*Prides Of The Savannah*

[Lorien]

Kiala had continued walking, her head down, deep in her own thoughts. She gave no regard to her surroundings, just walked. The mud squished beneath her paws, making them more dirty than they already were. She passed by the battle site, but didn't lift her head up. If she had, she might have noticed that Legacy's body was not there. If she had, she might have noticed she was soon to cross into Jahina territory. She had taken this into consideration but frankly just didn't care any longer. With Legacy dead, she really didn't feal threatened. And as for Gargoroth, well...let him come. She could use something to relieve her pain upon or put her out of her misery. She couldn't go on living like this, the constant state of fear and war. She wanted in that moment to leave, to leave the two prides forever, but she knew that she couldn't ever do that. They were her family, the only family she had ever really had.

And so, with a heavy head and heavy heart, Kiala passed deeper and deeper into the lands of the Jahina.

[Kirsui]

Tef didn't know what to think. In fact, she didn't want to think at all. It made her only feel worse.
But she couldn't get her thoughts away from what had happened.
"I.. I didn't want..." she muttered between her sobs.
"I... He... He said I was turning into him... That... he didn't want that to happen..."
Her voice had faded into a whisper. She had closed her eyes tightly, sobbing while she wasn't speaking.
"I... I can't..."
Tef couldn't keep going. So she just shut her mouth, the tears still flowing down her cheeks.

---

Katakasha had killed a gazelle. It had been an easy catch for her, and now she was carrying it on her back towards the jungle. She was already on Jahina territory, and she didn't want to go back to the Otana lands and enter the jungle from there.
So, the black lioness walked peacefully, the tree line coming closer to her at every moment.
"See, My Sweet Gazelle" she spoke to the dead gazelle on her back.
"We need to get back into the jungle, you have a meeting with someone."
She chuckled.
"Good one, Kata!" she congratulated herself.
"Meeting with someone! Ha ha ha... So funny..."

Then Kata caught a glimpse of something from her eyecorner. She had almost reached the trees. She stopped and looked, seeing a lioness.
Her eyes narrowed.
"I know that one... Otana..."
A grin came to her face.
"Oh well... I have no time to start playing with her now. My Sweet Gazelle has the meeting..."
Kata shrugged and entered the jungle, heading towards the direction deep inside the Jaina area where the cave - and Legacy - was waiting.

[Deleted]

Kisima nuzzled her aswell, not really understanding the full situation of what was happening. All she knew was that her 'Teffy' was said and she wanted to cheer her up. "It's alright Teffy.." Kis said to her, before moving closer to her, snuggling up next to her paws.

[Fire]

"Tef... Listen to me.." He said to her in a soft voice, laying down beside her and resting a paw ontop of her own. "You are still Tef to me.. Look at you.. You are showing your emotions through crying.. shedding tears of sadness... I never in my life saw Legacy cry like the way you do... He tried to hide his emotions for his fear that he will lose his 'powerful' image..."

He did not do anything else but listen to her cry and held her paw under his own, a little heart-warmed inside that he understood what he just said for himself. Tef truly was showing emotion.. Something that he never saw Legacy do.. And that is just one of the many things that set her apart from Legacy.

[Lorien]

(Sorry this is long. I haven't brought Gargy in for a couple pages, and I've been pretty inactive in this RP. Just making up for it.)

Gargoroth sat in the cave residing in the Jahina lands. He looked around at the other lions lazing around and sharply exhaled. Where was Legacy? He had been waiting here for what seemed to be days, and he hadn't heard from anyone of where his whereabouts could be. With a short growl, he strolled from the cave into the open lands of his new pride. The dark blue lion looked around the area, the mud below him soaking his feet once again. He hadn't had anything to do since he chased that lioness out of the territory, and now he wanted to have a little fun. Maybe with Legacy no where to be seen, he could do just that.

He continued to walk through the savannah, looking around the dark lands as the night sky began to show it's head. He looked up at the clearing sky, glimmers of stars beginning to start the night. He took a deep breath, the chill night air refreshing his lungs and his thoughts. He didn't know how much longer he would stay here. He wanted to bolt, to be free from listening to an elder and free to do what he pleased. It had been somewhat enjoyable, but now the action had stopped. The action was the only reason he had joined in the first place. Continuing on, he spotted something that made him grin. Back for a little more, I see he thought to himself as the figure of the dark grey lioness entered his vision. He chuckled a bit underneath his breath as he slowly made his way toward her. She had caused him so much greif he wanted to mess around with her and perhaps even be done with her once and for all. Yes...that would be good. Then he would never have to deal with her ever again.

