*Prides Of The Savannah*

[Lorien]

Kiala's eyes widened a bit as Pulsar mentioned exactly what was on her mind. She knew that she wouldn't be able to hide the fact, and her head lowered slightly. "You...you do look like someone."

She closed her eyes, her mind racing back to the time when she was held captive...and when Mino had saved her from that captivity. "His name's..." She stopped. She could hardly say the name, it was so hard for her. She mentally kicked herself for lapsing back into this state. She had been so strong these past days...so strong despite what had happened to her. Now memories new and old were flooding her mind and all she could do was tremble in fear. She should have known that it was just an act...her own act.

She finally looked back up at the black male, tears beginning to form in the corners of her eyes. She couldn't tell whether it was because of her current fear or the memories. She shook her head slightly and then looked at him again, forcing herself to speak. She'd rather not upset him and have to pay for it.

"His name is Legacy."

Was she thought in her mind, but decided it was better not to say anything. She then wondered why he wanted to know. Could he perhaps be related? Now she didn't doubt it as much.
____________________________

Gargoroth listened as Tefnut told him about her past. He knew what it was like to leave a pride. He himself had left the Midnight pride, his father's pride, when he was just a cub. Pity soon took him, and a softer look came over his face.
Taking a deep breath, he placed a paw on her head, as if trying to comfort her.

"I know I may look rough, but I know what you're going through. I too have left behind the pride that I was the heir of." He took his paw from her head and placed it beneath the liopardess's chin, lifting her head up. "You have nothing to be ashamed about. An overbearing, tyrant of a father is something that no one should have to live with. We both did, and made the better choice to leave."

Gargoroth didn't know why he was doing this, why he was comforting Tefnut. Yet, somewhere in his heart, however small it had grown over the years, he knew it was what he would have wanted for himself. Many times he had felt remorse for leaving, but soon taught himself that it was his destiny. Now, he had a chance at ruling a pride and showing to himself he was better than his father.

"I must say that I do want the leadership of the Jahina pride. But with my help, I'll bet that you could take it." He paused a moment, looking out to the lands of the Otana. "I bet that we could even end this pointless war if we tried."

[Deleted]

Kamaria smiled at Fire and sat down where he had motioned.

"Thankyou dear."

The panthioness replied politley. Then Fire asked her a question, in which he couldn't seem to get her species correct. Kamaria laughed slightly before answering.

"I am a panthioness, actually. Father was one species, mother was the other."

She explained simply before answering his acutal question.

"I'm not sure.. i'm just wandering about really.."

Pulsar smiled faintly when Kiala finally managed to speak what she had in mind. His smile, however, was not a happy smile.
"Somehow I thought you'd say that..." he said, letting out a sigh. He paused momentarily and gazed at the jungle, thinking of how to continue from this point.
"Remember what I said last night when you saw me err... 'lurking' around?"
Pulsar turned to look at Kiala.
"I mentioned I was looking for someone, a brother of mine actually. I also said he ran from our pride, and I was to find and return him to the pride."
He sighed again, closing his eyes.
"I ask you not to judge me by what my brother has done. I am here only to find Legacy and bring him back to my own pride so that he would take responsibilty of what he has done."

[Kirsui]

Tef's eyes shot wide open when Gargoroth placed his paw on her head. This was something she had not expected from the large male. Her confusion grew even larger when Gargoroth lifted her head up, speaking of his own past. But when he mentioned Legacy, however, Tef pulled her head away, a slight frown on her face.
"Think what you want of Legacy..." she said after Gargoroth had finished speaking. Her tone was annoyed and defensive.
"But he wasn't only 'an overbearing, tyrant of a father'... You maybe saw him like that, but you did not see when he became something what he was many years ago - a caring father who actually played with his daughter."

