Location:

This RP is going to start off near a small oasis that is surrounded by vegetation. Traveling to Pride Rock will take a day or two. There's a small jungle that is enclosed by bountiful of trees and wildlife. The Nalrisu Lands are very close to the jungle area, but it's more contaminated and easy to distinguish.

With that out of the way, we'll start off with Kondo uncovering more land to seek other lions and lionesses to add into his small quantity of pride members. Mind you, he's traveling alone.

The Great Circle Of Life was ascending high into the morning skies, illuminating everything in its path with bright yellowish light. The rays of light traveled along a small hill and came into contact with a grumpy looking lion. The tawny furred male opened up those fierce orange eyes and rolled over onto his furry stomach. Sluggishly moving up on all fours, a forceful and ponderous lion emerged from the shadows and shook out his fully grown mane to get any debris that refuse to abscond. When everything seemed in order, Kondo arched out his powerfully built body for a much needed stretch and slipped out a low purr. After he was finished with his customary routine, Kondo glanced over in the direction where he was trekking. He left the Nalrisu Lands the day before and made progress near a small oasis that was surrounded by vegetation and abundant of wildlife. When it came to edible creatures, Kondo only noticed wildebeest and a few zebra roaming around near the waterhole that wasn't too far off from where he was situated.

Observing the scenery momentarily, Kondo's furry belly gave a small rumble.

"Mmm... My appetition for power isn't the only thing I'm after." The dark furred male mumbled in a whisper, fixating his tangerine eyes on one of the wildebeest that were close by. A easy kill like this wasn't ordinary around these parts of lands and Kondo felt too lazy to even make any sort of effort to hunt for his own food. Disregarding the wildebeest for now, Kondo thought it was best to move on to see if he can find any lions or lionesses that will benefit him for a stronger pride.

The Nalrisu King took one moment to gander at the wildebeest as he prepared himself for another long hike on the consistent path. When he was all ready, Kondo's pitch black nose suddenly acquired a extraordinary scent that was remote. Taking this moment to familiarize with this exhilarating scent, the tawny furred male assumed it was a female of his own species. A smile assembled across his ebony muzzle lips.

"Excellent, a new furry face to see." Kondo anticipated to himself.

The auburn furred male grinned partially and diverted his path, taking his first step in the direction where this thrilling scent was coming from. Even though it was a bit remote, he had a likelihood chance of meeting this new stranger.

A lone figure made its way through the heavy foliage that surrounded the adorning landscape. A pair of yellow eyes surveyed every little detail that could be taken in from the vantage point given and only the soft sounds of paw steps, mixed with the occasional light breath could be heard as the figure broke through a clearing within the dense jungle, revealing the sight of a warn looking lioness, her snow white fur a jumbled mess with leaves and flora sticking to her pelt. Grumbling in an extremely irritated manner, the white furred lioness hastily pawed away the unwelcome passengers from her fur, causing the well crafted buffalo hide pouch that was securely fastened around her neck, to sway precariously with every little movement she took.

Finally ridding herself of the last remaining leaves that covered her slender body, the young lioness’ eyes searched for something in particular as she once more, started forward, on an unknown path with destiny. Pausing from time to time, the curious looking feline would examine the various plants and flowers that she came across, mentally debating amongst herself if they held any importance to her or not. As she traveled, her posture clearly showed her cautious nature, as every little noise that her swiveled ears picked up resulted in her freezing in mid stride to scent the air before she would proceed onwards.

After traveling through the lush environment that engulfed her and after gathering a few desired herbs that were quickly tucked away within her precious little pouch, the young lioness’ ears perked up once more, this time, causing her to cease all actions as her nose picked up the scent of another feline. Acting quickly, as she could gauge the gender of the approaching creature, the white furred lioness bid a hasty retreat backwards, accidentally tripping over her own hind paws in her rush to escape, causing her to topple onto the ground with a muffled thud, a torrent of profanities spilling from her muzzle as she tried to regroup herself as quickly as possible.

