Kiyoi pranced anxiously from one paw to the other at the sight of the regal king heading towards him, teetering between excitement and sheer nerves. They'd heard him! And he looked strong -- not that Kiyoi'd really encountered too many full-grown males, honestly, but still! "Hello, " he said, flashing Shaitani a bright grin -- oh, he should bow or something, shouldn't he?
The kitten eased forward into a low (if wobbly) bow, before blinking to himself. Wait, he'd forgotten to ask first! "Um... s'cuse me mister, are you the king of these lands?"
'Note to self: next time, ask first, -then- bow.'

Malamis watched his King pad off, the golden hued lion had become a father to two beautiful girls. Aingeal laid curled at his paws sleeping, she'd had a hard night, nightmares...Malamis gazed down upon her, lowering his head he licked her cheek lovingly and let her sleep. He'd hadnt seen his mate and other daughter since the girls birth. This worried him endlessly. But with a deep breath he looked about the pride, amazingly blue eyes scanned all those around him, many things were different now...His eyes fell onto his brother Ahti...Since the disappearence of the prides young Princess and Queen, he noted how his brother had became even more silent.
Ahti had grown through the passing months, turning into a solar for some strange reason beyond his mind. He constantly glanced into the forest, waiting to see her, of course she was still a young cub but...he couldnt help it. As a young cub himself he'd fallen for her, only to lose her once coming into adulthood. His tongue had fallen silent as he only used his vocals when growling or grunting. During the hot summer days, he'd spent most of his time training now, fighting...His body showed this with his well toned muscles and keen sense. Ahti was nothing more now, than a deadly warrior, bent on protecting the pride that had been his family.

Shaitani nodded at the kit, "I am." His voice slid from his mouth like black silk. His eyes were hard, with an odd soft spot for the cub. The hardness came form another aspect.
He and another of his pride were in the same situation. Empty. Living for one reason and one alone.

"Oh, good! Hello!" Whoops; getting a bit redundant there, huh? Kiyoi flashed him a sheepish smile, clearing his throat a bit. "I mean, um... I have a question I'd like to ask you, if that's okay, sir...?" So far, so good. Sort of.

"Well, for starters, we don't know who's at the borders, and it could be someone coming to hurt you." she said with a grin, nuzzling him softly still, but using one of her forpaws to press her medalian against her neck, so it didn't bonk Kai in the nose when she would nuzzle him.

Shaitani nodded down at the cub, and could tell he was nervous. He wasn't sure what to do, though, to prevent that...
Kai huffed, "That's silly. No one could hurt me." He puffed out his chest, but nizzled Xiah. She was like his other half - without her around, he always felt a strange emptiness. However, she was also like his conscious occasionally. But she almost alays ended up being right.

"Well, um..." Kiyoi sat up straight and tall, as though trying to make himself seem a bit bigger than he actually was. Though it ended up making him look more silly than anything else. "Sir, I was wondering... do you have any warriors in your pride? Or maybe you're even one yourself... ?" Could kings be warriors? He wasn't exactly sure just how all that one worked. "But, um... if you don't, then I won't bug you anymore, promise sir."

Shaitani raised his eyebrows at the kit. That was a strange question. "I suppose I would consider myself one. But everyone in my pride helps out where they are needed. So we're not too job-specific, evne if we each have our speicalties."

Kiyoi just about lit up, though he made a valiant effort to keep himself in check. "Wow! Really?" So it was sort of like a whole pride of warriors? Maybe he'd gotten lucky for once!
The kitten bowed low again, "I know this probably sounds sort of weird, and I'm not even really sure if I'm doing this right or anything, but, um, you see, I was wondering, because I've been looking and all -- " Enough rambling, out with it already! " -- I was sort of looking for someone to train me to be a warrior someday and you look really strong sir and I don't want to bother you but -- " By now he was going on faster and faster until the words began jumbling together, his tail twitching nervously.
He took a deep breath suddenly. No, that -definately- wasn't the right way to do it. "Um... sorry sir. Let me try that again. What I mean to ask is, please... would you, or someone in your pride maybe, mind training me so I can become a warrior myself someday? Please sir?"

Shaitani considered this a moment. He was already working on teaching Kai everything... Maybe another cub around wouldn't be so bad? Old habits die hard... Though... he'd definantly have to teach this cub to calm down.
The Dark Forest King nodded, "Of course. I'd be more than happy."

"Really? You will? Really?" Kiyoi would've been smiling from ear to ear if he'd been able. He might've well been bouncing up and down if he wasn't keeping himself in check. "Thank you sir! Thank you so much!"

Shaitani rose and nearly bent down to pick the ucb up by the scuff of his neck before realizing that this cub wasn;t his son.
"My name is Shaitani, and these are the Dragon Lands."
The name didn't seem as fitting anymore.
Shaitani began to walk back toward the cave after giving a loud roar to tell his pride the good news.

The crimson kitten trotted obidiently after Shaitani, allowing himself to be swept into a bout of unrepressed awe at the roar. Maybe one day he'd be able to do it like that...? He sure hoped so. That squeak of a roar just wouldn't cut it if he was ever going to be a warrior.
"It's great to meet you King Shaitani, sir... I'll do my best not to let you down, promise!" Hm. Actually, saying it that way, it sort of sounded like he was a pre-destined failure or something. "I mean, I'll do my best." Better? Hopefully. "Oh, my name's Kiyoi by the way. It's gre -- " Whoops. He'd said that already, hadn't he? Kiyoi ended up flashing the king another sheepish smile. -Really- needed to work on that.

Shaitani nodded, but didn't verbally respond. There was no need, seeing as they had reached the cave.
Kai looked up from Xiah and gave a Chesire Cat grin as he saw a little cub approaching behind his father. He pounced over to him, giving Xiah one alst nuzzle first, and puffed out his chest, "Hiya! My name's Fan Kai Liu! I'm the heir to this pride!"

A very pregnant lion lumbered across the border, letting out some sad excuse for a roar, that was more of a howl of pain. That b*****d...
Soon, the swollen lioness found the hidden cave, and she looked extremely overheated, even in the cooling shade of the trees. "Where... is... he...." she half growled and whispered, eyes narrow as they peered over her sunglasses. She wasn't talking to anyone in particular, but there seemed to be lions around the main cave, whether she saw them or not. The pain blinded her, and the only way she knew they were there was by sound. The smell of blood clogged her sense of smell. "Where... is.... Shaitani..."
It was Ozzie, the rogue lioness who had happened upon the pride not long after Kun Yi and up and left the Dark Forest King to rule on his own. After a night of pity, she left as well. A few months later.... Well, that's her story.
