( Cub Jemmnu had a pinker snout, big eyes and still a longer tail- he can resemble like a snow leopard in the whispiness )
Italized here is for when Jem speaks and daddy speaks in bold.
A gruff male walked with a head held high, and tight on his heels was a cub. The only cub in his litter and although pleased with the fact that it had gotten his long fur from its mother- it started to act.. Odd. Still regardless of the fact, he would make sure the young one had standings with the royal family like he did, a council member and loyal friend to the king.
"Jemmnu."
"Yes.. papa?" The questionable ring of a cute voice rang out.
"Father." He strictly retorted back as if to bite, turning his face at his son in disappointment.
".....yes father.."
"You will do well to be friends with the king's offspring. You must learn loyalty and dedication."
"..Yes father.."
"I heard there was a male among them- you need to make friends. I'm sure you won't have a problem with that, of course. This will mean you must dedicate your whole time in making sure your friends with him."
"What about my other friends? What's so special about this one?"
"He is the King's SON~! That's whats different- not some lowly ranked idiot that will do nothing for you." He hissed..
Jemmnu's ears fell. "How about if I don't-"
"YOU WILL." His father's paw slammed in to the ground and echoed around the caves as he threw his son down and under his paw. Pushing his claws in. "You will do as I say- not another don't-if- ands about it. Learn it now while you still live- you will be of use to me. Your lucky you were birthed from that female- or I wouldn't even have allowed you to live this far." He hissed at him. Of course, his father had a male 'bro' but the mate thing was reserved and used in secret to Jem's mother. After the anger had passed- he let Jem free of his paw. Gasping for air. "Shut it." He sneered and continued on with hefty full steps. Sure steps- like a solider.
He lowered his head- he hated this prince already.. Having to follow behind his father the whole time. Was he ashamed of him looking girly? He knew his mother was. Shaking his head of thoughts when they were interrupted by his father greeting the guards. Upon arrival they were invited in to the chamber where the new borns were.. and when Jem's head stuck out to look over.. The sight of the wing marking and then those eyes that greeted him- drew him in.. "Woah..."
---- Time skip to mid cub - juvs ----
Jem's face had gotten pretty blank with his other friends as he spent most of the time with the king's son. Playing with him, watching over him and being right there through long boring talks. He was tackled by his older friend then rushed in with a male his same age. "Wanna play?" "Hhahaa- I would but I gotta go.." "What are you in a hurry to get to." "Father wants me to sit with the-" "Prince. We know. You two have been spending an AWFUL lot of time together. No wonder you've gotten so stuck up lately. To royal~ to play with your REAL friends huh." The older one spat at him and pushed him. "Hey~! He is my friend too. He isn't even like that!" "Yea- keep protecting him- like some lacky. You know I heard-" Jem couldn't take it and bombrushed the male before he could even utter the words. "Shut up!" He yelled. After a few moments of the tussle- his same aged friend pulled the older one away. "Forget we were ever friends!" Though Jem was still angry- the words stung him. Turning tail.
Rushing over to the chambers where they were holding the grand meeting, he tried to sneak in and lowered his way to Nahasi. Blood dripping down the side of his face unknowingly as he searched Nahasi out of the crowd.

Nahasi stared at his father towering over the others. He spoke to the council about the lake overflowing. All Nahasi could hear was blah blah blahblah blah. As a prince he was suposed to be around the meetings along with his brothers. His brothers were lined next to him, all smaller than he was. Luckily Nahasi had inherited his fathers larger build. The other cubs didn't stand a chance winning the tournament of the crown. He would still do his training though, just in case.
In the corner of his eye he thought he saw a familiar face. He glanced turned his head, making it obvious that he wasn't paying attention. A couple of the council members rolled their eyes when they saw this. It didn't matter to him. It wouldn't be long until they would be taking orders from him! He grinned as he thought about it. His eyes lite up when he realized it was Jemmnu. Before the meeting he wanted to go play with Jemmnu, but his father ordered him to come to the meeting, saying that he would have to learn how oversee the meetings. Nahasi replied with 'When I'm king there won't be anymore stupid meetings'
Seeing Jemmnu made being in the meeting even more unbearable. He decided he would just have to get out of the meeting. Quickly, looking away from his friend and back to his father, he went up to the king. He looked a bit sheepish, especially now with all the eyes on him. Than he let out two weak coughs. “Daddy, I'm sick. Can I please rest?” His father stared into his bicolored eyes and than nodded his head. Nahasi grinned and darted toward Jemmnu.
“Jemmnu! Jemmnu are you ready to play?” He didn't even notice the blood on his friend until he got closer. "What happened Jemmnu?"

