Mufasa & pride

Mufasa had stayed with his brother Scar his entire life. They were now Seven years old and had plenty of scars to show their strength. They had a pride now of seven females and had plenty of offspring to carry on their lines too. They had stumbled upon Sarabi who was ten years old and her 6 daughters, two 8 years, 3 five years olds and her youngest at the time a three year old. Now all these females had cubs between two months old and 10 months old. Mufasa led the pride which was already well fed for the day to the lake for a drink. He and Scar laid down by the waters edge and began to drink from it. So did the females and Cubs. After this they retreated to longer grass where they found a clearing that could fit them all and it had one big ass boulder which Mufasa leaped upon and laid down. Scar began to scent mark the area while the females chose to rest. The cubs however began to play or nurse.

Faith

Faith was with her family. Her younger sisters were with her as well. The male that had been the leader in their small pride had been killed. Faith so far had lead them on, and they had stayed a group. Stopping at the lake she lowered her head to drink, being watchful for any of the other lions or lionesses that might come back. She could smell their scent, which had been recent, which was why she went no further. She let loose a low hiss, showing that everything was clear. Aurora carried Mist out, and sat her next to Faith once she was done drinking, before she proceeded to get a drink. Lilith led Moon and Hell Storm out, who all went to get a drink of the water. Fear for the cubs while being close to another pride kept them alert. Normally they wouldn't of come so close, but due to travel they needed to get water. Aurora was also in season, she hadn't had a chance to breed with the deceased male leader before he died. Faith kept Mist very close to her as she waited for the rest of the group to get done. Occasionally she licked her daughter's head.

Mufasa & Scar

Mufasa from his perch saw the group. He couldn't see a male lion but usually there was one so he was quick and leaped off his perch and called out a warning. They had just claimed this area and to already see another pride, smaller by comparison but still a threat especially if there was a male or two. Scar was beside him soon and the brothers moved forth with their mouths opened. Mufasa caught the scent of Aurora and well he knew what he wanted now.

The lionesses immediatly moved the cubs into hiding and then moved away to form a group away from the cubs and just watched their males go off to meet the threat.

Faith

Faith heard the warning, and she knew their was trouble. Picking up her daughter she lead her sisters and the other two cubs back to the tall grass. They knew they wouldn't make it far with so short of a distance between them. So they laid down in the grass, ready to protect the cubs. Aurora, since she had no cub would be the first one to attack so her siblings could get away, that is if the males attacked. They surrounded the cubs, scared wondering how they would react when they saw no male with them. Now all they could do was wait, knowing the males would find them if they followed their scents. Faith just hoped that they might be merciful enough to let them go, or even more hopefully to join their pride. Maybe they needed more females, but even then she had her doubts. The females in the pride would probably resist or attack them. Besides males weren't usually tolerant of other cubs she had to remind herself. A soft hiss was given as she made herself ready to protect her cub at all cost, even if it meant fighting these male lions, which she doubted she could do, even with Aurora's help. She and Lilith moved Mist, Moon, and Hell Storm back some, while Aurora remained where she was, ears back and crouched down. Somewhat submissive, but ready to fight or flee if forced. Faith and Lilith didn't go back far, for they could still see Aurora.

Mufasa & Scar

Mufasa sped up as they retreated. His tail twitching every now and then. He came upon Aurora first and well decided to leave the others to Scar while he investigated this one. HE didn't see no male nor smell male on this female which was strange. He remained alert however as He now came up to Aurora with his mouth open.

Scar continued on toward the other female and cubs.

Sarabi was sitting up to see what was going on exactly. Her mouth open as she panted. She was ten years old and due to pass on with in the next year or so but till then.

Faith

Aurora saw him coming, and at first backed up out of fear, but stood her ground when he showed no initial threat. She let out a hearable purr when he got closer, showing that she meant no threat. She watched him wondering if he was going to attack. She saw Scar head toward her sisters, which caused her head to turn around without thinking, leaving her open for any attack if the male so wished. It wasn't long before she looked back to Mufasa remembering he was there. Light blue orbs, almost grey looked up at him wondering if he was going to harm her.

Faith got up, leaving Mist with Lilith as she came forth to meet Scar. She was scared, but she stopped when she neared him to lay down, knowing that if he attacked her, Lilith would run with the other cubs. Faith would fight back, but she doubted she'd win. She gave off a woofing sound as the male got closer to her.

Lilith remained in front of the other cubs ready to flee with them, or fight for their lives. She waited to see what the male would do to Faith.

Mufasa

Mufasa inspected her trying to find a scent of male. His mouth now open in a flemming response. After he was sure she was no threat he moved on. Trotting after his brother to inspect the others. He supposed the cubs could live. As scar stopped to expect the female that approached he continued on toward the last female and cubs. He ignored the cubs and proceeded to expect the female. He badly wanted to kill the cubs but he decided the only way to get on the good side of these females and maybe get them to stay was to let the bastard kids live.

