[PRIVATE] A Rogue's Light

[AustralianChaos]

Tanga had been stunned when the booming voice had roared out in his direction, causing him to freeze as he pulled himself out of his thoughts. He had looked up in time to see a male lion grab a lioness, holding his claws to her throat, demanding that he show himself unless he wanted the young lioness to die.

His instincts had caused him to freeze up as his mind tried to catch up with the situation. Where was he? Why was that lion threatening the lioness' life? What was going on?

But the lion's threats had continued, and as Tanga finally became aware of the situation, he realised he was in big trouble. It was either slink away and save his own hide from this rather threatening lion...or show himself, and run the risk of getting himself killed in exchange for the life of the lioness currently being held in a death grip.

Tanga sighed. For him, the choice was simple. But just as he was about to push through the grass and show himself to the lion, intending on proving to him that he was no threat, the lioness in question sank her teeth into the threatening lion, forcing him to let go of her, and together with a second lioness Tanga had not paid much attention to until now, they sprinted off...

...straight in his direction!

Tanga once more froze up. The situation was moving much too fast for his confused mind to follow. He knew the lion that the two lionesses were currently running from was a big threat...but he knew nothing about the lionesses coming straight at him, either. Did he run, and forget the whole event? Or did he impose himself onto the situation, however he could?

His indecision ended up making the choice for him, as the two lionesses burst through the grass he was still hiding in, bowling him over in the process.

Ra ran. She followed her sister as she escaped from the lion. However she didn't run like her sister, after they had ran a short way, she stopped and turned her body. "Imani, Run!" she shouted as she barred her teeth and unsheathed her claws. Knowing the lion would soon follow her, she had to be ready. Her tail flicked agitatedly, not noticing the new lion in front of Imani.

"Come on Scum Bag" Ra shouted to the lion that took Imani. "You want my sister pretty boy?" she asked, "Well you'll have to go through me." Ra said aggressively while growling. This lion has no right to take my sister. Ra thought. And if I get my way... He never will. Another thought crossed her mind, which she quickly dismissed as a last resort. "No, too risky" Ra said almost inaudible. "What you waiting for lover-boy?!" Ra growled, aggression filling her voice.

Auni woke with a start. He had just heard a loud and powerful roar of pain coming from about a mile south of here he was. He had just been lying in the long grass of the savannah, which blended with his pale fur, trying to get some sleep before looking for a pride. He had recently been kicked out of his birth pride by his older brother, the new king. He shivered, remembering the cruelty in his eyes when he had been exiled. His brother had always enjoyed cruelty. He shivered again. The roar had sounded like his brothers, powerful and angry. He decided to investigte. Although he was not clever, he was inquisitive and kind and hated to think of another lion in pain, even if they sounded angry and rather like his phsycopathic brother. Another roar sounded, pained and enraged. He broke into a run.

Imani let out a cry of surprise as she hit the bright yellow lion with a dark mane and fell over onto her tummy. She let out a groan and got up, seeing the male. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean t-- are you hurt-- I'm really sorry!" She cried, going over to the lion and looking him over to see if there was anything visible that showed that he was in pain. Once she had gotten a good look at him, she noticed how...different he looked compared to other lions. He had fur that shined like the sun beams in Africa, blue eyes like the clear oceans, a mane of ebony, and a silver belly. How interesting to meet someone like him, she thought.

Turning her head from him to her sister, she started to feel edgy. "Ra..." she whimpered, her ears folding back and her paws walking in place to show she was scared for her older sister. I want to help her, but what good would I be to fight with her?, she asked herself. Imani was feeling useless to her blood relation, and she didn't like feeling this way, especially when it came to her sister, whom she loved very much.

Auni continued to run as he heard another roar: A females, scared, suprised. He thought of his sister. His poor, powerless older sister. He ran faster, the female sounded in trouble. He saw movement up ahead. As stated before, he wasn't the brightest of lions. So without a plan he leapt straigt into their midst.

There were two females, one was a deep tan colour with beautiful violet eyes and obviously rather angry. The other was cowering behind her and a very interesting colour: Light brown but with a dark brown underbelly and muzzle and indigo eyes. Both were very pretty, he thought but he shook that from his mind, looking at the male. He didn't seem to be the one who had been roaring as he looked rather bewildered, not angry. He was very interesting too: Bright golden fur, a black mane, a silvery belly and striking blue eyes.

He hoped he wouldn't have to fight him, he hated combat and had never really been trained in it. "Um..." He said shifting from foot to foot in his awkwardness. "Is everyone alright?"

Mufalfa came after them saying to the sister, "Let me put you out of your misery and we shall see how much of a scumbag I am!" He saw them in the company of another lion. He told the sisters, "Ha it seems you found your boyfriend." He laughed loudly at that. "And I shall have my revenge on two lionesses not a scrawny piece of meat like you!"

"Alright fool leave now or I will kill you and make the sisters eat on your flesh!" He came forward towards him showing his massive size. "Perhaps I did not make myself clear eh?"

"Shall I rip your flesh into a million pieces? Will that make you leave or shall you leave voluntarily and respectfully and I shall save your pathetic life like the coward you truly are!" He bared his teeth making it known he meant to kill him if he did not leave immediately. He spoke again. "You know what I can do to you yet you stay for you have a crush on these lionesses." He laughed.