Tef took a deep breath and let out a sigh, slightly regretting of speaking on that tone. The liopardess sat down, rubbing her forehead with her right paw.
"I'm sorry..." she muttered, not looking at Gargoroth.
"I did not mean to speak that way. It's just that he -"
Tef shut her mouth, letting out another sigh without finishing what she was about to say. She placed her right paw back to ground, a sligtly pained expression on her face as she looked at Gargoroth again.

"I've had enough of this war, completely" she said.
"I have lost my family, my friends... I have nothing left to fight for. Before that battle between Mino and Legacy, I still had my father and a good friend to keep me going when I thought about peace. But now... I have absolytely nothing."
She paused, her eyes still on Gargoroth. For some reason she couldn't move her gaze away from him, not now that she had started to open her thoughts to him.
"Give me a reason..." she said, a pleading look in her eyes.
"I do not want the pride, Gargoroth... Just give me a reason to fight for the peace... Once more..."

[Lorien]

Gargoroth took a step back when her tone became harsh. He had not known that she felt so defensive toward her father. He himself only felt hate his entire life, and here she was defending the same kind of lion. He almost...enveyed her for this love that she felt for Legacy. He soon brought his thoughts back to Tefnut when she apologized for her speaking that way. He nodded and then sat down again.

When Tef spoke of the war...he didn't really know what to say. He didn't know why the two prides were fighting, only that they were. He took a deep breath and then sight. "You have friends on both sides...that's something worth fighting for, right?" He looked down at her, the expression on his face completely gentle in those moments. "If it's what you truly want, that should be reason enough." He looked then to the den and also to the lands of Otana. "I'm sure there are plenty who would follow you...who want the same things."
__________________________________

Kiala took a step forward, a bit curious as to what was going on. So he WAS Legacy's brother. She then furrowed her brows quizically, but then looked down at the ground. "It might...It might greive you then to learn that he is..." She gulped a bit, trying to get the word out. "..dead." She looked back up at the large yellow-maned male, wondering what his response would be.

[Fire]

"Heh. That's cool. I'm just taking little Kisima out for a little 'ride' around the area cause she said that she reeeeally wanted to go." He chuckles softly and shakes his head while looking at the energetic, playful cub. "I've kept her busy at least long enough for her to find something to do and I can talk to you." He chuckles again and looks at you. "Things haven't been going well with the prides.. There is a slow war going on... I.. I lost my best friend recently and I..." He stopped himself right there as to not want to upset Kamaria. "Sorry... I got kinda carried away."

[Pulsar]

"It might... It might greive you then to learn that he is... dead."

Pulsar's eyes shot wide open
"Dead...?" he muttered, glancing at the direction of the jungle.
'Of course...' Pulsar thought.
'That's why he was so weak...'

Pulsar let out a sigh. These prides had to be warned about this...
"I am shocked to hear your words" he spoke, turning to look at Kiala.
"But not because what you may think. It is shocking to hear you saying that my brother is dead, when I just a moment ago were fighting with him."
The yellow maned lion had a serious expression on his face.
"Legacy is not as easy to kill as you think" he said. "I should know.. After living with him for so many years. I saw him in the jungle, and he was badly injured. I was trying to take him with me, but I was interrupted by a lioness."
He paused, shaking his head.
"My guess is that Legacy was in a fight, and survived only because this lioness took him into the jungle."

Pulsar paused again, looking nervously at Kiala.
"The point is that.. Legacy is far from dead, and from what I saw, this black lioness called 'Kata' or something... is taking orders from him. If it really is that none of you know of this, it would be wise to warn your pride."

[Kirsui]

Tefnut didn't reply right away. Her eyes were still watching Gargoroth, but she didn't really see him. She fell into her thoughts, thinking of what she had experienced after coming back to this area again. Things just flahsed at her mind, and she went through everything once again...

