The male pushed on forward and ran on, wind whipping around him. The only times he ever ran this fast was in the morning when no one else was awake to hinder him. He could run all he wanted, as fast as he wanted until he fell short of breath. He was able to race to the border and back without a need to stop, quite proud of himself for that.
Heading past the Wildebeest Gorge, the wind that normally whipped around him seemed to be pulled away from him. Such a thing never happened before and again his natural curiosity's rose. Slowing down to a trot, his gaze scanned the area. The wind was being pulled from him. Looking down at the golden paws that carried him, the grass and dirt moved in the same direction. What sort of thing could be causing this?
Moving toward the pulling force it felt as if it was another attraction like Nix's static. Was this her doing? No, the Goddess of Lightning had never did something like this before...
As he got closer to the edge, his eyes fell upon a large, brown female.
Who was she?
For now, he best hide and keep his presence until he knew what this one was up to. By the looks of it, the being was a God. Better yet, a Goddess.
"... Lady... Chamchela?"

The goddess had spent all of her free time training as much as she could around the limiter's power. She was currently admiring one of her creations, small by their potential full size, standing on all fours as her tail lashed behind her slowly with satisfaction. She had grown considerably since her last trip to these lands, even larger than the average female her age, maybe the size of an adolescent male. It was apparent that her grandfather's size had finally passed down to someone in the family, even if the other half of her lineage would keep her in the smaller range of the large scale.
((So she's about the size of a larger male, still considerably smaller than a Firekin, though, at her age.))
She was just about to dismiss the twister when she heard her full name, snapping her abruptly from her practice. Snatching her head and upper body around with sharp attention, the tornado dispelled just as suddenly, the winds seeming to snap out in all directions as it quickly dispersed.
"Who the hell is that?" She irritably growled, eyes quickly finding the source of the voice. A face from her childhood? It certainly wasn't Nissa, Nissa knew better, but who then?
Surely if he knew her by name, she'd told him to call her just Elly, or could this be one of the few she had made the exception for by giving her full name? Her eyes narrowed, trying to place a name with said face of this.

"One should say, 'who the hell are you.' but regardless, it got the point across. Do forgive me for... intruding. I was only curious to see why the wind around here was being taken and here I find Lady Elly Goddess of Tornadoes out here again," Zeki smiled and took a few steps forward before dipping into a regal bow. He remembered the Goddess, her name just slipped. "Forgive me again for using your full name when you specifically told me to call you 'Elly'." again he dipped in submission as an apology.
It had been too long of a time since he had seen the Goddess, he was still young, around the same age they were (or she appeared to be). Now his mane was growing as she was growing it seemed as well. Both able to produce cubs too. With a passing glance, he noticed that some of the rocks and dirt have been misplaced. If he remembered correctly, she was still learning how to control her powers fully. Looking at what she was able to do just now, she seemed on her way to a goal like that.
"I thought you would be far from here, Lady Elly, wings take flight, soaring to far away places," he smiled. "I thought I wouldn't see you again..."

Her brow arched slightly, watching the familiar golden coat step into view. Ahhh... NOW she knew who she was dealing with. The goddess seemed to relax a hair or two, or fur rather, particularly calmed by the show of respect. Though not at all one for formalities, Elly did seem to enjoy a bit as long as it was in small supply, something she continued to carry from her childhood, when she had once so craved approval, and from males especially, respect, though unwilling to actually seek it.
"Zeki... You didn't really think that you'd seen the last of me, did you?"
What -was- it about these lands that drew her back again and again? Something about them called to her, though only faintly. Despite her destructive nature she did have to admit that she enjoyed being able to go someplace to relax without worries now and then, and in all of the lands, the Pridelands was the one place to do that without going bored out of your mind.
He had gotten bigger, but with as long as her chidlhood seemed to stretch and as long as she'd been away, who knew, he might have grown long before she did.

