Rules Are Meant To Be "Broken"

[drakel]

Hallow blinked. "More power to you, I guess" she sighed, looking at the white cub. "Murder, and blood is only another part of our lives, but remember that a few years from now. When the humans have you in teh grips, and wonder. Are you any better?" she mewed staring up at the sky. She shook out her pelt. "Lioness? Why do you feel the need to be rude to thoes around you? You are young, and weak at this time. maybe you will become the head huntress one day, but for now you need to earn respect, not claim it." Hallow grunted.

Falz stared up at his mother. She was so smart and brave, but.. she always seemed hurt.

[Bhu]

The white male looked to the female, considering her words. He was silent for only a moment before his fire returned. "Those stupid Murder Apes better not lay a filthy paw on me. Those that are forced to be with them are weak in soul and body. We are wildcats and anyone with half a brain can defeat those foolish upwalkers. Even my mouse dung for brains parents escaped them." he spat, not allow himself to be beat in thise battle of words.

[lapara]

Lapara ahd been grooming her cubs. She heard the arguing and sighed. "You cubs stay right HERE. I'll be back in a moment. Puffball, you make sure that your sister doesn't run off." She said. She walked towards the arguing lions. "Ok. What's all this talk about murder? How about you just leave each other alone and mind your own buisness. Just becasue you've annoyed each other does not mean you have to see each other every day." She said andbraced herself, waiting for the snappy retort that always followed her peace statments.

[Bhu]

The pale male(hehe, rhyme!) turned his harsh orbs to the newcomer. "And who, may I ask, are you?" he snarled. He'd been within the new lioness' presence for a whole 2 seconds and he despised her already. "Who are you to walse on over and tell us how to act? You are the parents of none of us, therefore have no need to even be here!" his claws flexed in and out in frustration. "Besides, it is a lions nature to fight. Y'all are lucky I have lunged for any throats!"

[02moonpelt02]

Izaray snorted and rolled her eyes at the lioness. "I don't need to claim it, I already have it," she hissed, glaring at the female with blazing eyes. "And I don't need someone else to protect me!" she snapped in addition, feeling even more irritated at the felines around her.

When the new lioness stalked out of the long grass, Izaray snarled when she heard her remark and smirked at the pale cub beside her when he sneered at her so openly. She frowned at him though, when he spoke of lunging at someone's throat, and rolled her eyes. "As if! You couldn't even kill a blade of grass let alone full grown lion with those tiny claw!" she sneered, shaking her pelt to show her indifference to the situation.

Finally turning to the new lioness, she narrowed her eyes in agitation. "Just get out of here, you have no business with us!" she snarled, sniffing in her direction and smirking when she smelled the milky scent of cubs on her. "You wouldn't want to leave your cubs all alone, not with my Pride so near. They'll be done hunting by now and my mother will have sent one of the others to fetch me. My father has probably smelled the meat and blood and is heading to the kill right now. The situation isn't in your favor, seeing how many potential predators are around to harm your precious bundle," she said, curling her lip in dissgust.

[Bhu]

Ackecheta quickly looked to the female, playful aggitation in his orbs. "Oh, and you could? My claws are no smaller then yours!" his tone was like that of an actual cub for the first time since he'd met these other beings. A cruel smile crossed his maw as he looked back to the new lioness, nodding in agreement to the young females words. He didn't know her pride, but he was aware the fact a large male would slaughter cubs that are not his own, just to put the lioness in heat again.

"Wouldn't want anything to happen to the precious cubbies, now would we?" he scented the air and put mocked horror on his face. "Uh oh, I scent Mr.Pride leader now." his voice broke at that, a cackle erupting as his tail swished in pleasure.



"Shut up, pesty scrap." a snarl echoed through the cleared area, directed towards the white male, before a large male stepped into view. His eyes looked to the youngest lioness, and an almost gentle look came over him. "Izaray, what are you doing? You're going to get yourself sick hanging with these mange bags." Ezhno took a few steps forward, eyes growing dark as he let his orbs drift to each unfamiliar lion. "What are all of you doing so close to Akando border? You trying to sneak into our lands and steal our prey?" his voice grew lower with each word, a scowl on his face before he settled beside the lioness cub, paws defensivly in front of her, but not in a way it blocked her view of everything.

[02moonpelt02]

Izaray smiled up at her father, an innocent look coming over her as she rubbed around his legs in greeting. At his words she smirked back at the other felines and looked up at her father, her smirk still in place. "Yes, daddy. I'm sorry for you to have found me with such disgraces," she said, purring when he put his legs protectively in front of her. She watched the others with gleaming amber eyes and felt powerful with her father to back her up. She caught the eye of the white male cub and her smirk grew slightly lighter, a flash of concern clouding the blaze in her eyes, though it disappeared before anyone could really be sure. She looked away from him, sinking her claws into the earth in frustration. "I suggest you all get out of here before your ripped to shreds!" she said, giggling while saying so, as if the gorey scene she saw in her mind was comical to her. This was one of the reasons her father might have favored her over her soft-hearted sisters, she had a cruel mind, one that was the spitting image of her father's.

[drakel]

Hallow blinked up at the new female, than the male. She looked about, listening but truly not caring. The lioness snorted at the alpha's words. "Stealing food" she grumbled under her breath. "We pad in an unclaimed area and you acuse us of food theiving" she snarled at the large male. "Bah!" she spat, turning around, her hackles sticking up. Have to leave. have to leave before Falz gets hurt. "Falz!" she hissed stalking toward the brush once more.

