Rakuen

[BookWorm]

The last few followers were being picked off and killed. Liseli saw the scruffy looking lion who she had heard ask the leader when they would enter the territory. He was missing an ear and part of his tail. He was attempting to crawl away from the carnage to escape. Liseli stepped on his tail and flipped him over. His eyes gazed in fear as she bared her fangs. "If any of you idiots try to step foot on our territory again, I'll have my clan here rip you limb from limb. Got it?" He shook his head furiously, tears streaming from his face. "Oh, and tell the ruler of your clan that he will have to do much better if he thinks of opposing Rakuen. Now get out of my sight!" Liseli roared and took her paw off his short tail. He scrambled out from under her and shot away from where he came. Rakuen cheered. Another great victory for her clan. "And I lead it," she thought proudly. Before her pride could get the best of her, she remembered how her friends had attacked and how Buta, Toreek, and Sheiba had all helped her. She ran over to Sheiba and rubbed her head against hers. "Well done, sister. And thanks for saving me." She then roared to stop the happy cheers and told her clan, "Well done Rakuen! Now, I'd appreciate it if some of you dragged the enemy bodies out of the territory before the vultures get here and can a couple of you bury the four bodies we have? They died protecting Rakuen, and that is an honor in itself. Now, its time to get back to the dens. Come on!" And with that Liseli lead her pride home.

As the remaining enemy survivers fled Rakuen's lands, Toreek sat down and started grooming himself. His face, mane and forepaws were stained from all the blood shed. He could aready sense Dazaine was gonna do the same thing.

After a while, Buta showed up before him, and gentl dropped a cub by his feet.

"Found a cub crying beside his farther. Yet looking at me, he thinks I'm his farther now...''

Toreek was surprised the cub was even there. He could have easily been killed by one of the fleeing outsiders.

"We have to find this cub's mother... I know nothing about cubs, but I'll help in anyway I can to find his family." Toreek said seriously to Buta. Looking at the young cub crying reminded him of when he lost his mother... he felt... hopeless then. "Let me take him to the dens. I'll ask the lionesses if they recognise him." Toreek grabbed the little cub by the scruff and tried to find his mother near where the lionesses gathered to rest and lick their wounds. He was bound to find his mother there. If she was alive...

Buta looked a Toreek taking the cub to a safe place. Soon as the cup moved his head to look at Buta. He said. ''Papa....'' whispering to himself. Buta gazed for a momunt. and looked out in to the open.

Buta looked At Toreek. and began to run. up to him to catch up. Soon as he was beside Toreek the cub yelled out ''....dady!.....'' in a happy way. Buta looked at the cub funny. thinking ''ugh...'' closing his eyes as they walked on.

[Arukardis]

"Say Buta.. why don't you take him? He really seems to like you." Toreek dropped the cub softly on the ground and nudged him in a playful matter.

The tiny dark cub ran over to Buta's forepaws, resting on top of them.

Dazaine sat with a smirk on her face, watching as the last stragglers of the other pride left, bloodied and beaten. She lifted a paw to her muzzle and began to lap at the blood in an attempt to groom herself. Hearing Toreek speak to some other pride member, she picked herself up, only to cringe and plop bak onto her haunches. Curiously, she looked down and saw a long gash on her side that she had torn open on her shoulder. Figuring that the damage was already down, she huffed and stood once more, tail-tip twitching in slight annoyance. With a slight limp, she padded toward Toreek, surprised to see a cub walking beside the nearby Buta. "Where in the world did he come from?" She nearly yowled, stepping in beside Toreek. The lioness then saw the oppurtunity to further clear her maw of blood, and decided to do said action with sweeps of her tongue.

Liseli walked to her den and collapsed. She winced with pain as she fell to the ground. Everything hurt. Her neck finally stopped bleeding, but she had lost a lot of blood. Her eyes drooped as she started to fall asleep, but before she could close her eyes the smell of meat filling her nostrils. She raised her head as best as she could to see a small bundle of it sitting at the foot of the den. It had been wrapped in a fern and decorated with flowers. She smiled. Someone was looking out for her, but she didn't know who. "Oh well, time will tell who it is..." And Liseli fell into a dreamless sleep.

[butathelion]

Looked down, on to the cub. Buta then looked up to Toreek. frowning at Toreek for a moment. ''Fine ill look after him...'' as the cub looked up to Buta happy. Because Buta said he will look after him.

Buta and Toreek looked at the cub. Buta said to the cub ''Want a piggy back ride?...'' as Buta grind at the cub. The cub smilies at Buta.

[butathelion]

(gtg T_T control my Lion if you want :3 also the cub is a dark-ish red pelt with a light brown under belly.)

[Arukardis]

"Buta found him near his late father. We're trying to figure out where is mother is." Toreek said looking at the happy cub now in Buta's back.

[[sorry for the quick posts, but I got to go! I've got an exam tomorrow x) *goes to bed*

Oh and the cubs color is adorable! <3]]

[Sheiba]

Sheiba had sighed as she looked at the now dead leader, also the others. Some of the lions from Rakuen were dragging the dead bodies out of the territories, Sheiba had seen the cub that was calling Buta and/or Toreek his or her daddy. Sheiba blinked, walking over to the two "Oi, is this little one from the other clan?" she asked, glaring at the small cub which seemed to be sprawling around on the ground by now. She couldn't help but smile at the sight of the cub, it looks so much like Mouse.

Liseli woke up, her muscles sore and her body stiff. She stretched and winced in pain, and then she remembered the meat someone had wrapped for her. She walked over to it and her stomach grumbled; it seemed like forever since she had eaten. She downed the elephant meat quickly. Her purple eyes looked at the pink and white flowers, her curiousity getting the best of her. She wanted to know who it was, and why they left it. She then remembered the three who had saved her, so she went over to the group sitting together. "Hey guys. Thanks for saving my butt out there, without you I wouldn't be here right now." She went over to Toreek, Buta, and Sheiba and licked each of their cheeks to show her thanks. She then saw the cub on Buta's back. "Is he yours?"

[Sheiba]

Sheiba smiled, nuzzling Liseli "You're awake already..? Do you feel OK? Did you eat the elephant meat?" she had so many questions, she stood up and then walked over to where Liseli was, sitting down again. "Thats what I was asking." she said, still smiling to see that Liseli was OK.

[butathelion]

looked to Sheiba, as the cub started playing with Buta's long fluffy tail. ''uh-... what are you doing?''asked Buta to the cub. The cub looked at Buta and started crawling onto the ground. ''praying your tail...'' said the cub.

''Right.... praying....'' said Buta as he nodded. turning his head slightly away.

[BookWorm]

Liseli laughed. "So it was you who left the meat? That was so nice of you. The flowers were a nice touch," She nuzzled Sheiba back. She laughed at the cub playing with Buta's tail. Buta looked away, and it was too hard for her to read his face. Liseli picked the cub up by the scruff of his neck and laid him between her paws. She flipped him over gently and nuzzled his stomach. He laughed and pawed her face. "What's your name, little one?"

[butathelion]

Buta looked at Liseli and said ''well it looks like. he thinks I'm farther now....'' As Buta tilted his head to the side.