Progressing on moderately through a blotchy path, the impertinent male was getting more abrupt on how these inconsequential obstacles of bushes and twigs were getting in the way. Along the way, the coarse king slowly came to a stop and fixated his orangery eyes on a large branch. Directly after coming in contact with this impeding nuisance, he gave a big swipe with one his immense size fore paws, hitting the monstrous branch destructively with great results. Consecutively, a loud snap can be heard and the large branch soon came down crashing with a dull crash.

After finishing his small chore, green foliage came plunging down onto his sensitive pelt. The amused male ignored this and advanced on ahead, moving on through a now narrow path as minor breaks of twigs can be heard after each step he took. During his confined route, the bitter feline can sense that this other feline wasn't too far off from his physical position. Ultimately reaching the ending point of this mysterious maze, the tawny colored lion hurdled over a branch and landed softly in a more open clearing. He anchored his orangery eyes on every sapling that were within dimension and inhaled intensely to try and pin point where this concealed feline was settled.

In a short time after he smelled in this feline's stimulating scent, a blaring sound of someone crashing caught the immoral lion's attention. His pivoting fuzzy ears spontaneously perked up as he glanced over where this strange sound took place. Acting contiguously, the tawny furred male lowered his immeasurable body close to the ground as he advanced on ahead in a stealthy approach, making sure not to cause any sort of disturbance along the way.

After traveling in a secretive and quiet approach, the depraved male came to a slow-moving stop to see if he can locate who caused the distraction earlier. The exhilarating scent transpiring from this exotic feline was growing stronger and was suggested that whoever it was, they have to be close by in this vicinity. With his bright orangery eyes scanning thoroughly around the area, something instantly caught his attention. Not too far from where he was situated, a abnormal looking feline could be seen reorganizing herself. The brownish furred male squinted his eyes to try and get a better visual examination to determine what kind of species it was.

Without a doubt, it had to be a lioness. Her incomparable appearance intrigued the powerfully built lion as he moved up on all fours and cautiously padded over to where she was regrouping. When he was closing the distance between the two, her heavy flow of foul language stained his elevated ears as a quiet snicker escaped his inky muzzle lips. Coming dangerously close to her presence, the curious male discontinued his stealthy approach and absorbed this lioness' physique. His colossal sized body over towered her more slender composition unquestionably. Getting near this lioness was no problem seeing how her oral profanity camouflaged his steps.

A menacing smile formed around the astound male as he spoke up in a inscrutable tone.

"My, aren't we in a bad mood? Tell me, what's your name princess. I've never seen a unique looking lioness such as yourself. What business do you have around near my lands? I insist that you do not run off, doing so will only make this harder on yourself."

[KiarasMate]

Utterly consumed by her own moral dilemma and clumsy ways, the white furred lioness didn’t take any notice to the approaching male’s presence until his voice met her ears, causing her to dash to her paws as she whirled about, facing the direction to which the voice had traveled from. Taking in the sight before her, the young lioness did her best to conceal the anxiety that was slowly churning within her being. Examining the male lion in front of her as thoroughly as she could, noting his bright red mane and overly regal stance, giving her the impression of just how old this feline might be. Locking her yellow orbs onto the male’s orange ones, the white furred lioness stood rigid, her tail flicking behind her in a dangerous manner as she stealthily unsheathed her claws as she spoke in a rather bold voice, keeping her body poised to either run if need be, or strike if the situation called for such actions.

”Your Lands? Humph. Am I supposed to be impressed or intimidated, hmm? Just to let you know, most lions actually rule over lands with others. Now, unless you have some sort of business with me, I’d suggest you back off before you do something that you’ll surely regret.”