When the crowd got quiet, his ears went down and he too lifted his head for the reason.. after a few moments he heard shuffling and Nahasi came out of the crowd. He couldn't help but plaster a smile on his face for him and wag his tail. "Yep!" But then his vision got blurry for a moment but he shook it off non the less, making blood fling in several directions.
"Huh? Whatddya mean?" Tilting his head, looking sorta bothered but trying so hard to cover it up. "We better get out of here before they see you faked it." Sticking out his tongue as he offered a friendly rub of the shoulder before circling behind him and pushing his rump forward. "Better get you to bed~!" He spoke slightly louder as if to act as if he were 'scold'ing the male for his well being.. Really he knew his friend now way too well. Putting to paws to his rump to push as he fake smiled to the adults whom seemed rather annoyed at both of them for interrupting their meeting. At least the prince was getting 'well' and in good paws.
His own father giving him a stare then lifted his chest up as if somewhat agreeable that Jem was taking 'charge' of Nahasi's care. Still interrupting a meeting of such importance would still give him a 'talk' when he got home. For now, Jem will relish in the freedom of having fun with his friend.. for now. Once they got out of the chamber he felt the gash finally and pawed at it repeatedly. Then put his paw back up to push Hasi before realizing blood- but he wouldn't think it was his... he was bright but naive to wounds that he had. "Your bleeding~!" He gasped and quickly came up to Hasi's side. "What happened? Maybe you weren't faking it~ Can you walk? I think I can carry you~!" Wouldn't that be something to see... The dedication was there at least.

“Stop pushing!” Nahasi complained loudly. He didn't appreciate anyone pushing him, especially his friends. It was bad enough when adult did it, but when Jem did it it was just embarrassing! “I'll go to bed just stop pushing!”
“I'm fine Jem!” He said in a quiet yell, not wanting anyone else to hear him. “I am not bleeding you are! Don't carry me. You'll drop me.” He had a couple bad experiences already with others trying to carry him. They almost always dropped him and after a while he developed a hatred of being picked up by anyone.
Carefully Nahasi touched Jemmnu above his wound. “You're bleeding here. Doesn't it hurt?” Nahasi asked looking at it carefully. It looked bad, though Nahasi really couldn't tell. He never got seriously injured. Sure he trained a lot and got bruised, but this was different. “I can see if I can get someone to fix it for you.”

The touch felt as though ... it were not touched at all. Numb the feeling was. Shaking his head. "Nope..nope~" He claimed not to be ailed. Huffing a little. "I would neverber drop you." He gruffed a little almost offended in that matter but shrugged it off as he always did. "I'm fine~ I don't neeb to be fix'ned. " Smiling widely as he leaned in to softly brush his cheek against Hasi.
"Sorry wasn't here earlier." Rolling his eyes. "Come on.. I found a place we can call home." Purring and slowly turning, letting his tail touch where ever it could to Hasi's limbs. Laughing softly as he tried to make the other worry less. He really didn't feel anything.. maybe it wasn't that bad after all! He'll be fine~ daddy said he was strong.. or was suppose to be anyways.
Showing the way to through the caves. Dodging fills and holes.

He decided to drop the fact Jem was bleeding. It wasn't worth arguing about. It the leopard was going to ignore his injury than Nahasi wasn't going to try and show him how badly he was hurt.
Nahasi let the leopard's tail touch him and he laughed with his friend. "A place we can call home?" he repeated curiously. He loved his den, though he wished he had his own place he could go to away from his brothers. "Is it a secret home?" he wanted to be sure that his brother's wouldn't be able to come spy on him when ever they wanted. It would defeat the purpose of having a second home.
He followed Jem closely through the tunnels, now wanting to get lost. Despite all his travels through the tunnels he had never been able to navigate them as well as others.

