OOC: The story thus far...which will be writen into my African tail's series.... goes as thus.
Me and Simba are on a journey to the Heartlands and then to the north into pride valley where Malaika's true family was, the valley pride. also where the great pride wars of theeast was fought. There Malaika is to find the truth about his family. That they posess the power of the land. while at the same time being on the lookout for rouges of the eastern prides whom of which doesn't like the Heartland pride for the simple fact of the great pride wars. And Malaika's great uncle Chaos is behind the great poacher wars that took place a few seasons ago in which cost Malaika his memory and hurt those around him. after time he was able to gain his meory back. he swore to always protect simba and so when he received a final message from his father, Shujaa, to return to the heartlands he allowed simba to follow. where are at the point where we just met mizani and havn't realized that a lioness near-by has fainted.
-
"Mizani" She smiled bowing her head as a geusture of courtesy.
"Pleased to meet you both, Simbaji and Malaika" She paused breifly
"now about that hunt..."
Mizani's finely tuned hearing alerted her to an animal lurking somewhere in the grass.
She whirled around
"Who is there?"
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
I'm talking about Titus's char:uhno:
-
Titus wakes and trys to get back on his feet. As soon as he got to his feet he walks slowly out of the grass not knowing that someone is there. as soon he walked out of the grass he colapsed again. Panting and panting he tried to breath slow so he can continue what he was doing, but he feels so dehydrated that he can't stop panting and he fainted once more.
-

-
Mizani gasped as the lion lay unconcious before them.
She cautiously walked over to the lion and gentley patted his head.
He didn't move except for his slow breathing.
"er, Malaika? little help here?"
-
Titus looks up with fuzziness in his eye's "wat...er.....i need......water".
and trys to stay awake cus if he fainted again he may never wake up.
-
With a quick sigh of thankfullness for the interuption Malaika got up with a stern look and raced over to the lions side.
"We must get this poor creature out of the sun. There should be a waterhole to the south of here. It's a few hours walk but we must make haste."
With all his strength Malaika lifted the lion onto his back and lokoed back at the other two.
"I need you two to fallow closely and make sure no one will try to ambush us. This may be a trap but I'm not going to let anyone die. I've seen to many die. Lets move."
-
Mizani looked behind her, realising what Malaika said could have some truth in it.
She looked at Simbaji.
"Guess hunting will have to wait" She sighed
-
ON: Vala sat quietly by the waterhole and lapped it up gently. The heat was exhausting, and she didn't plan at all to stay out all day and turn roasty toasty in it's grasp.
OFF: I'm thinking I meet Mala and Titus at the water hole while I'm lappin' it all up?

simba nodded to Mizani. Most of his guard had been let down by now. The akward chance meeting hadn't turned out so bad afterall and Mizani seemed pretty nice. He did have to admit though that it seemed strange how he and Malaika had traveled so long and far without meeting any others to all of a sudden come upon not only Mizani, but now this other rogue. Even as he began to follow Malaika and Mizani he knew somewhere in the back of his mind that it could be dangerous to become too comfortable with situations that warrented caution, even in the best of turnabouts, on such short notice. Still, things seemed well enough and even though hunger still sought his small form, a drink of water before going off to hunt didn't sound all that bad either.
ooc: welcome aboard : )
-
OFF: Just be careful that I don't sink yer boat now that I'm aboard! mwahahahahaha
-
ooc: you know what, what my avatar looks like i'm thinking insted of 15 make that 17 in human years.
-
Malaika huffed under the weight of the half concious lion. Ocasionaly he would look back at Simbaji and Mizani to make sure they were keeping close by. He didn't want to have to drop the lion and kill anyone. He didn't want to but he would if he had too.
"Keep up. We're not far now."
He called back at the others as he tried to pick up his own pace.
-
Mizani gazed out in front of her. The water hole was not far off and she could see the herds taking a drink.
She licked her lips.
"Any chance that we could hunt while at the water hole, Malaika?"
-
The young rouge was more confused then ever. What the heck was actually going on? She was more confused then what she was before. After viewing a poorly looking teenage leonine fall several times. Was he ill? Or just zapped by the dreadful heat that swamped the entire land around them, every now a soft cool breeze would pass gracefully. Method's eyes scanned closely, she was more curious of the minority group that seemed to grow by the second. Her entire frame slunk lowly into the dangerous weeds of death, following them from a safe distance. She kept surveying them, ebon lips seemed to switch into a small haunting smirk.
-
simba followed the group as they made their way towards their destination, at least the one that was most immediate for now. As he watched the older ones talk and make conversations as they may, as grown-ups often do, he started to let his path diverge slightly, letting the distance widen ever so slightly from the others. He wasn't going to wander off all by himself, but that didn't mean that he couldn't give himself a little berth to explore the trailways they were on.
-
Malaika's stopped just short of the waterhole and carefully laid the lion down. Something didn't feel right to him.
"Mizani, take care of this lion. Someone's out there. I don't know if there friendly but I will find them."
He looked around for simbaji but didn't see him. Cursing himself he turned back to Mizani again.
"Where's simbaji?"
-
Mizani was confused by Malaikas question and she turned around, to find that indeed Simbaji was gone.
"he was here a minute a go....."
She sniffed the ground trying to find his scent.
"from what I can smell he hasn't gone far"
She looked at the unconcious lion.
"I'll look after the lion and you go find Simbaji. If there is something out there then Simbaji won't be safe alone" Mizani muttered, padding over to the lion.
-
Titus, even though he was half concious, knew something is wrong and doesn't feel right sence it start to fel more bad, he started thinking about the situtation and tried to resolve it and fix it, but he is so weak he couldn't possibly do anything, he thought he was done.
