[Songo]

Its not that the lands he ruled were dead and had no food, but it was the exact opposite. The grass was green and the food was plenty, but if you looked through the King's eyes it meant nothing. Ever since the war started and Felix lost his love and most of his followers to a terrible death, he was determined to never be caught off guard again. He would rip the flesh from anyone who wanted his throne and he would take no mercy on those who stood in his way.

After the death of Victoria gloomy skies rolled in over the Pride lands and never left, every couple weeks the skies cried and it was probably for Felix. Victoria was the only voice that didn't want to go to war and Felix ignored her, when in the end she was right. The beautiful Queen was brutally attacked and was killed while Felix watched, defeated he went back to his land. Ever since then hes been preparing....for a bigger war, for revenge. Love will make you do crazy things, but grief can make you do worse.

The King had been driven mad with such insanity, that the thought of his enemies running upon his lands and taking his life while he slept. Never let him sleep! In fact he was against his Pride even sleeping, he made them take turns patrolling. He turned what was left of his Pride into ultimate fighters, ready for war. Always.



This day was like every other and the pride was busy doing their normal duties, a normal growl rumbled Felix's stomach. The brown furred King pulled his large body to his paws and he shook his pelt freeing loose stones from his golden mane. He was handsome and he had enough time to find a new mate and have a heir, but no one compared to Victoria's raw beauty or her spirit.

The King stumbled from his den groggily and met the grey skies with a sigh of his own, at the very moment rain began to pour down. He let a growl rumble from his throat, "Giza! Guerra!" he growled furiously from the ledge he stood on.


A large male relaxed in a small den at the bottom of Pride rock, his green eyes flickered as he watched everything. Like his King, he barely slept. It gave him more time to study his surroundings and master the everyday plans of mother nature. When she slept he was awake, scouring the land and hunting. While she was awake he was patrolling the lands, sleep; who needed it. Guerra was a pale colored lion, not pasty just not colored.

His ears twitched at the roaring sound of his King and he quickly left his den and looked up, "Yes..?" he grumbled. His green eyes side glanced at Giza as she strolled in from lounging on some rocks nearby, "Good patrolling eh..?" he grunted. The rain hit his pelt and he felt a shiver ease down his spine as his attention went back to Felix, he hated hunting in the rain.

Giza bowed her head to Felix, "Yes, My king." she cooed in a sweet tone. Giza was a young brown lioness and her claws were as sharp as her tongue. Her light amber eyes flickered at Guerra and narrowed,"Hush your trap sleeping beauty..." she spat before turning her back to walk into the lands.

Felix nodded and dismissed the two as he reclined to his hinds on the ledge, the rain hitting his pelt. He watched the lands and they seemed to be suspended in time. Dead silent.


Giza picked up her speed as Guerra kept up and her eyes thinned, "I hate the rain.." she whined still annoyed. Even after months of rain there was no getting use to this foul weather, she looked to the ground. " Tracks.." she hissed behind her at Guerra. "Try and keep up.." she snapped.


Rolling his green eyes Guerra stayed close-by to Giza, he was there as her backup. She could handle any animal the Pride lands had to offer. He was just there to carry it back and throw it to the King, "Grab an extra one. I didnt eat today.." he ordered stepping through the tall grass.



Jua's pale blue eyes looked up at the sky and she frowned, "Kaput..don't go far mister." she said in a warning looking at her son running around. She watched the King stare off into the distance, he looked so lost up there. It was awfully quiet for Kaput to be around and Jua spoke up once more, " Kaput did you hear me...?" she growled.

[Applejack]

Kaput looked up defiantly at his mother and flattened his ears. "I can go wherever I please, mother," he said coldly. He started to stray further off until he heard his mother again and flipped around to face Jua. "Mother," he said again, "You can't control me. I am my fathers' son, and I won't be held down by any lioness." He shook his head and turned around, scampering off. He wandered a little ways and finally came to a stop only when he tripped over Damatu and came rolling to a stop. Damatu's head snapped up as she turned around and hissed at the cub. "What do you think you're doing," she remarked as the cub stood his ground, his chest puffed out. "What ever I want," he replied and padded off confidently, his small tail sticking up in the air. Damatu couldn't help but chuckle. That cub was going to turn out just like his father. A strong, independant fighter.