Scar head raised more as the female met him. He sniffed her over and made t bite her a bit. He was strange in this way it was his way of testing.

The Lioness's watched. Only after the males decided that these femmes meant little harm would they call their cubs back to them.

Faith

Faith watched as the male came forward sniffing her over. She was shocked a bit at the nips he gave her. She raised her head up a bit trying to rub against his head showing that she was no harm. She didn't like the bites, it made her feel like she had done something wrong. Which was why she opened her mouth, and took some fur, and possibly skin her mouth before she let go. She never did bite down, knowing that might cause trouble. She looked up at him wondering if what she had done might cause trouble. Faith just didn't want him biting her like she had caused trouble like a cub.

Aurora remained still until he moved on. She got up and followed at a slower pace.

Lilith allowed him to check her over. She even was bold enough to try to sniff him a little to try to learn anything. She would of stopped if he showed a sign of not liking it.

The cubs stayed still watching. They waited till the mothers gave a hiss to show it was okay. Mist laid her head on Moon as she gave a little yawn.

Mufasa

Mufasa examined casted one glance at the cubs before giving a huff and shaking his head and mane. Then eh turned and returned to his pride and laid down as if nothing happened. His mouth hanging open but nothing more.

Scar growled as she did what she did and made to wack her but then turned and followed his brother back and pounced on him biting his ear playfully.

Sarabi just snorted and called their cubs back. She got up and sniffed all the cubs letting them rub underneath her and what not.

Faith

Faith was shocked at the whack, but made no move to attack. Getting up she went and picked Mist up in her mouth, before following. Lilith led her two behind them, sometimes nudging Moon and Hell Storm along to move a little faster. Aurora came as well, a little excited that she would have cubs before too long. Once back with the others, Aurora went calmly toward the other females wondering how they would react. Lilith and Faith weren't too far behind. If all went well Faith would of let Mist nurse, and Lilith's older cubs would of went to where the other cubs were to play. Lilith was only worried that Hell Storm would want to play too rough, but see some older cubs then her own put her mind at ease. She was sure that her cub wouldn't be too rough now, but she would still keep an eye out. If the other female lions accepted them, then Faith and her siblings would of laid down around with them to watch over the cubs.

Mufasa

Sarabi and her two oldest Daughters Nala & Natalia were the only ones to keep their distance from the new comers. Sarabi tail flicked and she snorted as her and her two daughters groomed each other.

However Chantelle, Shayla, Ulaya and Mwaya the three five year old daughters and three year old daughter moved forward and greet them as if they were sisters.

Jasmine & laya Scar and Nala daughters who were ten months old appraoched the 9 month old cups and immediatly investigated them and then proceeded to play with them.

Solo who was Scars and chantelle's only surviving cup the other three having been killed by wilderbeast. He approached the youngest cub of the group. he was four months but very curious. He was use to older cubs but this one seemed his age or younger so he pounced at him.

Faith

Faith noticed the ones that were keeping their distance, and she made a note to remember it. The others that came up cheered her mood though. In return she, Lilith, and Aurora greeted them like sisters too. They made to rub them and lick their heads in affection to show no harm and friendship.

Moon noticed that both of the two older ones were female, which put her at ease. No boys that would be too rough, unless it was her brother. Hell Storm played with them, but he liked to play fight, and sometimes he could be rough. If that happened, his mother would notice usually by Moon's loud meowing, and she'd step in to stop, usually rebuking him.

Mist was so busy watching, that the other cub managed to pounce on her. Solo was her age, but being male was more than likely bigger than her. She tried to squirm out from under him, giving a little playful nip here and there if she could.

Faith decided to take a chance. Leaving Aurora to help watch Mist, she tried to approach the older females, being careful to watch their body language. What use was a pride if the females didn't get along she wondered. A glance was given to the males wondering what they were doing, before she looked back to Sarabi, Nala, and Natalia. She stopped a good jumps away, simply to see if they would turn her away. Her own body posture was friendly.

Sarabi

Sarabi in a way was glad that these female came al ong because she knew she was old and the two daughters with her were also up there so when they passed the pride would of been a bit smaller but still Sarabi had never had unrelated females in her pride before. She stopped grooming Nala when she noticed Faith approaching. She snorted and got up and moved away toward the males and laid down by them. Nala and Natalia stayed put but were now standing. Nala left hind leg slightly up as if thinking about coping her mother and goin to sit with the males but didn't move cause her sister didn't either.

Jas and her sister growled playfully.

Solo growled playfully and tried to grab her scruff.

