said and intoduced his cubs to everyone.
"This is Noto," He pushed the little cub, who looked just like him, only he was darker;"And this is Zuri. Oh and I"m Wingu, for those who don't know. Folow me to a resting spot, if you want to."

[Deleted]

"Hello Noto and Zuri," she said, nodding to each and putting on a brave smile. When Wingu invited them back, Uschi looked to her companions to gauge their enthusiasm, and then shrugged her heavy shoulders. It was true Wingu had killed before, but he seemed rather friendly now, and... there was something very inviting about his smile. So Uschi smiled back and said, "I'd love to come with you, if the others do... but do you mind if we finish our meal first? I haven't had zebra in so long. They don't usually get stuck in my traps."

[Lionel]

"Sure. You remember the way, right? Down the hill and in front the cave." Wingu said, and turned away, while his cubs looked at everyone. Then they folowed their dad.
"Daddy? Can we play with them? You are always so busy..." Said Noto, while zuri was hiding in Wingu's shadow. It was too hot for her.
"If they will agree."

[Deleted]

Uschi didn't expect Wingu to walk off like that. She didn't know why Wingu expected her to know the way. She'd never been here in her life! Nevertheless she made note of which way Wingu went and set to eating her fill of zebra with her friends. Uschi had a very big appetite though. No lion or lioness could eat as much as her. By the time she was done she'd all but picked the zebra carcasses clean, and her already fat stomach had grown visibly larger.
"I hope you got enough to eat," she said to Keto. Then, with a groan, she shuffled her legs below herself and tried to push herself up. But her stomach was so full of meat, and so wide, she just couldn't bring her legs under herself to push up properly. "I'm sorry Keto," she said. "Would you mind helping me?"

[Ruby_Fehu]

'I'm Jade and this is my younger sister Luna.' Jade corrected politely, a hint of amusement in her voice.

[mane6]

Okay I will help you up, just don't eat so much next time usichi! *kito helped usichi up* well then what should we do now?

[mane6]

Well. We could take care of the cubs, luna would have someone to play with.

[Ruby_Fehu]

"I'll go with Wingu, get Luna out of the way." Jade said.

[Deleted]

Uschi made her way very slowly to Wingu's cave. Between gasps of air she said, "Wow... What a lovely place... Erm... So where's your beautiful wife?"

[Lionel]

"I'm glad that you like it. And she's... She went for a walk, because she's been in the cave for a while. C'mon, you can rest in here, where it's colder, or under the trees, in the shade." Wingu said to the grownups, while Zuri and Noto went to the younger lions.
"Would you want to play with us? Daddy's busy and the others have lessons..." Started Noto, but then Zuri pushed him and continued in his place:"And we have noone to play with, exept each other!"
Then Noto pushed his sister and they started fighting, untill Wingu made them stop by seperating them, while laughing.
"Ah, you little rascals...Go on, play nicely to our guests."

[Deleted]

"I would very much like to meet her," Uschi said, settling down in a cool dry place with a sigh, and laughing as she watched the children play. "When will she be back?"

[mane6]

*kito watched the 2 cubs tussle and laughed* I hope one day I could have cubs of my own.. so wingu? Whats it like having cubs around?