He turned around, and he couldn't help but laugh as he lead his friend deeper in to the caves. "A place only for us! Not even the grown ups can find us!" The sense of adventure and prize. The youthful time of their lives. He huffed as he jumped to a stop. Lifting his head. "Ok. So here we go under this here wall anb~ its gunna get wet." Slowly sinking in to the water.. Where he lifted not even a few feet from where it was- shallow water to the other side. The water tinting with blood.. It was massive.. the cave was perfectly shaped in the right size. Untouched, just perfect.
Once there, he turned around and dunked his head in to the water. Looking at the red he almost feared it and rushed his head back. It was coming from him? Gasping for the air as he touched the spot.. Where Nahasi had.. his eyes became blurry and his body swayed a little. "Whoa.." Taking a moment to sit down to wait for Nahasi to get to the secret cave.

Nahasi watched Jem excitedly as he disappeared. Carefully Nahasi followed him. When he reached the water he was a bit surprised. There was bright red blood. Than he remembered Jem's wound. He made his way to Jem. "Jem! Jem! This blood is yours! Does it hurt? Are you okay? Do you need me to find a healer? I can find one, though I don't know if they can get here." He spoke worriedly.
He looked at his best friendly worriedly. "You have to admit that you are hurt now. You can't pretend that the blood in the water is fake or mine," he spoke in a serious tone. "How are you feeling. With that much blood lose you might start feeling dizzy."
Carefully he made his way to the injury and looked at it. He didn't approve of how it looked. To him it looked worse. "Does it hurt?" he asked his final question. He was sure Jem wouldn't like to be asked so many questions, but none the less Nahasi felt the need to ask them. He rather annoy his friend than have his friend get more hurt.

"Me?" With where they were.. the echo of his voice made it sound so urgent but his ears heard slurred words. Putting his paws to his head in pain.. As if he couldn't comprehend what was being told. But the sound started to flood again and hurt his ears then his head. Grumbling as he was asked so many times- so many words.. When his wound was touched all he could do was look up. Have that ginger goofy smile on as everything went just about twirled.
"I feel~..funny." It made his chest fill up with butterflies and laugh before falling forward in to his best friends shoulder. Completely wiped out! The rustling of the body echoed through the cave. Their secret place.. At least they could hide from the grown ups! But.. somehow that didn't seem like the brightest idea.

Nahasi feel to the ground from Jem's weight. "Jem, Jem! We need to get you out of here and get you to a medic right away!" He said with panic in his voice. If something were to happen to Jem, Nahasi knew his world would come crashing down. No, he would make sure Jem was okay and brought to a healer to get fixed up or at least an adult who could help him. "Jem this hideout is amazing, but we can't stay here. Can you get back to the main tunnel with me? I don't think I can get you there myself." He felt himself taking charge, feeling almost like he was his father, making choices that would affect his friends fate.

His paw waved around as if drunk. He swayed more and lifted his head up sluggishly. Now it was coursing down his eye to blur it of stable sight. When he looked up at his friend, that face of a bright smile was becoming dragged out. "I'm fine. I can.. I can.. do it." Giggling in a sense of uncontrollable at that point. "I'm ok~ Im ...ok." Hasi's words started to mix together as he closed his eyes and tried to refocus his energy. The most unlikely character to teach him was his mother. How vain she was, she explained to him that control was the best weapon and mind was simply stronger over matter. Clearing his head.. taking one stable step forward then lowered his body, turning his head to see Hasi's eyes for confirmation to his question.
"Can ..we just rest here for a moment..." That moment made him want to go to sleep but he knew Hasi wouldn't go for that one. So he lifted his body after the short meditation and slowly walked, as if it was effort to over to the water. Looking down as the blood tint started to fade for a moment before another drop of his head fell in to it. Again, the red color tainted it. Then he slowly put a few steps to close the gap between him and hasi. Nuzzling against his neck affectionately like he had done so many times while away from his father's eyes.
"You go first, and I'll follow you.." Ears went back as he smiled to reassure him that after the meditation, he felt better enough to make it to the other side.. to the main tunnels. Nudging Hasi's shoulder a little.