Kiala knew she was deep in the lands of Jahina, but as she had decided earlier, she didn't care anymore. She was thinking about Mino and what he had meant to her in the short time she had known him. She was thinking of Fire and of Tef. The little cub even crossed her mind as well. It seemed like everything was dancing around her mind as a fly dances around a dead animal. Perhaps this is why she didn't notice when the midnight lion stepped in her path, just waiting for her to run into him. Perhaps this is why she didn't really care when she did. She looked up at the being in front of her, no emotion in her face. Her eyes actually seemed to be pleading with him, as if she carried a heavy burdon she no longer wanted.

This angered Gargoroth to no end. Why wasn't she terrified as before? Why wasn't she running or trembling. Even attacking him would be pleasing him. But...she didn't seem to do anything, as if he wasn't even there, as if she wasn't even in his lands. The look she was giving him he had never seen before. He took a step back, his eyes a bit wide. He no longer felt the urge to hurt her. He had been begged with before, had pleas made and even promises, but it had never stopped him from having his way. This, though...this was different. For some reason, the way she looked up at him made him rethink what he was doing. It made him think of how he had acted while he was in the pride. It made him think about his thoughts before he joined, even. Hadn't he told himself he didn't want to live like this anymore? That he didn't want to end up like his father? He looked away from her as he took a step back, not sure of what to do. He really didn't know what to do when he saw her eyes fill with tears. Why was she sad?

Kiala couldn't help the tears. Seeing this lion reminded her of the war and of the recent fatalities. Without thinking about what she was doing, she quickly went to him, her eyes closed as tears streamed down her face. She placed her head near his chest as she reclined to sit. Sobs escaped her and her mind was racing once more. She didn't care if he attacked her, or what he did. She just wanted some comfort, something she had never gotten in her life. No one had ever comforted her when her pride was murdered, along with her mother, right in front of her eyes. She had held this pain in for too long, and it was ironic that she was looking for comfort in the heir to the pride that had caused her pain. It was odd that she was being close with a lion of the pride who took away her confidence as well as her words.

Gargoroth's eyes went wide as she huddled against him, her tears flowing fluidly. He didn't know what to do, but he seemed to be back in his old senses again. The thoughts his father had tried so hard to implant in his brain had vanished for the time being. It's as if a cloud had been taken from before his eyes and he could see the light of day again. Akwardly, he rested a paw on her shoulder, trying to give her some comfort. "What are you doing here, Kiala?" He looked around to make sure that no other members were watching. He would probably be killed for doing such things. "What happened?"

Kiala looked up at him, her eyes red with tears and sniffles comming from her nose. She didn't know herself why she was looking to him, her enemy, for comfort, but she was. "I..." She didn't know what to say. She couldn't believe that he hadn't attacked her yet, but looking into his eyes, they looked different. They were no longer menacing and violent, but kind in a way. "They're...they're dead." She looked to the ground, tears falling to the muddied ground below. "Mino..." She sniffled and sobbed lightly. "...and Legacy."

At hearing that, Gargoroth's head shot up. So this was why he hadn't seen him around. He looked back to the cave. The rest of the pride needed to be informed that they no longer had a leader. But he didn't want to just leave her here to her own devices. "Kiala...you can't be here. I'm..." he thought a second, trying to make sense of everything. "I'm not sure what will happen if someone finds you here." He realised that this probably sounded strange coming from him, the lion who had tried to kill her on more than one accounts. "I-I'm not going to hurt you." He shook his head slightly. "I'm done with hurting." Angrily, he stamped his foot in the mud, thinking of the thoughts that he had allowed to seep into his brain. No longer though. With Legacy dead, he no longer had a driving force for his violent ways. "I'm sorry for what I've done to you, but I don't want to see you killed here. Get out of these lands before you get hurt." His voice was stern, trying to get his point across.

Kiala looked up at him again, her eyes full of grief. She looked away and nodded. Turning toward the lands of Otana, she started to slowly walk agian. She then turned toward him agian, and smiled despite her tears. "Thank you...Gargoroth." She felt as though she could trust his words. "I...I'm tired of this war. I want it..to end." With that, she turned quickly back and bolted toward her own lands, back to the sorrow stricken Otana pride. She didn't know what she was going to do, but Gargoroth was right. This wasn't the place for her to be.