-
Malaika paced back and forth sizing up the situation. part of him thought that he should seek out the danger and neutralize it while the other thought but what about simbaji? He had to make a quick decision. perhaps it was best that he actually take control of the situation and seek out that trouble since simbaji may be in danger.
"Mizani, if simbaji shows up keep him here while I search the tall grass for anything suspicious. When I come back and ONLY only when I com back may you hunt for food. in the mean time watch for simbaji and help this poor lion."
With that he leapt into the tall grass and stopped a few meters away. He closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the world around him hoping the earth would give him some hint as to where, if there were, any danger might be. Listening intently he heard the sound of a heartbeat. Not his own but of anothers. It was calm and smooth, the sound of your heart beat when hiding silently waiting to strike your prey. In a deep menacing voice he spoke.
"I know your out there. I can feel your heartbeat. I'm not here to tell you what's going to happen. You already know the out come. I leave you with a choice. Either come out of hiding or I hunt YOU down and we'll take things from there. I leave this choice to you."
-
Mizani nodded in agreement as Malaika dissapeared into in the grass.
She strolled over to the lion and gently licked a bit of dirt off his face.
She splashed some water in his face hoping to wake him up.
"hello?"
-
Titus finaly conious from the splashes if water. "Where am I and who bought me here?" he layed ther for i min. so he can gain his strength.
-
Mizani jumped back a little, suprised at the lions quick recovery.
"you are at a water hole and a... friend of mine brought you here"
Mizani thought it wise not to give out to much infomation on Malaika, Simbaji or herself.
Besides, she had answered all of the lions questions so far. Now to ask some of her own.
"are you alright?"
-
"a little." Titus know's something is'nt right he think that she thinks he's in impostor or something. Titus trys to keep his cool and play along. He sits up and drinks from the water hole.
-
Mizani watched the lion drink while looking out for Malaika or Simbaji, or a herd she could hunt from later.
"so where you from?" Mizani asked casually.
-
simba hadn't realized that, despite his having tried to stay close, apparently he had wandered further from the group than he had intended. He hadn't even recalled the sounds of the others getting fainter as the distance between them grew. Of course he had been so focused on his own surroundings that it probably wouldn't have been hard. Ironic that even while trying to keep so keen a watch on other aspects of where he was going that he could miss other signs and sounds. Such behaviors had landed him in plenty of trouble in the past before. It was almost like a mix of not being able to hold one's attention for too long on any one given thing and over-focusing on others.
Stopping where he was at he tried to take stock of where he was at. The wall of amber blades that so well secluded lions and others when they needed cover for one reason or another seemed to taunt and betray his needs now. He could see no one. He looked from side to side. Nothing. Nothing but the endless expanse of tall grass. He dared to try and perch on his hind paws a moment to get a better view but to no avail. Briefly he considered calling out to the others but thought better of it. Malaika had warned of the dangers of being out here and he was certainly no stranger to knowing how perilous things could get for an unguarded cub in the wild. Still, he had to think of something.
Try as he might he could come up with no plan to end his situation quickly. With that the only thing he could think of to do was to sit and wait for now. All his efforts would have to be focused on listening for friend or foe alike. Moving or any other activity that could give his position away would have to wait until it were his only option left. With any luck he could hear the others. He kept his breathing soft and even, his eyes trainned all but futily on the area around him. For now he could only wait, and hope.
-
Titus finishes drinking from the water hole and starts to feel his heart drop into sadness what this lioness said he didn't cry because of it Titus just stared at his reflection in the water of the water hole next to the shore. "I'm not from any where, you see, i have no one, my family and the pride i stayed with died when i was cub, I was the only survivor."
-
"oh"
Mizani felt guilty for bringing it up
"sorry I didn't know"
-
Titus sighs "i might as well tell you what happened" Titus takes a deep breath and starts talking" My father was a great king my family had all the fame and glory i of course was going to take his place when his ruling was over, tell one day, an evil pride came, the leader captured my father the leader asked him to jion him and his pride, my father refused, without a warning the leader killed him, i loved my father, and the leader killed my mother and sisters they wiped out the whole pride, i was the only one who lived. When i got stronger then that day i challenged the leader to a fight, i of course failed, i didn't left any marks on him, but he gave me this" Titus shows the marks on his cheeks.
-
Mizani shuddered at the lions gruesome tale.
"thats awful!" Mizani exclaimed
"how exactly did he give you those?" Mizani asked poking the triangles on his cheeks, with her nose.
-
"he put some sticky substance that i had no clue what it was, then he clubbed me over the head and i fainted, and when time past i felt the substance on my cheeks and it turned hard as a rock and i tryed to rip them off but it stucked really good againest my face so, i ripped as hard as i could and they came off and that's how i got the grey marks"
-
Mizani licked his cheek.
"doesn't taste like anything I've ever encountered before"
She washed her tongue in the water.
"so whats your name?"
-
-
"thats a nice name" she smiled.
"reminds me of the stories my dad used to tell me about"
"my names Mizani"
-
"Nice to meet you" Titus bows for gratitude and plessure.
-
"so Titus, are you hungry?"
-
"Yes i'm starved i havn't had anything for a while"
-
"well we can hunt when my friend gets back, but he will be gone quite a while"
She looked at the herds hungrily
"Lets go hunting while he's gone. If he catches us we'll just say we went scouting"
-
"Fine by me, i'm right behind you" Titus follows where ever Mizani goes.
-
"Okay then" Mizani grinned
"Think you can keep up?" she laughed bounding off in the direction of the herds.
