[Request] Freedom~OC Pride

[Misiziri]

Velka frantically thrashed around trying to hoist himself up, but to no avail. Seeing Mwunga's figure, he kicked his front legs and almost shattered her nose.

"Leave me alone! Leave me-" he screamed.

[Zoketi]

Mwunga backstepped quickly, her ears flattened. He still had too much fight for a meal, anyway. She thought, dodging his flailing hooves. "I wasn't going to hurt you." She murmured softly, dipping her head to the Quagga.


Shomari watched his friend leave. He flicked his ears and sighed, plucking at a flower beside him. The petals floated to the ground as he ripped the plant.

[Misiziri]

This made Velka squal in fear. "Filthy beast, get away! From me! Grah! He almost stood up successfully, but came tumbling down in defeat. He quit struggling out of sheer exhaustion.

[Zoketi]

Mwunga's temper rose slowly, and she pushed away her anger. "Of course." She kept her self control and padded evenly away, her steps slow. She glanced back at the terrifed animal, her healing instincts telling her to return and help.

[Misiziri]

Velka lay there motionless. Limp from exhaustion. From tumbling down, his gash had been opened up again and both of his back legs were paralyzed.

"Mmmph." he sniffled and fell asleep, fully acceptive of death.

[Zoketi]

Mwunga halted. She could sense his defeat. Your not dead yet, She thought determinedly. She cautiously crept back towards he Quagga, her posture in a nonthreatening position. She approached, realizing he was asleep. Knowing that he would die soon, she rushed off to collect herbs.
Returning a few moments later with her jaws full, she carefully began work.

Shomari sighed again, crushing the flower under his paw. He stood and stretched, completely bored. The young lion turned and slipped through the trees, his tail flicking. He padded silently through the grass, alert for any danger.

[Misiziri]

Velka awoke quickly, but did nothing to try and stop her. He recognized the powerful scent of the herbs, the soothing scent that lowered his pulse and calmed him. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Shomari.

"Watch out," he whispered weakly, "watch out! He's coming."

[Zoketi]

Mwunga lifted her head. She spotted the young lion, his eyes staring at her and the Quagga. "Go, Shomari!" She commanded sternly, seeing the killing spark in his gaze.

Shomari hissed and looked at her in total amazement. Healing a prey animal? He thought, halting. Was Mwunga crazy? Shomari growled low and then slipped away, leaving her to her odd work.

Mwunga sighed, knowing it must look wierd. She turned back to the hurt equine, and continued her healing. She finally placed the last poultice on his wound, and cleared away the other mess.

[Misiziri]

The pain was lifted within a matter of seconds. Although still weak, he managed to rise first to the knees of his front ligs and then lifted himself up and stood normally.

He gazed into Mwungas eyes, touched by her generosity. "Thank you..." he whimpered. He couldn't quit gallop, but he trotted off into the deep brush of a dying woodland.

*new character emerges*

A brutal male lion, with a thick black mane and a powerful, bulky build watched intently from behind a bush.

"Is that female crazy?! She could've had a feast. Oh well. More for me."

[Zoketi]

*dances*

Mwunga let a smile cover her muzzle. "Of course." She meowed as he trotted away. She felt a odd sensation, feeling silly to have helped a prey animal but glad she did so.
She inhaled deeply, her features relaxed.
As soon as she scented the male, she jolted forwards. He would probably go for the weakened Quagga, and Mwunga had to warn him. She jumped the way he had left, fur bristling in fear.
