[PRIVATE] A Loner's Pride

[Nukascar101]

Wafu paused for a second to think, it's true he respected this lion because of how he acted. In fact this lion almost reminded Wafu of his father which is something he liked and thought he could look up to this lion in nearly the same way he looked up to his father. The lions plan ran through Wafu's mind, now Wafu was really a semi-kind lion at heart but his heart is something he rarely listened to and unfortunately now wasn't one of those rare times. Smirking with evil intent Wafu nodded.
"Yeah I'll join, my name's Wafu by the way" he said to the lion.

Mufalfa laughed at his name. "Well Wafu I hope you are not a 'buffoon.'" He laughed and said to him, "Did that make you angry? Good because you will need that anger to kill these fools. Now think of the moments in your life that made you the most angry and then use that anger to kill these fools." He then said, "And when you kill your first one it is a great feeling." He looked at Wafu and said, "Alright first we have to get back into their good graces so that they may trust us. Make it sound like you are an orphan with no where to go. Make it look like you have no home so those peabrains will feel bad for you.

Do not disappoint me!"

While Mufalfa was talking about being angry Wafu growled and growled to himself thinking of all the times he was angered. The time his mother was killed, being kicked out of his own pride, living as a rogue cub, his father's death and what angered him the most where those other cubs and lions that almost always mocked him because of his eyes. He was snapped out of this and nodded quickly when Mufalfa shouted at him.
"Yes sir" he said quickly and then sighed. He turned in the direction of the others and walked over to them with his head hung low, a worried look and a slight limp on purpose.
"Are you alright? That looked kinda nasty" he said to Sius in a concerned tone.

It would appear to the lioness that she was not incorrect to see that there was indeed something not right about the scene when she entered. Through the thick grasses she spotted a male to appear to think he was all-that and no one was better than him. Who did he think he was, the king of the Pridelands? Luckily he wasn't since that would probably have a mass production of more lions around with no where to go and nothing to but fight each other all the time, and the lands in total chaos. She crouched down to watch him before she flickered her head to the side momentarily spotting another male. What were they doing for the few seconds she was gone? Start a rave party or something? Sheesh, these lions sure had a way of causing drama no matter what.

Where to start? Getting rid of the lions who appeared to be looking for bloodshed to no end, or caring for the injured Sius? He was kind to her so she felt the urgent need to make sure he was alright. But before she advanced onto the scene once more to destroy her leave, she overheard the talk the others were having. While the group she had met were speechless and quiet, this Mulfalfa and Wafu seemed to have a lot to talk about together. And it was about one thing she couldn't stand: hurting others for no reason. There was no other choice! She would have to assert dominance now as she seemed the only to stand a fair chance.

A holler of a roar was beamed through the grasses before she entered in front of Sius, who was now on the ground. There was no doubt in her mind that she had attracted new and old eyes onto her, as she stared the males down before looking to Sius, "you sure know how to talk yourself into the best situations" Zera reasoned sarcastically with him. He didn't look too bad-- he'd be just fine with a little rest and quiet from his mouth for a while. He indeed knew the power of sarcasm, but whether he knew how to use it properly enough or not was out of her comprehension. "Can you stand?"

Sius was indeed in pain. He had fallen to the ground, his stomach bleeding slightly. He closed his eyes to remove the pain from his mind. But it didn't work out the way he had hoped. He still felt the pain on his stomach... the pain that he could have easily avoided. But at least now his friends were safe. He managed to take the bullet... but at what cost?

Lo and behold, upon the horizon, Zera appeared yet again. Sius looked up from his little dirt nap and smiled. His brave, yet incredibly stupid actions, had brought Zera back to the scene. His smile faded as he looked up to the sky and thought Mufasa... was it really worth it? He looked around himself. Taro, Eeve, Syira, and Zera all came to his aid. The wind blew through his mane in a spiritual passion. Without a doubt in his mind, Sius knew that it was Mufasa. Yeah... I think it was. He laid his head down, smiling a huge smile. He might not be the best at winning fights, but he was certainly good at winning friends.