The meeting with Bleak at the rain... First talk with Legacy inside the jungle... Mino getting seriously hurt when he met Legacy... Herself and Kiala taking Mino back into safe... Bleak telling her he had killed her mother... Legacy explaining that her mother had actually died in an ambush on the Otana lands when her family had gone there to talk about peace... Mino at her mother's clearing... Fire and Akida coming there... Bleak dying from the paws of Katakasha... Her argument with Fire.. Her painful meeting with Katakasha... Legacy warning her of becoming like him... Legacy and Mino both dying after fighting with eachother...

Tef shut her eyes and shook her head, wanting to get all thoughts away from her mind. She recalled the words Gargoroth had just said.
"I have no friends on Jahina..." she finally replied. "And after some events, I can't help but doubt if I really have real friends on Otana..."
She opened her eyes and looked at Gargoroth. Suddenly she started to wonder what had made Gargoroth to act like he was now. Hadn't he been like Bleak just a short time ago?

Tef bit her lip. She might never get to know what had changed Gargoroth, or if he was just acting it all up.
"What keeps you here, Gargoroth...?" she asked quietly, a slightly curious expression on her face.
"Unlike me - or many others - you are new to the area and have no idea of what this all is about. And yet you still are staying here..."

[Cova]

Cova remained still on the floor of the Cave entrance. Her paws were crossed and her ears were forever curiously perked in the direction of Gargoroth and the Lioness Tefnut. They had been talking for some time and even though she had no idea of what, it seemed important. She decided the best thing was to wait it out still up inside the Cave.

She yawned and put her head down on her paws for comfort. Her eyes scanning the rest of the area that was motionless around the two distant figures. Her mind still on the matter of being back here after all this time. and who was that Lioness out there really?....Cova had her suspicious of her....

[Lorien]

Kiala's eyes shot wide open at the mention of Legacy's death...or lack thereof. She was speachless and had no idea how to respond to such a thing. She needed to tell Fire, especially if the "Kata" character was the one he had been talking about. She needed to tell Tefnut...yet she wasn't sure how she could do it herself.

Looking at Pulsar, she wondered if he still wanted to talk with her. She nodded to him, agreeing that her pride must be warned. She figured that was good enough a clue to leave, and with incredible speed, she bolted back to the Otana dens, hoping that Fire had returned. When she got there, slowing her speed and panting a bit, the red-maned male was no where to be found. Panic began to set in, and Kiala's breathing and heartrate escalated. How would she find him in that vast land?

She took some deep breaths before she was settled down. She had to do it, no matter how hard she searched and how long it took. She had to tell someone.
_________________

Gargoroth sighed, knowing that this sort of question would arise eventually. He took a look around him and then brought his gaze back to Tefnut. "I...I'm really not sure what keeps me here." His gaze fell to the ground as images of his father came to mind. "I suppose it's because it's a new start." He looked at her again, a bit of a smile on his face. "Though, I must say, I didn't really start off at a good pace. I don't want to be that lion...I don't want to be my father." Tail twitching behind him, Gargoroth wondered why he was telling her this. He hardly even knew her and hadn't really told anyone much about his past.

"I find myself too often following in his footsteps. A ruthless killer I can be at times, as you may have noticed before. That is not the life I want to lead, but it seems that my father's blood that courses through my veins takes control of my actions most of the time." He sighed, wishing he had better will power to control his own life. "I figured here, I could start fresh and leave that life behind. I've just recently remembered why I had chosen to stay here in the first place." He looked back to the den to see Cova laying inside. "The intimidation and want to impress your father took control and brought it back out of me...now that he's gone, it seems a fog has been lifted and I can see clearer." He eyed Tefnut again, wondering what she would think of him now. Was she afraid? He couldn't tell.

[Kirsui]

Tef was silent again and looked at the ground. What gargoroth had just told her reminded her of something... He didn't want to turn into his father, a ruthless killer as he himself had said.
"Sometimes, it is better... Not to turn out like your parents..."
Tef said this on a quiet voice. She smiled faintly and looked up at Gargoroth again.
"It is amazing..." she spoke. "That those words came from Legacy. They were about the last words I ever heard from him."

