[Request] Freedom~OC Pride

[Misiziri]

I have to go to and write Preface 4 lol

His name is Brista.

"Hahaha!" He laughed deeply. His voice was incredibly deep. "You little female; you think you can stand a chance against me?"

[Zoketi]

[Ok, lol. I'm back too.]

Mwunga halted, spinning around at the voice. She let out a tiny snarl, her eyes narrowed uncharacteristically. She glanced from him to the Quagga, wondering how she had gotten into this mess. Knowing the prey animal's safety was her priority, she sped past the lion.

[Misiziri]

Brista stood there, unphased. He laughed yet again, "Little female, I'm not going after the quagga," which was a half-lie, "I'm going after those herbs. Tell me where you can find them."

He didn't care about the safety of his lioness pride, but worried he would go hungry if they did not hunt.

[Zoketi]

Mwunga gaped silently. She felt a twinge of suspicion, but pointed towards the trees. "Find them over there." She grumbled, then turned and continued towards the quagga. She might as well warn him, she didn't quite trust the lion.

Shomari slunk through the grass, his tail twitching. His eyes scanned around, and his ears flicked constantly. He finally paused, hidden behind a large stone. With a soft snort he flopped down beside the rock, closing his eyes. His ears still pricked for danger.

[Misiziri]

Brista spotted Shomari, and instantly recognized him. His expression twisted with rage.

"You! I know you!" he bellowed to Shomari, speedily walking over his direction.

[Zoketi]

Shomari jumped up, his fur fluffing. He stared up at the lion, eyes large and terrified. "Wh--wha?" He stammered, backing up. His tail flicked between his legs and his ears were flattened.

[Misiziri]

"You!" he screeched. "You stole my dinner, you little theif!" It had probably happened long ago; long enough for most lions to have completely forgotten the whole ordeal. But Brista held such powerful vengeance and hatred in his heart that when something made him angry, it would burn inside him for far too long.

[Zoketi]

Shomari trembled. Unlike most males, he was quite fearful. "I'm s-sorry!" He mewed, pressing himself to the ground. He could barely remember, but a faint memory came back.
It had been in a time of drought, and many prey animals had moved away. Shomari had been starving, and couldn't help but take the kill.

[Misiziri]

"Apologies won't save you from my teeth," he taunted. Velka watched from afar.

[Zoketi]

Shomari shrunk back further, glancing around quickly. He didn't answer, but turned and pelted away as fast as he could run.

Mwunga saw her friend flee, and raced over to the lion. "Leave him alone!" She snarled, flashing her claws out as she ran by. She opened her mouth, spotting the quagga, but the sound of the lion following left her no time for words.
