Aysha glanced over to the muscular lion next to Simba "Hello there." Aysha smiled. "And thank you Simba, I really appreciate you doing this."
" Great!" shouted Klowd being happy for Simba's decision.
" Hey" said Blitz who had just come from outside.
Klowd didn't said anything to him and pounced on him laughing.
Klowd yawned and fell asleep . " Hi Dad" smiled Blitz lying down near Klowd and trying to sleep too.
"I'm Aysha, nice meeting you." She smiled and looked back at Simba "Do you mind showing me around?" She asked.
"My Dad's sleeping Simba...mind if I hunt with you?" Kryken smiled "I'm sure Kimi must be starving by now hehe, we better get the food."
OOC: And now to introduce a new character... using my own namesake ;)
A rogue crossed the boundaries into the pride lands, unaware of the presence of other lions. He was a bit smaller than most lions his age, and his mane was thin. But most curiously, his fur was colored with spots like the leopard. Despite his smaller size he was extremely strong, possesing powerful legs and an arched, muscular back.
Zeal had wandered alone much of his life, a thing he attributed to his unknown father. He was a hybrid, his mother had been a rogue lioness, and his father a leopard whom he had never known. He was torn between the way of life his mother had taught him, or the calling of his father's instincts to roam alone.
He wandered alone with his thoughts until he came upon a giant rock, one that seemed to touch the sky. He stared at it for a moment... when suddenly a rowdy lion cub smacked into his leg.
"AHH! Sorry mister." Akadi said to the strange lion, backing away.
Azina came bounding out of the grass, then suddenly stopped when she saw the odd lion.
"Oh hello. Are you new here?" She asked.
"Uh... yea, I guess. I'm just passing through." He responded, smiling at the cubs. He felt a surge of interest in them, he had never seen lion cubs before.
"Oh you could stay here! You seem really nice." Azina answered innocently.
Azina's innocent comment took him by surprise. Zeal had never really thought of staying with other lions, even his mother had been a rogue. But the innocent, happy cubs told him that this pride must be good, honorable one. The idea awakened his lion half, the half that desired life in a pride...
"Well I'm not sure if your leader would be okay with that young cubs." He said.
"Oh, well I think you should go ask him." Akadi replied.
"Ya, go talk to King Simba, he's really nice and wise." Azina added.
So Zeal called out a greeting, at the very least maybe this King would grant him passage through his lands. But if he found a new home, so much the better.
" Hey we want to eat too!!" said Klowd who woke up with the smell of the meat. " Yeah ty for waiting" laughed Blitz ,then both went to bite the animal.
"I am Zeal, I was just passing through your lands, I wasn't aware until these cubs bounded into me that these lands were occupied. However, I have never been in any pride before, and the idea appeals to my lion half. Would it be much trouble if I asked to stay awhile?" Zeal asked, bowing respectfully.
Roku saw the new lion and walked up to him, bowing.
"I am sure if you mean us no harm, Simba will allow you stay here. He is a good, kind king."
Roku smiled slightly
"I am not even a lion, and he allowed me to live here. I am sure you mean us no harm?"
"Yeah is great!" said Blitz, Klowd didn't said anything and continued eating. " Mate if you continue eating like this you are going to be able to live with the elephants." Blitz laughed.
Zeal nodded to Roku. "I'm not entirely lion myself. My father was a leopard, as one can see from my spots. And no, I'm not a threat, I was just passing through when I ran into those cubs. Staying here was a sort of spur-of-the-moment idea."
Kenyi not having eaten anything heard the suprise roar and watched as Simba stood in front of the cub protectively. Soon, he came and padded up to the new lion as Kryken closely followed behind his curious father.
"Welcome to the pridelands Zeal," He greeted and bowed slowly "It's always nice to see someone else new here." Kenyi said.
"Not to be rude or anything, but may I ask where you are from?" inquired Kryken.
"Well, I was planning on helping the new pridelander out, maybe show him around the place. You don't need to worry about me Simba, I've survived many days without food and water." Kenyi laughed and nuzzles Simba back "Well, I could show both Zeal and Aysha around unless you would like to show Aysha around yourself?"
"I'm not really from anywhere in particular, I've hunted and lived alone since my mother died. I've always been a rogue..." Zeal answered to Kryken.
"What about yourself? Don't you need to eat as well Simba?" asked Kenyi.
Aysha noticed the group of lions chatting near the enterance of the cavern. She padded up slowly to the group and smiled making her way to the newcomer "Hello there." she greeted the new pridelander with a soft tone, "What's going on?"
----
"I'm sorry to hear that Zeal..." Kryken frowned "I know how you feel...I was a cub orphan when my parents died long ago too...until I met Kenyi who he adopted me..." he lowered his ears.
"My mother was a kind lioness, although she had been exiled from her pride. I never did find out why... I never knew my father, he died before I was born, I only know that my mother loved him very much."
Kryken looks at the dry ground as a small tear runs down his muzzle, having to remember his parents and what happened to them "I...know what you mean Zeal..." Kryken wiped his tears with a paw and looked back up "Well...over here you'll be given the greatest of comforts and don't you worry." Kryken nods padding from the scene quickly.
