[Private] Songo and Sirom - A Sweet Dream

[CheetahCat]

In a hasty retreat, Kondo followed close behind of Mitsu as they made their way over to where Songo was last spotted in the jungle. With each agonizing step, both lions moved onward towards their destined location as small chattering voices can be heard from a distance. The dark furred king couldn't distinguish the two sets of voices and decided to restrict his speed down by a little to move at a more stealthy rate. Mitsu on the other paw carried on ahead more expeditious as her figure was getting tinier and tinier by every second until her lioness frame was no longer present.

Kondo maintained a stealth approach, moving along the rummage path where his fierce orange eyes caught a glimpse of Mitsu's paw prints on the earth's flimsy soil. He can tell he was getting closer to where all of the commotion was taking place from how loud their voices were getting. Remaining obscure from everyone else, Kondo spotted a clearing up ahead and took refuge nearby a small bush to further conceal his identity.

Popping his furry head out of the bush, the Nalrisu King anchored his orangery eyes on three lions that were verbally arguing amongst themselves. One these lions was Viku, whom he told to remain on scout patrol until further notice.

"What is Viku doing here?"

Words couldn't describe how disarray Kondo felt as he paid attention on what was being said. Staying quiet and motionless, the tawny furred male continued to listen intently as those alarming words of, 'Traitor' came out of Mitsu's ebony muzzle. Becoming even more baffled, Kondo shifted his position and easily moved out from his temporary hiding place to reveal his existence.

Promptly moving onward where Mitsu, Songo and Viku were stationed, Kondo's barbaric eyes fixated on Mitsu as she was making her way over towards him in a disgusted aspect. Slowing down his quicken pace, Kondo concentrated on what she was saying about Viku allowing Songo to escape the Nalrisu Lands. Already in a state of anger, Kondo took a deep breath before replying in a calm demeanor.

"Thank you Mitsu, I'll take it from here. You've served me well. I might actually allow you to stay in my den for a night."

Kondo winked teasingly in her direction. Directly after his small conversation with Mitsu, Kondo turned his concentration back on Songo and Viku. The thoughts of Viku betraying his pride agitated him to a extent as he commenced on ahead towards both lions, closing the distance between all three of them as the tawny furred male spoke up in a bothered tone.

"My my my... Viku, you've changed, haven't you? Your attitude really perplexes me sometimes."

Kondo discontinued his approach, coming to a halt as he was only a paws step away from Viku.

Viku was speechless and averted his attention from Kondo. Now that the Nalrisu King was present, he can finally confess what's been bothering him all this time as he spoke in a more austere tone.

"Kondo, look... I didn't want to cause any trouble, but you're making some sort of mockery out of me. I don't regret what I've done and I'm not willing to listen what you're going to tell me. I've taken too much of your nonsense to even care now."

Instantly after Viku concluded his speech, the slender, flaxen lion lunged forward at his degenerate king to promote Songo enough time to escape.

[Songo]

Songo’s crystal blue eyes widened as she watched Viku launch himself at Kondo and she froze as she quickly looked at Mitsu. Noticing the lioness was stunned at the same scene Songo slipped into the bushes, she quickly made her way into the jungle. Songo’s paws smacked the hard earth as she ran as fast as she could, every few steps she glanced over her shoulder to see if she was being followed. Feeling her body weigh down heavy on her Songo’s legs buckled and she slid in the dirt to a stop. She slowly glanced around the area and spotted a small lake connected to the river and she sighed, did she run farther away from Sirom?


------------------------------------------&----------------------------------------------------------------------


Realizing Songo was escaping Mitsu quickly ran after her, her older bones trying to match the pace of the younger lioness. Her oceanic eyes peered through the bushes as she slowly stepped towards Songo. Realizing Kondo was still busy with Viku, Mitsu figured she’d take the lioness into her own paws.


Mitsu realized she had one moment to slow down Songo and decided to go for it. Throwing herself out of the bushes Mitsu stepped and launched herself at Songo tackling her into the water. She felt the cold liquid suck them under and the dirt slowly washed off the old lioness. As Mitsu pulled herself back onto the ground her dirty stained pelt washed clean and her chocolate brown shown through.