Soon after Zera's return, a younger lion approached Sius and commented on his wound. The lion looked depressed. What's his story? And why is every lion in Africa here? Sius questioned. Even though he was in extreme discomfort, he managed to lay in a position in which he was somewhat comfortable. He had almost fallen asleep. But he couldn't just leave the other lions waiting for a reply from him. Lifting his head up, he looked around the group. "What are you guys lookin' at? I've had worse pain than this." Sius began to stand up, but stopped and winced from absolute pain. He gritted his teeth, and closed his eyes down hard. "Can't think of any right now, but..." He obviously wouldn't be able to stand until he had completely recovered. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Sius became very faint. His eyes seemed to be failing him, as his sight turned to nothing but black. His last words to the group were "Would one of you be a pal and carry me back to my den? It's just north of here... and I don't think I can make it..." His words trailed off as he entered a painful sleep. He wasn't dead, but he wouldn't be awake for a while now.

As soon as the larger male had appeared, Naki had left. Not because he was a coward, No he had something more to do yet. He snuck a long way around and trying to keep hidden, it was his turn to be a spy, and he knew who he was spying on. it took a while and it was painstakingly slow, but he had to stay hidden, he didn't want a fight with the larger lion, even if he was the same age, he would need help.

Eventually he rounded and was standing behind the lioness Zera, hopefully un-noticed, by both her and the others in the group. He silently made her way towards her, before she moved and went to help one of the injured lions. Nakis thought were messed up now, he didn't know what Zera was like at all, but could he sit back and watch them all? Yes he thought as he lay down watching the group without him.

(Sheesh, you guys post too fast. I just posted yesterday and now there are a zillion posts after mine already Also, VM, keep in mind that you can't make your attacks automatically land. You have to let the other person choose whether or not they want them to. :3)

He knew it. Taro knew that walking up to a bunch of males was a very, very bad idea. And now... Now there were two lions to deal with, seeing as the one called Wafu had joined the bully. Taro puffed up in rage.

"Get out of here! You have no business, doing what you are doing!" Taro roared. He couldn't leave without helping the 'pride'...it would have been selfish and uncaring of him to allow such bloodshed without lending his claws to the cause. "Both of you need to get a grip and realize that you're outnumbered. I'll spare you if you walk away, right now. If you don't, then I will have no choice but to FORCE you to leave."

Eeve looked fearfully at her friend, frightened for his well-being. A challenge like that could end up in his death! She stood next to Taro, trying to look braver than she felt.

"He won't be alone," she said, her voice loud. But there was a tiny wavering note that exposed her fear. This wouldn't be an easy fight. "Come on, everyone," she shouted, looking around. "Are we gonna let this piece of hyena dung talk to us or treat us this way? I don't think so!"

{Sorry Zory, ^^; I guess its just too thrilling not to post all the time? Haha.}

Well whoever these new lions were, they sure seemed to have their heads on straight. It had went from dominance to one side and then shifted to the others, almost in the moment she was blinking. To be at Sius's side was important but now she wanted to join Eeve and Taro. Especially Taro. Something about his confidence and caringness of lions he had just met seemed to...draw her to him, for lack of the better term. But she stayed to Sius' side and looked down at him, raising her brow at what he said. Was he trying to act like a moron for a reason, or was it just his nature to cover up that he was in pain? "Yeah, because bleeding out seems to be a normal day thing for you" she wittily replied to him. Where were they coming from? He drew out the inner cynical sarcasm in her, and she just couldn't find a way to stop.

Then cute little Eeve spoke up and joined her...friend? Mate? Brother? What was their relationship together? Zera didn't know why she felt like she needed to know right away, but she did. Though this was probably not the best place to ask, nor the correct time when they were faced with some lions who were willing and ready to kill. And so, to Eeve's sudden burst of confidence with Taro and still standing next to Sius, Zera's mouth opened and out rang a roar in agreement. She wasn't backing down or willing to risk letting the others get hurt now that they had created quite a rally. Why do you just walk into these things, Zera? Why can't you just learn to leave well enough alone?, asked the lioness mentally, staring down the two males...who were they again?

