Briseis was wondering in a new territory now. She padded along her way gently, her feet hitting the ground so delicatly it was as if she weren't touching it at all.
Her ears erect and alert listening for anything, her light hues eyes glanced around, seeing no one in sight. Maybe shee should turn back now. She looked around confused, she gave a huff of dispair and laid down right where she was walking.

Rackna smiled slightly as Akin explained his situation. He spoke strongly and clearly, with a slight clip to his voice.
"Either I recieve another female or we fi-"
He stopped speaking, his gaze shifting past Akin to a small white blur behind him. What is that...? He wondered, slowly padding past the other king. As he grew closer, he realized that, low and behold, it was a stray cub! A small smile appeared on his face as he turned back toward Akin, a small chuckle escaping his lips.
"Well, it seems that either you can work magic, or fate smiled upon you. This cub shall be the trade for your mate, that is, if she accepts to join my pride. Please, take your family, your mate, back to your home. They are all free to go."
He nodded, as if conferming his statement, and turned back toward the cub, lowering himself slightly so as to see eye to eye with her.
"Hello young wanderer. Are you lost? Where are your parents?"
Solio let out a relieved sigh as she heard the great silver king decline a fight. She dearly hated when her brother got into a tussle, just for the fear that he might be dreadfully injured and she would have no one to turn to for help. She shuddered at the thought, and trotted over toward Illi, Kichea, and Elli. Looking back, she half-smiled to Wategra and motioned her over toward the cubs and the lionesses.
Brazen smiled, a toothy grin at the proposition of a game. He, being a competitive sort, obviously agreed to the game of hide-and-seek. He cocked an eyebrow at his younger brother a mischevious glint in his eye.
"You ready to lose?"
He asked playfully, with an odd tone of seriousness just around the edges. He took everything seriously... But it was yet to be determined if it was a blessing or a curse.

Elli perked up at the sound of Solio, her earflakes could almost feel the humming tention dissipate. Rackna had called off a fight, and found a new cub. She smiled and stood, trotting forward to greet Solio.
Akitana bounded into the grass and streaked away, seeking a depression in the ground that would hide her as well as the tall grass to keep her location secret. She glanced over her shoulder, then turned, and slid to a stop, tumbling into the giant silver leg of a male lion. She huffed and shook her head, blinking up at him.
"Hello Sir.. And P-Pardon me." She mewed, glancing at Rackna who lay not far away. "I d-did not mean to i-intrude upon the c-council of Kings....."
Her cheeks blushed slightly. 'Oh dear.. Momma will not be pleased.'
Illitashia sprang to her feet, flakes quivering. "Aki? Akitana?"
She glanced toward Rackna and Akin. 'No.. Please tell me.. '
Both great kings were peering at the ground. "Akitana."
Rellick laughed and danced in place, light on his paws. "We shall see who wins Prince Suncoat.. Though I must say I am at a dissadvantage in the present field..."
He shrugged. "But I'll still try."
Jadera laughed and dove into the grass, weaving through it with hardly a ripple in the emerald sea to mark her passing. Her mother had taught her well. She all but dissappeared.

Briseis looked up as she was greeted by a rather large maroon and gold colored male. She blinked a few time's as he asked her questions of her mother.
Her small and slender muscles shifted as he had gotten closer, she had been okay with Karver for Hope assured her that he wouldn't hurt her, but she was unsure of this fellow. He seemed nice enough, he wasn't like the male who attacked her who was actually her father.
"My momma," she stuttered sitting down, "Isn't here any more. I don't know who my papa is." She blinked as she stared at the ground instead of looking at Rackna. She pawed at the ground and flicked her tail, avoiding talking about her past
She already had been roaming for almost two weeks. Her wound from the other male was starting to heal. The gash on her leg had gotten smaller than it was.

Rackna frowned at these words, glancing down at the small cub with an overwhelming sense of protective anger. He noted a small, dark gash upon her front leg, and was taken aback. His mouth gaped open slightly as he put things together.
"Where did you get that?"
He asked, his voice breaking at the end of his question. Had the cub's father done something to her? He pointed gently to the small wound on her leg, making sure not to get too close to her, for fear of scaring the small, lonely cub away.
Brazen chuckled, watching them all disappear into the thick elephant grass. He shook his head, a smug smirk on his mug.
"So am I it?"
He took the silence as a yes, and covered his eyes with his paws. Slowly, he began to count.
"One... Two... Three..."