The young cub jumped slightly at his mothers words. Than again she was allways harsh and cold around other adults. His pelt bristled slightly as Falz bounded after her, his little paws smacking the ground hard to catch up. "Bye!" he mewed over his shoulder. Even if the other cubs were rude, it didn't mean he had to be. "Wish you good luck in your new place, sir!" he called to the alpha, tail swishing quikly.

[lapara]

Laela, the year old lioness, ran to her mother's side. "'precious little bundles'? How about saying that to my face! She snarled, not entending to fight. Holitorn ran up to his mother and said, "Sorry I couldn't keep her back there. I'm glad she led us to these insult-throwing new-borns.". Lapara put her tail over her son's mouth and drew her daughter closer to her with her paw. "That's no way to speak to a leader's daughter now is it? And remeber all I taught you about fighting. Lapara said, refering to horriblness of it. Laela glared at her mother with humiliation on her eyes but said nothing.

[Bhu]

"Perhaps they be unclaimed, for now. Soon Akando will expand." he snarled after the departing female. When the cub bellowed a goodbye to his daughter and the others, he gave a glare. Even as the male wished him luck, he maintained the glare. "I do not need luck from a mere cub." he snapped before turning to the others.

The eyes grew cold as the young tom insulted his daughter. "What did you just call Izaray?" he growled in a low tone, responding to the 'insult throwing newborns' comment. He stepped away from his daughter, approaching lioness and cubs. His claws remained sheath, letting all be aware he had no intention to fight for the moment, and lowered his face to the males. "My daughter is no newborn. Her future is much lighter then yours, guaranteed. She'll be the next head huntress of Akando, once my time has run dry. What does your future hold? Hmmm..." he waited one moment before giving teh answer. "Nothing. Like your mother, you'll remain a loner. No females will do your bidding and you will have no pride to be proud of. Think about that next time you decide to throw insults at one who may be younger, but already has a higher rank then yourself."

[lapara]

Holitorn snorted. "HA! I'd rather be a loner for the rest of my life then be in a pride with such a rude, mean leader with such a rude daughter! As for females, I would much rather have one that I loved with all my heart then have so many that I called them 'females' rather then by her name." He mocked. and Holitorn truely belived it.

"HUSH! Don't you relise this is an adult, male, pride leader your talking to? Do you want him to get angry?"Lapara was furious at her son. Even though the words he said were true, she couldn't bear to lose her son. It would tear her apart. It would tear her hear apart like it had last time.

[Bhu]

That was it. The males words made Ezhno's orbs narrow to mere slits. In a second his paw was unsheathed and swinging through the air. He would not kill the cub, but a knock aside with gouges that would scar might teach him the respect that his mother had failed to teach. The whole scene happened in silence, too quickly for one to react. Ezhno was not a pleasant lion, and his anger was shown in violence.

Ackecheta listened to the conversion in amusement, not at all phased when the male had insulted him. Only when the pride leader wacked the other cub aside, claws unsheathed, did his smile fall. But the moment of hesitation was short, and soon the largest of grins crossed his maw. "Finally, a pride leader who knows how to get some respect!" he found himself mewing before he could think. Turning to the royal daughter, he no longer looked teasing. "I was wrong about you and your dad. If he is your blood father, you surly could defeat me when you get older!" he then fell silent, sheepishness in his gaze. Turning back to the where he saw the male swipe the cub aside, he stared with interest.

[lapara]

Lapara roared. She was not usually this angry, but when someone threatens her cubs like that... She beared her teath and unshethed her claws and ran them along the male's face. She then leaped forward and went to bite the lion's ear.

Holitorn jumped on the lion's back and sank his teeth into the fur.

Laela roared to and scratched the lion's paw. then turned to the others in case they tried to help the pride leader.

[02moonpelt02]

Izaray's eyes sparkled when the white cub apolagized and "praised" her in a way. She was almost glad to have this cub's acceptance, though she couldn't figure out why. She winked at the cub to show she forgave him. Before she could do any more, the older lioness started battling her father, her two cubs quickly following her in the attack.

Letting out a snarl, she leaped at the female cub who had turned her back from her father and herself. She scored her claws down her flank and sunk her teeth in her throat as she had seen her Pride members do during a kill. She kept her back claws working along the female's spine, furious towards her for helping her idiotic mother in attacking her father.

OOC: Don't blame me for the suckiness, blame the time and my vreative juices.

[Bhu]

Eyes widened as a counter attack was made against him. Ezhno let a alerting roar to escape, loud enough to be heard for close to 3 miles. It was a battle call; one that alerted fellow pride members of an attack. Like all good lions, his females should be able to follow the sounds of battle to the spot where the fight took place.

As if unphased by the deep gauges on his own face, similar to the ones he had given the cub that spoke so rudely to him. His size was much larger then the lioness; as is with most lions versus lioness. The cub on his back went ignored, the scar lined male used to pains such as this. It was his duty in life, afterall, to fight other males and intruding animals. A fight was not uncommon for him and it was almost as if he didn't care.

Ezhno leapt to his hind legs like an angered grizzly or a Murder Ape. His eyes were cold, no longer caring whether this lions be dead or alive. He took a few steps forward, then brought his paws down so as to land on the adult lioness's back, meaning to knock her off her feet, and perhaps even knock the breath out of her.


Ackecheta smiled almost fondly as the female winked her forgiveness, shocked at himself for caring. However, the gentleness disapeared as the cleared area leapt into battle. Even the royal cub bounded to aid her father; taking the responsibility to keep the female cub busy.

All opposing lions were taken care of, except the one male dangling from the pride leaders back. Without a thought or hesitation, Ackecheta leapt into action, almost seeming like he was going to attack the adult male. However, in mid leap, he turned at an angle and outstretched his paws. His aim was to tackle the cub, making it so he fought the young male, instead of Izaray's father fighting lioness and cub.
