*Lions*

Walking side by side through a swath of short grasses, the two lions entered the terra. They, along with all the other escapees from the circus, had yet to be captured.

Hungry and aggitated by the growing cold, the pair looked about for an easy meal. They weren't use to hunting, but their large size allowed them to scavenge from bears, other large cats, and canines.

Libertys Ride

The Lead mare was wandering around the terra, getting used to the new home. Her head was raised high as well as her tail, showing that she was indeed one to be respected around here. Her gaze shifted from here to there, as she scanned the area. She seen nothing, at least not yet, but she cuaght the strangest scents. Something she had never smelled before. Curious and alert, slightly fearful of her herd, she advanced, only speeding up her pace. Once she spotted the two lions, and immedietly froze, not daring to move. She snorted lightly through, as one ears was toward the two different animals and the other was thrown back for any other possible danger, or perhaps one of her herd. She squinted her eyes to get a better look, before then speaking in a strong and loud voice, "Who goes there?" She wouldn't let her guard down, especially around lions.

Songa

The dappled mare hadn't had time to get acquainted with Libertys Ride yet, and thought it a good time too. But as she cantered along, following the leadess's scent on the breeze, her nostrils flared wide and she froze in midstep. Her head was lifted up for an instant, testing and retesting the breeze for the dangerous scent that lurked on it. Giving a shrill neigh, Songa began to thunder across the ground, arching her neck and shaking her mane as she went. She came upon her leadess at last and gave a loud snort as she arrived, letting Libertys Ride know that it was just her approaching.

The mare halted near the other and stared at the two felines. She raised a hoof in the air and stamped it forcefully onto the ground. Her eyes were wide, but she did not show her teeth yet or otherwise threaten the beasts. She simply didn't know what they were.

*Lions*

The two lions slowed to a stop as the dusty-golden eyes settled on the mare and the other that was fast approaching. The lioness stepped forward, her head and ears perked up in a clear sign of curiousity. But there was a biting hunger in her orbs as she looked past Libertys Ride's gaze, and to the flesh of her body. Her pink tongue flicked out to lick her chops and her thin stomach rumbled. "We go here." She replied at length, her voice cool but edged with a fiercesome undertone.

The felines now advanced, begining to circle the two mares, trying to make as tight of a circle as they could. Their eyes glittered viciously up at the equines, but no further moves were made... yet.

Libertys Ride

Libertys Ride snorted as they started circling her, and her eyes were also wide. She watched them, just daring them to make a move. It woul lead to their death... Litterally. She snorted, and then kicked out at the lioness with her hindhooves, her teeth becoming slightly bared as she whinnied. It was a shere warning. She kept her eyes on the tow felines, knowing exactly what they were thinking. "I believe you're messing with the wrong equines." she said, stomping a hoof powerfully on the ground, leaving her signature.

*Lions*

The lioness eyed Libertys Ride and gave her a wider birth. The male followed suit, making the circle wider. "You take our intentions as being foul??" The she-cat replied, in a hissing-purr.

She glanced from the lead to Songa. Her pace picked up, leaving her spaced from the male as the two exchanged glances. Suddenly the male stopped and roared loudly, swiping a paw at Songa's side. At the same instant, the lioness sprung at Liberys Ride, avoiding the front or back and going directly for her side. She attempted to get onto her back.

Libertys Ride & Lucky Charm

Libertys Ride screamed out in pain and anger as the large lioness managed to land on her back. Neighing out frantically, she started bucking with all her might, trying to toss the feline off... Whether or not the lioness decided to give up, she would still be killed. Libertys Ride could be a sour mare when she wanted to. She continued bucking, her antics harsh and unforgiving.

Soon, after hearing all the commotion, another horse form appeared on the horizon. The large stallion bolted forward with a screaming, high-pitched neigh; one that sounded like a war cry. Charging at the lion that went for Songa, he wheeled around and aimed his butt at him, and then kicked out with his powerful hindlegs, wanting to knock him out...

Songa

Songa gave a pained scream as well as sharp talons dug through her hide, leaving a fresh stain of red running into her coat. She reared back frightfully and struck out with her hooves, trying to drive the lion away.