He nodded his head. It would have been better if he had gone first, but he wasn't going to start arguing now. Carefully he dived back into the water and swam through the opening to the other side. Quietly he got out and watched to see Jem come out.
He was worried about his friend. He wondered to himself how Jem got the cut in the first place. Nahasi couldn't think of anything that could have caused it. He also pretended it wasn't as bad as it was. Anyone could see that it needed a healer to look at it. Of course Nahasi would be the one who dragged Jem out to play instead of taking him to a healer. A twinge of guilt filled him. "Be careful!" He called to Jem .

Of course the noble thing was to make sure the future king would make it out first. He gave him a reassuring nod before seeing Hasi out. Jem went in almost after hearing Hasi take a breath on the other side. It echoed just a little. SO he went in and once he dunked his head.. Blood started to fill.. the area around him again. It was like as if it hadn't stopped in the first place! His vision started to blurr as he pushed on before stopping mid way and seemed as though everything was slowing down.. Another hefty push before his world was going black.
The short thoughts of Nahasi.. what he meant to him. The best friends they made and now.. No. He had to push on! Then quickly his body went to push and pawed himself around before grabbing the rock and pushing himself out. The exertion was too much for his young body and upon coming up for air... His eyes shot up at Nahasi and gave him a smile- a weak one as he pushed himself out. Without shaking himself much at all. "Follow me." He knew Nahasi didn't venture through these- he knew these tunnels like the back of his paw now. With his father's vigurious training. He couldn't give up now.. After a few passes.. his body couldn't go on and he face planted to the ground. Passed the hell out...
A form appeared.. Females were given a bad name.. Why yes. They were. For good reason but... This female was hardly ever seen, looked at, and was highly protected by her 'undertaker'. Jem's father. She was beautiful, and had long whispy hair to her, an endearing sight to see. One could tell that Jem's feminine features and whispiness to him was clearly from this beauty... She was given a lot more leeway as she was sentenced to be a mere shadow of the male she walked behind.. Her soft eyes, and her shimmering pelt even in the darkness.. "...Boys.." Her voice sounded so light, the air took it. Soft spoken.. Her step was quick when she heard the thud of a body.

Nahasi watched as Jem hit the floor and stayed close to him. When he heard the female speak he glanced quickly at her. "I need to find a healer quickly. Jem's hurt, hurt really badly." He spoke quickly. Other than his mother, he hardly saw females before. He had a small dislike for them and thought they were too needy for his liking, especially his mother. "Can you watch him? I'll go get someone if you do, or you can get someone. It doesn't matter, I just don't want Jem to get hurt."
He looked at her with urgency, hoping she would realize what was going on. He recognized her as Jem's mother. He had seen her with his dad a couple times. "I- I think he's hurt and it's my fault," he spoke, his eyes tearing up. "I wanted to go on an adventure and Jem was hurt and if he gets worse it will be my fault!"
Carefully he nuzzled Jem on the nose. "He's my best friend and I don't want that to change. Please Jem don't be mad at me." He spoke quietly so only Jem could hear him. "Don't ever leave me okay."

"How about.. if we go together." Her voice was deeply alluring and myserious. Everything about her was- even from Jem. Although he would later get her lure in years to come. That simple law of attraction, the aura they gave off was just that. When she came up to them, she dipped her head low and checked her son out. The gash on his head didn't look well at all. Her heart- ached as she dipped her head and lifted him on to her back.
"I can not leave the future king... come along then." As she tossed her head and didn't run but glide across the tunnels. His secrets, his wants, his dreams- she all wanted for him. If he died- she wouldn't know what to do.. and his stupid father seemed to be more harsh on him each passing day. But she wasn't allowed to do anything, even much leave the den was forbidden but her heart ached .. and now she knew why it had been. As if the unspoken bond between her son had called out to her.
Heading over to the populated area of the tunnels, she looked around with eyes of lost and direction. "I am unfamiliar.. where are the healers located." She only knew how to get back but anything further she didn't know and her body seemed calm but on the inside she was hesitant- what if her 'master' saw her out.. "We must hurry. Please lead me." Giving him way in front of her and she would follow every step to save her son..
