Nyek reached a claw to lift Amanis head leading her on to the proverbial Podium next to him. His tail lashed and he licked his lips as he turned to the gathered crowed "For those of you whom don't know I am lord heer king of thi land and if you dissobay me I am in my rights to put to fault and to punish those whom are in my stead." He kept his face looking stoic thoughthere was a look of sheer joy in his golden eyes. "This female, though I have told her before continues to dissobay me. Hunt I say, feed the pride yet she squirrels away in places. " He looks to her once again a snarl curling his lips as he whispers to her, his voice so low that no others could hear him. "I told you once to obay me to obay harabu, but while he is not here you are mine to control am I clear?" He gnashed his fangs so close to ehr ear it was almost as if he was going to simply tear it off. he did not though he turned back to the crowed.
"Know this I am a merciful lord to those whom obay me to those whom please me, to those of you whom are thinking that I am simply some tyrant. I am not. I am about to bistow upon all of you a gift." With that he turned to Amani turnign her so that her whole body was visable to the crowed slightly below. he unsheathed a single claw and slowly but surely carved a 'V' Shape in to her right upper leg "V for vengence." He called before lowering his claw and carving a second 'V' below the first "V for vendetta" He called again the smirk on his face only visable to Amani. he had obviously been thinking about this for a long time. The last 'V' and the lowest signalled the finish of this little marking ceremony at least for Amani "V for victory" he made a low growling soind turning to the crowed below him "This mark signals you are a part of my pride, a part of MY heratage with this upon you you are a part of something new, something that will one day be great." He licked his lips and turned back to Amani clearing away the blood from the fresh wounds that would scar her for the rest of her life "you are greatly honoured Amani, you are the first of many" He whispers licking his lips, he obviously enjoyed the taste of her blod his pupils narrowing to mere slits as he cleaned his fangs. "You may leave now but remember you are at my call" he growled gently. He would not let ehr bury herself away fromt he pride she was here to work and he would make her do so. He waited quietly for the prides reaction, he could wait and watch before calling up the next slave. Moses, he would call the youngest cub of hte pride next he was much desirous to promote the cub to gain his loyalty and perhaps that of the others.
"Moses, come forth my boy" He calls, golden eyes watching the white cub waiting and guaging his and everyone elses reaction to his marks.

Tamariku wanted desperately to help the lioness, to make Nyek pay for the way he frightened her. And all the others. He felt his claws extend into the dirt, carving small gashes in its surface as Nyeks own claws carved Amanis skin. His eyes burned with hate. But Nyeks words made him realize something: If he betrays this self proclaimed king, then he will forever be stuck in his pride. But if I befriend him, he thought, I can escape easily. In so many ways.
Rikus mouth curved into a smile as Nyek called the white cub.

Amani flinched with each mark but did not cry, nor did she make a sound. She did not mean to do any of the things he said, but she would not say that. If she had been told to hunt for someone, she would have done it, but she knew not where to take kill even if she had hunted for the pride.
She hadn't really meant to try and hide. It was a second nature to her. When she was scared of something, she made herself small and hid. She could not do that anymore, though. She wasn't small... She was getting bigger, stronger.
The realization hit her. She wasn't weak anymore. She was young and strong and Nyek would eventually grow old.
Part of her said she should hate Harabu, for he was the one who had brought her here to this and abandonded her when she needed him the most. But her heart didn't want to listen to her head. She didn't want to, couldn't hate him. All she could do was hope he came back soon. She knew he wouldn't comfort her, but at least he would be there.
She kept her head hung in shame for her mistake and walked off the structure when he dismissed her. She walked towards the deep shadows, keeping away from the other lions and lionesses. There she paused, cloaked in the semi-darkness, her eyes burning as she watched the lion she hated most for a moment, until she turned and continued into the oasis, like a ghost, blood staining the fur on her right leg.
The sweet, innocent, quiet lioness had been marked over and over and over again. Her shoulder, her muzzle, her leg. Nyek had taught her to hate. Maybe, someday, she'd repay him tenfold.

Since there had been no response from the male infront her her she flattened her ears against her head. Then her ears perked up at the roar. Scrambling to her feet she hurried over to see that her pride leader had returned. She stood still in part of the very front to show her respect to him.
Then what she saw confused her slightly but she accepted it, after all she was in no postion to question her lord. At his next words her ears flattened against her head again but were back to their normal postion almost insantly after. Being marked would mean that she was truely part of the pride and not just a loner. At that thought a small smile crossed her maw.

 So a mark then..., Taban watched from the boarder of the lands, his maw scrunched into a sneer. How very barbaric... He is as I had assumed... without class. A madman with children for an army. Mindless drones. Brute force and unquestioned leadership...what fun was a life without questions and riddles? Taban shook his head, glancing shortly to the sky. He had allowed himself to nap while the tyrant had, waking with the meeting roar.
"It's been fun." He muttered to himself turning cooly and slinking his way back the way they had come. Chaise if they would, chaise till they had grown old. This life was not for him. Cubs... nothing but cubs and dryness, the blaring sun and heat... simply barbaric.

