[Private] Songo and Sirom - A Sweet Dream

[CheetahCat]

While Viku dragged Songo along in the familiar path that would lead them towards Kondo, he wasn't aware that the lioness was planning an escape. Before he could give a brief glance over to Songo, Viku felt something sharp piercing into his furry shoulder. Not long, excruciating pain seeped in and coursed from Viku's shoulder section, all the way towards his spinal column. The painful encounter was enough for him to drop his guard, allowing Songo to have a moments peace as he slipped out a loud yelp.

"You... You... You're going to regret this Songo! Now you REALLY pushed your luck!"

Viku growled ferociously, glancing over to notice that she had vanished. Realizing that she couldn't have gone too far, Viku felt more allayed and pasted a detestable grin across his inky jet black muzzle lips. Not wasting anymore time, he accelerated those durable, strong and powerful forelegs ahead to try and catch up to where she disappeared off to. Songo's persevering scents made things more effortless as Viku stormed towards a nearby tree. Smelling in her exhilarating aroma, he realized that she had to be somewhere close by in this lush environment.

A loud snap from a depreciate tree branch caught Viku's attention. Startled by this strange encounter, he padded over tentatively to investigate what caused such a thing. To Viku's astonishment, his eyes were fixated on the lioness that caused him so much affliction. Growling angrily, he bolted out from his hiding spot and intervened in her path. Finally face to face, Viku listened on in what Songo was saying about Kondo. Despite what his orders were, she definitely had a point. There wasn't really a chance for him to get his greedy paws on her attractive frame.

"You're right about one thing princess. However... I cannot refuse my orders. You're still coming with me."

In a abrupt course of action, Viku went for a devastating pounce until something rudely interrupted him. Coming out from the shadows, a large powerfully built lion meddled between them. An frighten Viku stepped back a few paces as his flaxen, golden colored eyes adjusted on Kondo.

"K.. Kondo? What are you doing here? I thought you..." Viku slurred his words nervously, unable to verbally speak.

Kondo showcased an accomplished smile. Standing before him was Songo, the lioness that he had been tracking down for many suns.

"Good work Viku, you brought Songo here without that debilitated lion. I must say, I'm very surprised."

Kondo grinned even bigger in a heinous manner before making his way towards the disconcerted lioness. Coming to a stop a few inches away, he observed her physical features and purred quietly.

"My, aren't you gorgeous." He whistled leniently. Just the sight of Songo made Kondo's muscular hinds tingle as he smelled in her intoxicating scent. Grabbing hold of his masculinity, Kondo took a deep breath and lowered his charcoal colored haunches to the ground before speaking up in a composed tone.

"Where are my manners? Let me introduce myself. My name's Kondo, king of the Nalrisu Pride. It's a pleasure of meeting you Songo. Let me ask you, do you know why you're here?"

Viku remained situated, eying every possible pathway to see if this Sirom character was about to make some sort of accession.

"Sire, what if this other lion finds our position? What should be done?" Viku mentioned concernedly. A calamitous stunt like this would definitely irritate the Nalrisu King.

Kondo exchanged a few looks with Viku before closing both of his aquamarine colored eyes.

"If he even shows up, kill him." He said cruelly.

Viku nodded and darted over to nearby tree to provide himself some cover while his flaxen, golden colored eyes were on the lookout for Sirom.

With Viku on scout patrol, Kondo turned his attention back to Songo and pasted another sinister grin across his ebony muzzle lips.

"I take it you're not going to answer me. The reason you're here is because I have unfinished business with your pride. Do you know how much suffering your pride put me through? Your father alone was a nuisance that jeopardized my own pride. Ever since he gave me this scar across my chest, I'll never forgive him nor any of his pride members. You see Songo, you're pretty much the only living member of your own pride. This makes you special in a way. Seeing how I don't have a queen, would you accept my generous offer and accept me as your king? If you refuse my offer, I will have no choice but to do something terrible."

Kondo took a step forward, his herculean furry body easily towering over Songo's more slender and smaller frame as his chartreuse colored eyes remained infatuated on her attractive physique.

[Songo]

As Viku cut Songo off her blue eyes stared at him, “You don’t have to do anything Viku…He is..” he words were cut short. Her eyes quickly caught sight of a large dark lion and Songo stepped back growling. ”˜Another one…Can I get a break..’ she thought to herself. Her blue eyes quickly looked around them for any sign of Sirom and she realized she was alone once again, she felt her heart jump to her throat.

