(Note: Raigin is RPed as a teen)
Raigin stood atop a hill, head held high. He had been training with his mother for a bit, learning how to control is powers before returning to Xanthus to continue is training with him. He hadn't been gone long, but he sensed that change was on the wind. As he gazed at the lands before him, his eyebrows furrowed.
Sparks shot off his paws and ears as he looked from side to side, then raising his head and unleashing a roar to mark his return.

Xanthus stood at the enterance of the forest line where the path to the main part of the woods where the little pack resided with his daughter. Today was the day his pupil was set to return, although yesterday marked a large event the lion should have been there for. And for this the mighty white lion answered back with a roar back to instruct the teen where to come to.
Vicious Murder, the lions daughter and newest pupil, looked up at her father and tilte her head a bit, kneading into the ground with her metalic nails which extended from her metalic paws. "That doesn't sound like a kit, father."
"No, indeed it does not..." He said, hiding the small amounts of pride he had in the young lion's upbringing.

Raigin turned his head towards the sound the roar and grinned darkly. Ah, yes. He was home at last. Quickly bursting into a sprint, the still young half-spirit bolted towards where his instructor was located.
His pace slowed as the familiar white lion was in sight. Somehing seemed...different about him. The sparks around the teen lion flared as he nodded his head in a greeting. "Hello. Xanthus."
The lion's eyes ran briefly over the cub, arching a brow inquisitively.

Xanthus smiled as the teen came into view. Perfect timing. Valiant was older and now with them both in their older stages of life they coul be introduced as Lancelot wished.
"Raigin, this is my daughter, Vicious Murder. Her brother is with his mother. Welcome home. You're no longer a child and it's time."
With a nod of his head in approval of the brilliantly grown teen he turned around and began walking towards where the father and son were waiting for them.
Vicious smiled as she was introduced, an evil heartless smile, with a nod of her head. She was in higher rank than the teen for the next couple of minutes until he was officially made Valiant's stooge. He was big though.. One day he may be bigger than her own father.

The Red Devil stood tall and proud at the entrance of his cave. A throne of make-shift stones...much like his heart stood in front of the entrance. Giving a low snarl, he paced back and forth slowly, aggression taking in. His middle child, Valiant, had grown into a fine warrior through harsh training. His minions were now returning to take their place at his right hand. Soon enough, he would take the throne, and Lancelot would leave everything to Valiant.
He was getting old, Lance had to admit that. He wasn't as strong as he used to be. Lance was growing old, and he needed to leave...so was the ways of the old world he knew and still lived by. Whether Xanthus followed him or not wasn't the question. Giving a light growl, he continued to pace wishing the process would hurry up along leaving him to his being.

The son of the devil sat a bit behind where his father was pacing. He sat as he felt inside, strong, tall and intimidatingly powerful. How his father walked back and forth was mildly disconcerting, they both wanted thi transition to happen quickly and gracefully.
"Father, there was a queston I ment to ask you.. What will you do after I take your place here?"
Xanthus came to the den heading and bowed having no heard any convorsation begin, he was after all very hard of hearing.
"Please, sirs, allow me to introduce to you a well trained killing and fighting machine. He has been through many trials and since his conception has been destined to assist Sir Valiant doing the dirty work that any higher power should need done. With his brute force and supernatural abilities he would make a fine second hand for any lion. This is Raigin, trained by my own paw."
After the best introduction the lion could muster he stepped aside to reveal the teen standing behind him.
Vicious doing as she was told stood a little bit away watching and listening very closely in complete awe of what was going on. Now she wanted to watchthe light show that was suposed to come from the teen to show off his talents with lightening.

Things were moving fast, that was obvious. Raigin, however, was quick to learn. His eyes watched Xanthus as he bowed his head to the two within the den opening. So these were them. The older one, he assumed, was Xanthus's sire. And the younger one was to be his. Raigin flicked his dark eyes over the both of them, nodding his head in a quick bow. Something was odd about the smell of the older one, something that sparked a memory of the time spent with his mother. That lioness... Toki...
He pushed the thought away as he stood tall once more, watching the two higher-ranked lions within the den. Supernatural ability... Was that what it was? No doubt they'd want a demonstration... The sparks at his ears shuttered and pulsated.

"When that time comes, I will tell you, Valiant. For now, continue to learn from me, follow my shadow until the day comes when YOU will be the leader."
Lancelot came forward toward the teen. His eyes were careful on Raigin, ears flicking a little. Taking in the male's scent, he couldn't help but find a hint of his own kin. So...had one of his children finally given him a tool?
With a smug grin, he chuckled. "Raigin, I thank you from the bottom of my own heart. You are truly magnificent and will do my son proud, that I am sure of." He gave a grin over to Xanthus, and a curt nod to his child before letting his attention back on the teen. "So, I ask, who was your dam and sire? I'm a bit curious actually..."