"Hello, little one." Akintunde peered down at the rosey-colored cub. "You haven't intruded upon anything. The council is over I believe." He smiled softly, hoping to make the female smile back. "Do you know where Kichea is?" He was still edgy about entering the others Lands, even though Rackna had said to fetch his mate home.
Mika'il laid down in the sand, watching the others with detached interest. This was so boring. The young male huffed at the sand before sighing.

Wategra followed solio over to the other lionesses, and she eyed the cubs, dareing them to so much as attempt to play with her. She sat back down once gathered.

Briseis shrunk closer to the ground remembering what happened. She looked at Rackna half heartidly. "I wondered up to a pride and the leader one pounced on me. He was just as big as you. Maybe a little smaller," she started to contradict herself.
The cubs bright blue eyes seemed to grow duller as she spoke.

Kichea laydown gently, she was feeling a gentle pressure in her stomach and he was suddenly feeling quite hot. "Elli... what happening?" She question in a whisper... her vision was blurring slightly and she could barely make out the green lioness from her surroundings.

Elli glanced toward her mate, wondering at his sudden abandon of the Silver King. "Apparently they have made a deal Kichea.. No blood will have to be spilt for you, you and your family are free to go to your new home."
She turned and nosed the lioness, guessing suddenly what Kichea had been asking.. 'She'll be delivereing them soon....'
She smiled. "Motherhood."
Akitana mewled and batted at the sand with a paw before straightening her back and raising her tail. "Kichea is over with my Momma and Queen Ellidanio.. I can take you over there with Rackna's permission."
She looked a question at the scarlet king.
Illitashia loped into the grass and toward Akin, parting the emerald curtain like a desert rose-all color and beauty- to spy her daughter. "Akitana."
Rellick grinned as he sought a hiding spot. Brazen was already counting away, and the girls had gotten an early start.

"Illitashia! You made it back safely." The Silver King smiled before frowning. "Where is Kichea? I have Rackna's permission to fetch her...She is far along...I am worried for her..."

"Mama!" Aki called happily trotting to her mother.
Illitashia knelt and nosed her. "Yes dear."
She shook her coat and smiled at Akin as she straightened. "Greetings Silver King, yes I made it here safely, and I thank you for your concern... Your Queen sits with Ellidanio... If you will follow me, I can lead you to her."
She picked Akitana up in her mouth and turned toward the emerald grass.

The large male nodded and followed the rose lioness. He was getting increasingly nervous for some reason. When silver eyes landed on the black form of his mate, he was by her side in an instant. "Kichea? Kichea-love, are you ok?"
A small purple and blue cub pushed through the grass barrier of the Pridelands. She walked with a dreamy look on her face, tail waving slowly. "It's here, it should be..." Tay-yibah was drawing close to the place she would soon call home.
A few yards into the pridelands she stopped and let out a call.

"Why?"
Rackna asked, bewildered as the young cub spoke. Why would a king, one who was supposed to be kind, accepting, attack a cub? He shook his head. It made no sense to him.
"What is your name, young cub?"
His tone was soft, his eyes resting gently upon the small, white figure. Suddenly, his flakes quivered, and he perked his head, an odd scent filling his nose. He stood, torn between greeting this newcomer or staying with this lonely cub. He called out to Solio, and when she was within earshot, he nodded toward the other, new cub.
"Please, I cannot leave at right now."
He smiled as she accepted the task, and focused back on the cub infront of him.
Solio, after being sent to greet the new cub by her brother, padded lightly in the direction he had told her. Her light blue eys searched eagerly, glad to be doing something. Suddenly, She spotted the newcomer, and cocked an eyebrow in surprise. Another cub?
"Hello..."
"... Ready or not, here I come!"
Brazen yelled, immediatly silenced when he looked up to see a teal, unfarmiliar lioness right infront of him. He held his breath for a moment, slightly surprised. He backed a couple steps, then smiled to her.
"Hi!"

Illitashia set Akitana on the ground and gave her a gentle push. "Go hide or you will lose the game."
She jumped at the sound of a cub's cry, as did Ellidanio.
Elli leapt to her feet and trotted toward the border of the lands. She was a mother to the end, and a baby alone was calling out.
Illitashia matched Elli pace for pace, and smiled at her friend as they reached the border. "Mothers."
"Aye... To the end." Elli agreed. "Hello little one."