Songo’s ears twitched as she listened to Kondo speak to her and her eyes widened, “It was you that had Viku kill my mother Soniya!” she roared towards him. ” You fought my father way back before I was born...don’t think I haven’t heard the story.” she added and slowly inched her way towards the jungle.

Songo’s face pleaded with Kondo and then she looked over to Viku, “Leave Sirom go…he didn’t do anything!” she ordered as she stepped up to Kondo’s face. Songo felt her body get all light and fuzzy and her head started to spin as she stood before the lion, his gesture to take her as queen only making her sick.

Songo’s crystal blue eyes looked up at Kondo, “You killed my father…destroyed my pride…I’m special to you..you killed my...” she said in a cold tone. Songo froze and soon realized she was falling to the ground, her blue eyes slowly closed as she noticed a pair of blue eyes watching from a bush, ” mom..? she mumbled before passing out. Songo lay flat in the dirt, her mind taking her into another place.


Flash Back:
Songo looked down at her small paws as she ran out from the den, her blue eyes glanced around her old pride and she smiled. A larger female the same color as Songo stepped out behind her, “Songo dear, don’t you go out there yet missy.” she scolded softly.

Soniya stepped up and grabbed Songo by her nape and brought her back towards the den, softly nuzzling her cub. Soniya’s dark blue eyes gazed down at her curious little trouble maker, “You are just as I was as a cub, always getting into trouble.” she said laughing softly. The only difference between Songo and her chocolate pelted mother was that her mother’s legs were covered with ebony farther up, more socked then tipped.

Songo looked up at her mother and cuddled into her soft chest fur, “Don’t leave me mom..ever…not like daddy..” she whispered softly. Soniya looked down and nuzzled Songo’s side, “Never Songo..i’ll always be here to protect you..even when you least expect it..”

------------------------------------------------------&----------------------------------------------------------------------

The blue eyes belonged to an older lioness; she slowly stepped away from the bushes as she watched Kondo corner the lioness named Songo. She shook her muzzle and stepped back towards the Nalrisu lands and laid on a rock by Kondo’s domain. She waited for them to return her eyes never moving or falling asleep, the pride knew her as Mitsu. But she seemed interested in this new lioness and Mitsu held a frown across her muzzle as she waited.

The lioness herself was a chocolate brown with dark blue eyes and Mitsu turned her head to glance back towards the jungle. Across the right side of her face lay deep claw marks and they covered her belly aswell, she was all beat up and slowly growing old.

[CheetahCat]

Kondo wasn't amused by Songo's choice of words. He merely soaked in her innocence before his cimmerian colored eyes laid upon her weaken state. He wasn't completely sure what was causing her sudden defect. Giving her enough time to talk, Kondo remained in a inanimate status until her ingenuous voice deceased.

"Ah, my lovely Songo. Despite the difference your father and I shared, he really needed to be dealt with. I presume that you've never witnessed your father's other side. Believe it or not, he chose the wrong path. What HE did was WRONG. And seeing how you're not willing to join my pride, that leaves me no other choice but to..."

Kondo suddenly came to a stop, realizing that Songo was falling more unconscious. Irritated by this lioness's deficiency, he took a brief glance over to Viku and spoke up in a dispassionate tone.

"Viku, we're taking Songo back to our lands. I want you to lead the way while I carry her. If anyone tries to come between us, show them no mercy. Do you understand?"

Kondo's apathetic eyes fixated on the frighten Viku who was persuaded to take on more responsibility. The much younger lion was feeling more offended inside, wondering why his king wouldn't acknowledge the fact that he had done so much exertion just to deliver Songo to him. These mixed feelings inside of Viku were making him more unstable as he remained buttoned up until Kondo was ready to advance ahead.

Kondo observed Viku's actions, making sure everything was properly prepared before he padded over towards Songo's unconscious body. His muscular frame undoubtedly towered over the innocent, attractive and insubstantial lioness as he lowered his front half just to latch those tenacious jaws around her furry nape. Kondo's wet, arctic, pitch black nose got a big whiff of Songo's stimulating scent which in terms made his hefty furry hinds to tingle again. Apprehending that she was in the early stages of her heat cycle. A sinister grin formed around Kondo's ebony muzzle lips, realizing that newborn cubs into Nalrisu's Pride would benefit greatly.

"Okay Viku, we're ready. Lead on." Kondo ordered and gently lifted up Songo so that she was firmly secured upon his hulky, furry back.