------------------------------------------&----------------------------------------------------------------------

Songo felt herself get tackled into the chilling water and her body got tangled between Mitsus. As Songo gasped for air and clawed at the ledge she slowly threw her body out of the lake. Her blue eyes glancing at Mitsu for a moment and then back to her own body, she made sure she was intact. “You…You..” Songo’s words were cold and short spoken as she gazed at Mitsu.


Tears filled her eyes as she noticed the coloring on the older liones, “Mom..How could you..!!” she growled angrily. She closed her eyes tightly as the tear drops slid over her furry cheeks and she opened them once more, “I thought you were dead..”

Observing the scenery before him, the brown furred male wasn't expecting anything as he took notice of Viku's sudden approach, showing great deal of determination on his part to try and take him down in retaliation. Without any warning, Viku abruptly lunged at Kondo. The spiteful king didn't react in time as Viku's furry body came crashing into his own, instantly knocking the evil lion flat on his furry amber back. Displeased and malevolent, Kondo wasn't going to tolerate anymore nonsense from his dependable companion as an immense sized fore paw made its way upward towards Viku's flaxen colored furry cheeks at expeditious speeds, basically giving Viku no chance whatsoever to react in time.

Fortunately for Viku, Kondo's keen like fore claws weren't present this time as the considerable sized fore paw came crashing into the golden lion's fuzzy cheeks with a satisfying bash, causing an instantaneous stun to overwhelm the defenseless Viku. Immediately after his calamitous assault, showing no signs of refraining anytime soon, the Nalrisu King pressed both of his muscular hind paws against the stunned lion's pelvis and gave a mighty push to try and abstract their distance.

Couple of seconds later, Kondo's orangery eyes were watching in amusement as Viku's weaken body went soaring through the air helplessly. Shortly after, the physically suffering lion came crashing into the earth with a noisy thump, yet showing no signs of restrain as he went gliding across the crummy terrain.

A delight smile began to form around Kondo's ebony muzzle lips as he was ascending back up on all fours. Fascinated on what he achieved, the Nalrisu King slowly made his way over towards the collapsed golden lion, speaking in a selfish voice.

"You're pitiful Viku, did you honestly think a lunge like that was going to stop me? You threw all your might in one attack and here you are, defeated right before my royal paws. I gave you a future and this is how you repay me?"

Not far from where Songo and Mitsu were positioned, Sirom hastily made his way over to where he can perceive Songo's exhilarating scent. Time couldn't tell when he'll arrive to her destination, but the sounds of two lionesses engaging in a conversation really caught his attention as the courageous lion continued to accelerate ahead, deliberately closing the distance between them little by little.

After a few minutes of trekking through deplorable, contaminated landscape, Sirom came to a slow stop and altered his attention to a nearby tree. The two mysterious voices he heard earlier sounded like they were coming behind of this particular tree and one of those voices awfully resembled Songo's. Feeling his heart rate hasten against his sturdy chest and without thought, Sirom dashed off in the direction of this sensational large plant, speaking in a worried tone in anticipation to hear his lioness' sweet, affectionate voice.

"Songo? Are you over here? Please answer me!"

[Songo]

Mitsu slowly stepped towards Songo and her oceanic eyes flickered with anger, “But you left me to die…Viku had me at his mercy and you left me and your pride…to die. “ she growled coldly. Mitsu slowly circled Songo and she flashed her claws, “Kondo saved my life…” she added.

------------------------------------------&----------------------------------------------------------------------


Songo’s eyes followed Mitsu and she shook her head, “I didn’t…I’m sorry..i got scared..” she mumbled stepping back towards the water. She shivered slightly and heard Sirom’s voice, “Sirom!! Im over here…” she stepped towards Sirom’s voice.
Songo turned her head back to look at Mitsu, “What about papa…did Viku kill him..?” she asked her curiously. She tried to keep the older lioness busy while she waited for Sirom to find her.


------------------------------------------&----------------------------------------------------------------------


Mitsu let out a laugh and she watched Songo closely, “Your fate has been sealed since your father broke free of his own pride. Do you really think becoming King was so simple...I thought I had raised a smarter daughter.” she griped. Mitsu reclined back to her hinds smoothly and looked at Songo hard, a sigh escaping her muzzle lips. “Your father gave up your freedom and choice back before you were born. He got freedom from his old pride, but he had to give away a piece of his new one.” she said quietly. “Since you were a girl, he didn’t think they would ever come for you.”