Damatu yawned and stretched, not having been ready for a wakeup call just yet. After shaking her pelt clean, she padded over to Jua and looked down at her. "You let your son walk over you like a rug day after day. When will you actually take charge and show that cub who's boss?" She shook her head as Jua didn't reply right away and padded off up to the den, intent on speaking to Felix.

\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\
The constant clouds that were hanging over the beautiful scape of the foreign lands she had stumbled upon seemed to match Kuva's mood, raining down sadly upon her as she padded across the fields. A long way from home, you could say she was, although she'd never really had a home. Since she had been a cub, born into a pride of violence, her mother and everyone around her had always told her that she was incompitent and worthless. A pride of fighters had no need for a soft, gentle lioness, they'd told her. After a year of growing into life there, she couldn't take it anymore. She'd run off in the middle of the night. Two years it had been since she'd run off. A teen she was, but old enough to be bordering adulthood.

Another problem with Kuva, as she'd been told growing up for that year, was the color of her fur, a strong, offwhite color, bordering creamy, but closer to white. It gave her away while hunting and made her too easy to spot in a fight, not that she need worry about that. Kuva didn't live for the fight. She lived for peace, and had been searching her two years for a pride that would accept her for who she was, not force her to change. None of the prides she'd found so far had been so, though. They all forced her out because she refused to break and turn from her gentle behavior. After all this time, she'd developed a loner's nature, desperate for company, and would leap at the sight of anyone for pure joy, hoping for company from them, but to no avail.

Finally, she'd come across this, the pridelands, and had just wandered onto the grounds, not sure where she was, but as usual, she as guided by the scent of lions and lionesses. What detered her was the smell of blood and fear in the air, but she ignored it. Two years was enough. Maybe this pride would accept her for who she was! She padded off, head and tail down, ears flat against her head, the rain slickening her coat. She stood out like a sore thumb, and the water made her coat shine like moonlight. She tried to flatten herself to the ground, but gave up and started to slowly pick her way along a worn path. Suddenly, she smelled the strong scent of a lion and lioness coming her way, and she ducked quickly behind an overhang-type rock, pressing against it. She hoped they wouldn't smell her, or pick her out out of the corner of their eyes.

[Songo]

Jua lifted her head and looked at Damatu, "I know...." she muttered rubbing her head with her paw. Giving another sigh the rain made her shiver and her pale blue eyes narrowed, "Kaput come inside you're going to get sick." she said following her cub.

Every day his mouth was getting worse and she let out another growl as she scooped him up by his scruff. Ignoring his fighting and his words she dropped him into the den with her, "Now stop...you're going to get sick. Stay put or i'll get your father!" she growled angrily at him. He looked just like his father and it made her frown, where the hell was Danivu a this moment anyway?


Felix's ears flattened to his head tightly as he heard the quiet approach and his claws unsheathed from his mighty paws. Whirling around he lifted his paw to smack at the intruder but stopped when he noticed it was just Damatu, he smirked. "I almost hurt you Damatu, you need to be more careful." he warned. "What can I do you for?" he added his yellow eyes flickering to her frame and then her face. She was one of his finest fighting lionesses, she was also loyal to the end.


//\\/\/\/\/\/\/////\\\\//\/\/\//




Giza was padding through the tall grass and as she passed some rocks above her she froze, giving a small snort. Her green eyes turned back to Guerra and she motioned for him to come closer to the rocks, "Do you smell that...?" she said to him softly. The scent was unfamiliar and definitely a females, she let out a low growl as she approached the rocks slowly.