Gargoroth watched her go as a sigh escaped him. What was going to happen now?

(that was a lot longer than I had planned o.O)

[Kirsui]

((OOC: Cool post Mighty! ))


Tef sobbed. Fire was trying to comfort her, she knew it. But still, all that talk about Legacy made her think of him even more, and every memory of him flied through her mind.
Tef lifted her head and looked Fire in the eyes. For a moment she didn't say a word.
"He had emotions..." she muttered, feeling how more tears were coming to her eyes.
"You might think he did not have a heart... But he did. I-I've seen him laugh, play, smile..."
Tef couldn't keep going. She buried her face to Fire's mane and coninued sobbing. She thought of that play fight she had had with her father back at her mom's clearing not too long ago.

---

Katakasha looked around. She saw familiar trees around, familiar stones... She was near now, almost there...
She stepped through some bushes and came to the small clearing. She had a smirk on her face as she crossed the small stream and placed the gazelle down near the entrance of the cave.
"There... Go ahead" she said, turning then and going again through the stream and lying down under the tree, the same tree whose shadow she had been resting before. Her purple eyes focused on Legacy, thinking of what he would do if she told him about her daughter's condition.

[Cova]

She stopped drinking, her orange eyes watching her own reflection The ripples of the water distorting her face as the darkened sky above only made her reflection clearer. her coat was mud stained through and through. Cova noticed she had not looked after herself for the past few days. Quite ironic she thought..she had left these lands because of the conflict..then she had cared of only herself.
But never-the-less her path had lead her back. What was it about the Jahina that she had missed...she didnt know..Cova growled and swiped at the reflection of herself in the stream now snarling, sick at the thought of what she would face upon her return.
As the water slowly calmed back down and her reflection appeared again she sighed, but now the water was more disturbed. Ripples were coming from elsewhere, she slowly raised her view to her right to see a Lioness stalk her way through to the other side of the stream.
Cova did not recognize her..and made little attempts to move to hide..she stood and watched silently.

[Katari]

Uvumi had never entered these lands before, but a strange sense of familiarity was evident to her from the moment she'd set foot in them. "Deja vu," she muttered. To herself, since she hadn't seen anyone else for a good while. She had heard tell of a war between two prides here. Having lived a loner's life, Uvumi planned to try and join one of them. She certainly was not shy when it came to conflicts, and a number of fights had ended with her walking away. But she did not glory in violence, and there were certainly other ways to end disagreements.

She saw a small, winding stream ahead, the water in contrast with the varying green shades of the grasslands. And beyond it, to her surprise -- though why should she be surprised? --, a golden-coated lioness, just watching her quietly. She wondered why the stranger hadn't spoken before. Perhaps she was a native of these lands, and could help Uvumi settle into a pride. Or perhaps she was an enemy? "Who are you?" Uvumi asked, not making any threatening moves, but not settled into a comfortable position, either.


(OOC: Yay, I get to join a new RP!)

[Lorien]

(Ooc: I think that Cova was talking about Kiala, but I'm not sure. I'll play it off like she was though.)

As Kiala walked to the stream that ran between the prides' lands, she suddenly stoped as she saw that there was another lioness there. She didn't recognize her, however, and wondered if she was from Jahina or just a wanderer passing through. Seeing another lioness come up behind the first, she decided not to think too much about it and get back to her own lands. If they were Jahina, they probably could kill her easily.

Running, the pain in her side from her broken rib throbbing, she finally crossed through the border lands and back into Otana territory. She looked around, but didn't see anybody. She didn't know where anyone was. So, with slight tears still in her eyes, she made her way back to the caves to sit and wait for the rest.

(OOC: Where's Akida, by the way?)

[Pulsar]

"Why are you helping me Kata..."
Legacy finally spoke from his silence, but as he did, he never raised his head to look at Kata. It remained hung low, to the point where his mane just cover the top half of his face, allowing one only to see his mouth move.
It wasn't that he wasn't greatful, she essentially could have been saving his life, but this action brought on many questions. Like what was it she was expecting to gain by helping him?
He dragged himself over to the gazelle and glanced at it, before looking at her through his mane, then he began eating it, if you could call the slow speed he was going at as eating...