She sighed, her gaze wandering to the direction of Jahina Den. She saw Cova inside, wondering yet again if she had seen that lioness before. She seemed so familiar...
"I have nowhere to go" the liopardess said, turning head again at Gargoroth.
"You can take the lead of Jahina, it will be just fine with me... But could I ask for joining the Jahina again? If you truly are trying to get a peace to this area, I would want to help in that matter, every way I can."

[Pulsar]

Pulsar watched as Kiala raced off, to spread the word of Legacy being still alive. He himself remained where he was for a moment, before he stood up and started walking. It'd be wise to do some research, to get some information about this area.

Pulsar glanced at thew direction of the jungle, wondering if his brother had sent Kata after him. It was likely, knowing Legacy it would have been no surprise. He chuckled slightly as he walked, scanning the area. If he'd keep at the savannah, Kata would have less options where to hide...

[Deleted]

Kamaria's smile faded when Fire mentioned a war, and losing his best friend.

"Oh my, I am truly sorry.. please don't feel bad. Get whatever you need to off your chest."

She smiled weakly at him while waiting for a reply. Looking over at Kisima who now seemed to be following a trail of ants along the ground, trying to find out where they were coming from and where they were going.

[Fire]

"Heh heh. Don't worry about it, Kamaria. I've grown to accept it as part of life, you know? Sure, I pain for wishing that he was here so I could give him a paw-pound and everything would be all right. But like.. It's not. Nothing I could have done to change it. No use on looking back on it when I got a whole world ahead of me, right? Besides, I know he's here in this world now and I just want the chance to find him again." He says with a chuckle and a smile.

Fire's stomach started growling a little. He hadn't realized that food was a thing he hadn't eaten in a while. He assumed that his body had put his hunger aside for more important things. He smiled to Kamaria again and then started walking over to an area in the land that the antelope usually hang around more often. While glazing through the area, he spotted something darting within the trees and the pattern of the tail caught his attention. Kiala?.. What's she doing here?

He ran as fast as he could to catch up to Kiala since she was a pretty decent runner. When he finally got within shouting distance, he called out "KIALA!" as he was running, bursting ahead with all of his might and was trying to recognize to Kiala as a sign to slow up. Judging by her expression from when she was running, something was wrong... very wrong...

[Deleted]

Kamaria chuckled slightly at Fire's words.

"Yeah.. you're right. It's something i have learnt aswell."

But her words were interupted by a grumbling noise coming from his stomach. She giggled slightly before replying.

"Guess you're hungry.."

But the lion had already gone off, and ran out of sight. So Kamaria yelled after him.

"I guess i'll look after Kisima then!!"

[Pulsar]

As he walked along, Pulsar had the oddest sensation that he was still being watched.
<Why can't I get rid of that feeling?>
He thought as his body shuddered slightly, before he shook his head then continued on.
His eyes scanned the area. Some prides were normally even somewhat active at night, these two seemed to be nothing of that sort.
"What would he possibly want with this place..."
Stopping, he looked at the ground then grabbed some in his paw and sniffed it, before letting it fall to the ground again.
"The soil isn't great.."
He lifted his head up and looked over the area.
"And this are offers little of strategic value..."
Letting out a deep sigh of confusion he continued on. If he had any hope of getting to Legacy again he would need to know the area and the inhabitants.

[Lorien]

Kiala ran everywhere; first around the savannah, then the jungle. She couldn't find a trace of Fire or the others anywhere. She was just about to completely give up hope when she heard a familiar voice call out to her. She slowed down, making sure not to hit any of the jungle foliage in her wake and turned to see Fire chasing after her. She sat down and waited, breathing hard, not only because of the great run she had just endured. She was scared.

