Tamariku looked up as he heard his name called. He stood, though didn't move towards the female. He wanted to wait as long as he could before having to forcefully brio]ng her to Nyek. He didn't want anyone to hate him, none of the slaves at least. He walked over to her, and as he walked by he whispered, "Go. He'll only get more angry and make it worse." He stood behind the female, waiting for her reaction.

"Are you deaf or did you not hear me clearly enough? Which part of 'no' do you not understand, Nyekundu?" She glared, eyes narrowed while they stared directly at the adult calling her. She wouldn't.. she /couldn't/ be marked. She was a princess.. not a dog to be marked and carved as Nyekundu desired.
Ruki took a quick glance to Riku, checking to see if he would actually obey and force her towards Nyek. Again, a glare was sent. A warning, or perhaps a dare, for him to try anything. "I refuse to let myself be treated like a meaningless toy," She whispered in reply to Riku, shaking her head momentarily. Meanwhile, a second step backward was taken. Nyek was too close.. and unfortunately as hard as she could try to run she was the slower runner, considering her size of a middle juvinile to Nyeks adult figure. It didn't matter. She at least wouldn't come willingly to have anything done.. that would be rediculous. She stepped behind Tamariku. Perhaps he'd sheild her since she couldn't literally run..?

Malika didn't want to see anything bad happen to Rukiya, but she knew that if the pink female didn't do as Nyek wanted there would be hell to pay. Rising to her paws she ignored the pain and looked at Ruki with kind but sad looking eyes. "I don't want you to be harmed miss, but you really should do as he tells you."
If need be Malika would help bring the female forward, even if it meant being hated by the other. She could only imagin the horrible things that would happen if action was not taken soon.

The white cub heard the nonsense going on and padded outside of the temple, his red eye's watching the pink juvenille female with a taint of disgust as she denied the word of her elders. She needed to be taught some manners, that was for sure.
He slowly began to walk over to the cowardly female and smirked slightly at her, his red eye's watching her as he spoke smoothly, but coldly to Rukiya.
"I suggest you do as Lord Nyekundu say's, miss." He said politely.
However, his eyes radiated the same, cold hearted, emotionless aura that cub's barely radiated at that age. But he did. His claws gently scratching the ground as he watched her.

Nyekundu waited in silence. He watched as Moses came padding out. Good boy. He liked taht cub. He smirked lookign to Riku "Bring her forwards" he states again refarreing to her in third person now. If she would not comply to him directly she would be forced and broat forwards. He even sat. Yes sat and waited cleaning a claw as he did so. she was tro be marked this day if she liked it or not. The humiliation of the scar would taint the little femme. She WOULD obay him or suffer the concequesnces.The mark of disgrace.

Tamariku watched as yet another cub joined them. He nodded in agreement. "Please. If you don't go to him I'll have to bring you to him, and I don't want to do that." He knew the lioness wouldn't change her mind, so with reluctance he wrapped his mouth around the back of her neck, and began to pull her towards the leader he hated so.

It was a losing battle, and the young female knew it from the start. However ther stubborn mind refused to allow herself to willingly waltz up to Nyek. No, not at all, despite the warnings of the three others that hung about the area.
"Wait.. what're you doing..? How dare you! Let go of me at once!" Ruki squealed, suddenly having little choice over the matter as Riku grabbed and begun to drag in the direction of the adult. "Get off me! I command you to get off!" Protesting had no effect, so it seemed. A quick attempt to counter being drug forwards by pulling backwards was taken, along with several kicks and swipes at Tamariku's limbs-- a last attempt to make him trip or stumble (perhaps both) on the way there.

Nyek gave a smirk as rukiya was pulled towards him. He nodded to Riku placing a huge black tipped claw over her shoulders "This female is a disgrace to this pride. She refuses to do base things, hunt to feed the pride. Even I have hunted to fill the bellies of the creatures here but this, this thinks it is a princess. She is a disgrace" He growleed softly and uncheathed his single claw. he smirked a dark look in his golden orbs as he carved those marks in to her cheek. The three V's forming upon her left side clearly visable against her bright pink fur. "Venmgence, Vendetta. Victory. You are marked, disgraced. help this pride"
He released the little female at last allowing her to go her own way. He did not clean her cheek. She could clean the mark herself. "Those of you whom dissobay whom disgrace this pride. look to this mark it is your only solice taht you still belong to this pride." He snorted and headed back to the podium without another word. "kichea! You are the last today, come forth." His brow furrowed slightly. He was in no mood for any more shinanigans, she had better obay or else.

