Chaos had decided that being out in the rogue lands was getting a bit too boring. All of the...little mortals he had met were starting to get on his nerves, and he had on more than one occassion taken care of these annoyances. Now he was due for a little 'vacation' from the rogue lands, and the Pridelands seemed perfect.
He had never actually stepped foot on here, maaaybe when he was just a cub, but the obvious unlike of gods from the old king made him decide it wasn't worth hanging around. That was when he was just looking for followers. Now, he just felt like tickling his curiousity to see what it had changed into after this time. He didn't know what to expect, but that made everything more fun, didn't it? With a grin, he peeked around, hoping to not attract too much attention. Too many lions, and he'd probably get chased out, blasted mortals.
It was perhaps strange, a pride that didn't believe in gods was inhabited by one. Actually, him and his entire family. However, right now he was the only one that mattered; despite hs disguise. Rai had started learning to hide his wings and horns rather quickly, and sometimes he did try to keep a low profile. However, thunder wasn't too good at it. Especially when he kind of.. liked attention. For him it was easy enough to get, just make a loud enough boom and everyone will look your way. But again, this pride wasn't exactly a great place to keep doing that. He usually could only have fun with other kids, while avoiding to show himself as a god to adults. Kids were easier to.. not get all iffy at you, yes.
Which is why seeing this god spiked his interest. He flicked his white tipped tail, tilting his head for a moment. A god. A god he didn't KNOW. Hm. He hadn't known that besides himself, Nix, Rage and his siblings there were other gods around the pridelands. Though.. the pride WAS pretty huge. Or he wasn't FROM here.. and had seen much cooler stuff. Like a great STORM. Now storms were awesome, he could have a lot of fun on them. "Hey! " he shouted, picking up pace to catch up to the god, which was a distance ahead. "Who are you? "
Raising an eyebrow, the red god blinked at the...form that was before him. He couldn't quite tell, just a cub? Blech. He didn't like cubs. Always so whiney and clingy and such a pain. They were always in the way. Even now. Just this little black cub looking thing was enough to prove that.
"What do you want?" he said with a bit of a grunt, obviously not pleased. Sometimes it was fun just to fiddle around with the adults, let them think that he was a god, or a mortal, or maybe even both. Mind games were fun, but with cubs it was nearly impossible. Anything you did was amaaaazing.
"I want to know, " Rai started, furrowing a brow and perking the other. Touchy touchy! "Who you are. " He said cooly, sitting down. "Because I didn't know there were more gods around here. " The cub twitched his tail tip, deciding to let the illusion fall off his wings and horns. There was another god with wings and.. A horn right here. Defiantely HE wouldn't be the center of attention.
"I'm thunder. " Perhaps this guy was more keen on talking to OTHER gods. Not just a scruffy cub.
Quite demanding for a little runt! Dath didn't know if he should be pleased that not all cubs were full of fluff and love, or if he should be insulted that the little fuzzball was telling him what to do! He finally decided that neither would do, and he would just treat the cub like he would any other god. Chaos knew better than to pick fights with too many gods. He figured his sister would find him faster than he could ever imagine.
"Chaos," he said with a growl, lowering his head so he hopefully wouldn't attract attention from mortals. "Why does it matter to a runt like you? There's gods everywhere, you're just stuck here like a caged cat." Dath would never understand why mortals and gods alike pinned themselves to certain spots on the earth.
"It just does, " He shrugged. Rai liked to know things, big deal! But waait, chaos, eh? That was.. kind of awesome. To him, anyway. He doubted most of his siblings would like that. "and I can't LEAVE here anyway. My mom won't let me. " He stuck his tongue out, looking like a very normal cub for a moment. Parents! "getting on lightning's nerves is bad. " Even for thunder. His wings were.. somehow naturally tatered, but the irony in them is that it kind-of looked like lightning had zapped him. And he wouldn't put it past her to do it occasionally!
"So you're not a 'pridelander'. " Weeeell.. that perhaps mad emore sense than him being a member. But who was Rai to talk? Wait, Rai talked about everything. "Are you here to cause havoc or something? " A little bit of chaos wouldn't be so bad! Not that Rai wanted anyone hurt, no. He just wanted things to spice up a liiittle bit! Fun is fun, afterall. And in chaos you could generally be as noisy as you wanted, too. In the gods case, that was a lot.
Dath snorted. "Mother or not, you'll be on your own soon and only be able to depend on yourself." This was a true fact! He had had to pretty much be on his own since he could remember, especially when he wasn't always next to his sister, Sei. Now he rarely if ever say her, but that was probably for the best. He couldn't help but feel like he was being slightly crushed when she was around. She always ruined all of his fun, that Justice.
"I'll never belong to anything or anyone," he said proudly, puffing his chest out slightly. He was his own best friend, everything he needed. Hah! "I ain't here to do anything but look. Came to see if that stuff ol' man was here still, but I haven't gotten much of anywhere 'cause of you."
"Can't wait! " Though mst cubs probably couldn't wait either. Rai was close to his mother in a way; thudne followe dlightning, after all. But she was still mom and moms were always .. mom.. ish.