Viku gave a nod and sighed soundlessly as he ventured on ahead towards their destination. He made sure to pad along at a reasonable pace so that Kondo wouldn't fall behind from additional weight. Ensuing on, both lions reached their primary lands and came to a sluggish stop. Kondo glanced around momentarily to make sure everything was impervious before pressing on, inching himself much deeper into Nalrisu territory. Deep within his kingdom, the Nalrisu King spotted a familiar lioness lounging on a massive rock. It was none other than Mitsu.

"Mitsu? What are you doing here? I thought you had duties to carry out today, why are you back on a short notice?" Kondo inquired sedately, riveting his darkened colored eyes on the enchanting lioness.

[Songo]

Mitsu’s oceanic eyes glanced up at Kondo and she dipped her head in respect, ”Well King the lands were calm, I came to see if there was anything else that could be done..?” Mitsu graciously offered as she stood to her paws. Her slender frame about a third the size of Kondo’s and she glanced at the lionesses face, she stared hard for a moment before turning away.

”Does she need some tending to King?” Mitsu asked stepped closer to the unconscious Songo. The lioness noticed Kondo’s eyes and she smirked slightly, her tail swaying behind her. She reclined back to her chocolate colored hinds and the scars left on her belly and side were visible.


-----------------------------------------------------&-------------------------------------------------------------------


Songo’s crystal blue eyes flickered opened before closing once more, ”mom..kondo..sirom..” she mumbled softly before passing back out.

[CheetahCat]

Kondo chuckled gingerly and took up on the offer of Mitsu's entreat.

"There's something you can do for me Mitsu. I've recently recovered Songo here, she's unconscious at the moment so she'll need some attentive with. Make sure that Songo get's enough water and food, I have other plans for her. Once everything is convenient, report back to me."

Kondo gave one last glance to Mitsu before lowering his vigorous, furry, brunet body to the ground. He easily slipped Songo off of him gently to the ground and ascended high once more. A sensual smile formed across Kondo's ebony muzzle lips for the first time. It was very rare for the Nalrisu king to display such an honest smile in front of anyone.

"I'm going to see what Viku is up to. If you run into any sort of trouble, come to me." Kondo contended. He briskly turned around and departed away from Mitsu to check up on Viku. Along the way over there, Kondo had aberrant thoughts of Viku acting out of character. He wasn't sure why though but something in his gut told him something was wrong. Subsequently moving on, Kondo's dark colored eyes centered on Viku who was sitting alone in a desolate spot.

"Viku? is there something wrong?" The Nalrisu King questioned, lazily lowering his raven colored haunches to the ground.

Viku's fuzzy tawny ears perked up, unaware that his king unexpectedly questioned him.

"Oh, what? No, nothing's wrong." Viku replied dejectedly. Even though he was lying, there was no point undertaking his personal problem on Kondo. He knew it'll just be disregarded.

"You sure? You've been acting awfully weird ever since our walk home. If there's a point you want to talk, let me know."

Kondo encouragingly offered, remaining inanimate for the time being as he gave a small sigh before speaking up again.

"I have another task for you. I want you to keep Songo within our borders. If you see any strange activity out of our lands, come to me immediately. I have a feeling this Sirom might visit us."

Kondo arise moderately, keeping his depraved eyes on Viku before en routing to his lair. Everyone knew it wasn't wise to interrupt their king on any matter when he was turning in for the night unless it was something important. Viku couldn't help but feel even more irate. Abandoning his thoughts for now, Viku indolently padded over where Nalrisu's entrance was located to scout within their boundaries to see if anyone was trying to sneak inside the Nalrisu Lands.

[Songo]

Mitsu gave a nod as Kondo ordered her to watch Songo and the lioness watched Kondo set Songo down. As soon as Kondo made his way to bother Viku Mitsu’s oceanic eyes flickered with fear, ”Songo…Songo..Wake up..” she cursed softly to the unresponsive lioness.

Mitsu gently nudged Songo’s neck trying to wake her and realized Songo was still knocked out, Mitsu stepped quickly to the den with the leftover food and brought some wildebeest over towards her. As Mitsu glanced down at the unconscious female she noticed the looks from other lions watching around her and she growled slightly. She reclined back to her chocolate hinds as her oceanic eyes watched for Kondo; she wanted to make sure everything was alright. She looked back down at Songo and glanced away shaking her muzzle, she knew what Kondo had in store for this young lioness.

----------------------------&-------------------------------------------------


Songo felt her neck being nudged and she refused to open her eyes, ”˜I wonder where I am..’ she thought to herself as she clinched her eyes closed. Realizing she couldn’t lie there all day Songo slowly opened her eyes and realized an older lioness was watching over her. Her head titled to the side as she studied this female closely, “who..Are you? Another one of Kondo’s pathetic followers..” Songo snapped as she raised herself to her hinds.

