S t e p to me (Muse lack)

[irritated]

Each pawstep was stealthy, the shortness of her tawny coat and near perfection of her warm eyes all a part of such a skilled hunter. A flick of the ears and the soundless stalking, a twitch of her tail was all that gave her away in the tall grasses of the savannah. She was stalking a young impala as it grazed helplessly with it's herd. She neared, and neared, Closer and closer, the blood pounding like a stampede in her ears. Time seemed to slow down to a stop, untill an explosion without sound catapulted down out of the cover of the grasses as the lioness was flung by slender legs at her newest victim. It was over quick, Para having tripped up right away and landing akwardly on her side, the herd bounding off in quick leaps. She shook herself, grunted as she rose, and stalked off again. The scent of other lions was there most defiently and she was following it before she could ask herself what she was doing. Just the wind whispering her name and the steady brushing of grass against her pelt, the dull beat of her heart and the rythem of her pawsteps that was barely audible. Then, it hit her like a cougar would smack into an elk with a sickening crunch of bones. The 'What am I doing?'s and 'Why am I doing this?'s. Staring off into the void that blurred in her sight, she thought. Her eyes closed. She allowed herself to remember. Her mother leaping. Her mother dying. The charred remains was a gruesome meal, but food nonetheless, and she had reluctantly devoured her own mother to survive. She shook her head. No, that was just a dream, the one just before that. She had just left her mother there. Much better than being eaten by your own daughter, she refelcted, and moved on. the surroundings were still a blur to her and the numbness of nothingness was overtaking her. It, however, was interrupted by the snarling of her stomach, demanding she feed herself before she died. The sight of a watering hole was just about perfect for her and the inviting shade beside it was just too much to ignore. With a light sigh, she loped over to the water and lapped it up happily. She'd should have better than to not even bother to look around. Anbd with her extreme size, she would just about loose a fight with nay male around here if it came to that.

KIARA

Kiara pawed at the dirt and sniffed around these lands were owed by another a male to be exact but it wasn't the male scent that bought her here into the Pride lands it was another scent of a lion a female one Kiara was following she wanted to meet her and maybe be friends. She knew who owned the lands remembering the scent of the lion she met on the beach the shy one one that she accidentally startled it was Azizi hopefully he wouldn't mind her wandering in his lands . She heard a herd, running from something not her Kiara was silent as death itself she never really made a peep. It was something else maybe the lioness she was tracking when she picked the scent up around the border. she followed the noises and saw the lioness that she smelled "ah so there you are" Kiara was surprised she was fairly small for a lion and her pelt was the color of beach sand very light Kiara felt a tinge of jelousy this lioness was most likely to find her special someone before Kiara could being as attractive as she was Kiara's pelt was dark and her eyes were a soft amber.

She followed the other quickly but silently and when she stopped at at watering hole Kiara approached her he didn't want to scare her so she spoke as softly as she could "hello" Kiara said "You better be on guard Azizi, the one who owns these lands, i don't know how he takes to animals who come as freely as they wish," Kiara paused "although I'm sure he won't mind a lioness such as yourself" Kiara said thinking he might take a liking to her, Kiara's ear twitched at the thought, she sat down "I am Kiara, and you are?" Kiara said being polite to the other and waited patently for an answer.

Her head shot up, but she quickly thought the voices over and decided that the speaker was friendly. "My name?" It took her a second to remember. "My name is Paralupid." She turned to give a timid smile to Kiara. "Azizi? Oh, he must be the king here. Why do you say that? I'm no different than you." She said puzzled, one ear tilted downward. She looked around and flicked her ear, first the right and then the left. Without a warning she calmbered over and held a paw to the other's mouth and uttered a quick "Shhhh." Before bounding off into the grasses. Away from veiw, her ears liad flat to her head and her eyes wide, she saw it. The baby impala! It was there again, bugging it's mother. Not for long, Para thought as she flung herself at the little thing. It's hind legs slipped out from under it and it fell forwards with the lioness right ontop of it. She disbatched it with a quick bite to the neck and she carted her miniture kill back to the other. "I know I probably shoudn't be hunting on Azizi's lands, but I haven't eaten in a long time, since my mother died." It was obvious that she was still shocked by her mother's death, her life had been plaugued by fire mostly. Why her? She set the impala on the ground and invited the other over to join here with a flick of her tail.

Notes: xD I dun mind, really. Pretty fun with more people! I'm starting on the Paralupid-Ghost of you amv. I might do an amv for you if you ask! (I do AMVs ((Animated Movie Videos)) for no real reason. I like em, though.)