When the red maned lion finally caught up to her, she rose to her feet again, the expression on her face probably already telling the horrible news she had just heard. Her breathing still had not gone down, and now that she had to speak, it made her timidness all the much worse. "Legacy.." she said between pants. "He....He's not..." She closed her eyes, trying to make herself say it. Fire needed to know, his own life depended on the words she had inside of her. "Legacy's alive, Fire!" Her eyes darted this way and that, the emerald orbs wide with fright. "And...the lioness...who wanted to kill you..." Saying this, her eyes went back to Fire's. "She's taking orders from him..." Closing her mouth quickly, Kiala waited to hear Fire's response.
__________________

Gargoroth looked down at Tefnut, nodding. "I will take leadership then, if the rest of the pride will comply." He then smiled a bit at the femme hybrid. "And it would honor me to accept you back into the pride. I'm sure the rest will be just as glad to have you back." He stood up, looking out over the lands that he was now going to take leadership over. "Let's head back to the cave and tell everyone of the new plan. We can get started on peace terms soon as well..."

[Kirsui]

A relieved expression came to the liopardess' face when she heard Gargoroth's reply. Tef smiled slightly and rose up to her feet.
"Thank you..." she said.
Though she looked rather calm, her eyes had a slightly excited shine on them, a shine that had not been there in a long time. It was as if she suddenly became young again, as if she had never had to worry about the war and what was happening around the prides.

Tef's gaze wandered around, stopping momentarily at the direction where Otana territory begun. She thought if Fire or Kiala had already noticed she wasn't there anymore, and if they were worried.
Tef pushed that thought away, looking at the Jahina Den.
Looking at home...

---

Katakasha had a frown on her face as her eyes followed the movements of that yellow maned lion. Brother or not, but this "Pulsar's" precence didn't give her the same feeling as Legacy's.
Then again, it could also be because she didn't know Pulsar very well. After all she had only met him briefly...
'Ah, that'll be fixed, Kata...' the black lioness thought with a slight smirk.
'That'll be fixed, yes... But...!'

The frown came back to her face as she moved to another spot, not wanting to leave too much behind from the one she was supposed to follow.
'He already spoiled my perfect idea...'
Kata begun to feel annoyed. Pulsar had told Kiala that Legacy wasn't dead. She had expected someone to find out about that at some point...
But this was just way too soon.

[Cova]

Cova yawned again as she law in the Jahina Den with her head on her paws. Her ear twitched and her head raised slightly as she saw Gargoroth and Tefnut who seemed to have finished their small talk. Rolling onto her back she looked up at the Cave roof and closed her eyes.

((OOC> yea....little to go on lol))

[Twilight Moonlight]

((Yeah I know the RP is supposedly full but Cova said it might be a good idea for me to join since it has but gone quiet. Hopefully I can kick start it again so we can all RP in it once more. Besides it will kill the time I’ve been stalling in joining an RP on this website.

Also I know I‘m putting a reply down before I‘m accepted. Just I don‘t want to really wait till I wake up to post it since I spent 20 mins doing it now. But yeah feel free to delete it and what not.))

The heat of the African sun was at it’s most fiercest as it shone down unforgiving onto the golden brown back of the muscular form of a lion. Slowly with heavy paws he made his way forward like he had done for the past few sunrises and sunsets; even he had forgotten how long he had aimlessly wondered the ever changing landscape all around him.

Long ago he had left behind the thick forest and ravines that his pride had protected for many generations of lions and the great kings that protected and looked over them. Already he’d passed through old hot zones where he saw battle back a few years before; he adventured at night the first few days till he was in lands he never set paw on before. He didn’t want to be attacked like he had been before; this time he more than likely would of died.

He finally stopped the first time that day since he started walking again at sunrise; already he had travelled many miles across small hills and good hunting ground. He even managed to eat scraps off a dead zebra that had more than likely previously been killed the evening before; surprisingly it seemed no one had taken much notice to it.

He sat on his hind paws in the shade of a tree and looked around putting a paw to his eyes pushing away his mane from his eyes and covered them to neutralise the glare that sneaked through the gaps in the leaves. He looked around seeing small herds of animals going about their lives as birds chirped overhead in the sky and in some trees nearby.