Xanthus stood tall and still, proud of his trainee as he was questioned by his future boss's Father. He was being thanked and accepted already? This was truly an awesome feat. Poor boy didn't know that the next challenge would be far greater.
Valiant was also very impressed but did not pick up any scent of kins, but he did also not grow up in the same pure environment his father did to hone such skills. With his chest puffed out with the knowledge he could one day be the leader of this ruthless little band he nodded approvingly. Before he did his own inspection and got to know the teen, he allowed his father to have first inspections for he was, for now, the leader.
Brutus came about behind his brother, Valiant. There was a dark creepy evil about him that he tried to hide when others were looking. The transformation was evident to only those whom noticed his approach, which in this case was no one (or so he thought). Whispering to his older half brother, "That's him? Nice, can't wait to see what ole one eye will conjure up for me.." Now that his brother had a lackey his trainning was complete, this meant it was time for Brutus to begin his own trainning with his father. Perfectly falling into his plan.
Vicious Murder had never seen the kit before, she noticed the change in him and was very disturbed by it. And a little.. Attracted in one way or another, she wanted to get to know him better for sure.

Raigin watched the movements of the lions around him, making careful notes of quirks that each made, including the new kit who had joined the group. Something seemed off about him, he sensed, but he made no real notice of it. As Lancelot spoke to him, he gave a light nod. "And I will do my best and more to carry out whatever your son may need, sir." As the question of his parents was asked, his tail flicked a bit. "My father is a wanderer of the desert, Bahir. And my mother is the spirit of Pain, Shawnie." His ears pinned back as he took another breath. "My mother holds the power that I now carry, and she has trained me in them. However, there is a second lioness whom I have learned from, who smells of this place. Toki Shikyo." That was it, he concluded. Toki smelled so much of this place. Toki was this lion's daughter.

"Toki? She trained you?" Lancelot tilted his head a little. "I wonder if the rest of my children have completely abandoned me or are simply just helping from afar..." He thought a moment before giving a little smirk. "All right then, Raigin. I think you fit for my son if my daughter had any hand in it." He turned to look over at Valiant. "Want to come down and meet your new partner in crime, dear son?"
He gave a toothy grin before moving over to stand near to Xanthus. "You have done well. But I have yet another task for you..." His tones were hushed and quiet so that only the two males could hear. "Brutus is next in line after Valiant...I don't exactly like it, but if Valiant should fall, he needs to be ready. Do you think you could do some scouting? Oh, and find one like Raigin...powers of the unknown can come in handy." Lancelot chuffed a little. "You could always use your daughter here. I'm sure she and Brutus could make fine friends..." He stared over at the cub for a moment, tail flicking with slight malice. "Maybe she could kill him..."

For a couple moments there Xanthus was deeply enjoying the praise, he surely would go back to his tree to night and celebrate on his Jupiter. But that all ended abruptly as Lancelot began speaking about his daughter and the youngest son of Lancelot. His ear (the whole one) went down to the side and back a little in apologetic shame for his failure to terminate the cub they now call Brutus. "It's not too late for the problem to be fixed, Boss.. I have no doubt in her future abilities as an assasin. I could train her on the side as well as whatever I find for Brutus. Teach her the ways young of deception..." A sneaky smile came across his face as his eyes as well fell on his daughter.
At all the attention so suddenly, Vicious at first didn't know what to do. So instead of coward she stood proud with the metal patch where her heart would be sticking out and shining against the sunlight. Whatever they were talking about, she wanted to represent her father well, and herself.
Valiant was impressed, although he had not met his older half sister, he had heard good things about her. "If Father approves than so do I," he whispered to the kit. With a smirk on his face the adult approached the teen and circled around him nodding. "Raigin, how much experience do you have in the art of wooing a female?" If the red demon was to take the devil's place, he wanted to have his own legacy beginning so his 'brother' Brutus never had a chance.
Brutus watched the interaction between his father and his own lackey until he could no longer hear them anymore and instead watched Raigin. "So what'd our half-sister teach you, Ragen?" He got closer to the shocking lion (pun!) and sniffed trying to pick up another scent to get an idea of Toki for she may be coming after him after Lancelot is gone.
Valiant gave Raigin a 'this b*****d is annoying as hell' look shaking his mane in disgust.

"She did, sir." Raigin nodded his head once more, flicking his tail behind him. "She is currently staying with her father in her pride. Dark lions, they all are. All trained in combat by the best." His mind flashed back to where he had been for the past weeks. "As far as I'm concerned, you may consider them deep allies."
Lancelot turned his attention to Xanthus, Raigin turned his attention to the other two. As Valiant spoke, the teen blinked. "I can't say I do, sir." The teen gave a dim chuckle. "Toki... Toki told me what to expect. What I should do around females who seem to be nothing but scum that I can use... I haven't met many females other than those at my mother's pride, though, and none sparked my interest." His eyes pressed to the kit as he circled.
He caught on quickly to bits of conversation and the look that Valiant gave him. This kit was quite a nuisance. "Your half-sister is quite the character." Raigin thought back to Kiwa and Lancelot's daughter. "Xanthus taught me combat, my mother taught me my powers, and Toki taught me how to act." He smirked lightly and returned a knowing 'I know what you mean' glance to Valiant. "Don't get too close. You might get shocked."

As Lancelot listened, he couldn't help but watch Valiant and Raigin. The two didn't seem to like his son either. He slowly began to grin. "Or maybe..." He whispered. "They could kill him..." With a flick of his tail be looked back to Xanthus. "Your daughter could possibly train with him, let down his guard. Make him think that he IS next in line instead of Valiant. The trick is, he must defeat Valiant in a duel. If Brutus is defeated, he is an outcast to this pride and must LEAVE immediately." His eyes were glinted at the devious plan. "That way, we can't say that we didn't give him a shot." Lancelot was quite pleased with himself. This was going to be easier, and much more fun, than he would ever think.
Gineva's son would be no more.