Zeki looked around once again and felt that the wind just seemed to die away, returning to the way it was, his chest slowly relaxing from the morning run. He turned to the Goddess and smiled again, she was as lovely as remembered, and that tomboyish fur on her head still made him chuckle a little. In its own way, it was cute and yet showed that she was a wild thing and her powers made that quite clear.
"Well, you are a Goddess, with wings and gifts, you have duties to live up to like all Gods and Goddesses, I would assume. Perhaps you might have found a better place. Perhaps you found a special someone to be with?" he smirked at the last remark. "Or just grown bored of us Pride Landers and our ever so polite and humble ways."
Like Ziza, he was not afraid to harm a female, her feelings perhaps, but when it came to challenges, he never backed down if the female was serious about it. Was Elly the same way? Well, in a different way but in the same sort of view. But he had honestly thought so.
Her body had become more lithe than last time, leander too. Her wings larger and her fur more luxurious. Catching himself staring, he took a few bold steps closer.
"After we first met, I thought you left to control your powers some more. Did you think about being able to create a tornado soft as the gentle wind or is that a task far too out of reach for a wild element like you?"
An honest question.

Still as tomboyish as ever, Elly snorted, folding her wings fully to her sides almost as an afterthought.
"Someone special? Pffft! Ha! You almost sound like my mother! I'm not interested in getting tied down and I sure as heck ain't lookin' for love. That's for girly-girls and sissy's." Another chortle, her tail whipping to one side before twitching back again. "You'd think so," Came the response to becoming bored with these lands. "but it actually just makes you guys more fun to try to corrupt." She grinned toothily, and not in an innocent manner. Elly certainly did live up to her joy for trouble, though she thankfully kept it mild and at worst would get into scuffles from time to time with random creatures, wild dogs, other lions, so on and so forth.
As he drew closer she moved to one side of him, stepping past to find a path further down into the flat of the gorge.
"We don't know how to be gentle." She confirmed, referring to "her" tornadoes as if they were living beings, one and the same with her, or the other way around, who knew? She did in fact believe them to be lively things, twisting and turning and unpredictable force of nature not to be trifled with, unmatched by even the lightning or the rains and the tamer winds. Nothing could stop a tornado but the weather itself from whence it came, unless of course that tornado was confronting it's mistress. They answered her beck and call, and yet she felt a respect for them, and -from- them.
But Elly would never put these thoughts into any form for another to hear or see. It was mushy stuff, in it's own right, and that went against her own little personal code of what to and what was not acceptable behavior to share with the rest of the world.

Yes, very much like Aziza. She was not the sort of girl who wanted to be reminded she was one, to be seen as one of the guys who could handle themselves and fight. Not afraid to get dirty. Who was Zeki to get in the way and say otherwise, females were to be respected, sure, and that meant their choices in life. "Hey, hey, I was only saying, it's not like I meant you actually had one. Someone as tough as you? Probably beat someone for even laying eyes on you," he laughed and quickly followed suit, sticking close. when she flicked her tail, he was a bit hesitant to follow in case she whipped up one of her tornadoes. "You will be mistaken as to who you can and can't corrupt. I am a Pride Lander, as you know and I have yet to be corrupted by any means by your paws. So what do you say to that, Oh Mighty Goddess that Destroys all," he verbally poked her in jest as he let out another laugh.
"We?" he questioned silently. He looked around and only thought the only 'we' there could be was she and him. He was gentle, he could be incredibly gentle and he'd show her how gentle he could be if she allowed it. But with previous demonstrations, he was unsure if she was.
Zeki had wondered moments on end about God-Mortal families ever since he had met Lady Mtima'safi, Goddess of Souls. He wondered if he was ever fortunate to find an sort of relationship as close to a mate with a Goddess, any sort really. His name meant 'God's Will Strengthens' and perhaps a God, or rather, Goddess would make him strong spiritually. Besides, if he planned to have a family, he wanted them to be safe and protected. . . Could a Goddess provide that too? He nagged himself and pushed the thought aside. If he were ever to love a Goddess to any degree, he would have to establish a permanent connection with her his entire life. He was unsure if he or even she would be willing to do that, however, the thought still tickled his thoughts.
Zeki walked along side the Goddess and spoke.
"So, what did you many to get done with your time away from the Pride Lands? You missed some things, there are some Goddesses here. And my mane grew out too!" he chuckled, fluffing himself, trying to impress her in the very least. Make her laugh at most.
