Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was early morning, so early that it was only just past midnight. The moon shone in the sky full and bright, bright enough that it could have been day light. It was the absolute perfect scene for one of the darkest and most evil lions around. He was evil in a way that he wanted to irradicate the world of all colored fur. He wanted to murder and murder was what he was good at but to accomplish his task he needed more than just himself and tonight he was out looking for someone that could help him even if it was against their will. He didn't need other evil lions to help him. All he needed was a few good lionesses of his chosen color to make him the most moldable types of followers around. Cubs.

Jeuri stood proud among the tall grass of the savannah bathed in the light of the moon. His body almost seemed to glow as the moonlight hit his pure white fur. This was the perfect setting he needed to achieve the perfect illusion he needed. His plan was to trick a lioness into going back with him to his den where his grandson and most loyal follower Titia waited for him to help imprison the lioness so Jeuri could mate with her and spread his perfect gene's. After such he would watch over the lioness day and night until she birthed his cubs and then the cubs would be taken and raised to be loyal to him and fight for him. It was the perfect plan. Cubs were the most moldable creatures on the planet. They would believe anything they were told and as long as he could keep them seperated from the world until they were grown they would never believe anything beyond what he has lovingly taught them.

Now with his plan practially ready to begin all he had to do was wait for the right lioness to come along. He'd been looking for days now just trying to find one lioness that was pure white. He was having an extremely hard time at it.

Jeuri's keen eyesight spotted the two beautiful females long before they spotted him. His eyes were bright with excitement at the two beauties he'd found. He'd never seen more beautiful girls in his entire life. Not even his runaway mate Tufani was as beautiful as the two standing before him. He couldn't believe his luck at finding two of the most perfect lionesses for his quest. His heart was racing in his chest. What he felt could only be compared to love at first sight.

At first glance of these girls his plan for them changed immediately. If he could get these two to go back with him to his den he would never let them go. His ears twitched at the sound of their lovely voices and he couldn't believe his luck. Without having to try as he usually did Jeuri spread a large and genuine smile across his face and then bowed to the two girls as though they were queens and he a lowly servant come to worship them. "I present my greetings to the beauties before me. My name is Jeuri, King of Kimazeru pride and I am delighted to be in the presense of such lovely angels."

Jeuri was delighted by the reaction of young Lilly. She was going to be easy to convince to come with how quickly she seemed to warm up. His smile never disappeared as he watched Lilly and actually brightened even more as thoughts raced through his head. Lilly was as easily his to command but Lotus. Jeuri was quick to see whatever had flashed in her eyes. She was doubtful of him but still by the looks willing to give him a chance so perhaps she would be easy to convince but a tad harder to keep than Lilly would be.

A light chuckle immenated from Jeuri's maw before he replied to Lotus. "That's alright miss Lotus. Her excitement is very pleasing." He replied to her apology and then lightly shook his head. "Oh no miss Lotus. You are not trespassing I live in the mountains." He stated with a nod of his head to the mountain behind him. "I am merely out enjoying the moonlight and the quiet. It's not often the land looks this beautiful."

Turning his gaze to the stars he sighed and then slowly closed his eyes as if he was trying to absorb what warmth the moon's light was giving off. As he stood there however his stomach gave a slight rumble and he opened his eyes and smiled apologetically to the two females. "I'm sorry. I guess while enjoying my walk I forgot to eat. Would either of you be interested in going back to my pride with me for a bite to eat? It would be my honor to have you lovely ladies join me."

A delighted smile danced all over Jeuri's face. Fate had brought him here and now he was on the right road to begin his plans of conquest. These two were just what he needed to begin. "It's not too far. Just a little climbing to reach the den. My grandson should have a big kill waiting. He is a talented hunter and always catches good kills." Jeuri said a large hint of pride in his voice at his grandson's accomplishments.

With the decision made Jeuri motioned for the girls to walk with him and he lead the way back to the pride making sure to stay at a pace the two could keep up to. The walk wasn't long but a little tough. The climb was almost straight up but not very high as the cliff they climbed was small and at the top was where Jeuri's prides den sat into the next cliff that went even higher. Once they reached the top Jeuri offered his help to the females to get onto the flat ground then once they were up he motioned to the den. "Here we are ladies. My home."

Jeuri smiled at Lotus's reaction to the scenic view that he had just outside his den's entrance. "Yes it is. It's partially the reason why I chose this place for my pride. It's a calming and peaceful scene and it has the most breathtaking view of the sunset in the evening." He explained to her while noting Lilly who looked extremely exhausted.