Taking a blind stabbing guess that this male was alone, as she didn’t sense any other creatures around and the way that this lion paraded about, as well as the look in his eyes, it gave the white furred lioness enough confidence to call his bluff. Slowly beginning to inch her way backwards, just to put a bit of distance between her and this foreign feline in front of her, the young lioness’ instincts told her not to run, although given the clear chance, she wouldn’t hesitate to make a break for it. For now however, she observed the situation in front of her, looking for any momentary laps of judgment from the larger lion that she could capitalize upon. Seeing that he wasn’t backing down however, the white furred lioness continued to badger him as she also crept backwards little by little.

”Don’t give me that look. I’ve seen it before and if you think even for a second that I’ll give into whatever sick ideas are running through that hallow head of yours, you can forget it! Do us both a favor and take a hike.”

[CheetahCat]

Maintaining a more regal stance, the orange furred lion kept those fierce tangerine eyes attached on the white furred lioness, contemplating on what her initial reaction would be as she whirled around to confront him. To his astonishment, she showed no real signs of running away as her bold voice broke their brief silence. Fixating his eyes on her bright yellowish orbs, the dispassionate male soaked in on what she saying. When her courageous voice trailed off, the brownish furred male suspended his tail indolently before responding in a more sour, but intimidating voice.

"What I'm going to regret? You obviously have no idea who you're talking to princess. I'm, Kondo. King of the Nalrisu Lands. Do you know how severely close you are to my territory? Besides, I wasn't going to initiate any physical assault because if I honestly wanted to, I could've done it back there where you weren't paying attention. And believe me, when it comes to depriving another lion or lioness, I show no remorse."

Kondo deemed that this white furred lioness was on her own, giving him the impression that she was just another wandering adventurer. He was unaware that her jagged, keen like fore claws were exposed as the coppery-brown lion's orange spheres were too occupied on the lioness' fascinating peepers. The distance between the both of them were flourishing larger which caught Kondo's attention instantaneously. A bigger smile developed around the immoral male's ebony muzzle lips as he took a few steps forward, closing their distance once more. Predicting this enthralling lioness was going to make a run for it, Kondo sprawled out his fore legs effectively to indicate that he was prepared for any senseless activity that is compelled to happen. Realizing that the white furred lioness wasn't going to back down, Kondo eased his tension and spoke up in a deceiving tone.

"Like I said, running away isn't going to save that cute back end of yours princess, so I advise you don't do anything stupid. You will just make a fool out of yourself and I'm sure you wouldn't want that. So I'm going to ask you one last time, what is your name and what business do you have around here?"

The dark brownish male scrunched his orangery eyes to adjust on a buffalo hide pouch that was fasten around the lioness' furry neck. Perplexed by this accessory, Kondo took another step forward to ensure he'll have the favored position as he spoke up again in a confounded voice.

"What do you have around your neck? Since when do lionesses where accessories, huh? That better not be any sort of weapon."

[KiarasMate]

Listening to Kondo explain just who he was, the white furred lioness couldn’t help but to scowl as she took advantage of the situation, pretending to think for a moment before she retorted in a sarcastic voice.

”Kondom? Hmm, nope, sorry, doesn’t ring a bell. You must not be that great of a king or I would have at least heard of you, as I’ve traveled near and far.”

Eyeing the red maned lion carefully, seeing that he was still insistent on advancing towards her, the young lioness took a few more steps backwards until her hind quarters connected softly with a tree, causing the white furred lioness to tense up slightly, now that her secondary escape route was cut off. Taking up an even more offensive stance, in hopes of at least provoking the much larger feline to strike first, that way, she could at least calculate his attack and maybe dodge and outrun him, her ears perked once more as she heard him repeating his question from earlier, invoking an exasperated growl to leave her muzzle as she verbally snapped back at him.

”My name is Zina and I told you before, my business here is none of YOUR business.”

Hearing Kondo’s next inquiry about the pouch around her neck, Zina found herself a tad bit less intimidated by this supposed king, as he had no idea about just what sort of lioness she was. Building up a bit more courage, the white furred lioness boldly took a step forward as she continued to verbally harass Kondo.