[Nukascar101]

Wafu was surprised at the pride's behavior and took a step back. Had they perhaps overheard his conversation with Mufalfa or where they just being extra cautious right now? Perhaps he just looked suspicious. Whatever the reason it would seem the beginning of the plan wasn't working out. And who was this new female? He could tell she was around his age and from the looks of it she was one with this pride, and they must really want him gone to choose driving him off before helping the stricken lion who lay on the ground. Was he dead or alive? Wafu couldn't tell from where he was.
"What are you talking about? I didn't do anything" Wafu defended himself. "I didn't come here to fight any of you, I was just around. In fact I'v been here for a while now till you guys woke me up"

(Wow, I have a lot to catch up on! o.o)

The lone lioness, namely Syira, was intensely surprised at Sius being beside her so suddenly and even more surprised that he would even want to be near her for what she had said and done to the lions. Her eyes were still tear-stained, although she tried to withhold them from anybody’s sight. When he mentioned how she did not need to fit in, her body froze immediately. Syira’s eyes shone with a new light; a light of hope and love. So Sius was willing to forgive her for her dramatic and ultimately stupid actions towards the other lions? New lions entered the scene quickly; what were they all doing in this place together? She turned defensive quickly, but she withheld as a lioness strode stiffly to her side. Again, someone asked her why she was crying and she smiled weakly at her. “Ah, that’s for over-dramatizing..” she almost giggled, but she stopped as she slowed her words down, “my…life.” Her eyes almost welled with tears again before an apparently ‘handsome’ lion strode into the scene. At least he thought so. Syira rolled her eyes at the lion’s attempts to take a female for his mate. At the rate he was going, the only way he could get a female was by pure force. She was about to mutter something sarcastic, when she was interrupted by the other lion’s scornful talking. Perhaps it would be best if Syira stayed out of this one; she could not afford to risk her newfound friendship with the lions around her by her drama. However, when the new lion, whose name was Mufalfa, slashed Sius, he had gone excessively far. One more strike, thought Syira, her blood boiling, and that kid would be taught a serious lesson.


Although her blood boiled, Syira withheld her growing desire to knock some sense into the stupid lion; she stopped herself as she thought with shame that she had acted that way. Mufalfa, however, actually proved he had strength and could pin down even Sius. Syira did not know Sius’ own strength, so she could not analyze whether she would be killed in fighting or not. Her muscles flexed, prepared to strike at any movement that took a wrong turn for Mufalfa. The lion was menacing, true, although his actions probably meant he really was not as strong as he pretended to be. He could just have slashed Sius surprisingly to show authority, though Sius was taken by surprise. If Sius knew that Mufalfa was going to strike, he probably would have won the fight; the swaggering lion reminded her of herself, unfortunately. Although Syira was very moody and slightly dramatic, she was no fool when things got serious. Obviously, this lion was serious, however strong he was. Her eyes were surprised at Zera’s entering and she quickly rushed to her. “Zera,” she almost whispered, “I-I’m sorry…for being a jerk to you and,” she glanced around at the other lions, “to everybody else. Please forgive me,” she bowed her head down before Zera took her leave towards Mufalfa. The sarcastic tone in her voice brought courage to Syira, and she stood grinning proudly that Zera stood up for Sius. When she issued a fight between the groups, Syira’s blood boiled. These were her friends she was talking about, and she would fight to the death for them; even if she had to sacrifice herself. The lone lioness jumped beside Zera, claws outstretched, and roared tremendously at their foe. She growled and almost laughed as she spat scornfully, “Yeah, you coward; come out and fight us! Or are you going to sit out in the cubby corner telling your mommies you want to go home?” Syira knew that what she said might have stupidly brought uncalled for danger, but if the danger came, she would fight until her friends could leave. She looked at Zera thoughtfully, “Zera,” she asked, “do you think it would be best if one of the more soft-hearted lions escort the unconscious lion and Sius away from here? Perhaps Eve would take them; I’m not sure she’s old enough for experienced battle.” She winked at Zera wittily, “I may seem stupid, my dear, but that doesn’t mean I can’t fight like a tiger!” Her eyes glanced at the place where her foe was at; Syira glanced at Zera again, “Do you really think that this lion could really be much trouble?” she asked, pondering her own question, “he could be just pretending to be very brave and strong. I mean, he took Sius from surprise at the first strike…”


Syira was suspicious at the newcomer who entered; he could be trusted, or he could not be trusted; that is just the way it is. Whether or not he would prove threatening to the group, she sighed, “I suppose you can join us…"she leaned in closely to Wafu. “But between you and me,” whispered Syira, “one false move and you’re a goner…pal.” The ‘pal’ was emphasized in her sentence, indicating that he obviously was not her pal; or at least until she knew his true nature.