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

Off a distance from where everyone was, a lone figure stood on top a cliff, surveying the land. His yellow eyed gaze narrowing in on what was the Otana cave, then as he turned his head, he focused on the Jahina cave, a fair bit off towards the horizon.
"This must be the place...."
He said in a low voice as he started making his way down a path which lead down the cliff face. As he reached the bottom he looked up into the sky as darkness was setting in.
"Huh, makes my job that much easier..."
He said with a grin as if thanking the darkness for hiding him. Slowly he strode his way towards the Otana cave, but once he realized that there were lions there he stopped.
<This is the place alright...>
He thought as he looked around for somewhere where he could survey things close up but with cover. Which was when he noticed the nearby jungle.
"Could this day get any easier..."
Crouching down slightly he began making his way towards the jungle... So far, his presence was unknown, a fatal fact that would aid him...

[Lorien]

Kiala slowed down to a walk once she saw the cave in sight. She looked up at the sky, some of the clouds parting to make way for the stars and moon. Looking back, however, she saw something she didn't recognize. Through the darkness, she saw something yellow glimmering in the light of the moon. She didn't really want to investigate, but seeing as it could mean danger to her pride, she decided this was the best thing to do.

Slowly she made her way toward it, her own dark grey coat allowing her slight cover. When she got closer, she saw that it was a large male lion. She instinctively took a step back, but remembered why she was doing this. Noting it, she stood tall, or at least as tall as she could, and said in as stern a voice as possible with her soft voice, "Who are you, and what are you doing on Otana lands?" She felt a sense of confidence run through her, and she felt like she actually sounded strict. However, her voice just sounded laughable to any other ears. She wasn't the leader type physically or mentally, and it was evident.

[Kirsui]

Kata didn't reply at first. She just kept staring at Legacy, her expression blank this time.
"Why am I helping you..." she finally spoke.
"Because, as you mentioned earlier... We resemble eachother. Too much, actually. I had thought I was the only one, but I definitely was wrong."
She chuckled slightly, taking a bit more comfortable position under the tree before she would continue talking.
"There is something you need to know about me, Legacy" she said.
"It doesn't matter to me if you say that you don't care what I am about to tell, I will say it anyway."

She streched her frontlegs a bit, her claws were out momentarily.
"You see... I was not always like I am today, a cold hearted killer, as someone once said. I was more like your daughter is, a kind being who hated to see anyone get killed and so on."
She paused momentarily, wondering why she was telling all this to him. She shrugged and continued.

"My pride was a warrior pride, everyone there was teached to have fighting skills. We did not accept newcomers easily, they had to pass a test before they were taken in. My pride used to help those in danger and such... The usual stuff."
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
"Once, we got ambushed. It's a long story, too long to be told to you at this moment, too long to even interest you, I think... However, in that ambush, my whole pride got killed. First the females and cubs, then the males. I saw my own mother get killed in front of me. And yet, I was let alive... To tell the story..."

She smirked slightly, clearly falling into her memories.
"It was their big mistake. I hunted them down, and revenged for my pride. And how sweet that revenge was... So sweet that I wanted more."
Kata took a deep breath, letting the air out slowly.
"I joined several prides, killed a lion here and there and left if they started suspecting me. I found it fascinating, to watch how life faded from their eyes. And then... I ran to a slightly different pride. First I did not realize it, but then..."
She closed her eyes momentarily. When she opened them again, she looked at Legacy.
"This pride... It was the former family of Fire and Akida, who now belong to the Otana. Someone in their pride found out I was the reason why lions kept dieing. I was ambushed, which leaded to a battle where they all got killed. Except for Fire and Akida..."

She paused momentarily.
"So if you still wonder why I am here, it is because Fire and Akida. When I start to do something, I will finish it."
Kata took another deep breath, making up her mind of what she was about to do next.
"It would be a great honour to join your pride, Legacy..." she said, having a serious tone of voice with a slight hint of respect in it.
Kata watched and waited, saying no more.

[Pulsar]

By the time Kata had finished talking, so too had Legacy stopped eating. Her story, was interesting, despite what she had thought. She certainly wasn't wrong when she said they had things in common. He slowly stood up, the food giving him a small percentage of his energy back.
"Why should I trust you Kata?...."
He said at first as he walked out from the cave and stood in front of her, his stance showing clearly that his legs were barely able to hold his body up.
"You are like me, and knowing myself makes it difficult to trust you... Though your help would aid the pride to great extents..."
He paused and lifted his head so his full face could be seen, and on it was a look of uncertainty. One eyebrow was raised as he glanced at the lioness.
"... How can I be sure you wont just become a problem to my pride when you have finished with those two... You already tried to hurt my daughter..."
He noted at the end before walking over to a tree and sitting down at it, leaning against it for support.
There were far many more questions on his mind, but the ones closest to the matter at hand would come first.