[kiara]

Kiara saw the lion's head shoot up oops Kiara didn't want to startle her but it seems that she failed to do so well. "My name?" She asked as if she didn't know her own name wow maybe she's crazy, Kiara thought but she shook it off and was relived when the lioness gave Kiara her name and it was very interesting Paralupid "Azizi? Oh, he must be the king here. Why do you say that? I'm no different than you." Kiara nodded "yes i believe he is King here," Kiara paused she was right Para was no different than Kiara the only difference was that he knew her slightly and knew her well not at all. "Yea, you're right" Kiara agreed she smiled at the lioness then out of nowhere she clamped her paw on Kiara's mouth "what are you doing?" Kiara asked though it sounded ore like 'uht are you oing' because her voice was muffled and then she took off ok maybe she is crazy? Kiara thought tilting her head but she soon returned with a baby impala
"I know I probably shouldn't be hunting on Azizi's lands, but I haven't eaten in a long time, since my mother died." Kiara was slightly shocked was this lion implying she couldn't hunt maybe Kiara was misunderstanding since she just got an impala, perhaps the shock was too much for her and she didn't feel hungry, Kiara wasn't going to pry.

"oh no, its ok I'm sure he won't mind," Kiara said "if anything he might want you to join his pride." Kiara said, she didn't know much about Azizi but she figured he defiantly wouldn't mind her being here he was familiar with her after all. Kiara walked over to Para and sat down next to her and smiled " Eat what you can I'm sure your starving" Kiara said she wasn't really hungry right now she wanted Paralupa to feel satisfied first and maybe she would join Kiara on a walk.

[Rev's Mammals]

He was sleeping like any old king.

The golden hue blended perfectly with the swaying of his savannah's grasses, the globe intensifying their heat rays, basking below at the slumbering form. Snores were emitted from the blowing nostrils, pushing and pulling the leafy ground around. His throat would vibrate noise as if he was mumbling some words, but at last, he was dead asleep. His large paws rested comfortably on top of each other, legs sprawled out on his side. The male's ribcage would rise and fall symmetrically with his breaths as if was conscious to do so.

Along with his natural breathing, hoof beats of a small herd bounded quickly, the light steps coming close to the sleeping figure hidden in the golden ocean. Being lucky, one impala had scented the colossal lion, directing the herd from running over the tired beast. The clicking and hopping as finally awoke the slumbering king from his catnap. Auric gems winced open at the globes fiery light, iris adjusting slowly. Azizi lifted his large and furry mane up where it could be slightly seen above the long grasses, but he still held a camouflage. Teeth bared as a yawn came from his mouth. Smacking after, his ears happen flicker at the right moment to hear a few noises in the near distance. Hopefully, they weren't other felines such as one himself or cheetahs, except Tabia. He grew a liking to that spotted creature.

His bones cracked a bit from the sudden movement, but they were a relieving feel. His body stood up with a rippling of his stomach and legs, shaking himself fully so he would have logical thinking. The sandy body that belonged to the king of the lands proceeded with his curiosity and moved on, looking for who made those sounds.

Then, out of nowhere, a squeal of an baby impala pierced his black tipped auds, directing his attention to his proud water hole. He set his pace into a jog, willing to see what had claimed that baby's life. Maybe a crocodile or hyena... he rather have them, to say again. How he distrusted other cats. His nose took a forceful blow and scented two lioness, one being vaguely familiar. 'Mm.. who was it now....' his thoughts puzzled, however remembered. 'Ah! Kiara! How did she find my homelands? And is this a relative or friend of some sort?' He asked himself but had no answers.

To get them, he entered through the bushes and revealed himself two the lovely lionesses that ate before him (well, one that is currently eating). He gave a tender smile, bowing to them. Though shy, he seemed more confident since he wasn't sneaked up on by a certain someone (not saying names!~ lol). "I am quite surprise to see you again, Kiara," his tone spoke amused. "And did you bring a friend?" His eyes followed the forms body, his smile curving more. "Oh, where are my manners. I am sure Kiara had said my name before, but to be a gentleman, I will introduce myself.

I am Azizi, the Ruler of the Kawari Pride lands."

[kiara]

Kiara hear the sound of paw steps big ones, she sniffed the air and knew it well Azizi. She waited for him to approach them and when he did she smiled at him "greetings Azizi" she said "I see i am a rather surprising lion" she chuckled remembering when she scared him at the beach . he said he was surprised "Bring her?" she looked at Paralupid "Actually I followed her in" She looked over at Para who was chowing down on the impala she looked back at Azizi "You have very nice pride lands" she said it was very impressive he picked a good spot to settle a watering hole, herds, grass, shade, all in all a nice him she was surprised that no other lions weren't in it. she nudged her new found friend to signal that Azizi was here just in case she was oblivious to his arrival. "Paralupid this Is Azizi, Azizi This is Paralupid, I followed in here in interest in making a new friend" She smiled and waited for her friend to finish eating her meal.
