Welcome to Gaia! ::

Furiko kept low and moved quickly through the under brush doing his best to avoid any adult lions he seen moving around. He was looking for little cubs, any little cubs he could find. As he kept moving some voices caught his ears. They were adults speaking about cubs being cubnapped. He lowered his body as close to the ground as he could get. He knew the adult members would be looking even more vigorously for lions like him and the cubs. If he was gonna nab a cub he was going to have to do it really soon so he continued on combing everywhere he could get to without being seen by the adults.

A deafening silence fell across the area as Ram received the news from not one source, but multiple sources. The game of hide and seek that he had hoped for was not on the cards - the truth of the matter was that his pride was under attack and at present, the culprits were completely and utterly invisible. Unknown and impossible to identify, there was no way to stop them without first finding them. Suffice to say that they needed a plan and they needed one quickly.

"Shut the borders down. Seal them off completely," he ordered as he regarded Kota, his expression one of steel. "Kill anything that comes over that border, I don't care who or what it is, I want it dead," he instructed. It was perhaps the most hostile and dangerous orders he had ever given, but without the ability to identify who was responsible for the kidnappings, everything was an enemy and where Ram came from, such enemies were executed immediately.

"If necessary we take one as a prisoner, but no more than one...and as soon as you receive the information you need, get rid of it," he snapped, a low growl rumbling through his throat. It was at this point that he strode towards Chafuko, his tone low and otherwise firm. He was in control and he wouldn't have anyone panic while he was nearby, the calmer his pride was, the quicker this would be resolved.

"Return to the dens, if you find any cubs along the way you bring them with you. Ensure that every Pombuka is awake and every cub is accounted for. If necessary seal them all in the same den, but do not let them out of your sight," he gave his orders to the female quickly, hoping that she would have the strength to follow the instructions so that others would be safe.

It was then and only then that he turned to Vainamo, lifting a paw and pointing directly to the lion.

"I need you to scout the coast, if any of the cubs are hiding then it's imperative we find them first. You are young and you are therefore one of the fastest we have. Find them."

His orders given, it was then time for Ram to react and with another deep snarl, he bounded off down one of the beaten trails in the hopes of finding a sign of who or what had struck his pride...

Vainamo nodded at the order, glad to be scouting, rather than actively securing the border. Again, he wasn't sure he could bring himself to kill anyone... So scouting the coast, finding the cubs, was for the best.

He darted off in that direction, keeping crimson eyes open, and running faster than he ever had felt the need to in his life.

He wasn't entirely sure how he felt about the orders to kill the invaders, tender heart that he was, but he understood the reasons for such hostile actions. They were, in essence, under attack. Threatened. Terrorized.

Who could do such a thing?

Furiko got his wish as Adalena wandered cautiously through the foliage. She wasn't from the Bahari lands, but she had somehow found herself in their territory following the abrupt separation from her mother. Completely vulnerable and without the immediate attention or awareness of the Bahari'mtoto pride, she was the perfect candidate to be picked up and spurred away by the nervous lion.

Unaware of the chaos around her, the little cub continued to explore her surroundings, quietly hoping she might find someone or something to assist her with finding her way. She was clueless after all, and much too young to survive on her own in the long term...

The dark male was about to object, the fur along his neck rippled, but, he had never said no to a leader of the bahari, he was loyal to the pride. He gave a simple nod to ram and raced towards the borders.

He knew, as he always did exactly who was on patrol, and he knew he would have to go to xenon first though the thought made him frown. Xenon too was a rogue and when he found out what happened he would undoubtedly be ver angry.

Nahodha'kota was angry, but he wasn't angry enough to kill anyone in cold blood. There was nothing in his mind that couldn't be solved peacefully. It was then with this thought in mind that he approached the borders, ready to give an order that was against his leader. If they captured someone, they could question, and clarity would come with questioning.

The question was would everyone agree or would a death occur anyway? He hoped that the guards could keep a clear mind in this time of crisis, especially the father whom was currently at his guard post.

Gino Was super confused! Never in his life have he heard of a place like this and he really mad that this place was so wonderful looking but all this crazyness was going on.

Gino Look up at the light blue lion and said "Thank you kind sir. I can help in any way! I'm really good with kid and I can climb unlike your kind."


He look around for a while and saw a tan cub get took by a lion. He didn't know if the lion was from this place or not but he was going to follow this little girl to make sure she was safe. He climb up in the tree to make sure the bigger lion could not see him and follow the two lions. He said to his self "I'm going to get you out of here little lion cub, I'll make sure of it"

Dimbwi started to take her other son back home, ushering him along, when someone popped out of the bushes and he was gone. Her ears fell back, eyes wide and jaw dropping. "Dhiran!" She turned, looking at Ram with abject horror. "Where are they 'IDING?!" She looked around, tried to follow the lion that had nabbed her other son. She had to stop, though, before going far - She still had another son and a daughter. They needed their mother, and they needed her to be strong. Dimbwi swallowed, shuddering and trying not to whimper, before she went over to Ram. "Find my sons... Please..." Then she started for the dens, hoping against all odds that these strangers hadn't gone there to nab cubs.

(Holy cheese, I keep looking away long enough for explosions of posts and to miss posting in any sense of order xd )