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

When Kiala called out to the lion he froze.
<Ugh, good work idiot, what happened to stealth?>
The lion seen that his mane was flashing in the moonlight. Letting out a sigh he stood up and turned to face the lioness. With his back to the moon it made his face deep in shadow, but that didn't make his eyes any harder to see.
"I'm a traveler... just... passing through in search of... an old relative..."
He said with deliberate pauses in his voice.
"I wasn't aware this land belonged to a pride..."
he continued as he took a step toward her.
"My apologies m'lady, I'll make post haste out of here immediately..."
he said before turning and walking towards the forest, but he halted just as soon as he had started walking.
"Do tell..."
He started speaking as he turned his head curiously and looked at the Lioness.
"Are you from one of the prides called Otana, or Jahina, or possibly have heard of either?"
Now was a nice change to re secure his previous thoughts about the area being the right one and this lioness could provide the answers, hopefully she wont cause any trouble with him.
He turned and took a few steps towards her so neither would have to speak out load to hear the other.
As he did, the moon fully light him up, his black and white fur were now clearly visible and his mane shimmered and swayed in the breeze which went by.

[Lorien]

The confidence that had passed through her ceased when he turned around, his face in the shadows. She took a step back as she listened to him speak, her body trembling in the slightest. If we was a wanderer, she had nothing to worry about, or so she thought.

She was surprised that he had heard of the two prides, but was sort of relieved. This meant that he was not a Jahina member, but still knew of the conflict. "I am...a member of Otana." She sat down, a curious look on her face. "How do you know of the two prides?"

[Kirsui]

Kata smiled faintly. She had expected this.
"Yes, there is no reason for you to trust me... Not after what I have done around here, or by what you heard from me just a moment ago."
She paused momentarily, thinking of a way to continue.
"Everyone thinks you got killed in that fight with Mino" she said, looking at the stream flowing through the clearing.
"Yes, even your daughter believes so... Good or bad, I do not know."

She turned to look at Legacy.
"Before you ask, it was I who told you died to her. I had to, it was to get the Otanas out of tracking you down. I brought you here because someone from Otana would eventually have found you, unconscious or not, it wouldn't have mattered. They would have known you were alive and weak, what an easy chanse to get rid of you. Now, when they all think you are dead, you can recover fully before going back. And making Tefnut believe so too will make them believe in it more."
She sighed slightly, looking again at the stream.
"I could have left you there, back at the savannah. But I didn't, because it would have been like leaving part of myself there."

[Pulsar]

He scratched his neck awkwardly.
"Well, it seems one of my brothers ran off, and last we heard he was fighting in some war with two prides know as the Otana and the Jahina..."
He put his paw back on the ground.
"I'm trying to find him... for, reasons i don't think you need to know..."
His voice was a very calm and friendly one, but anyone with common sense could tell there was something behind it.
"His nam-..."
He paused briefly. He nearly slipped his brothers name out, which could have been a bad thing if he was an enemy of this lioness. But his mistake had messed him up, he needed to think quickly.
"You know, what, it's ok, I think I'll just walk around a bit, maybe I'll find him..."
He said as he turned around and started walking away.
"Was a please to meet you, you have a good night now..."
He said before turning his head forward as an aggressive look appeared on his face. So much for things being simple.

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

Legacy wasn't sure what to say to Kata, he was angry that she had told Tef... But it probably was for the best. But it posed the problem of what he would do and what she would think when she found out he was alive.
"An equally smart and idiotic move Kata, I have to say, though it has hidden me from my enemies, it has created a small problem when concerning my daughter..."
He sighed before standing up and walking close to Kata.
"Very well, you may join the Jahina Pride...."
As he spoke he looked at her back which she still had turned.
"Don't make me regret trusting you Kata..."

[Lorien]

Kiala watched as the large male walked away. She didn't know what to think of what he had said, but he seemed a curious character. She would have to tell Fire about him. But where was he? She didn't feel like searching for him in the night, however, so she decided to wait at the cave. Someone would come back eventually.