Riku let go of the lioness, looking at her with apologetic eyes. As Nyek let her go, Riku sighed and went back to the white lioness Malika, laying down again. Turning to Rukiya he looked up at her, "You're welcome to sit with us. I will clean that for you if you wish." He said, watching her with a sad gaze.

Malika shook her head. She felt sorry Rukiya, but she knew that the pink female had it comming to her. Casting a look over to her, Malika took a step forward, she wanted to help her. Glancing over to Nyek she wondered if it would be alright to do so. "Yes, please join us."

"Considering that you've never asked me to hunt, Nyekundu, you can't expect me to do so. Even you should know by now that a bright pink coat in a place such as this would draw automatic attention to anything this 'pride' tries to catch!" Ruki screamed, anger swelling through her eyes while she stood, held to the spot like glue. Her head moved around, attempting to avoid and bite at the claw that came nearer and nearer to her face. Despite this, that same claw managed to stab, pull, and tear at her skin, creating the marks that officially named her a 'disgrace' of the pride. Only small squeaks were emitted while this was done, despite her sad efforts to pull away.
When she finally was released, Rukiya stammered backward, eyes focused solely upon the 'leader' of the pride. "You don't honestly call THIS a pride, do you? What sort of leader does THIS..? I'd wager the idea that only the stupid one's actually like you, you cow.. and that pig you call Afu." She spat, brows furrowing while a secondary stare was cast towards Riku and Malika at their offer. She was tempted to take it, but the pride she had left said no. "You've done enough," was all Rukiya managed to grumble before wandering off to the shade of a tree not far off. Later she'd search for water. Meanwhile she'll sulk underneath this tree in the shade.

Her ears still folded against her head she took a deep breath before walking quietly to his side. Kichea knew that this obedience now would help her in the future. She took a deep breath and released it slowly before looking up into Nyek's eyes once again. Although she did her best to hide it, she new that not all her fear from him could be hidden and he would gain pleasure from any of it that showed. She stood silent awaiting what she knew would come next.

The big male nodded. Glad she had obayed. he had all but ignore rikuya she would learn her place sooner or later. Lashing his tail he turned the female and started to mark her. she was the last for today Dhamisa was no where in sight. perhaps she was out hunting? he grunted, he would mark her soon enough. Angamika had seemingly wandered off on one of his little errands too no doubt he would return soon and be his usual compliant none challant self.he could mark the red cub without a show infront of the rest of the pride. he needed to speak to his visier any way no doubt the strangely marked cub would appear soon enough and whisper the words of the seer in his ear.
Carving the tripple v in to her theigh he whispered those three words as he did so carving the motto in to their brains almost. "You are done" he whispers cleaning the wouldon her leg "be good" he whispers his golden orbs flashing menacingly as he nodded to dismiss her. He stepped down from the podium. he needed to say no more to his slaves. they were done for now. he would retreat to a cool place to rest and bathe his claws of blood. All in all it had beena rather productive day.

Riku watched as Nyek left, and he sighed heavily. He looked to the two females around him. Even in this horrible time, he felt drawn to them. He shook his head and laid down, motioning Kichea to lay beside him. "I will clean your wound, if you'd like." He said, his voice soft. He hated the taste of another lions blood in his mouth, but he could easily get over it if it meant helping someone who could turn out to be his friend.

She closed her eyes and winced a bit everytime she felt his claw dig into her leg. How he could do something like that to his own kind was beyond her. As he gave her to ok to leave, she moved as quickly as possible away from him as she could with the new wounds.
She slowed as she neared Riku and laid down beside him. "Oh..." She spoke softly still a bit shaken up," I'll be alright. I can get them myself." She smiled at him, happy to see that at least someone here seemed to have a heart. Her smile didn't last long though, as a sharp pain drew her quickly to cleaning the dripping wounds on her leg.
After a few moments she could no longer stand the taste of her own blood and she moved her head back from her leg. She sighed, hading relaxed a bit now, her ears returned to their normal positions. " Have you been here long?" Her voice had returned to normal as she looked over at Riku, trying to make conversation. It was harder to do than she had remembered but, she'd have to try if she was going to have any friends at all out here.
