The hottest point of the day had come and gone. After lounging away the last hour away after spending the morning learning how to hunt by one of the huntresses of the pride, Koka hauled her maturing body up away from the banks of the cool oasis and across the field towards the treeline where the pillars awaited her.
Antelope watched the shadow hued lioness stalk through the grass with no intention of even looking at the hooved creatures. She had enough of looking at their forms for the day. Now all she wanted to lays her eyes on were the stone pillars which still managed to elude her efforts of scrambling to their peaks. she was so close though.
Slipping into the shadowed treeline, Koka navigated her way through the worn pathway with ease and found herself staring at the stone structures which continued to be the bane of her life. In fact, Koka had little time lately to train with the pillars. She had been so engrossed in other matters that training was just out of the question but she most certainly didn't let herself slack. No, she found other things to work on and all of which helped her in some way or another. She could feel it in her muscles.
Eyeing the pillars, Koka paced in front of them for a few moments before circling them once and back off to the treeline. Eyes focused on her choice stone structure as her muscles gathered under her growing body. Then, like a spring she shot foreward, claws digging into the ground as she propelled herself upwards and onto the peak of the pillar.
Out of surprise she nearly lost her balance but quickly assessed the room on the pillar and fixed her feeting accordingly. She had finally made it! Eyes gazed down upon a world that was now beneath her. Up on the pillar she felt a sense of strength and power which had never felt before and it was something that she never wanted to loose but inevitably, once she leapt down, she would.

Perhaps Koka had known he was there amongst the trees? Perhaps she had made that extra effort for him? A smirk rose on his maw as he appeared from the far side of the circle of trees, he had long ago learned how to be a ghost, a shadow even with his pale coat and blatant salmon line. True she had not passed him, but perhaps she had caught his scent. Rolling his shoulders he padded slowly, surely, confidently towards the pillar where Koka stood high above his head.
He did not lift his head to look up at her he simply sat, his broad back to the dark female high above. A sign of trust perhaps from the dark maned male? Perhaps, he trusted her to a degree any way, she was after all loyal to him, thoughhe had never marked her fur, she was one of his. With her growing age his head was most certainly turned by the dark purple eyed femme. Unfortunately, she reminded him of Afu, the purple eyed vixen, Koka too held those violet eyes. Shaking his mane to rid his mind of these quite frankly, rediculous thoughts the golden eyed male spoke. "Congradulations are in order" His rough voice gave a low, gruff whisper, though still he did not raise his gaze, he would wait for her to come down, or he would go up to join her he had yet to decide.
His broad shoulders tenced for a mere moment while he waited, he already knew there would comea time when he would wish to woo the dark princess of the firekin, the time was drawing near, her strength was growin, her powers were growing, and time would most certainly bring her to produce a strong, powerful set of cubs of the firekins blood. The time would come and already he considered how to go about it. After all, she was a princess, her mind was sharp, her claws were sharper, this was one he most certainly could not just force himself upon, or even order her to. No, this was one he would have to, convince, cajole over to his way of thinking.Though perhaps, she would simply aggree, she would no doubt appreciate a brood of her kings, a litter of power, power won from both sides.

Koka was not surprised at all to see the bulking form of the King slip out of the shadows and approach the pillar on which she perched upon. As he sat she craned her head down to look at him, still enjoying the bit of power she continued to feel at being at such a height. His words caused her to swell with pride before she slowly pushed herself to jump down from the pillar. Landing with a jolt just behind Nyek she regained herself and padded to the white brutes form where she allowed herself to relax by laying upon the grass on her side, eyes looking up at the King.
The look of contemplation didn't get pas the princess as she studied his form. Brows furrowed she lifted her head slightly. "What is on your mind?" She questioned with a small tint of worry in her voice but more cubbish curiosity was the overwhelming factor of her asking the question. The young princess had no idea what was forming in the kings mind or what would one day be sprung upon her once she reached maturity.

The golden eyed king watched silently as she lay down, his sharp mind pricked with the fact thaty she was still far too young for him to show too much interest in. After all she was not yet mature int he body to bear any cubs of his. Licking his pale lips he lay slowly himself his long salmon and black striped tail curling almost to his forepaws. He watched Koka as she lay before him, partially admireing that dark fur and those strange markings whick covered the better half of ehr back , those deep red wings. He could most certainly watch those things for hors, they reminded him so much of a goddess. His tail lashed only once, silence reigning.
Of course he was broken from his reverie when she spoke, he became alert once more a smirk lifting those pale, dangerous lips. "I was simply contemplating upon how much you have grown Koka, you are becoming a lioness at last." A slight chuckle escaped his maw then, it was a compliment, or as close to a compliment as the salmon tinted lord came to, especially when it came to females. Koka was a prize, he had to reach for, a challange in his almost simplest of conquests, the conquest for females, she was a prize he would happily train for. he just had to figure out where the starting point was.

