The Tale of King Moto the Mighty (For TheWhistlerify)

[KingMoto]

Moto began walking, he didn't know where he was going to go, what he was going to do, or what to say to the lionesses with him. All he knew is that he had return to save his mother, and his Pride.

[OOC: I have to go for a bit sorry. I'll be on later!]

Kali and Marini didn't say anything while they walked. They were too distressed and confused in order to do that. Laini meanwhile watched sadly as her friends walked away. Once they were out of sight, she looked at Damoja and his two henchmen in horror, hoping that they wouldn't hurt her or anybody else. What was going to happen to them all now?

(( Sure thing ))

[KingMoto]

Damoja also watched them walk away, he grinned once they were out of sight and turned to the lionesses, who were also looking at him nervously.
"I don't know about you two", he said to Lumo and Kumo, "But I'm absouletly starved. You lot", he said to the lionesses now, "Will go get me food. I want exactly two zebra and one wildebeest, if you do not return wilth them all. All will be punished". "If you only return with 1 or 2, two will be punished", he said, glancing over to Tulivu and Laini momentarily."Now, go!", he shouted loudly, making one of the more elderly lionesses jump.

Tulivu wasn't going to say it, but it would be impossible to return with all three...

The lioness walked away, obviously not wanting to be around Damoja or his henchmen. Laini wasn't going to say this to Tulivu, but she had a feeling that herself and her were going to be the two that Damoja was planning to punish. The fact that what Damoja was asking of them was next to impossible also didn't help Laini calm down at all. Of all things she most wanted Damoja to change his mind and send her away with the rest of her friends, and as much as she wanted to just run off and look for them she knew she couldn't.

Tulivu lead the hunting party, she could see they were all nervous and she gave a little hopeful smile,
"We saw the zebra herd not an hour ago...and the wildebeest can't be far away...". A couple of lionesses smiled back slightly, so Tulivu continued,
"Maybe appereances are decieving, maybe Damoja...isn't all bad". It was a tough thing for her to say, for the same lion killed her mate not 20 minutes ago.

Meanwhile, Moto was still walking. Muttering things to himself, he looked back at Kali, Marini and the two other lionesses. He gave them a quick checking over mentally. He continued then, until he came to a few large rock formations, with a small pool of water around the corner.
"We can...stop here for the time being". He learned from his father what made a good shelter, and these rocks looked like they could sheild one from the wind.

Laini also found herself smiling. Not because she was believing what the queen was saying, but because she wanted to believe that what Tulivu was saying was true. She really hoped that things wouldn't be as bad as it seemed they would be.

Kali looked at the spot Moto picked, nodding. "It'll do." she sighed, hoping to wake up all of a sudden and realize that today's events were nothing but part of a bad dream.

(( Sorry for the shorter reply this time ))

[KingMoto]

Moto looked to Kali before walking over to her,
"I wish I was stronger...if I was, my father wouldn't of died. The Pride wouldn't of been taken over. Laini and my mother wouldn't be on they're own and we wouldn't be out here". He looked to the others and then looked to the floor, "I'm sorry, everyone".
----
A while later, the hunting party had managed to bring down a wildebeest, and one zebra. They were waiting in ambush, for the next zebra to come along, all were feeling confident. Tulivu let Laini take the move, as she was closer.

[OOC: They fail btw =/ Poor lionesses]

[TheWhistlerify]

Kali's ears flattened against her head as Moto suddenly took all of the blame on himself. "No, it's not your fault." he couldn't have done anything, since he and his father were both out numbered and taken by surprise.
---
Laini took a deep breath as she noticed the zebra approach. They have already done most of what they were forced to. They could do this. Noticing that she was the closest to the zebra, she was the one to give it chase. However the two previous chases left her tired, as with the rest of the lionesses who also didn't manage to keep up with the zebra. Laini sighed, knowing that they didn't have enough time to find another zebra before Damoja would want them back with his meal.

(( Yeah I figured that ))

[KingMoto]

Moto gazed at Kali for a moment,
"Thanks, but it feels like it is...". He looked to the sky, it was beginning to turn dark. He wondered if the other's were ok as he sighed and gave Kali a little smile.
----
Tulivu held back a deep sigh as she watched the zebra bound away.
"Lets...lets just go back with what we've got", she said. Some of the lionesses carried the carcasses. Tulivu just led, head down.

[TheWhistlerify]

Kali managed to smile back at Moto, a little nervously but it was still a smile. She felt as if Moto could use some reassurance, "Hey, we'll figure something out alright?" she asked, hesitating a little at first but then placing one of her paws on Moto's shoulder, hoping it would make him feel better.
---
Laini was tired, but she wasn't going to be selfish and let the older lionesses carry their catches, so she helped. Whether she was helping with the wildebeest or the zebra, she didn't pay attention.