Kichea still stood a bit behind the male she had followed, watching in terror and disgust as Nyek gave the lioness her gift. The very same gift they would all receive sooner or later. Shaking a bit every time he drove his claw into the lionesses leg. Finally she held her eyes shut.
What have I gotten myself into this time... Everyone one I trust turns on me. My mother in the night leaving me on my own... Tanaka threatening my life when I run to him from the thunderstorm... While Palesa just stood by and watched... Now him... The one time I think I'm home for good.
Her eyes burned. Angry and scared all at once. There was nothing she could do now but wait. Although she had grown he was still much larger than she and even if she ran, the many that followed him would catch her. Nyek wouldn't go without paying for what he did. She'd do something. It just might take time to figure out what.
For now she had to remain loyal. Let him trust her like she had trusted him. She opened her eyes and stared at the ground for a moment. Gaining the strength it would take to look up at him. The one she was quickly learning to despise. When she did finally look up her face was emotionless except for the glaze in her golden eyes and her ears that were still folded against her head.

The white cub had watched everything from the back, a smirk lacing his maw at the sight of the scarring.
Such a fine way to make sure what belonged to you.
His red eye's couldn't helpt but sparkle in the only emotions he knew, sadistic pleasure at seeing pain of others.
However, as he was called, the smirk faded and he took on an emotionless look before obidiently padding forward, head held high as he walked past the slaves toward's the King of these lands.
Until he sat infront of him and looked up at the salmon tinted male.

Nyek smirked. He turned his gaze silently to the cheetah whom was vanishing over the cresent of the sand dunes. Perhaps he would hunt him down later and scar him but for now this rabble was what was important.
Licking his fangy chops he could still taste the blood on his lips. Growling softly he leant down and spoke in a quiet rough muurr "Are you loyal to me moses? I want you at my side I will teach you many tricks of my trade are you with me?" He smirked and awaited a reply, his voice was low but demanding. He would ask this question of all of them as he marked them, he knew who was loyal to him really, who was simply afraid of his power. He knew Moses was his from the first mention of his gibbet but he needed to hear it, it boosted his ego.
((heeh I need to know which side you want the marks on. If you want them visable they need to be on the left if you arnt that bothered about them being visable on his image they need to be on the right. I just need to know so i mark the right side. if everyone can just let me know then obviously yuou need to contact dust or meepy to have them added ^-^!))

((I'd like them on his left side so I atleast know he's scarred ^w^
and ofcourse I'll get in touch with Meepy or Dusty))
The young cub watched him, emotionless eye's, cold and dull as steel before he placed his small paw forward and nodded to Nyekundu.
He took but a brief moment to answer, his voice dripping with the sincerest venom uncommon in most cub's his age...then again, he wasn't like most cubs.
"I am loyal to you my Lord and I am with you, teach me your tricks and show me the ways of your pride."
His dull, bright red eye's watching him as he sat there, only to stand and brace himself only slightly to be marked.

Nyek smiled "You will be great Moses at my side you wil be great" With that said the bi male circled around the cub once turnign himw ith his claws and marking his left upper foreleg, on the shoulder wheer the mucle was thickest and the space was easiest to mark. The pink tinted male slowly carved on the three 'V shapes' With each V the male once again whispered the oath he had stated with Amani. "Vengence, vendetta, Victory" he whispered for the cubs ears only as he signed off the last tip of the V and licked his claw before grooming the marks clean. Turning to the crowed he flickered his ears and smirked "To be marked thus is a sign of great honour. This cub shows great strength and promise you must all follow his example." He smirked turning back to Moses he cleaned the cubs shoulder blade once again "welcome to my ranks."
He nodded a dissmissal to Moses before calling out once again "Tamariku" he whisperd a growl deep in his throat. he did not trust this youngster he could feel the hatred in his eyes but to allow him the ranks perhaps he could pull him over to his side by granting him more leeway than a normal slave. "come forth and receve your mark."
((i hope thats clear enough where it's suppsoed to be guys I'll circle it if I'v confused anyone XD!!!))

Tamariku watched as the young cub was marked, and he felt a shiver run down his spine as his own name was called. He held his head up high, his eyes on the lion before him. He walked slowly and with determination, trying hard not to let his fear show through. He didn't want to be 'marked' but he knew that if he ever wanted to escape, it must be done.
With a deep breath, the tan adolescant walked up to meet Nyek face to face. His eyes burned with hate but his posture was lax as he stood before the leader. He said nothing, but kept his head held high, and turned slightly so that his left shoulder was facing openly to the large lion.

The large male licked his lips and smirked. To bring downt he prideful. Gods the joy of it. His eyes narrowed to mere slits as he thought about it and for a moment he was silent. "Tell me Tamariku, are you loyal to me?" He whispered his voice such a low growl of a muurr it only sounded to his ears. "I do not think you are Tamariku, though I beleive you could be." His tail lashed and he paused once again "I can drop you in witht he rabble or you can march beside me Tamariku."
His golden eyes narrowedand he awaited a reply. He knew he could not always trust words still he had some sort of power over this one he could make him, do things, horrible awful things things to degrade him beyond this mocho hot headed creature that was unwilling to obey him truely. he woudl do them all and watch him crack. he would make the male loyal to him but first this question. The mark was all important wopuld he accept the rank Nyek already intended to give him or would he scorn it and be dropped away in humiliation. How he longed to give the cut of disgrace.