Stretching out her limbs Koka sighed heavily as her tail hit the ground in a steady beat as she sontemplated the King. "It certainly feels as if it's taken longer than it should have." Koka had felt the changes in her body despite how slow they were. She no longer held that cub fat and her body frame was taking on that of the muscular frame that the Firekin were known for. She wasn't going to be a petite little princess, far from. Koka was going to have the power as well as brains that the Firekin possessed and she was quite proud to say she was of such strong ancestery. Nothing could ever make her feel unworthy or ashamed to be part of such a noble lineage.
"So what brings you out to the training grounds today? Surely there was something that would you bring you out here unless you felt the need to train yourself?" She looked at him curiously.

He could tell a lie, certainly something sugercoated, perhaps even partially phylosophical, he rolled his shoulders as he considered what he would answer. Why was he here? Truth was he had followed her in a round about sort of way, sticking to the shadows, slipping through the grass as he saw her leave the main oasis, he knew ways to get to the trees before anyone, knew ways to not be seen, he had lain in wait for her arival and happily watched her take that leap in to the skies to reach that somewhat impossible goal. "I came to watch you." The truth then. It could sometimes be more powerful than a lie after all. The salmon tinted king knew that.
"I have been watching you for a while Koka, you please me with your, determination" certainly there was more to it than that but he would let her hear his words, his congradulatory words. His mind flipped and twisted the many possibilities he had before him. How to get this female to be his, to belong to him, flattery perhaps would be the key to her heart? He chuckled inwardly, perhaps partially, he knew what she wanted, power, he knew she longed for it just as much as he did. The promise of power then? Yes, certainly what he could give her would bring her power. Power in a family.

Koka looked at Nyek with a raised brown before chuckling as she rolled onto her back. "I am glad I've caught your iinterest but I assure you that my determination isn't just to please you alone. My goal still stands as it was and with each passing day of training I grow closer and closer to gaining the power that I seek. I won't let anything stand in the way of what I want." As she spoke, her eyes never left Nyek's as they glowed with that determination and inner fire. Koka was headstrong and wasn't a lioness to give up on anything too easily.

The salmon tinted lord watched her in a contemplative fashion those golden globes flashing with a similar light. he was ambitious and so was she, far mroe even than his Afu. He had long ago given up trying to find love withint he females around him beleiving thoroughly that they could give him what he wanted. Still, he couldn't help but admire the youthful Koka, certainly she had turned his eye.
"I know what you want, and time will no doubt grant it to you Koka, perhaps in time there will be things I can help you with, things that do not involve these stone pillars." He smirked softly and lifted a claw, laying it almost gently upon ehr cheek. "You will make a great ruler one day Koka as will your children." His claw receeded and he stretched out that lengthy spine , the deep salmon line flashing int he sun as he shook his mane. "Perhaps one day you'll allow me to help you with those too." He chuckled as he finished stretching, his stance tall, his shadow falling over the jet black femme.

Koka looked up at Nyek with no fear in her as he reached out to her with his claw. Her mind was more on his words than his actions though she was not naive enough to forget about his physically movements all together. Trained senses were always aware of what was going on around her physically, but it was Nyek's words that caught her interest and the physicality about him was adding more depth to what he said.
Help, she knew she needed it. The way she stood now she would have no chance of overthrowing her brother when he took to the throne for there was little doubt that others would back him up and Koka would not be able to fight them all alone. She herself may be strong but she needed more.
Eyes widened slightly at the mention of children and ears perked up. Such an odd thing to bring up at such a time. At least in her own opinion, but was even more strange was his last few words. Brows furrowed as she looked at him as he stretched. Rolling onto her side she watched him curiously as he finished his minstrations and towered over her form. Not knowing what else to say to such words Koka merely nodded her head. "All the help I can recieve I will gladly embrace."

Nyekundu smirked, it was an intereting thought offering the youngster his proverbial 'services' still, she was too young to understand these things yet. As mature in her mind as she was her body was not ready yet. Still the time would come and he would offer her the choice to bear him some cubs, cubs of firekin blood. Cubs of strength. A slight quirk lifted those pale lips as he thought of it. He needed strength and Koka, well she already carried strong mucles despite her age, despite her age she was growing strong and her mind was full of ambition, of power, she wopuld pass those traits on to her cubs as none of his other females had, nor would.
"The time will come when I will take you up on that offer" he chuckled softly as he stepped over the young female glancing down as he paused to watch ehr with golden eyes. "The time will come."
He rolled his shoulders then padding off back in the direction he had come to perform the tasks he had set out to perform this day, while his mind contemplated upon Koka, the future was never that far away, she was matureing quickly, and the time would come when the choice would be offered, and made well no doubt.
