[Open] The Nero Pride Chapters* RP [Open]

[Songo]

Marrone looked to Delano,Tempesta,Jarfar,Mheetu and looked for Nyembe, "All of you will be training right here infront of me. I'd like to what you can do." he said motioning to the fallen logs and thick mud. He stepped back and reclined to his hinds, "Whenever your ready two of you may start, winner. Moves on." he added. "Unless the challenger backs out."

Tempesta looked to Delano and Jafar and Mheetu, she rolled her turqouise eyes and grumbled. "This is what I get for playing with the boys." she muttered. She stepped up to the middle of the area, she stretched more and looked at them. "Whos first?" she questioned with a smirk.

Mheetu looked to Delano and Jafar, "Wheres Nyembe? I'm not going to fight Tempy.." he muttered. He saw her all ready and concentrated and he looked to Marrone then back to Delano. He didn't even want to fight, none the less get beaten by a girl.

"Aw, mom, I hate the rainy season," complained Zuwa, who was stuck in the den and could not go out, as his mother didn't want him wet, and besides that, he had no one to play with.

"I know, dear. Me too."

[DGFone]

Delano wanted Mheetu to go and fight Tempesta, because they were more evenly matched, but he realized that Tempesta would in fact be his hardest fight: he didn't want to fight her. This realization that he would go intransitively easier on her meant made Delano walk up to the center of the circle, hesitantly. "Hey," he muttered, not willing to look at her in the eye. By the way she was confident, he would have a tough time against her. She was ready to win, but he wasn't.

But at the same time, Delano wouldn't be able to bear losing to her. So he'll go easier on her just enough to win, but not hurt her. If sh'es hurt, Delano didn't want to think about it as he stepped up to her. He would win, he hoped...

The battle of the Pride tracker versus the Pride defender was about to begin.

Addana bolted up, panting hard. The last images of her nightmare were still fresh in her mind, as well as the terror of it. Her unfocused eyes darted around the room, and only when she realized she was in the den, not in some distant lands being chased by a large red-maned lion, did she start to relax. She shook her head idly, wondering what had gotten into her lately. She reached down to groom her wet fur - whether soaked from the rain or her sweat, she did not know - while her mind wandered. But what confused her most was the last part of her dream. Right before she had woken up, an adult Jafar had appeared. She smiled ruefully. It had been a very long time since she had last dreamed of him.

She got up and stretched her legs, getting ready to start the day. But two paw-steps out of the den, she froze. "Jafar..." she breathed, eyes widening.

Jafar turned to see Addana standing there. It had been so long since he had seen here. "Addana, is that you?" he asked, walking over to her. However, he resisted the urge to go and rub heads with her.

[Nitro]

"I- I-," she stuttered, uncharacteristically at a loss for words. She blinked once, then twice, trying to convince herself that the lion in front of her was real and not a figment of her imagination. She composed herself and nodded. "It is I."

[KingKovu44]

Jafar bowed. "Hello, your highness," he said, remaining in the bowed position. He did not want to let his excitement get the best of him and then violate royal protocol by rubbing heads with the princess.

Mheetu felt the wind soak his thick fur and weigh his body down, the dampness made him stand instead of sit. His mossy green eyes watched Delano step up to fight to Tempesta, a surprised look passed him. He looked around to see where Nyembe was, still no sign of him. Then he noticed Jafar speaking with Addana, he minded his own business and looked back to the fight.

Marrone looked to Tempy and Delano, "Good. This should be interesting, give it your all Tempesta." he urged. He moved further back, "We aren't going for blood or kills, no claws allowed." he instructed the rules.

Tempesta looked to Delano and her heart sunk, she stepped back a moment. Her ears perked forward and she nodded to the King, "Yes, your majesty." she answered. She knew this battle wasn't about drawing blood, but about being able to hold off your opponent and pin him. She knew the big battle of lions happened at the end of the rainy season, her eyes looked at Delano and she gulped. "Delano." she said shortly. Once the King stepped back she began to circle around Delano, her body moved swiftly and her tail swiveled behind her. She sprung at Delano her paws sliding past his chest as he moved, she huffed out air landing past him. She turned her head quickly to look back at him moving her body back around, she faced him once more.

[Nitro]

"Where have you been?" Addana demanded, the excitement of seeing him back again had faded, and had instead been replaced with fury. After all, he had left her without any remorse, and for many seasons she had missed him. How dare he show up here and act as if everything is okay!

[KingKovu44]

Jafar was saddened. "Addana, I've been in far-off areas," he said. He didn't want the princess to end their friendship over this. "Please, your highness, I didn't mean to offend you," he added.