[Kirsui]

Kata didn't reply at first. She felt kind of reliefed that Legacy actually had accepted her to the Jahina. Now, all she needed to do was to do as he said. She didn't like that, but on the other hand, she herself had suggested joining to the Jahina.
So if she wanted to complain, she would complain to herself.
"I will not make you regret..." she said on a rather quiet tone of voice, turning her eyes to Legacy again.
"Would you want to know what is happening around?" she asked, lifting an eyebrow.
"I could go scouting... And no one would even know I'm part of Jahina..."

[Pulsar]

Legacy nodded.
"Yes, it would be of some help to me, scout the area and bring back what you can find on where the Otana are and such..."
Legacy stumbled back a bit before turning to the cave.
"I shall be resting here, return when you have found out what you can...."
He said before walking into the cave and literally collapsing onto the ground with a thump.

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

The lion glanced back to see the lioness walking away.
<Ok, let's check out this jungle>
He thought as he made his way to the jungle's edge. Looking around, he didn't see any sign of other lions or lioness or anything else for that matter.
"This place stretches a bit, it'll prove a nice spot to view the area from..."
He spoke as if talking to someone, though he was just thinking out loud.

[Kirsui]

Kata stood up, not saying anything else to Legacy. She streched a little before stepping through some bushes and starting to walk back towards the edge of the jungle.
"It's no use to go to the Jahina lands..." she muttered.
"So best head straight to the Otana lands. Maybe I should see what Fire and the others are up to..."
She chuckled lightly, turning to walk towards the Otana side of the jungle. She decided to step out from the jungle over there, so she would be covered from sight longer.

[Cova]

(heh it was actually about Katakasha, but no matter didnt make it that clear i guess )

Cova had caught sight of The Lioness that passed her view..and she knew that the same one had see her to, her gaze met hers and she instinctively glared, perhaps this Lioness saw this as she quickly darted out of view..Cova had not been back for some time..perhaps new lions had joined the prides...she needed to find out more..
She took a step into the shallow stream as if to follow her but quickly froze as a voice called "Who are you?" She spun around in one hopping motion, her back feet splashing in the water, now facing the voice...it turned out to be another Lioness, she had not been in the territory more than a few minutes and already was surrounded....perhaps the prides really had been working hard to gain new recruits...
Cova glared at her, a single drop of mud falling from the tuft of hair on her chin line as she said nothing for moment..nothing to be heard but the water trickling past before deciding to reply.

"....who am i?.....who are you?....."

a typical meet, she herself had lost her bubbly personality in the past few months, replaced by alot of attitude and mis-trust, it was if her coat told the story, matted furr and clogged mud and rain water making her look almost a new Lioness from the one that had left these lands a long time ago. But this was due to the little interaction she had had, and certain occurances that had not gone her way..

[Katari]

Uvumi sneered at the poor condition of the lioness before her: mud, matted fur, weary eyes...she hardly looked a lion at all! And now she avoided the question and asked for her name? Why did this all seem like it had taken place before? Uvumi shook herself in an attempt to clear her head.

"I am Uvumi, rude one," she stated simply, the sneering expression creeping into her tone of voice. "And who might I have the, uh, 'honor' of addressing? Perhaps an overgrown hyena?" She grinned without any warmth. It wasn't that she despised the stranger all that much, but years of rogue life did not adjust one well to social situations. Besides, the lioness was standing in the stream Uvumi wanted to drink from; why should she be polite?

[Deleted]

(OOC: could someone please fill me in with what's happening?)

[Cova]

(ooc. hmm well, ill try summarize forgive me if some of this is..a bit wrong..Gargoroth found Kiala, opposing prides but he helped her desite this because she was down about things, now Kiala is headed back to Otana territory a little happier. I Think Tef andFire and yourself....think Legacy is dead but is actually just weak and being tended to by Kata. Another Lion played by Pulsar, i think a wanderer has come into the picture and has been confronted accidentally by Kiala outside the Otana cave, partly due to the fact she was running away from me..ive just entered being a member of Jahina ad had abandoned them months ago, but re-appeared. Ive been confronted by Kataris new Char Uvumi and were just meeting for the first time. andddd *takes breath* Kata for helping Legacy has been offered a place in the Jahina pride, but its not official yet because she dosent know if she should...and Legacy it sees is pretty peeved off with her for telling Tef and the others he died...i think thats it anyway..if im wrong feel free to correct me)

[Deleted]

Alright thanks!! I'll bring Azzy in on this one...

