Her sleek form pressed through the darkness, she belonged here. This was home and she was happy to have it. The shadows engulfed her dark form. Twilit light filtered through the dense foliage above and occasionally caught the flash of salmon which rolled down her spine.
That colour had once upon a time plagued her, it didn't belong to her really and even now she remembered what that colour represented. These days though she loved her colour and what it represented, those in her pride knew she was queen, knew who she was when she padded through the darkened undergrowth. She was the head of the pride, the queen, the ruler and she loved it as much as she loved her subjects.
There had been a time when she had only thought of herself, now though things were different. she had things to do and people to see and today she had her oldest son to find. there was a matter of importance she knew she had to promote on to him. Something very important.

The dark male hid in the shadows, ruby red eyes watched as his mother approached. It was pointless turning away, she would find him, the way she always did. It was strange the way his mother managed these things. he chuckled a little and rose to his paws.
He had grown so much of late, he was almost a head above his small mother yet only an adolescent, his mane had shot down his back and he knew it would soon grow in to a thick luscious mane like his fathers.
"Greetings mother." He whispers stepping towards her and nuzzling her almost affectionately.

Afritti'dogo smiled at her son and nosed him gently. It had been hard for her to learn to be a mother,s he had not been mothered herself and to pass on what she had was not suitable. With age she had become the mother of her cubs just as she was supposed to. Oh how she loved her cubs.
"Hello my love." She cooed looking over her tall lanky boy, she knew he would grow in to a stocky rough and ready male, just as his father was. "I have something to discuss with you my son, come and sit a spell with me." She padded on by him then her tail swaying gently behind her, her deep violet eyes shimmering in the dim light.

Asanbosam looked at his mother half questioningly before moving to walk a step behind her. She was after all, his mother and he followed her as far as she wished him to. She had taught him well to respect her, though she was slight she had learned the hard way how to be a mother, this made her a tough but loving paw to her cubs. Asan didn't mind, she had always cared for him and his adopted siblings the same.
Something to discuss could be an ominous phrase to the young male and he felt a little more than just worried as they padded on through the trees, he knew she was taking him to the water, where the light cast the glistening pool in to a mirror like surface. What was it she wished to discuss?

The older lioness slipped through the dense growth of trees and stopped as they came to the waters edge. Sitting slowly the dark female looked down in tot he glistening pool and smiled. She had always been a little vein, believing herself to be of incomparable beauty, after all her father had once said to him her mother was a wonderful woman, full of spite and hatred, the most beautiful lioness he had known. She cast away her vanity with a head shake and turned her attention back to her son.
"Your father and I have had a discussion my son and we believe that it is time for you to go out in to the world and find yourself a female or two and bring them back to the pride. There has always been a harem within this pride and your father has never used it." She smirked as she said this. "But you and your brother have the right to it. Unfortunately only Shaitani.." She rolled her eyes and gave a heavy sigh "And Ukoo are currently in residence and as neither can currently bare cubs you should find a few more and bring them back to be your personal harem."

Asanbosam blinked owlishly. had his mother just said what he thought she just said? he almost laughed but her tone was so serious he just blinked instead. Unbelieving of what his mother had more or less ordered him to do he opened his mouth, closed it again and went back to thought.
"You want me to find girls to bring back to breed with?" he raised a brow, his mother had been so matter of fact about it it seemed strange, to say the least that he was hearing what she was saying.

Afritti laughed at her sons look and leaned forwards. grooming his face gently she gave a puurr. "There are new babies in the pride my sweet but they will be a long time in growing and only your sisters haven't any cubs at their bodies at the moment. You should be encouraged to find a couple of females with whom you can have fun."
She smiled gently and nudged her youngest son affectionately. "I realise it's alot to take in but you will enjoy the outside world. Maybe you can take your brother or one of the other young males with you? The pride has to thrive my son and it can't thrive on boys alone."

Asanbosam gave a slow nod, he smiled at his mother and gave her an affectionate touch wrapping his neck around hers. "I understand mother, I will take a couple of the other boys with me, we can have an adventure, see a little of the world and return." He smiled happily, pleased now with the revolution of leaving and returning for the pride.
"I'll make you proud mother." Giving a nod he pads off back towards the dens, he knew just who he would take with him, he just had to find them and convince them.

Afritti watched as her son padded off shaking her head she called for him "And asan, speak to your sister before you go my love! She will help to protect you against the sun." She shook her head, he was still a boy, impetuous, adventurous, young. the little adventure would make him stronger and in turn make the pride stronger. It was a good idea, she had had, a very good idea.

He paused for a moment, the sun? he hadn't even thought about it, he had never seen the sun in full tilt before. Puffing out his young chest a large grin turned his maw and he bounded off towards the dens all the faster. he would have to get his recruits quickly if he wanted to make today his first glimpse of a sunrise.
"yes mother!" he called as he sped away his tail high in the air, an honour had been bestowed upon him and he was going to make the most of it.