It must've been the rain and the mud that hid this fresh flowery scent from Guerra but his nostrils inhaled it right away. It was strong but it didn't seem anyway dangerous, he paused and let Giza approach. "I wonder.." he whispered.


Giza scoured over the rocks her green eyes peeking in the cracks and she saw nothing, a sigh left her muzzle. Was she smelling old scents? She hopped back to the dirt and turned her back to walk back towards Guerra. But she froze, her green eyes caught the sight of fur. A mischevious grin plastered across her brown muzzle and she quickly rushed the rocks grabbing at Kuva's foot. Her claws scraped the rocks and finally she was able to drag the lioness from her hiding spot, "Here Kitty kitty...look Guerra a trespasser." she hissed.

[Applejack]

Kuva pressed further against the rock as she hear the lion and lioness coming closer to her hiding spot. She curled up into a bit of a ball, wishing her fur wasn't quite so light. She held her breath as she hear the lioness whisper something, but couldn't make it out. Then she strained to listen and heard the lion say something but it was even more faint, and she couldn't hear that either. The smell of the lioness got closer and closer until it almost choked her. Finally, the lioness leaped back and grapped her by the rear paw, dragging her out from under the rock. She whimpered and turned around, attempting to get a better look at the lioness who had a hold on her. When she got a good look at her face, she attempted to hide her face in her paws, but to no avail.

"I'm not a t..tresspasser!" She exclaimed, curling back up into a ball. "I..I'm just merely passing by! I mean no one here any harm!" She had the terrible feeling that this lioness meant her complete harm. She flinched down, expecting to feel the tearing of claws at her fur as she'd felt so many times before. It was to be expected, after all. She was an outsider, a tresspasser, no matter how innocent her intentions may be. "I..If you're going to kill me," she managed to cry out, "Atleast do it fast! I don't want to die in pain."

\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\
Damatu made it a point to bow low before Felix, a seductive grin spread across her face as she prostrated. Power, thats what she respected, and Felix had it. Strength, power, control, it was enough to make her inner kitty purr. "I simply seek the royal presense of His Majesty." She glanced up from her position at the King and smiled more widely. "Do I have your permission to enter, Your Highness?"

As she looked up and examined Felix more closely, she couldn't help but feel a pang of desire rip through her body. She would love nothing more than for him to seize her and do with her as she wished, but she knew he wouldn't do that. Ever since the queen had died, he had been a secluded lion, keeping to himself unless he was issuing orders or giving a speech.

\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\
Kaput hissed in defiance, but, as soon as his father was mentioned, seemed to quiet down. Then, he put a face on and looked up at his mother, a paw out. "Go ahead!" he exclaimed defiantly. "Go get dad. See if I care!" Suddenly, he yelped as he felt himself lifted by his scruff by a pair of jaws that werent his mothers and then set down on a rock that was higher up than normal. He turned slowly and fearfully around and came face to face with the large, dark muzzle of his father. "D-dad," he whimpered, sinking down close to the rock.

"Are you giving your mother a hard time, Son?" Danivu said, looking down sternly at Kaput. "What did I tell you I'd do if I caught you antagonizing your mother again?" Kaput whimpered, then looked up at his father, ears flat, tail between his legs, before squeaking out, "F-feed me to the h-hyenas."

"Thats right," Danivu said, looking down at his son once more before growling softly. "Now, get down from there and go appologize to your mother for how you treated her." When Kaput started to say something in protest, Danivu simply unsheathed a claw and raised it. "Its the claw, or her."

Kaput jumped down off of the rock that he was on, landing with a jarring thud that resonated through the den and padded up to Jua, nuzzling her jerkedly. "Sorry for being a jerk..." Kaput murmered, as though he diddn't mean it. "AGAIN," Danivu put in before walking up to the two and nuzzling Jua lovingly. He may have been a lion who loved fighting, but he was not alltogether cruel. He still held love for one thing in this life: His family.