BIC: Azure walked along, her tail dragging behind her in the grass. She looked up, flicking her yellow tuft out of her eyes. She saw two lionesses infront of her. She approached them, hoping they could answer her questions. "Umm.. sorry to interupt.." She said looking from one lioness to the other. " But have you seen another black panther anywhere?" She asked them, hoping they had seen her brother. "Oh.. umm.. do you know where exactly I am?" She added on. She rolled her eyes and sat down. "Oh, how silly of me.. before you answer.. my name is Azure.. but feel free to call me azzy or az." She said and smiled at the two before her.

[Cova]

This Lioness had to be crusing for a fight...Cova still had no idea if she was already a pride member..surely not a Otana Lioness...thats all she needed..a rival pride Lioness in her face...she only just arrived..and who knew if shed be welcomed back again anyway, But she guessed She knew no more than Cova herself so played her.

"Not that it matters who i am...but rather what i am...and what i am...."

Her claws already spearing the muddy stream bank, they certainly were clean..

"Is a Jahina Pride member....and you happen to be in our territory.."

Her voice sneered at her, she didnt really know if their territory still ran through here anymore, the border lines were always back and forth when she was here. The stalemate between the Two Lionesses continued until Another voice, a more pure one, broke the ice. her view slowly drifting over to this new approacher..Her nice smile a pleasant change, yet Cova said nothing for the moment.

[Katari]

(OOC: "Her voice sneered at her" is a really cool choice of words, Cova...I'll have to remember that one. ^-^)

Uvumi locked eyes with the lioness before her, knowing that to look away would be to admit defeat. And for a moment, they just stared, neither ready to make the next move. "I don't know any Jahina pride...." she snarled. "But idiots can be found in all prides -- yours must be glad to have you filling that position." She curled her lips back in a mocking grin, daring the other to do something. And then the panther, Azure, came bounding up, all youthful energy and questions. Uvumi rolled her eyes -- nothing worse than an interruption!

"I've not seen any panthers around here. Try looking elsewhere," she said coldly, still staring at her rival. "Anywhere else will do." She released her claws, feeling out the soft ground, ready to move in a second if need be; lean, wiry muscles tensed beneath her fur. If anyone made a wrong move, she would be ready to meet it.

Katakasha had been walking for some time and she wasn't exactly sure was she on Otana lands already. She frowned a little to herself.
"I should know... I sould!"
She shook her head and decided to head towards the end of the jungle, just to make sure by looking at the savannah. She frowned all the way she walked towards the grasslands.
Then she suddenly stopped, listening carefully. Did she hear voices? Oh yes, those definitely were voices...

Kata's eyes flashed and she quietly walked towards the direction of the voices. As she got closer, she noticed three different voices, two sounded angry, one was rather happy. And they all seemed to belong to females.
Kata slowed down and listened more. Yes... The two angry seemed to have an argument going on. She smirked slightly, going again a bit closer. She could watch in peace from the shadows of the jungle. And no one would even know she was there.
The black lioness crouched down and crawled under some bushes. She saw the three now... Two lionesses and one panther. She also saw she was still at the Jahina territory. Her frown came back.
Should be at the Otana lands already... she thought, but stayed still, following from her hide what would happen next.

Azure rolled her eyes. "Well it's nice to meet you too!" She said with a sarchastic tone of voice. "Would you mind answering my other question?" She then asked." Before i 'go look elsewhere'?" Az added on with an annoyed tone.

[Cova]

OOC. well thankyou Katari! nice to get compliments

BIC.

Cova's body heaved with heavy breath, Her clear tone and words of huge annoyance..but if she knew no Jahina ..then she would probably not belong to their rivals Her face screwed up as she snapped her teeth to see if she would flinch.

"The we got no business.."

Her claws retracting, although this might not have been seen, she then moved out of the muddy, cold water and finnaly drew her gaze from her, heaving it over at The New Lioness, nodding her head in greeting, ignoring Uvumi.

"Certainly..ive seen no panthers...and i believe you are in a certain prides lands..but i wouldnt worry, nothing but empty threats mostly round here..."

Her voice lingering on the last part...she knew what she had to try find..well..WHO she had to find...and both these two seemed to know as little as herself.

"well if you will excuse me.."

Now turning back towards the river..her eyes locked on the other side as she slinked away, and padded into the stream, crossing, and looking in either direction for anything that might jog her memory.
She could never shift the feeling of being watched...