"stuff ol' man...? " He tilted his head, blinking for a moment. Old man.. did he mean Mufasa? Raiden himself had never met the guy, at least he was positive he hadn't in this life. He remembered short snippets from his last, but mostly just shreds of memories about a very good storm. "If you mean Mufasa, he's dead. A rogue killed him. " .. I think. It was kind of ahrd not to know the story, though. Mufasa was a good king.
"Oh? Oh well, not that I cared that much about 'im anyway. Maybe that's why there's a flush of gods 'round here. Pretty lax, eh? Especially if there's you and your little runt family living here."
He flicked his tail, fluffing out his wings a bit before letting them settle on his back again. Mmmm, stretching was always a good thing, wasn't it? "Well, guess that means the little bit of fun I wanted to cause ain't here." What a shame. He looked at the little Thunder again, his eye sparkling. Quite a runt, though, someone to keep his eye on in the future, eh? As long as he grew out of this annoying state.
"You've met Mufasa? " He perked an ear. "Yeah, I guess. We don't usually get botherd. Though I practice hiding just in case anyway. " He shrugged slightly ruffling his messy wing feathers. Runt! Puh.. well.. he WAS the youngest brother. But there was always that cub his mother had adopted, she was tiny, at least!
"You came here to mess with Mufasa? " He couldn't help but smile at the idea of a god pestering the odl king.
Who, by the wa, he had no idea how he looked. It wasn't unlikely that in his imagination the king was.. blue or something.
The god shook his head, stifling laughter. "Noooo, are you kidding me? I'm sure I'd get someone to singe my tail if I did anything to a pride leader like that! I just was curious if he was still around. Never was one for gods, so if he had a change of heart it wouldn't be the first times mortals couldn't make up their minds."
The red and black god took a moment to walk around the little black cub, more for show than actually looking at anything. "I never actually met him, but it was obvious he wanted no gods in his lands. Just imagine coming here anyway, unwanted! Unsettling mortals is such a fun past time, you should try ti more sometime."
"Uh-huh. " He smirked, though he didn't believe Chaos would try to kill Mufasa even if the.. maybe blue lion was alive!
"I do that often enough! " He twitched his tailtip, and as if on command, thunder rumbled overhead, despite the lack of storm clouds. "I usually make more of an effort. Freaks them out, especially if its sunny. "
"Oh? Sounds like you already know what to do then." Pleased that there was a new generation of smart gods, Dath relaxed. Meddling with mortals was what gods were meant to do! Why else were they so simple, so fragile, so stupid? Purely for the amusement of mortals.
He liked this cub. Storked his ego a bit while also learning what he wanted to about these lands. No real reason to come back, but at least he knew that now rather than later. Dath stretched out his wings, reaching out to ruffle the topfluff of the little cub. It was a bit out of character for him, but he could appreciate one like this Thunder, right?
"Just make sure you don't get caught while you're still little." His siter ruined all his fun when he was a cub. Missed opportunities! No one suspected a cute little cub of getting in trouble.
"Yeah. " Raiden looked away for a moment. Sometimes it kind of sucked that all he could really do was make a nice loud sound, however, he was still glad that he wasn't your normal MORTAL cub. Not that he had too much against them, but he still was a god, and in the back of his mind, still somewhat considered himself "better". But not in the rub-it-in-your-face and be-a-jerk way. He just liked himself more than he liked them. He didn't like the idea of being earthbound and unable to enjoy thunder like only he could.
"No problem!" None of his siblings, OR his parents were sticks in the mud! "You're going? " He guessed as much, chaos was stretching his wings and all. Seems today would remain mostly boring. Raising a paw to fix his fur tuft-- or at least move it away from his ears, which was uncomfortable.
"I guess." There really wasn't much for him to do here. He knew better than to stir up trouble in such a large and beloved pride. He stretched out his other wing, lazily. Ugh, flying. It was nice, sure, but sometimes it was such a pain to get himself actually up off of the ground. Sometimes he thought he'd be better as Laze than Chaos, but screwing other mortals over was such a blast. Even other gods at times was good fun.
"Maybe I'll come see you again when you've grown." He would be someone nice to befriend and maybe evenutally swing to his side of things. Anything to go against his sister. "Sound fair?"
"Alright! " Sounded better than never, right? And fun. Fun was what he lived for!
"See ya later, then. " Wasn't much more to do around here, and he wasn't the sort to make an excuse for him to stay longer. Rai had a sense of pride, and he'd never be that sort of.. whiny childish. ... most of the time. He liked to think he didn't, anyway. Giving Dath a short nod, not having much more to say or do, Rai diverted his attention. That tree over there looked like a niice place to jump off of and practice some flying.
The red god flicked his wings outward, turning to leave. He did peek back once to see the black cub once more, a wry smile on his face. The future looked so bright, and almost like the world was his. It was perfect.
With another thought, he drew his wings towards his body. Screw flying, he really wasn't up to it today. As he walked away, the illusion of black fire danced around his paws, licking up his legs hungrily before it overcame his whole body. He seemed to disappear, and as quickly as it came, the fire disappeared along with the god.