[Songo]

Giza let a snort leave her nostrils and she grasped at Kuva's neck her claws cutting into the lioness's soft skin. Getting a bit of a rush from the whines of Kuva, Giza snarled in her face. She began snapping her jowls closed around the lioness's ears on purpose. "Silence you pathetic fool....what lioness doesn't defend herself." she growled in a huff. "One that doesn't deserve to live.." she hissed answering her own question. Her green eyes lifted up a moment and she looked at Guerra, ".....Well.....dont you agree? " she snapped.


Guerra let out a grunt as Giza tortured the lioness and he looked at the sky, "I'm hungry...I don't care what you do. Just kill her..." he said turning his back to walk back towards the herd that was on the move.

Giza growled as he walked away and her ears flattened against her head, she looked down at the sniveling Kuva. "Shut up for a second!" she snapped whacking the lioness with her claws. She let her enjoy the pain for a moment and she quickly began a slow walk after Kuva. "Where do you think you're going?"[/]b she snapped once more.


//\/\/\/\\\/\\/\\/\//\\/\//\


His yellow eyes narrowed a bit at Damatu, [b]"Of course..." he said in a low growl. He lifted his massive body to his paws and slowly met Damatu halfway in his dark den. He had a grin of his own as he slowly circled her lean frame. "Ahh...Damatu, what of the lands? Are they safe?" he said in a whisper by her ear.

Felix was no fool, he knew the lionesses of his Pride wanted him, they wanted to be the one to bare his heir. The only one who he would choose would probably be Damatu at the very least, she had a way about her. The King lifted his paw and flashed his claw, lifting up Damatu's chin. "Look me in the eyes when you address me.." he ordered.


/\/\//\\\/\\\//\\/\\//


Jua smirked, "Purr-fect timing my love..." she whispered giving his muzzle an affectionate lick. Her pale blue eyes gazed up at Danivu, he always came to save the day. She rubbed her head off of his and forgot at that moment the hard time Kaput was giving her, "I accept your apology Kaput." she said softly giving her son a nuzzle and then a lick. She frowned at his stubbornness and she turned back to Danivu, snuggling into his side. "Hes too much like you...I can't discipline a miniature you!" she teased nuzzling him with a soft purr of her own, "Well...not in the way id like too!" she giggled and winked.

[Applejack]

Damatu let a grin slide to her muzzle and lifted her face so that her eyes were level with Felix and loosed a small purr of amusement. "The lands are safe, my lord," she said confidently. A shock of lightning-like pleasure shot through her body as he touched her, and she couldn't help but shiver. "What of you, Felix?" She asked softly. "How do you fare? Are you well of late?"

It was her turn to slowly walk around him, daring take the risks that she knew should surely lead to execution. "You do know I worry about you, sire." She couldn't help but respect the sheer strength that rippled through his muscles as he shifted about, keeping his eyes on her. "If anything I can do, you know it is to care about and protect my king."

\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\
Kuva curled up into a tight ball as teh onslaught of injuries came, over and over. Why was it that no matter where she went, she was tortured, teased and abused? "I..I come to not f..fight! I come for peace... I seek a place to stay!" She whimpered again as she was thrown about, showing all signs of submission and willingness to cooperate. Her whimpers got softer and softer as she took more damage, and finally, her head snapped back as she was blown across the face. She started crawling away again, hoping there was some way she could escape this vicious lioness and the lion that seemed to not care no matter what happened to her.

The blood started to stain her bright fur more and more as her vision began to fade. What had she done to make this lioness so upset? Beg to be taken peacefully? She fell to the ground, shaking violently, and looked up, all pleading in her eyes. "Please," she whispered, managing to finally speak, "Don't kill me... I'll do anything I can to serve your pride. I just seek the safety of shelter and a pride to call my o-" Her jaw was snapped shut as Giza stepped up and put a paw on her muzzle, silencing her. Her vision began dancing with sickening red and black spots swimming across her view.