Behind the three in the darkness of the den Titia noted their arrival immediately and remembered the instruction she'd been given on behavior. She was as ready as ever to take the two into the den and trap them but something was off Jeuri wasn't bringing them into the den as planned. Instead she noted the twisting of Jeuri's tail. It was a silent sign to her and Maovu that the plans were changed. They'd discussed the possibility of Jeuri bringing back pure white lions that would be tricked into staying with the pride but none of them had expected that plan to happen at all but it was. Titia growled so softly that it almost didn't cause a sound at all and then she put on the cheesiest grin she could muster and bounded out of the den and over to Jeuri trying to play her part in the charade. "King Jeuri! You've made it home!" She squeeled and rubbed her head down the length of his side and then she rolled onto the ground with her belly up. Carefully she reach a paw up and pawed at Jeuri's front leg. "I've missed you so much!"

Maovu layed next to his large kill still inside the den and rolled his eyes at Titia. The female was such an irritation sometimes. Jeuri had told her to act loyal and loving not idiotic but now it was Maovu's turn to enter and he was going to be a bit more suave than Titia was. He stood up slowly and padded a few feet out of the den before stopping. "Greetings Sire. It is good to see you are back in one piece. I have caught a good sized dinner for the pride." Maovu said with a graceful bow before he turned to Lilly and Lotus to give them a bow as well but not as low as the one to Jeuri. "Good evening good ladies."

Despite having signaled the pair to enter Jeuri had not been expecting Titia's silly entrance and jumped slightly as she rubbed against him and dropped to the ground in front of him. Giving her a glare only she could see his expression was to warn her of the brutal beating she'd get later for acting this way. The expression only lasted a sec though as Jeuri quickly regained composure and turned to Lilly and Lotus. "Pardon me ladies. These are my two pride members. Titia Ini and Maovu Warithi. Maovu is my grandson and heir to the throne." Jeuri said and once again pride dripped from his words however as he continued that pride disappeared. "Sorry about Titia ladies. She's a bit... overexcentric."

Titia was up almost immediately once she'd seen Jeuri's look. She knew after he was through with her she would be limping for a month. She didn't let her smile waver from her face though the dread of later skipped through her eyes if only for a moment before she turned to the two girls and bowed in greeting. "It's a pleasure to meet you both."

Maovu returned the smile with one just as genuine as the ones Jeuri had portrayed. Even with all the training he had to be an emotionless killing machine he was still a male and very attracted to the pair. Alas he was a dirty minded male and couldn't help the perverted thoughts that ran through his mind. "Welcome to our home. Don't hesitate to ask me for anything while you are here."

Jeuri chuckled slightly at Lilly's comment. It had been very cute how she pointed it out and despite Jeuri's normal attitude towards cuteness he adored how she put it. In some odd way Jeuri felt he might be developing a crush on Lilly. He really was starting to really like her most out of the two. At Lotus's question Jeuri smiled, he was prepared for this question. "Oh no Miss Lotus. Your question is not rude. This is not a coincidence at all. You see how small my pride is, it is because I take in those with fur the color of snow. I do this because as a cub I was made fun of for my fur color made an outcast I guess you could say. I hated being treated different and because of that I have always wanted to make a pride where those of white fur could come and feel welcome. I wanted my pride to be a place where for once in their lives a white furred lion would be loved and appriciated for who they are and not teased for their fur."

Titia stayed quiet now as Jeuri explained and bunch of whoha to the pair of girls he was trying to in a sense 'collect'. Titia was not blind to the fondness that was growing in Jeuri for Lilly. She knew Jeuri well and knew exactly when he was falling for a lioness. This sent waves of jealousy all over her body but she hid it well as she normally did. Why couldn't she ever be the one he fell for?! Titia's smile never wavered on her face as the jealousy continued to rip it's way through her.

Maovu was perfectly composed listening to Jeuri's tale while trying to seem interested and watching the two females faces to know whether or not they believed him.

Jeuri shooked his head at Lotus's question. "It's just the three of us right now. We had a few more members before but we got seperated from them."

Jeuri inwardly leapt for joy at Lilly's question. This was turning out to be even easier than he had expected. He truly couldn't believe his luck. A bright smile crossed his face as he gazed at Lilly. "Of course you can!" He replied very happily. "You are both welcome for as long as you like."

Both Maovu and Titia nodded in agreement with big bright smiles on their faces.