"I'm...so sorry to hear that Zeal..." Aysha frowns, lowering her ears as well. "I hope...that you do find some comfort here Zeal and if you need anyone here to talk to, I'm here for you." Aysha padded up to Zeal.
Zeal was quite surprised at all the kindness he was shown in so short a time. He again found himself wondering about what could make his mother leave pride life... if it was as good as this. He had always suspected it had something to do with his father... maybe it was a taboo for a lioness and a leopard to become mates.
He sighed, I guess I'll never know for sure, he thought. He smiled at the others, finding a degree of happiness in a place he never thought he'd find.
Zeal noticed Kryken's tears as well, and though he had long since gotten over his sadness, it was obvious Kryken had not.
"I feel your pain..." He said simply, brushing Kryken slightly with his paw.
" Dad? What happen?" said Klowd worried about his father nuzzling him.
Kryken nods as he takes a bit of the Impala, slowly chewing his food.
"Thank you Zeal...I feel a bit better now...and it's nothing Klowd." He nuzzled his son.
----
Kenyi watches and smiles as he decides to pad outside for a bit of fresh air.
----
Aysha gave Zeal a friendly nuzzle of comfort and walked outside seeing Kenyi staring straight at the sky.
"Hey there." Aysha smiled.
"Hi." Kenyi greeted back.
"What're you doing here all by yourself?"
"Just watching the sky."
"Yeah, it looks beautiful with the swirls and clouds."
"Yep, shouldn't you be inside with the others eating your dinner?"
"I'm not so hungry, but thanks for your concern."
"No problem..."
The two continues gazing up at the beautiful shapes and form that appeared up above.
"You really should get back, it's getting kind of cold here." said Kenyi.
"Yeah, you're right..." Aysha padded back into the cavern and ate her dinner quitely alongside Kryken and the others "I really enjoy it here..." she smiled.
Kenyi purrs "Thank you Simba." He smiles as he grabs one of the Impala's haunches and starts to chew lightly.
Aysha looked at the large group of lions and lionesses as they ate the food "Hmm...well I think I'll just go rest now..." she pads up to Simba and asks in a polite voice "I think I'm just gonna go to bed and rest outside now..." Aysha smiles.
please :bleen: ;)Quote:

Kryken nuzzled his son back "Nothing son..." he smiled.
" Sure....?" he asked concerned " So why u were crying?"
"Just something about my parents son, nothing to worry about. Go back to eating your food hehe." Kryken nuzzled him.
" What happens to Gr.... Kenyi?" he asked looking at his father's eyes.
Kryken laughed "You can call him grandpa if ya like." He winked "He's probably outside as usual, looking at the sky."
"Or I could be here trying to enjoy a meal." Kenyi laughed as he poked his son.
"Oh haha. Didn't notice ya there Dad, where did you go? Klowd was getting worried."
"I was out...like you said looking at the sky as usual. Nice guess though son, you're really starting to catch up."
"Hmm...well...anyways, we'd better eat and enjoy the food before the Impala gets cold. Don't you think so, son?" Kryken smiled.
( Do the lions know how to roast? :lol: )
"Always so opportune!"said Klowd laughing seeing his father face " yeah could be better to continue eating"
( ahh ok ty sir ;))
Aysha smiled and nuzzled Simba softly in response back as she slowly headed into the cavern and sat beside Klowd around the dead Impala. Just as she was about to consume one of the haunches, she caught a small glimpse of Kimi in the corner of the den all by himself and thought to herself that maybe she should keep him company and herself for a while, maybe start a decent conversaton. Aysha always enjoyed a good talk or two, so when the time was right she excused herself from Klowd and took on the impulse to slowly walk over and sit beside him.
"Hello there." Aysha greeted with a kind smile.
Klowd and Blitz looked simultaneously one to the other , and then both looked to Aysha and Kimi both both with an accomplice smile.
( I was just kidding ;) )
" We don't want a mate now, a mate gives you a lot of responsibilities" they both laughed."
Aysha smiled at how polite Kimi was of bowing.
"I know...I was just wondering why you were sitting here all alone. Come and join us." Aysha smiled again "Right now, I'm not too concerned about my hunger hehe."
"No thanks, heh I'm already full as it is." Aysha smiled "My name's Aysha," She bowed slowly "What's yours?" She asked in a friendly voice.
" maybe we should go out the den..." whispered Klowd and Blitz to their fathers.
"It's nice to meet you too," she smiled back "so, do you mind asking me whatever brought you to this place?"Quote:

"Hah, no need to bow!" Kimi laughs a little, "As I said, I'm not royalty... my name's Kimi, nice to meet you." Kimi smiles.
"No... I'm ok Dad" said Blitz pointing discreet with his paw to Kimi and Aysha trying to make Kiros and Kryken underestand them.
"Well, I was with a group of lions from our pride one night to go searching for food, but instead all 5 of us ended up being the 'hunted' and were chased down by 8 humans. Luckily, we escaped the human poachers but unfortunately scattered and lost elsewhere. Then I somehow found this wonderous place." she sighed "So, what is your position or job in this pride?" Aysha asked.
"I know how you feel, hopefully my pride isn't in danger. I'd go back, but I don't remember the way home." she lowered her ears, "Do poachers come here often?" she frowned.