\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\
Danivu smiled and settled down softly next to Jua. The one thing he cared for was his family. That was what he'd been willing to fight for this entire time. "Do tell," he purred amusedly, "How you would discipline me?" He smirked, nuzzling Jua and Kaput in turn before facing the two of them. "Kaput," he said, "You need to learn how to listen to your mother. What would I do if I were forced to separate the two of you and teach you another lesson? It just wouldn't be fair to your mother. She'd miss all the fun." He winked at Jua, laughing on the inside.

[Songo]

Giza chuckled at the cries for help from the lioness and she smirked, "No ones going to help you now..." she cackled lifting her claws in the air. It only took a split second for her paw to come down with all her might, but at the same time Guerra's paw stopped her. They ended up hitting Kuva and knocking her unconscious, but she only got the blunt force of Guerra's paw pads.

"You better have a damn good reason..." she snarled as she went to tackle after Guerra. She let out a growl of her own, "You would take pity on some defenseless female."[b/] she blurted out walking towards the herd. [b]"I'll grab some dinner, you better take her to the King. I don't think he'll let you keep her though.." she added, her green eyes focusing on a new victim.

His dark green eyes blinked a few times as he stared at Kuva's body, she was battered and bruised. For a single moment he felt sorry for her, she wasn't looking for trouble. But Giza always was. He snorted at Giza as she went to retrieve dinner and he lifted Kuva onto his large back. Not exactly sure how he'd explain this to Felix, he headed back towards Pride rock; where his King stood at.

//\\/\/\\/\\

Jua giggled as Danivu nuzzled her and she smirked, "When we don't have little ears around, i'll have to show you." she purred softly licking his muzzle once more. Jua smiled down at Kaput and she noticed the rain had stopped, "Now you can go back outside and play..." she whispered giving him a nudge forward. She watched Kaput run out the den and she noticed he froze, was something wrong?

"Danivu..." she whispered in a hush tone as she raced to see what Kaput was staring at. It was Guerra and he had a bloody lioness on his back, "Guerra...what happened to her." she gasped softly running to his side. "Put her down Guerra and go get the King..." she said sternly, she checked to make sure she was breathing.

/\/\/\/\//\\/\\/\\

Felix's yellow eyes followed Damatu's body as she circled him and he gave a deep snarl, his actions quick. He shifted his weight and pinned Damatu up against the stone wall of his den, his hot breath right by her ear. His claws scratched at the stone slowly as they slid down each side of her body, "My dear Damatu, I have no doubt you could aid my every need." he said in a sly tone.

His eyes moved up and down her frame as she shifted uneasy under his weight, his own growl rumbling deep from his chest as he let her sit there a moment. There closeness made him shift a bit, she always brought out the animal in him. It wasn't until....

"My King....I'm sorry for the interruption but we need you out here." Guerra said in the shadows of the entrance. He quickly turned his back and headed out to sit beside Danivu and he looked at Jua, "Giza got her...she was going to kill her." he muttered.

Jua's pale blue eyes rolled and she nudged at Kuva who was a bit unresponsive, but her body twitched slightly. "Shes not dead..only knocked out." she said softly.


Giza tossed the antelope's body on the ground and she huffed exhausted from carrying the prey, "Yeah, because Guerra decided to interfere..." she snapped. "Now he's making a scene..."


His voice was deep and loud, "Giza....you did this?" Felix said stepping from the den into the light. He hopped down the ledges and walked around Kuva and Jua, "Well at least she's alive.." he muttered his own yellow eyes admiring the pale coloration of the lioness.

[Applejack]

Damatu allowed herself to be pinned to the wall, not struggling at all. The sheer pleasure of being this close to Felix made her body ache as she looked up at him, her eyes alight with sensuality. "Oh, my king, I would glady do whatever was necessary to satisfy your needs." Her voice as layered with honey as he pressed all his weight against her, pressing her even more tightly to the wall, and suddenly it was lifted off of her as Guerra came in and spoke his quick words to Felix. She sighed at another missed opportunity and followed Felix out. Her eyes quickly picked off the unconcious form of a near-white lioness, and she hissed with distaste. This held no entertainment for her whatsoever. She slid off to the den, avoiding all contact with the gathered group.

