Zeyvon

Zeyvon was born in the wild. His father a lion and mother a tiger. He was raised in a pride of lions with his mother being the males queen in ways. He had been raised to lead the pride when he got older but disaster had struck. His pride was hunted down by humans and he was captured at the age of 2. However; he only spent a year in captivity before freeing himself. Now he currently dozes by the lake.

Fairali & Faidanen

The two sisters were out on a leisurely hunt, hoping to bring back food for the mothers and their two new litters of the pride. It was Fairali, the slightly smaller female that stopped abruptly when she saw striking form of Zeyvon resting near the water. The black mane, especially set against such a crystal-white coat, immediately had her interest.

"Shhh, look out there." Fairali whispered to her sister, nodding towards the snoozing liger.

Faidanen stepped up beside her slightly smaller sister, and her heart fluttered a little at the sight. This male was stunning, and better yet, he was a complete stranger and not a relative like most other males in the pride. "You gonna wake him up? Or am I?" She asked, a wry grin on her long face.

Fairali's pale lip drew back in a smirk as well, then quickly sobered as she stepped out from the trees and slowly made her way towards the slumbering cat. Unlike his coat, hers was light golden hue, with faint rosettes dotting her shoulders and haunches. White encapsulated her ear tips, checks, and muzzle. Her sister, conversely, had a darker orange coat with a frosted appearance, and faint striping that reflected her tiger heritage. And she was soon following after her sibling as the pair began to circle the unknown cat with keen interest.

Zeyvon

Zeyvon may be dozing but he wasn't fully asleep so his ears flicked and nose caught their scent. He wasn't really worried as they started circling Its not very smart to circle someone you don't know as if they are preyhe speaks without even opening his eyes.

Fairali & Faidanen

Fairali and her sister immediately stopped, big paws coming to rest in the newly sprouted grasses and spring weeds that had emerged about the edges of the lake. "Pardon our intrusion." She began with an instinctive bow of her head, even if Zeyvon's eyes weren't yet open to see it. Her inflection at least was a polite one, giving no indications of aggression or ulterior motives, "My sister and I were out for a hunt, we didn't expect to see another feline. At least, not one such as yourself."

"The name's Faidanen." Her sibling offered, her voice carried on a purr.

Fairali glanced to her sister and then back to the dashing fellow before them, "And mine is Fairali, of the Makucha."

Zeyvon

Zayvon had a scar over his left eye. When he opened his eyes it was clear as daythat he saw nothing in his left.he listened to them. **Zayvon** he said. ** Perhaps you should learn not to circle someone who could kill you** he said standing up and stretching

Fairali & Faidanen

They took immediate note of the damaged eye and the scar that rendered it useless. Even with this impairment, the big male looked to be in great shape, and that spoke volumes of his skill and capabilities of fending for himself in the wild. Fairali for one was finding herself more and more impressed by the stranger, and rightfully took a step back and laid down submissively in the grass when he stood up, "I admit, we got a little too carried away seeing a new face." She offered another apology as she looked upon the muscled frame of a cat many times over her own size. It was true, he could easily kill her, and most likely take Faidanen down too.

"Zeyvon, is it?" Faidanen chimed in, also opting to take a respectful step back and ease down into the grass to show that she meant not threat to him, and to acknowledge his greater power and authority. "I haven't seen you around this area. Do you belong to any pride?"

Zeyvon

When they both backed up and sat he did as well** my pride was slaughtered**

Fairali & Faidanen

Fairali's expression softened, "I'm sorry to hear that, Zeyvon. Might I ask what happened?"

Faidanen, on the other paw, perked at the mention of a pride. That meant this fellow was use to being in a group, rather than a solitary cat. "If you're looking for another pride to join, the Makucha would welcome you. We're looking to increase our numbers."

Zeyvon

Zeyvon was a dominant cat. humans killed all of them and took me when I was a year old.. But I escaped last yearhe said. He listened to her. not sure that is wise if it is an established pride. I am no submissive male who will bow down to anyoneHe spoke. Given he did miss a pride. But he wouldn't lie, even if for a while he could deal with being a subordinate eventually it would cause issues.

Fairali & Faidanen

Fairali once more took charge of the conversation, giving her sister a knowing look before answering, "I'm sorry about that, humans can be so vicious." The ligeress paused for a beat or two, then continued, "As for our pride, my sister might have been a little rash in offering you a position, though I wouldn't be one to deny you entry if you wanted." 'Not that we could stop you.' The thought crossed her mind, noting just how much larger this fellow was than her, and most of the Makucha to boot. "What our pride truly needs right now is the service of an outside male. Most of us are so closely related, Dani and myself haven't had the opportunity to produce a clean litter yet. It also wouldn't hurt to have an alliance with one so powerful as yourself?"

Faidanen went quiet at the wordless command from her sister. As much as she'd love to have someone like Zeyvon in the pride, she would settle for a litter sired by him too.

Zeyvon

He listened then snorted ** and let others raise my cubs? No if you want cubs from me you will stay with me and the cubs will be raised by us.** He said calmly.he had been raised in a true lion pride. And he would not stand for his cubs to be raised by another male.**your pride may Allie with me but only way you or any female will have my cubs is if they are raised by me and the female. **

Fairali & Faidanen

Fairali's smile flickered, but she dropped her skull down in an understanding nod, "I have to respectfully decline, but I can pass word to our leaders that you may be interested in an alliance. We live out in the western flank of the prairie, if you'd ever like to speak with them - Layra and Tuini are their names."

Unlike her sister, Faidanen wasn't keen on letting this opportunity go. "I'd like to join with you, Zey. Have you any other members, or is it just you?"

Fairali shot a startled look to her sibling, but said nothing.

Zeyvon

He would kill any other male trying to raise his cubs. His attention now going to the one who said she'd join him. **As of right now it is just me**

Fairali & Faidanen

"Well then..." Faidanen purred, daring to rise up and slink closer to Zeyvon, where she would rub her head along his side, "If you would have me, I would be honored to join you, and help our pride grow."

The end of Fairali's tail coiled up, then relaxed back down. This repeated a few times as she listened and watched the two, "If you're sure about this decisions sister, I'll leave you two be and let Layra and Tuini know. Zeyvon, do you want me to pass on your interest of an alliance with our pride?" The ligeress now stood as well, though she made no move to get closer to the giant male.

Zeyvon

Almost his full attention was on the female who would be staying. He rubbed his head along. Her to let his sent transfer.** Sure** he said to the other

Fairali & Faidanen

"I'll do that." Fairali announced, then lingered long enough to look back at her sister and, "Good luck, Faidanen." And there was a smile on her face and sincerity in her words. Though she had missed out on securing a litter this evening, the Makucha would ultimately benefit from their newfound ally. Without another word, the sun-kissed liger slipped back into the forest and disappeared.

Faidanen was purring again. She'd given her sister a parting nod before turning her full attention back to Zey. "What say we work on growing the pride?" She nuzzled him again, more forcefully this time, running her check along his shoulder and neck.

Zeyvon

He watched her now intently. He rubbed his face against hers Lets