In the long grass that pretty much surrounded him a variety of insects rustled about and chirped as a soft breeze blew through the grass making it and the leaves in the trees rustle. His mane flowed slightly with the breeze as well before Twilight shook his head getting it back the way it should be.

He rubbed a paw across his neck as his paw toes came across the same old familiar grooved scar; all the bad thoughts coming back from that night many years ago coming back to him. He sighed and dipped his head slightly as he felt the stinging and throbbing sensation that normally signalled a bad few minuets for him. It came along every now and then; some reason that even he didn’t understand the pain would never leave him but forever taunt him.

He lay down in the shade of the tree as his vision started to go blurry but no matter how much he was to shake his head the vision wouldn’t clear back to normal as the pain increased. He gritted his teeth and growled softly as the pain took over; the pit of his stomach went cold and he gagged before throwing up slightly beside the tree before passing out from the pain. The red tinge of blood clear on the corner of his maw and nose even in the vomit he managed to bring up.

To anyone else in the distance he’d just look like any normal lion just lazing around in the sun despite his awkward position he lay down in.

[Fire]

When Fire caught up to Kiala, he stopped and waited for the lioness's response. Judging by the way she was sweating bullets and having a hard time trying to tell him what she was going to say, this was bad news. Legacy's alive, Fire! Those words hit him like a ton of bricks and his heart sank to the floor. This was bad news, indeed.

"Kiala, just stop and take a deep breath. Calm down and do you know where Tefnut is?.." He says as he thought of the liopardess. He wondered what Tef's reaction to the news would be. Shocked, if anything. But, she had to tell her in order or her to prepare for something that he might have to do in order to spare himself...

[Cova]

After a good while Cova's sleep was disturbed by a splash of water on her muzzle line, her face contorting as she quickly opened her eyes and sat up, scowling and looking at the Cave roof, clearly it had a small leak somewhere..but where the water was coming from she had no idea.

She grumbled as she stood up and shook herself lightly, Seeing Gargoroth and Tefnut still talking and decided to get out of here. Leaving the cave by its entrance and staring at the others for a moment in hope they might break convo and perhaps come over so she didn't have to disturb them with her plans of what she was up to.

[Lorien]

Kiala's breathing began to slow, and she shook her head. "I haven't...seen her." She had also wondered where the liopardess could be. She needed to know this information more than anyone. She knew what it was like to lose a father, and if Tef could know that she hadn't, it would probably make her much happier. Sitting there, she waited for any response from Fire, not knowing what to do herself. She was afraid, had been in Legacy's grasp before. She didn't want a chance of that happening again. Thinking back, she then thought of who had told her the news. "Fire...did you know that he had...a brother?"
______________

Gargoroth continued walking alongside Tef to the Jahina den, noticing Cova's movement. With his great strides, he was soon upon her and glanced her way. It seemed like she was leaving. "Have you reaquainted yourself, Cova?" He smiled slightly at her as he stopped next to her. "I've spoken with Tefnut, We've decided that I am going to take leadership of Jahina in Legacy's death. We're going to end the war and live in peace with the others, if they comply." He felt so good saying this. He knew it would boil his father's blood to hear his son speaking of peace, and that just made him all the more happier.

[Pulsar]

As he was walking along that feeling still lingered around him.
Pulsar knew he was being watched.
<But where....>
He paused and slowly turn his head, shifting his body slightly.
Scanning the area to his left there was nothing but trees and other vegetation.

"This... lioness, Legacy had protecting him..."
He paused briefly and tilted his head back while raising an eyebrow.
"She has some skill...."

He froze.... Then a grin appeared on his face.
"Come out...."
<Damn, what was her name?.... Cuta? kapa?... kut...ah kata!>
"KATA!"
He roared enough so she would hear.
"I know you are there.... come out and face me you coward!"
<That'll flush her out... hopefully>

"I don't know how Legacy roped you into being his pawn... but what ever he is promising you i can promise much more...."