”Pfft, you call yourself a king, yet you don’t know a Shaman when you see one? Pretty pathetic, don’t you think? I’m a Traveling Shaman, if that makes any difference to you, and now that you’ve been informed about me, I suggest you step aside so I can take my leave. I have no interest in your lands and even less interest in you yourself, so why don’t you run along and go rule over your make believe lands and leave us sane creatures to our own accord.”

Figuring she had made her point very clear now, Zina started to walk forward, keeping a keen eye on Kondo and keeping her stance so that her hind quarters were always as far away from the unknown male as was physically possible. Having no idea on which way to go however, but just wanting to distance herself from the large male, once there was about a few paws length away from Kondo and spotting an opening, Zina bolted like a flash of white lightning, her paws carrying her swiftly through the dense jungle. Travel was slow however, due to her unfamiliarity with the lay of the lands, causing her getaway to be quite delayed. Feeling her heart racing as she knew that if, in fact, this lion did rule over these lands, than he would be much more accustom to them and perhaps even would catch her. Shaking her head wildly, refusing to think of such disturbing thoughts, Zina ran as fast as her legs would allow, although due to the lack of sustenance that the young lioness was running off of and more so, the thick vegetation that slowed her pace, things weren’t looking up for a clean escape.

[CheetahCat]

Kondo kept a close eye on that abstruse pouch that was secured around the white furred lioness' neck. He never seen such a thing before and if there was any signs it pointed to some armament, he'll positively disarm her without hesitation. After awhile, he heard the sarcastic tone of the white furred lioness intrude into his ears. When she was finished having her way, Kondo couldn't tolerate her ignorance as he replied in a more opposing voice.

"I don't appreciate your sense of humor, princess. If you're going to keep this up, you will end up like the other contemptible creatures."

Eying contiguously on her appealing figure, Kondo wasn't going to reiterate any longer and he wouldn't allow such a rare lioness such as this one slip from his craving paws this easily. Tarrying on in a more aggressive posture, Kondo carefully watched as the white furred lioness backed up into a tree. A revolting chuckle escaped his raven colored muzzle lips as he took another step forward, acknowledging that sufficient position will keep this lioness at bay in his grasp. Even though they were small intervals apart, Kondo kept his orangery cunning orbs anchored on the lioness as she was announcing her name and what significance purpose she had here. In spite of her bad-mannered verbal assault, Kondo took one more additional step to close their distance precisely as his swivel ears perked up to receive another harassment in regards to her ridiculous pouch.

After her bold choice of words trailed off, Kondo fabricated a reduced intimidating growl. His pride was literally battered as he focused on the lioness attentively, waiting for any signs of evasion on her behalf. Directly after their intense stare battle, Kondo observed the white furred shaman's direction as she separated both of them at paws length. Anticipating her every movement, Kondo was about to say something until the lioness instantly bolted in great outbursts.

Without delay, Kondo pursued the lioness at great speeds, hurriedly trying to catch up with her departing figure. The compressed jungle made things difficult as Kondo altered his path to the right, taking a small shortcut to try and cut the frighten lioness off. Continuing on ahead, the determined male heightened his speed and ventured on ahead, the loud crackling of branches and leaves indicated where the lioness was positioned. Feeling that he was just about in front of her, Kondo echoed a fearsome growl and leaped out to the left with outstretched fore paws.

The deranged male penetrated through a thick layer of green foliage and came crashing into the lioness at breathtaking speeds, pinning her completely on her slender furry back. Instantly after impact, Kondo pinned the lioness down with both of his immense, almighty fore paws, shifting his large paws up onto her fluffy chest.

A wide grin formed around Kondo's satisfied muzzle lips as he lowered his brownish haunches on Zina's mid section to apply much needed weight so she couldn't pull off another fruitless stunt. Maintaining a collected nature, Kondo spoke up in a impassive, but irritated tone.

"Remember what I told you earlier? This is only my soft side and let me tell you, I can REALLY show you how bad I can get. You're lucky I have some interest in you, princess. Also, do you expect me to believe that absurd pouch of yours is some healing equipment? Get real."