Kaput, meanwhile, scampered up closer to the body that was laying on the ground. He extended a confident paw and batted at her head and jumped back. Confident that she was indeed out cold, He walked up to her and hissed softly, batting at her head. As he was about to jump on her, Danivu stepped forward and picked him up by the scruff. Kaput's attitude dropped instantly as he was hauled upwards and propped next to Danivu's current spot. "Respect her, boy," he said sternly. "You never know if she will be friend of foe."

"But, She doesn't look strong enough to beat much more than a feather, let alone me!" He exclaimed, protesting viciously. When Danivu placed a paw over Kaput's muzzle, he nodded slowly and stopped for the moment. After a few moments, Danivu let his paw drop and padded up next to Jua, his dark eyes hinting at worry. "Dear Jua, do you think she'll live?" His eyes examined her closer, noting each fresh cut and bruise. Her almost white fur covered completely with blood, he sighed inwardly. "Giza, you overdo things!" he exclaimed, whipping around furiously to face the lioness. "What if you killed her? She might have been of some use!"

A few minutes later, Kuva blinked, her eyes opening slowly. Her head thudded, and her body ached fiercely. She diddn't know where she was, and she was surrounded by the scent of quite a few unfamiiar lions and lionesses. Her vision slowly came into focus, and though blurry, she saw the shape of an unfamiliar lioness crouched over her. With a whimper, she shrunk against the ground, wishing she could just disappear. Why hadn't they killed her yet? Her voice cracked and weak, she managed to get out in barely a squeak, "Why dont you just kill me... spare me the torture... I meant no one any harm." She closer her eyes tight as she noticed they were all looking at her curiously.

[Songo]

Jua gave small giggle as Danivu taught their son a lesson, she shook her muzzle. Kaput was a piece of work. "Be nice..Kaput..." she said in a hush tone.


Giza rolled her light green eyes at Danivu, "Sorry Danivu, there's only one lioness that will follow and answer your every call in this Pride and thast Jua." she snapped in protest, her ears were flattened back tightly against her cranium. She let out a grunt as the lioness opened her eyes, "See...shes alive. No harm done." she spat.


Jua lifted her head and looked at Giza, "Watch yourself Giza, I wont hesitate to bring back my old ways and rip the flesh from your bones. No one loves you, thats your problem." She growled.

Felix growled loudly, "Silence Both of you!" he snarled. He quickly approached Kuva as she started to speak and his yellow eyes scanned over her light tan body. He growled once more to let everyone know he was tired of their talking, "Listen, just because she is here doesn't mean we forget our duties. Giza, get patrolling. Jua watch over this lioness and when she starts speaking more and cleans herself up bring her to see me." he added in a low tone.

His yellow eyes flickered past his Pride, "Well...What are you waiting for..." he shot at them before leaping up the ledges to his den. He paused and looked to Guerra, "Watch over her and don't let her leave." he added. Instead of going into his own den he followed Damatu's scent and stood at the entrance of her den. The lightening gave a crack and his yellow eyes peered into the darkness, at her frame laying there silently.

/\///\/\/\/\/\/\//\//\///\\\/\/\/\\/\\/\/\/\//\/\/\\\\\\\//\/\\\/


Giza let out a soft whine at Felix's comment to make her patrol around and she growled at Guerra. "You had to bring the fleabag back here.." she snarled before taking her leave to patrol the lands.


Guerra sighed heavily and looked at Jua and then Danivu, " What are we going to do with this..." he grumbled poking her with his paw. "You whats your name?" he said in a low tone of his own.

Jua gave a snort as Giza walked away and she leaned closer to Kuva, "You're safe now. I wont let Giza get you..." she whispered softly to the frightened lioness at her paws.