If needed Pulsar was ready to play all the angles he needed to while he was here, to accomplish his goal was the key. What he promised or said to these mattered not.

Kata might be of some use if he could convince her. unfortunately he had no idea how deep he would be wadding through things by involving himself with the prides in this area....

[Kirsui]

Tefnut listened as Gargoroth spoke to Cova. She bit her lip momentarily when Gargoroth said "we". After all, Cova could be confused as to who the liopardess was to decide about things, not knowing her relation to Legacy...
Tef nodded in agreement when Gargoroth finished.
"I can help when discussing with the Otanas" she spoke out her suggestion. "I do have some... friends that are Otana's..."

Hesitation when speaking of friends... Did she really consider them as friends anymore? True, they had been there when she had hard times. But some had not respected her privacy when she had wanted that...
The liopardess pushed that thought away. Now was not time for that.

---

Katakasha watched as Pulsar stopped. The black lioness' eyes narrowed slightly. Had he noticed...?
Hearing her name shouted made her groan silently.
'It's Katakasha, you idiot...' she thought. His next words of calling her a coward almost got her pounce, to slash with her claws, bite...
But she did not. It would have been foolish.

"I don't know how Legacy roped you into being his pawn... but what ever he is promising you i can promise much more...."

Her thoughts of foolishness vanished as she heard this.
"More?" she asked, chuckling from her hide. She slowly moved to another spot before speaking again.
"Is it that a lion has to promise something to another to get someone on his or her side...?"
She moved again, just to make Pulsar confused of where she was at each moment.
"I thought you were more clever than that, Pulsar... Seeing as how you're his brother and all..."

[Fire]

Through all of the thought that he had gone through and the actual shock of the reality, he had never expected the question that had come next. "Well.. I kinda did... When Tef and I were little and were playing together, we used to play a game of 'sneak-and-hear' where we'd hide as good as possible and see how close we could get until we heard the elders talking. The coversation of Legacy having a brother was brought up on one of those 'game days'. From what I could remember, everyone was a little disjointed from the talk and it was very.. hazy."

"I must go find her, Kiala. You can come, if you wish. I would actually preferred you come with me since it's not safe anymore wandering the lands alone." He nods and then starts himself off in a jog towards he thought he might find her. It would be suicide... but at least she would know the truth..

He was running throughout the forest in hopes that he was to find Tefnut. Where could she be?... I know she's hard to find, but why does she disappear in times like this?.. Can't blame her, though... She has gone through a heck of a lot He looked around after stopping for a moment's and called out her name. "TEF!!.. TEF, WHERE ARE YOU?!"

[Cova]

The first thing Cova noticed when she glanced over towards the two figures of Gargoroth and Tefnut was the fact that hey had broken talks, with already, the looming figure of Gargoroth, who had taken little strides to be next to her. Her ears flattening slightly as he was rather Grand where he stood and seemed to have a glint in his eye as if he was deeply satisfied.

Cova listened to him with wide eyes as he told her of the agreement for him to take lead of the Jahina pride..At first taken aback by the amount of information at once..Him leader??..And Agreed with Tefnut for peace??...what power did she hold to come to such an agreement. All this Whirling in her mind as she put on a rather more pleased figure and smiled broadly at Gargoroth.

"I...Well...Wow....But of course..."

Slowly bowing her head to him as he now heralded a new rank within the Pride which of course required respect, now Catching the eye of Tefnut as she raised her head again, putting more questions into her head. Tefnut now speaking of how she had relations with the Otana's.

"Err..Forgive me..But how is it that you can sway the Otana's so much to peace?.... Your not a Jahina yourself?...."

Her head tilted slightly as an ear perked up with curiosity, an eyebrow raised without her knowledge as the idea of the thing did stress her somewhat because her new leader clearly was doing deals with her..How could she not be suspicious...