[KiarasMate]

Continuing to flee for her life through the dense vegetation, Zina had no idea if, in fact, Kondo was even giving chase, as her ears only picked up the loud rustling of foliage around her, as well as the deafening sound of her rapidly beating heart. It wasn’t until she had cleared a bit of distance between where she was and not hearing any sounds around her, other than the fore-mentioned ones, did Zina even begin to relax. Unfortunately for the white furred Shaman, the reality of the situation quickly hit home, quite literally actually, as her ears were filled with a loud roar, followed by Kondo’s suffocating weight atop her. Screaming in sheer terror, Zina’s body wriggled wildly below the massive male’s frame, trying desperately to free herself from her captor, but to no avail. Hissing furiously, Zina’s fore paws lunged towards the domineering male’s neck, only to be halted from Kondo’s forceful nature, which quickly immobilized any further resistance from her as she lay still, a cold look running rampant within her stare as she growled contemptuously and spoke in a malicious voice.

”Get off of me you filthy bastard! I didn’t do anything to you! I don’t care about your lands! I just want to leave!”

Keeping her hind legs tightly closed to deny Kondo access to any part of her body that she didn’t wish him to trespass upon, Zina’s eyes emanated the pure hatred that she was feeling towards the male atop her. He was just like all the rest she had encountered and by Zina’s count, he would probably try and take something from her that every other male had tried to, before him. Zina wasn’t about to let him have his way with her, regardless of the predicament she was currently in. Thinking swiftly, Zina quickly spat out.

”I’m warning you! I have some really nasty herbs in my fur. One wrong move on your part and believe me, you’ll wish you had heeded my warning.”

Swallowing hard, as she knew this wasn’t the truth, although the concoction of herbs to which she had spoke of, did reside neatly within her pouch, not doing her much good at the given time however, but still, if a bluff was her only ticket to surviving this hellish nightmare that this brutish male was surely going to put her through, than Zina would cling to it for all it was worth.

[CheetahCat]

Pressing both of his immense fore paws against Zina's furry chest harder, Kondo paid attention to her expletive yelling. When her blaring voice came to a stop, the brown furred male hissed scarcely and spoke up in his own rambunctious tone.

"Don't you EVER yell at me again! How dare you to insult a formidable king such as myself?! You're REALLY pushing your luck now princess!"

Kondo felt Zina's hindquarters muddle around against his haunches, signifying that she was panic-stricken that he'll perform a erotic approach. The thought of dominating this exceptional lioness brought tingles to course around Kondo's inner hind legs. Even though he'll love to engage in this sort of undertaking, the brownish furred male controlled his stimulating maleness and pressed both of his enormous fore paws harder into the white furred shaman's furry chest once more. Her thrilling scent loitered around heavily, clouding the older male's senses as he coughed startlingly. Every time his sensitive nostrils extracted more of her alluring scent, Kondo can feel his loins become sexually active.

After a long pause, Kondo's fuzzy ears perked up to hear Zina spat out something about her poisonous herbs. This alarmed the brown furred male as his forceful fore paws were moving off of her chest to try and restrain her from enforcing on such a act. Kondo wasn't educated around that aspect and he wasn't sure if this was some bluff. He wasn't going to take the chance as he sluggishly moved off of the white furred lioness, keeping his orangery eyes fixated on her glamorous figure. Once he was up on all fours, Kondo spoke in a persuasive voice, hoping to avoid this inconvenient situation.

"Look, Zina. Don't even go there, I wasn't... I wouldn't do anything to you, physically. I uh... I was just passing by to see if I can find anymore lions or lionesses who will be willing to join my pride. You can take your leave if you so desire, just don't infect me with whatever you have in there."

Kondo observed his situation and took a few paces back, allowing more freedom for the white furred lioness to trek on wherever she wished. Deep down, he'll hope she will stick around and perhaps get closer to him so he will have an opportunity to disarm her of that hazardous pouch.