"I shall rip your heart from its beating chest. I shall crush your bones and let the hyenas eat your corpse! I shall bring eternal misery upon your soul if you do not leave now!" He smiled waiting for someone to atttack him. He knew neither the lionesses nor that scrawny fool could take him down. He then saw another lion come out of there. He became really angry at this ever increasing audience.

"Come out of there fool! Why must everyone be so curious today!"

It was then he felt a massive headache and looked shocked and scared. "Where am I? What am I doing here? Who are all of you people! Do not hurt me please stay back!" He backed away looking like a scared cat. "You do not hurt me! I have done nothing do you hear me?!" He looked at the lions and said, "You please do not hurt me!" He backed away into the bushes scared for his life.

He started to sob uncertain of what his fate could be. It seemed a whole new personality emerged from this huge lion and that made it even more peculiar.

[Skittakallista]

A huge lion leapt into the clearing and Auni immeidiatly knew that this was the lion who he had heard earlier. He was massive, covered in blood and very, very angry. His teeth were unusually sharp and his eyes mad. Auni tremblled, so scared he was. This lion could kill him with one swipe and it looked like he would. Then he spoke:

"Let me put you out of your misery and we shall see how much of a scumbag I am!" He spotted the other lion then and bared down at him. "Ha! It seems you found your boyfriend." He continued to threaten the other male with increasingly nasty threats. He is even worse than my brother! He thought rooted to the spot. This lions a phsyco! He'll kill us all! I can't fight and this other lion, however interesting he looks is so scrawny and thin! He'd kill us as easily as he'd kill a bug!

The lion continued to threaten the lion. "I shall crush your bones and let the hyenas eat your corpse! I shall bring eternal misery upon your soul if you do not leave now!" He let out an evil terrifying grin as if he knew the power he had over them. Then he saw Auni and his blood turned to ice. The terrifying lion turned towards him. "Come out of there fool! Why must everyone be so curious today!" Then a look of pain crossed his face and he suddenly looked bewildred and scared. It was a strange change to behold, from killer to confused. "Where am I? What am I doing here? Who are all of you people! Do not hurt me please stay back!" He backed away, scared. He kept asking who they were, begging them not to kill him, backing into the bushes.

Auni stayed where he was. It seemed as if he was a completely different lion to the one who had been threatening to kill them a few seconds before and he diddn't want to provoke another change. I'll have to talk our way out of this, he thought. He stepped foreward.

"Um, hi. I'm Auni. Are you Ok? We wont hurt you. Are you ok?"

[VitanisMate]

Mufalfa saw the new face and said, "Yes I am okay." He saw the new lion approach and said, "Are we friends? I mean who are you?" It seemed he had no recollection of the events that had transpired seconds earlier. He looked at the group of newcomers and smiled, "Oh we must be friends right? That is why we are all here right?"

He looked hoping that no one would hurt him. He looked at their faces not sure who they were. "Uh you see I was out hunting and I have no idea who you guys are? But we must be friends right? I mean considering we are all here playing right?" His voice was different as well, not the terrifying voice of evil before. It was a calmer, more gentle voice that made you think he was harmless.

He then looked at them all and said, "Oh my name is Mufalfa by the way. Silly name I know right?" He laughed again but this time it was a gentle laugh not an evil one like before. He then looked at the females and blushed. "Anyway if you are my friends and are hungry I will be more than happy to...uh share some meat with you guys back at my den." He then stopped at the word meat. "Meat? Meat? Why does that sound familiar?" It was then he had another headache. He laughed again this time, evily. "Hahahahahha." He looked at the lion before you. "So nice of you to join us spy. How about you join us for lunch? Surely you are hungry after getting into business that was not yours!"

"You know I hate spies unless they are the occassional morning snack!" He laughed again. "Perhaps what I just said to loverboy over there will happen to you hmm...?" He looked at him and bared his teeth. "But maybe I will let you live so that you may say to all the lions to never trespass unto Mufalfa's lands. Do you think that is a good idea?"

He looked at them and said, "I love friendly reunions don't you!" He looked at the scrawny one, "Alright you cowardous oaf fight me!"

[Nakisisa]

Hmmm, Whats he doing Ra thought, not hearing her sisters call. Why was he going to attack then suddenly stop and call us friends? was only one of the million thoughts crossing Ra's mind. However one thought prevailed, Crazy or not, you need help she thought And holding my sister didn't hep your case she thought, crouching lower to the ground, growling. she was about to pounce when he spoke, his voice different again.

Alright you cowardous oaf fight me!, This was directed at one of the lions, but Ra saw it as her chance. With that Ra pounced. tackling the lion to the ground, she dug her claws into him slightly. "Now" she said sweetly, moving one paw to his neck. "If you EVER THREATEN MY SISTER AGAIN, YOU WONT BE LISTENING TO ME TELL YOU OFF. YOU'LL BE DEAD" Ra growled, shouting at the lion. "UNDERSTAND?" she demanded.

[oXButterflyKissesXo]

Imani still hid in the shadows. She was unsure of the male lion and his constant mood swings, and she knew there was danger if they didn't get out of there. If she could, oh, she would slap the mane right of this...Alfalfa-whatever-this-moody-lion's name was...but she knew best to let her sister do the 'slapping'.

She looked at the new male who had appeared on the scene and identified the others more thoroughly. Who was on Mr. Moody-Mane's side? Who was on her and her sister's side? She couldn't tell; everyone except her sister were known to her. That made her shy away and not buck up like her sister was.