Kamaria looked down at Kisima. She was so cute. And she didn't know whether Fire was coming back, so she decided to keep the cub with her, as she didn't want to leave her by herself.

"Kisima, come on. I don't know where Fire is, how about we go for a walk and see if we can spot him, or anyone else for that matter?"

The cubs ears perked up when she heard her name, and she turned her head to see Kamaria, still standing there. She looked around and noticed that Fire was gone. The smile on her face faded and she trotted over to Kamaria.

"Okay.."

She said softly before smiling briefly at the panthioness.

[Pulsar]

Pulsar knew she was moving to prevent him from locking to where she was, so he stood there and turned his back forward.
"Caught your attention have I?"
Closing his eyes he tilted his head toward the sky and grinned lightly.
"excellent!"
He sharply turned on the spot facing the very rough direction he could gather she was in.
"Don't underestimate me Kata, just because i am not as savage as my brother, doesn't mean I'm any less of a threat..."
He paused and raised an eyebrow, before smiling, but it was one of evil intent.
"In normal situations my pride wouldn't hesitate to hunt and destroy the likes of Legacy...."
Chuckling loud enough for her to head, he places his paw on his forehead as if thinking.
"Do you honestly think they would send one lion after Legacy if they weren't confident he could match or out do Legacy's own skill and power!?"
The idea was laughable when he thought about it. Besides, Pulsar had requested to be sent after Legacy... He had his own agenda with his brother he didn't want their pride to know.

"However!...."
The lion checked his claws as if he was like royalty.
"Given... the situation.... I can promise you a great deal of things...."
As he spoke his eyes scanned the trees and vegetation for any sign of her.
"I can give you more then you can imagin....."
Turning around he started walking away.
"But then again... what would a lioness such as yourself do with an army at her command.... I mean, it's very idiotic to think someone like you would have a use for such a thing, for maybe revenge or the like..."
Throwing his head back he let out a fake laugh before sighing and shaking his head.
"Of course i could promise you a mate, if that's what you'd like, or possibly something else...."
Turning his head he looked back out of his eye corner.
"But i guess I'll just find some other lion who would value such things and be willing to assist me for a reward they can't even imagin..."

Looking back forward he shrugged slightly as if he didn't care.
Wonder if she took the bait....

[Kirsui]

Tefnut turned her eyes at Cova, her mind quickly working on an explanation in which she would not have to say a word about Legacy.
"Well..." she begun. "I've lived here my whole life. I've had enough time to get familiar with some of the Otana lions, as well as I've get to know the Jahina."
The liopardess paused, but not for long.
"Gargoroth was nice enough to accept me into Jahina" she said. "And I have my personal reasons as to why I joined now and not... before..."
Turning her head away, she gazed at the savannah and a flow of memories, both good and bad, raced through her mind.

Katakasha listened silently as Pulsar spoke, closely taking a note on every word the yellow maned lion said. After he offered her an army, she could not help but burst of to a laugh. The mere thought was... amusing to her. Kata had not needed one before. And she would not need one in the future either. The second offer of his was not any better.
"Your offers amuse me, Pulsar..." she said after her laugh calmed down a little.

Then suddenly, she decided to stand up, to show herself to this other lion. She rose to her feet, standing a few meters in front of Pulsar, her head tilted on other side as a slight smirk played upon her face.
"I do not need anything from you... Or anyone else, for that matter."
The smirk was replaced by a grin. The next thing she was about to speak was propably not clever, but...

"Legacy didn't offer me anything" she said, answering the question Pulsar had asked before.
"I simply asked to join his pride, and he seemed more than willing to accept me..."
A chuckle.
"Of course.. I have my reasons why... Your brother has a bad habit of being quite annoying from time to time, but until I've finished what I came to do here, I will do what he says..."
Her eyes flashed slightly, and for a short moment she looked quite devilish.
"After that, though... I just might turn against his orders..."
