"Outlanders are to much nasty work and well they wouldn't slip in and get to Pride Rock unnoticed" Twilight replied looking over at Nala "So I don't think we really have to worry there" he said with a reasuring smile.Quote:

"Yeah its always nice to have a few new faces around here; just means more names to remember" he smirked.
A small ray of hope shone for Sengalo at hearing the rumors of his father still being alive. It seemed almost too go to be true. Sengalo couldn't help but feel sorry for Naeri and what happened to her. He wished there was some way he could help her. Besides, they would've been allies if Scar was still alive. It seemed she had lost everything dear to her, very similar to Sengalo. "Sengalo," he introduced with a slight bow of the head. "You're not alone, Naeri," he replied to her, "I've lost almost all those that were dear to me. It's a horrible feeling..."Quote:

"In any case, we all - well, they - all thought he was alive and we were trying to locate him but then..." She again trailed off then picked up at where Shakou left off. "We tried. I think Queen Tennra said that we wanted his help defending our borders, something about 'great honor', and..." She blinked, looking down thoughtfully. "I don't remember the rest, but when news came of him being overthrown King Saga was planning to overthrow the new king himself and return the Pridelands back to Scar." She had pointedly avoided Sengalo's question, but now nodded slowly to answer him since there wasn't much left to tell Shakou. "There was a war over territory, and only three of us survived, but the male ran off and Tennra died a while back." She looked up at Sengalo now and smiled a bit. "My name's Naeri."
Shakou's face was expressionless as Naeri told the rest of her story. "I am soo sorry to hear about your pride..." Shakou said with a small frown. "...the new kings name is Simba, but I am not sure if he will be in charge for a very long time... since I have noticed that he is ageing.." Shakou said looking in the direction of Pride Rock....Quote:

Scout sits on the top of Kovujin's head. He smiles back at Kovujin and then jumps off him and goes to sit next to his precious Kara.Quote:

Kovujin smiled as he watched him jump off his head,

Kara smiled "hehe, found a new seat huh Scout?" Kara asked nuzzling his cheek, "Daddy makes a good rock to sit on" Kara laughed.
Naeri managed a small smile and murmured "Thank you, Sengalo..." then turned her head away, not wanting to cry in front of the two lions but on the verge of doing so. She wiped at her eyes with a paw then looked in the same direction as Shakou, her voice saking some. "Simba...?" She frowned thoughtfully and moved a little closer to Sengalo as if seeking protection. "Is he gunna kill me 'cause of my pride?" She glanced nervously over her shoulder, whimpering quietly. "I don't want two prides trying to kill me..." She wasn't sure if the Mauhlii were truly after her, but Tennra told her to be cautious just in case. She looked back up at Sengalo, hoping he'll say that Simba won't do anything to harm her. Maybe if she kept quiet about her history...
"Yeah he really does" Scout says nuzzling her cheek back. SO you wanna do something while the grown up's hang out. Scout yawns. He was getting kinda bored with being with adults.
Katai runs out ahead of Asha keeping his eyes focused on a nearby running antelope. As he reaches it, he jumps on top of it and bites into it's neck to kill it. He bites it's neck a few times to be sure.Quote:

"Ok..." Asha whispers quietly to Katai, "One..." she stays very low in the grass, "Two... three!"
Sengalo grunted slightly at the mention of King Simba. He felt Naeri move closer to him and was caught slightly off gaurd by it. "You never know with him..." he said gruffly, "he didn't seem like much of a threat when I met him and he doesn't seem to be keeping up with his own law." He looked down at Naeri right next to him, a small, reassuring smirk on his face. It then disappeared when he continued, "last I heard, though, he's not too fond of even his daughter wandering about on her own, let alone some 'suspicious' figure heading to his pride. That's why I've kept my head down."Quote:

Shakou looked at the lioness who seemd to have become scared at the mentioning of Simba, "I..I am sorry to worry you..." Shakou said with a frown moveing forward towards the lioness. His face showed a smile, "No one will kill you Naeri..." Shakou said with a pause halting before her, "Your pride svore alliegence to Scar, so I did I..." Shakou said with a calm smirk. "I don't believe we have been interdouced... my name is Shakou, I am Scar's mentor..." the black lion said with a regal and humbel bow to the lioness...Quote:

Kara smiled, "Yeah sure, Kinda getting bored myself, all they do is talk, So what do you want to do Scout?" Kara asked.
Between the smirk on Sengalo's face and the sudden gentleness from Shakou, Naeri couldn't help but completely relax and even smiled. She returned the bow to Shakou, a little awkwardly because she hadn't really learned how to bow properly - with Shakou being Scar's mentor, he deserved as much respect as his son and heir. "'s nice to meet you both... Sorry I thought you were a shaman, Shakou." She grinned some. "Being a vampire sounds cooler." She looked up at Sengalo as he continued, blinking. "Does that mean he's senile? Daddy called Simba old and senile once, and I didn't know who he was until now..." Come to think of it, she didn't know what senile meant either. She hoped it was a bad word - she didn't like the sound of this Simba from what Sengalo and Shakou had been telling her.
Shakou just smiled at the replie from Naeri, "That's noting to be sorry about miss.." Shakou said motioning his paw, "...and well being one carrie their good and bad sides..." Shakou added before looking at Sengalo. "No Simba is not senile..." Shakou said with a slite laugh, "if he was he wouldn't be ruleing now..." the black lion added with a grin..Quote:

She hoped it was a bad word - she didn't like the sound of this Simba from what Sengalo and Shakou had been telling her.
Sengalo couldn't help but also letting out a small laugh at Naeri calling Simba senile. "As much as I hate to admit it," he now said with a straight face, "he's not quite that old. I remember my mother telling me he seemed pretty young when he dethroned my father. I don't think he's become that weak in such a short amount of time. After all, he's only been in rule a couple of years now. It's best to still keep your gaurd up..."
Naeri snorted quietly. Since being senile was a bad thing, she wished it on him secretly. "Well, he'll be senile some day." She grinned now, an almost wicked glint coming to her otherwise calm eyes. "Maybe I'll be old enough to live through my pride's sworn loyalty to Scar when he is." She looked up at Shakou and Sengalo, a sudden thought striking her. Her voice dropped again so only the two lions could hear her. "Are you two going to attack the throne? 'Cause you sound like you are, or you're planning for it at least..."
Shakou froze at Naeri's last statement, he glanced over to Sengalo birefly before back at Naeri. "Miss..umm.." Shakou started as he turned to the scenery around him. "I have wanted kingship over these lands... since long before you where even born... but I have always been defeated.." Shakou said, "...but that was before Scar came on to scene, he was the one who would be able to rule this land... even though his reign was a short one.." Shakou said. "I trained him for the task, since I couldn't rule.. after being bitten by vampire in my younger years..." Shakou added turning to the lioness, "So I made him my successor..." the black lion smirked at the lioness...Quote:

Sengalo let out another chuckle at Naeri's comment towards Simba. "I'm sure he will be someday," he said with a small smirk. At Naeri's question, Sengalo exchanged looks with Shakou, his smirk a bit wider. "It's still in the making..." he replied in the same tone as the lioness, shrugging as he turned back to her. He looked around to see if anyone else was around, then sat in his spot. "It still needs more planning," said the black maned lion, "unless I or Shakou catch him alone, we're not going to be able to beat him that easily. I know the Outlanders are planning to do the same thing, but their putting all their bets on one lion. Zira's so full of herself, she really thinks it can be done." As he said this, he looked over in the direction of the Outlands, a frown appearing on his face and his ears swiveling back slighlty. "If she wasn't in the picture," he continued as he faced the two with him once again, "I'd go get them as our ally."
Shakou looked at the outlands, with a thought full look as he was deeply thinking, after very long pause the black vamprie said;"I might be able to persuvade or... I can remove her.." Shakou looked back at the others with a smirk crossing his face. "It would be alot easier to overpower the pridelanders, if I wasn't accidental vampire.." Shakou said looking in the direction of Pride Rock, "then we would have a clan of vampires as out ally.." Shakou added the sly grin still present on his face...
Naeri studied the two lions with interest and now complete respect. "Well, I'll be your ally. I may be small but daddy taught me how to fight." She listened to them both continue then blinked. "Zira? Is she the crazy one? Daddy told me Scar was with a crazy lioness when he went to see him. And who are they putting their bets on?" She looked to Sengalo with confusion. "You're his son, so you should be his heir, but you're not in the Outlands so it can't be you. Does he have another son? Daddy didn't say there were any cubs when he went to - no, I'm wrong, there was a cub. A scrawny one, he said." She shrugged. "Is that who they're betting on?"
Shakou turned to the lioness, "Sengalo is not the heir, atleast not accroding to Zira..." Shakou said narrowing his eyes at the outlands. "The supposed heir is a lion called Kovu, but he has nothing to do with Scar, he isn't even of his blood..." Shakou said with stern voice. "Kovu was born cuz the power and strength witch run his genes, i know his father and their for I know that Zira has made a grave mistake when it comes to Kovu..." Shakou said turing to the two lions his face still stern...
Sengalo smiled again. "Zira certainly is the crazy one," he answered with a chuckle, "that cub your father saw must've been Nuka, Zira's son. He's no where near fit to even take care of himself, let alone a kingdom! No, it's Zira's other son, Kovu. He's not my brother, but Zira wants him to rule instead of me. It's probably jealousy, I suppose." He shrugged again.
Naeri wrinkled her nose and shook her head quickly. "But that's not right. I was only the heir to my throne because the King and Queen were too old to have cubs and mom was the Queen's sister. It's the right of the true firstborn to be named the heir, and I guess I was at home." Her paw swatted at the grass with annoyance as she growled quietly. "It makes no sense. She really is crazy, I bet." She glanced up at Sengalo. "But why did Zira deny you the right to the throne because of Kovu? He can't be better than you - you have him." She nodded towards Shakou. "An' he's strong and a vampire. Kovu can't have that advantage..."
(( Edit: Time to go shopping for computer jazz and food. I'll be back in a couple hours... Sorry. ^_^; ))
Shakou turned from gazeing at the outlands towards Naeri, "He dose have an advantage.." Shakou said with a grim voice, "He got strength on his side he nearly matches mine, Simba wouldn't have stood a change.. plus he's a well trained assassin. He has the power of stealth as well.." Shakou added with a tone of disdane. "I am not capable of everything... and I am not immortal even though I am considerd one of the undead.." Shakou said turning to the young lioness with a stern look..
"Let's play something" Scout said running ahead. As he was walking he gets lost and somehow over hears the new "Appretice" cub talking with Sengalo and Shakou. He crouches real low and perks his ear. It sounded to him like they were planning something.
((I just figured out that Naeri is a cub.PX[/slow]))
Sengalo looked down at Naeri, a small frown on his face. "Zira was always jealous of my mother," he replied, "why anyone would love her enough to have a cub with her is beyond me." Sengalo listened as Shakou's explaination about Kovu. He thought to himself for a moment as he looked away from the group. That would explain things.... He may be pyschically(sp?) strong, but does he have the heart to rule a kingdom? Even if Zira is training him, he has no royal blood whatsoever, so how can he possibly know how to rule the Pridelands...?
Scout sneaked closer to the 3 keeping his voice unheard. Whatever it was it something big.
Kara walked up to Scout he was crouched low to the ground, she got up beside him and stayed low, "what are you doing?" Kara asked, then she heard a few voices.
Scout pointed to Sengalo and Shakou with this new cub. "This cub is working for them or something" Scout said in a voice that was even lower then a whisper.
Kara looked up, hey it was Sengalo, but who were the other two.. "Oh I see, lets keep quiet and listen" Kara said with a smirk on her face.
(( Gawd Katse, you're so slow. xD ))
Naeri looked at Shakou, nodding slowly as she listens to him and flinched lightly under the stern glare. Even so, she risked a question. "Sh-Shakou... What's an 'undead'?" Her ear twitched and she poked Sengalo lightly, her voice barely audible as she spoke to both lions. "Someone's listening to us..."
(( Sorry for shortness, I don't feel too hot. Inspiration is like *dead* ))
"Shoot" Scout whispered Knowing his cover was blown. There's a sound of many weeds rustling as Scout and Kara take off.
(ooc: lmao i've done shorter posts MoS, lol)
Kara started running with Scout her heart was beating a mile a second, "Do you think they will come after us?" Kara said still running
"Even if they did do you really think they'll think that we pose that much of a threat I'm wondering who this other cub is she one of them?" Scout wondered. He stopped and liced Kara on the nose trying to stop his heartbeat from going so fast.
Nela got out of the water to lick some mud from Reno's face. "Oh Reno... you're such a mess," she said to him, sitting him down for a bath.
"Dunno, but we could tell someone else, so I guess we are kind of a threat.." Kara said smiling, she licked him back.
Kovujin looked up to see Nela bathing Reno, "Hello there, How are you this morning?" Kovujin asked as he walked beside her and licked her cheek.
He was curious to who this new cub was and he was going to find out sooner or later. Scout wasn't scared. He walked further with Kara."Let's play a game you get to choose what game" Scout said eager to get his mind off the new cub.Quote:

Kovujin looked up to see Nela bathing Reno, "Hello there, How are you this morning?" Kovujin asked as he walked beside her and licked her cheek.
Kara smiled, "Sure, What do you want to play Scout, dont ask me" She said laughing, "I don't like to make choices" Kara said smiling as she nuzzled Scouts cheek.
Scout nuzzled Kara's cheek back he thought he saw the new cub behind her ready to pounce angrily on them But Scout finally realised he was seeing things. "Let's wrestle" Scout says in a playful growl he loved to wrestle it was his favorite game of all.
Nela looked up to Kovujin and smiled. "Good morning, hun. I'm good....how about you?" she said nuzzling him. Reno wrestled around in her crossed paws, trying to escape the bath. "Oh no you don't." Nela said as she grabbed him by the scruff.