Faith

Faith watched as Sarabi left a little hurt. Looking to the two other females that stayed, she moved a paw forth, not sure if they were welcoming her to join her, or simply wishing her to go away. She would if one of them made a move or sign that they didn't want her there. Faith didn't like those that thought they were better, and she figured that Sarabi was one of those lioness. Which already put her at the top of her hate list.

Hell Storm made to pounce on Jas, and grab her scruff, not rough enough to bring blood, but just as rough as if he was playing with a male cub. Moon attempted to bat at Jas's sister with her paw, as she gave a playful growl herself.

Mist felt him grab her scruff, which caused her to try to roll over and get him to let go. A little growl came from her.

Lilith and Aurora began to groom each other while with the other lionesses watching over the cubs.

Sarabi

Sarabi didn't think she was better or anything like that it was just the way lion prides usually worked. Most Lion prides besides possibly the males were made up sisters, Aunts and cousins. Sarabi was old and never in her life had unrelated females sought to join their pride therefore her instinct told her to chase them out but seeing as the males accepted them she decided to just make it obvious she didn't want them here. She yawned and laid her head flat on the ground.

Nala slightly growled and allowed the female to get closer but then decided she didn't want anything to do with her and rubbed up against her sister before moving over and pouncing on Scar.

Natalia meanwhile held her position. HEr mouth slightly agape.

Jas growled and made to wrap her large paws around him and attempted to push him over. While her sister growled but soon grew bored and ran to Sarabi and began to nurse.

Solo let go and then ran to Chantelle to nurse.

Faith

Faith moved closer to Natalia, aiming to make friends with the other female. If she rejected her, Faith would simply go back to her sisters, and the felines that did accept her, or possibly go lay next to Mufasa.

Hell Storm pushed back, hoping due to his male size to push her down, but her being older might make her bigger than he. He growled back.

Moon went to follow a few paces after the older cub, hoping to play some more. If not she'd go to her mom to nap.

Mist ran to Aurora, and curled up beside her aunt to watch the others. Aurora began to clean the cub since her mother was busy.

Lilith kept an eye on her children, trying to make sure her son didn't get too rough with the other cub. She'd glance at Moon every now and again.

Sarabi

Sarabi knew it was time to hunt. She snorted. Well these females better not mess up a hunt. She got up and stretched and the others except Mwaya who would stay behind with the males and cubs also got up. Sarabi began to stalk off. The Ten month old cubs following for they were starting their hunting today. Sarabi had picked out a herd of Zebra today and she now was crouched low to the ground.

Nala and Natalia had both gone around the herd and sought out their own spots to wait to join in the fight. Jasmine was with them. Her sister was with the lead female Sarabi.

Ulaya, Chantelle and Shayla sought out their spots which were spread out.

Sarabi didn't know if the new females had come or not but when she picked out their target she began to creep forward and then she broke out into a full blow out run right for a young female an adult but still young. She dodged in and out of the other Zebra. Laya followed Sarabi example and broke out in a run right for the same Zebra. This was their first hunt so mess ups were bound to hunt. Her first mistake was attempting to go for the hoof which she recieved to the head and stopped chasing now as she just laid down usnure of what happened.

The zebra still on the run was approaching Chantelle, Ulaya and Shayla place and Chantelle was the first out and well the hunt was done. Chantelle sunk her teeth right into the muzzle in the suffocating grip needed and shayla grab it by the neck pulling it down. The two both kept their mouths closed to strangle it.

The others came to but knew better. All but the two suffocating the zebra backed off. Soon Chantelle and Shayla also backed off. Males & Cubs ate first that was a rule in pride life. Chantelle and Shayla cleaned their muzzles as mufasa and Scar and all te cubs including Jasmine ate. Though finally Shayla realized Laya was missing and immediatly went in search of the ten month old calling to her and she found her with blood dripping from her head. She may or may not make it. She stayed with her cleaning her head lightly.

Faith

Faith followed, but her two sisters didn't. They would stay to help with the cubs, besides they didn't want to get in the way. Faith broke with the rest of them, but she backed off like everyone else did too. She waited watched as her daughter came to eat. Faith was quick to notice that Aurora wasn't with the group that came.

Mist, Moon, and Hell Storm came forth to eat with the other cubs.

Aurora on the way ran into Laya, and was there when Shayla came. When she saw the other female, she offered to help, by cleaning her too. This cub had just been playing, and now she may die. She was here to comfort both Laya and Shayla, but more Shayla, if Laya didn't make it.

Faith sat down to wait her turn in the feast with Lilith beside her.

Mufasa

Mufasa ate his share before getting up and walking off. He laid down a few feet away. His brother following.

Sarabi and the others now moved in to eat.

Shayla cleaned Laya head until it s topped bleeding and then encourage her to get up and move to eat. She then began to eat herself.