Songo looked to Mitsu and noticed she didn’t look like the others and noticed how blue her eyes where, her nose twitched as the wildebeest meat drifted past her. Assuming the food was for her Songo ripped into the meat hungrily; if she was going to escape she was going to need some energy.


----------------------------&----------------------------------------------------


”Mitsu..Dearest Songo. Yes, I’m Kondo’s oldest lioness of this Pride.’ she stated coldly. Her eyes studied the feasting female and she looked away. She saw Kondo was approaching towards them and gently dipped her head in respect, “King. Songo has awaken..” she added softly, her oceanic swirled eyes glancing back up at Kondo then Songo.


----------------------&------------------------------------------------------------------


Songo’s pink tongue slowly slipped out as she licked off the remaining blood from her muzzle and her crystal blue eyes narrowed. “Kondo..Let me go..” she ordered standing to her paws. She stepped to him and moved past Mitsu, her eyes glaring at the older lioness as well. Songo’s tail flickered irritably as she controlled herself from wanting to attack Kondo and attempt to dismember this lion.

[CheetahCat]

Progressing on smoothly, Kondo slipped out a low sigh from disturbance coming from behind. He glanced over his broad shoulders and spotted one of the lionesses making their way towards him. Inattentive, Kondo came to a sluggish stop, fixating his dark colored eyes on one of his assistants. He paid close attention to what she was saying about Songo coming to full conscious. A menacing smile formed around his ebony muzzle lips from the positive news.

"Good... I appreciate this news. You may go back on what you're doing. I need to have a little word with miss Songo."

Kondo chuckled naughtily. He turned around and accelerated quickly in the direction where he left Mitsu with Songo. The Nalrisu King was honestly shocked to know that Songo gain consciousness so suddenly. Upon arriving to his destination, he came face to face with an upset Songo who deliberately tried escaping. In a swift course of action, Kondo growled loudly in anger and moved his muscular physique in front of her to ensue no escape can be made.

"What do you think you're trying to do? YOU'RE NOT LEAVING these lands. Didn't you understand that the first time I brought you here Songo? I'm not going to allow you to take off somewhere I can't see you. You're going to stay put. I don't want you wandering around."

The Nalrisu King distinctively said, glancing over to Mitsu who wasn't making any effort of trying to stop Songo. This kinda bothered him a little but Kondo shrugged it off for now. Turning his attention back to the enraged lioness, Kondo stood up more erect and spoke in a harmonious tone.

"Now that you're awake my precious Songo, you already know my offer so why don't you be a good little lioness and accept your fate in this Pride. Anything you try to do will only make things harder on yourself."

Kondo concluded intently. He kept those execrable colored eyes on the fascinating lioness, anticipating a right answer coming from her inky, jet black muzzle lips.

---

Deep within the shadows, a pair of flaxen golden eyes peered over tree to tree. It was none other than Viku who was lounging peacefully on a small hill near Nalrisu lands. He had been lounging around for over an hour with no signs of anyone showing up. Viku knew this was going to transpire and he had deep thoughts of Kondo. To Viku, it appeared that the Nalrisu King is making some sort of mockery to him by forcing him to do these contemptible jobs.

"What does Kondo think I am? A push over? Why does he think someone is going to show up around here anyway? We haven't gotten any visitors in the last few years. I don't see any point wasting my time here..."

An angry Viku scowled. He lazily moved up on all fours and arched out his beige, tan furry back with a satisfying crack. Emanating a low purr, Viku was about to make his way back towards Nalrisu Lands until his fuzzy tan ears caught a strange sound lurking behind one of the altitudinous trees. Anxiety seeped through Viku's entire furry body as he carefully observed where this unfamiliar sound came.

"Hello? Is anyone out there?" The anxious lion called out, having no idea that a pair of amber colored eyes were focused directly on him. There was no sign of anyone lurking around the trees and Viku's nerves were slowly restoring back to normal. Realizing that it could have been a meerkat, Viku advanced on towards Nalrisu Lands in expedite speeds.

[Songo]

Mitsu watched closely as Songo stepped past her and the older lioness shook her muzzle. She stood to her paws and stepped away slightly as Kondo had her cornered and Mitsu hoped Songo would be cooperative for the male lion. ”No use fighting him Songo…” Mitsu said coldly through her muzzle lips. She bowed her head to Kondo and made her way back to a den to lounge, ”We all give in..in the end.” she said softly while her voice trailed off.


