Welcome to Gaia! ::

All the hyenas around her were called "Nohoi" so it was an easy mistake to make to think the word simply meant "hyena". She didn't pick up on Raubtiers subtle correction and would probably make the same mistake again...

Eerin liked what she saw during the fight and when the hyena moved away from his beaten opponent she entered the fighting ground.

"Guud kesrs, aeui kesrs ka muv!"

Even if the outsider hyena didn't understand what she was saying he should be able to take a hint. She stared at him, baring her teeth in a wordless challenge.





Raubtier was genuinely surprised that the hyena got the upper paw in the fight. He wouldn't in a million years had guessed that the fight would end with the hyena's teeth around the lioness's neck. The other way around maybe...

And it looked as if he wouldn't get to rest before the next fight...

"You win," Mawasii gasped, her body tense at the closeness of his teeth against her neck. It had been an eye-opener, fighting with one of a different species and there had been many lessons learnt. "Maybe if you stick around, we can fight again," she replied to his advice, pulling herself to her paws and padding back out of the arena.

She'd pick herself back up and do better next time. She was fighting for her honour and that of all females within the Nergui, after all.

It seemed, however, like that initial fight had gotten the blood of the hyenas up. Another was uttering a challenge even before she had fully merged back into the audience to lick at her wounds.

Kefir was almost beside himself in terror now and the worst part of it was that there really was no one he could count on to help him. Ovu's words - though terrible - spoke truths. No one in the horde would care and nor would they try to stop him.

And, even in terrible odds, he realised if he didn't stand up for himself, no one else would.

"I-I would care," he replied, desperately trying to appear braver than he was and utterly failing. The horde was anything but good and he had chosen his words poorly. Under the circumstances, however, there was no one who could blame him. It was difficult stringing sentences when everything in your being was telling you that you were going to die. "You should f-find someone else to pick on."



[OOC: I'm looking to get this RP wrapped up by next week! After that there'll be another RL month in rogue lands before the Nergui arrive at their new home]

The paler lion nodded his head at the other. "Yes I am a rogue." Said Ochieng. "The sounds had made me want to come check out what was going on. You are a great fighter. I might want to learn a bit from you. I have a cub who might need some more tutelage from me if his mother allows it." His son he did not know what his son, was learning all sorts of things and becoming a better fighter would be another good thing for him to learn. "I mean if you'd want, maybe we could be the next challengers. If you are up for another fight." Though part of him wondered if he should fight that hyena who had just won against the lioness. It soured him only a little that the dark laughing beast had bested a lioness.



The dark laughing beast looked at the hyena who had yelled out to him in a language that he could understand but he seemed to think it was a cheer, but he bared his fangs back at her for a moment. He was proud to show that he could defeat a lion, even it was female. Then he turned back to the female he had bested. "I would like that." He had nothing better to do anyway.

Vsevelod snarled as his legs were kicked out from under him. He didn't let that get him down for long as he rolled, a funny sight for a hyena, away from his opposer and leaped up to his paws. He surprised himself that he was still so spry even after that last battle and clawed at the other before using his teeth on her. At the last moment he grabbed onto the back of her neck and dragged her down. Holding her until she'd stop squirming. Once she did that he'd let her go.



The scuffle made him look back. Seemed the hyena winner won yet again. He sure was making a name for himself. He had to go next. Show this hyena just how a lion really fought. Not that any of these lions couldn't, but let them be shown up by a rogue.

Kitoweo observed the horde with satisfaction. He had been rogue for sometime now, never finding a pride that he took to or felt at home in, but in every one he had stayed briefly they were mentioned with fear. he knew them as The horde, and some called them Nergui. even the firebrand, had not taken him serious and the higher ranked lion had laughed and refused his challenge. disgraceful. A challenge was a challenge. he might not be the strongest or fastest, but here, it was different, a sea of dark coats and bone markings stretched before him, all bearing multitudes of scars and signs of a long battle winding down. making him feel very conscious of his pristine dark coat. It was time to add a few scars... and join the horde.

-
A female hyena and a pale lion had just finished a good fight and Kitoweo took the chance. Debating between the lion and the Hyena. Taking advantage of his dark coat he slipped closer until he could smell the blood on both their breath- and pounced on the pale lions back- attempting to sink his claws into it's shoulders with a triumphant roar. He would leave today with the scars he was owed.

Ochieng had been conversing with Gael and keeping an eye on the fight. The dark hyena seemed to have won both his previous fights which were bother rather good. He could see that he was a bit bloodied by it all. It was when he saw another lion just attack that he himself threw himself into the fray. No challenge had been issued and it seemed that was how everything worked, at least for right now. He lunged at the other, claws unsheathed and fangs ready to tear into the other. He'd take whatever repercussions there were.

((Oops. Sorry about that.
Rolling now, will edit my post with the RP bit later. Just want to make sure I post something here first!))