-------------------------&---------------------------------&---------------------------

Songo’s crystal blue eyes narrowed at the big Kondo as his body obstructed her path, “Kondo..Why is it you need me. I am not my father or my mother...” she said in an icy tone. Songo stepped away from Kondo and then lounged her body at the lion; she slashed at his face with her right paw and tried to crawl away.


Once Kondo was struggling to get up Songo ran back towards the jungle, she knew she had to escape. She made her way quickly weaving in and out until she ran right into Viku, “V-V-Viku...please...just let me go.” she pleaded softly. Her crystal blue eyes glanced over her shoulder as she heard the angry Kondo threaten to lock her up in his den.

[CheetahCat]

Kondo was beginning to lose his patience with Songo as his dark fuzzy ears remained erect. He kept those piercing coral colored eyes anchored on the lioness while Mitsu's soft caring voice broke their moment of silence. An amusing smile contrived across Kondo's ebony muzzle lips as his muscular frame inched a little closer towards Songo before speaking up in a humorless tone.

"She's right Songo, I insist that you do the right thing and accept your fate within this pride. There's no other choice for you to make."

A small chuckle escaped Kondo's furry muzzle as he took another step to close the distance between both lions. The Nalrisu King wasn't paying too much attention at the last minute and without warning, Songo's furry body came crashing into his own, completely throwing him off guard as he fell over onto his brawny back. Enraged, Kondo hastily moved up on all fours with wide eyes. He gawked in every direction, not spotting the misbehaved lioness anywhere. Extending out those keen, sharp fore claws, Kondo was deeply upset and angry. He couldn't believe such a thing like this happened so suddenly and unexpectedly. His attitude wasn't improving whatsoever as he jolted one of his fore paws into the ground, leaving a large imprint that insinuated how exasperate he truly was. Not wasting anymore time, the dark furred lion took off where Mitsu was padding off too, calling out her name loudly in a calm but upset tone.

"Mitsu! Halt! Song... Songo got away! Quick, I need your help to get her back! DO as I say, NOW! She took off towards the jungle!"

---

Viku sighed carelessly, moving along a familiar path that would ultimately lead him back to Nalrisu Lands. The long travel back was a nuisance and the golden furred lion was feeling more exhausted after each tiring step. He knew that Kondo wasn't going to feel too happy about his sudden return but Viku wanted to have a serious talk with his king in regards to these feelings that he had been experiencing the last few hours.

While he was in deep thought padding along, Viku suddenly heard a desperate cry for help. Instantly glancing over to see who it was, Viku was shocked to notice it was Songo.

"Songo? Wh- What are you doing here? I thought..." The blondish furred lion trailed off, allowing the frighten lioness to speak up. Listening thoroughly to what she was saying, Viku knew he really shouldn't let Songo go but there was something inside of him that prompt him to do make a irrational decision.

"Go... Just go Songo. Quick, before I change my mind." The golden furred lion hissed, glancing over towards where he heard Kondo's disturbed growl. This seemed like the perfect opportunity for him to have a serious conversation with the Nalrisu King.

[Songo]

Mitsu’s oceanic eyes glanced over her shoulder as she heard Kondo yell, “y..yes King.” she said and ran off into the jungle. She figured she could cut the lioness off before she escaped; Mitsu listened closely as she overheard Viku talk to Songo.
Mitsu stepped her chocolate paws out from the bushes and she growled at Viku, “Traitor…You know how much Songo means to Kondo.” she hissed towards Viku. “Follow your orders Viku…She’s the key…”


------------------------------------------&----------------------------------------------------------------------


Songo’s crystal blue eyes flickered at Viku and she nodded ”Thank you.” she spoke quickly before moving on. She came to a quick halt as Mitsu stepped in front of her, she let out a growl. Her claws sinking into the dirt she lowered her body, ”Move Mitsu...or die.” she spoke coldly.


Songo’s blue eyes glanced over her shoulder at Viku, “The key…? To what?” she said speaking back to him. Letting out a deep sigh Songo stepped back towards the Nalrisu lands, not noticing Kondo approaching from the rear. She planned on switching ways and turned to run when she noticed Kondo and froze.


------------------------------------------&----------------------------------------------------------------------


Mitsu sighed deeply and looked to Kondo, ” I overheard Viku saying she could leave..hes a traitor..” she snapped coldly. Mitsu’s oceanic eyes swirled as she looked at Viku, “You don’t deserve to live..”
