Primitus was teaching Accendo today. His calm deep voice recityed the histories and lessons the young Lioness ought to know, morals and heroes and most of all, leadfers. Accendo looked bored-- she often saw her father's stories before he told them, but dutifully obeyed. The area was secure, at least, Primitus thought, and he made no effort to hide his Godhood.
Nya hadn't really noticed their presence until a deep voice resonded through the air. She lifted her head, spying the obvious god and a small cubs, a little girl with stars in her pelt. She smiled, noting they shared those marks, his wings and her fur. She lifted her head high and padded their way, a sweet and kind smile upon her face. "Good day!" She called, not wanting to frighten them. She felt especially cheerful today.
The cub perked first, looking to the female and jumped up, bouncingf to the newcopmer's feet and pounced a paw.
"Hello lady!" She cooed. Primitus chuckled, padding after, and bowed his head politely, unaware of her true nature.
"Good day, my lady. Arte you lost?"
Nya gazed down at the cub and with a quick motion picked her up in her paws and planted a big smooch on the top of her head-for children made mothers what they were and in her eyes, were just as imporant to her domain. She grinned, setting her back down. "Hello sweety.... what lovely eyes you have!" She said with a grin, looking back up to Primitus and chuckled. "No... just wandering... doing my job is all and enjoying the beautiful day!" She spread her paws out to motion at the sky. "Its just so lovely I didn't want to waste my time anywhere but enjoying it."
Accendo squeaked, but allowed herself to be scooped up, Primitus b linking, but smiling when he saw no threat and sat, Accendo ducking under him and peering out.
"Job?" Primitusa raised his eyebrows. "Ah, are you of another pride?"
Nya had not realized she was not in her normal form and seeing that he also was a god, say no harm and he seemed nice enough. With what seemed like a moments blink, her wings were visable along with her scarf. She chuckled. "No... I am a goddess... goddess of mothers and I sensed a few here and decided to perhaps place a blessing or two upon them..." She said with a smile that could warm anyones soul
"Ah, I see... Well, many of our lionesses have had cubs recently..."
GODDESS! HYe was slightly nervious, although Accendo perked.
"Wings!" She pounced, purring loudly.
Nya laughed aloud as the cub came pouncing. She dropped down to the ground and giggled, her wings flittering slightly. "Why yes I have wings.. surprised you didn't I little star child!?" She asked, tickling the little girl with her scarf. "I'm good at surprises and it's safe to be in my regular form than my winged one when I am traveling." She looked over at Prim and noted his look. "Something wrong?"
Accendo giggled, pawing the scarf and then snuggled under Nya, smiling happily. Primitus shjook his head.
""I apologizxe. I've merely had bad experiances with others of outr kind in the past."
Nya smiled down to the child and tickled her more with her scarf, making baby sounds at her softly. It was so obvious that she was no threat ever. She looked back up. "Oh. I see... where as I have had experiences of my past with mortals... at least I think..." She paused. "I have a friend who may help me remember what happened to me... but otherwise I just sort of know I was attacked.. and almost died." She looked down to the cub again. "She's very lovely... yours I am guessing."
"I'm her father." Primituds calmed, smiling.
"Her mother i9s mortal."
Accendo beamed, pawing Nya's scarf.
"Wings!"
Nya looked to her and nodded. "I guessed but wasn't sure." She said softly. looking to the cub. "Hm... Do you like wings little darling?" She asked, looking soft and serenely at the cub. "I see... your mommy does not have wings.. nor do you but you know what! You are still extra special.!" She said sweetly.
"Daddy says we're all his babies!@" Accendo9 beamed. Prim blinked, saying nothing, but he was calm.
"Her mother also longs for wings."
Nya looked up at the male and smiled softly. "I see... that is a shame she cannot have them for they are a gift in themselves... Who is your mate if you don't mind me inquiring..." She paused. "And I'd like to know your name if that is okay. I am Nyasambe... goddess of mothers...." She gave a small bow. She stood back up and twirled her scarf around her paw.
"My mate is named Bokoboko. M
"And my daughter is named Accendo nox Nicus."
Nya looked down to Accendo and grinned. "A lovely name indeed... and a lovely name for a lovely mother... bokoboko... I like it. " She gazed down at the cub. "I am guessing you two are a mated pair permentantly than? I am a bit surprised... as that is unusual for our kind... but I am glad to hear that you are at her side." She smiled. "Hehe... actually anything that makes a female a mother I am glad to hear!"
Primitus chuckled softly.
"I assure you, the thought to pass my domain to my grandcub has crossed my mind." He smiled a bit again thinking of dying beside his mate. It was an odd comfort.
Nya cocked her head. "Ah... yes... the sad lives of mortals. I commend you.. it must be hard to imagine things like that. " She reached down and patted the cub. "Love is a wonderful thing..." She paused for a moment. "It is a wonderful thing.. mates... I have never taken one... but I imagine it is a wonderful thing. " She smiled down to Accendo. "Cubs are a gift."
Accendo giggled, licking Nyasambe's nose. Primitus blinked.
"Never?"
He himself had two in his lifetime. It never occured to him one COULDN'T have love.
Nya chuckled. "Why yes... never... I am too busy with others... being that my domain is so wide spread it is hard to settle down and have cubs... my life revolves around my domain..." She sighed. "I have thought of it often, ya know... The goddess of mothers.."
"I can understand." Primitus sighed. "The God of Leadership, with so few followers nor aNYONE TO LEAD BUT RABBITS. iT IS DIFFICULT."
Nya laughed aloud. "I know right... I have had moments where I was blatantly confused by Males.. MALES... whom had the vibes of a mother... its insane... I was like 'YOUR A MALE!" She laughed again. "But rabbits. Naw... you seem to have some sort of reason to stay here... in this pride."
"Grandcubs from a previous life." He sighed. "And I aid the leaders. It's not the sdame.... Officially, I'm merely a patron. Although, the mortals welfcome gods openly."
Nya inclined her head. "Ah. I see... I also have not had a past life... I did however take a long sleep as to prevent it but lets not talk of things!" She looked do the cub. "And of course, your present cubs. She is lovely.... " She smiled. "Why does your mate long for wings, if I may ask."
Primitus smiled, sadly.
"My mate was raised by the goddess of Lightning." He shook his head. "The one mortal in the litter..."
Nya blinked. "Adopted I Imagine... poor dear... she must have felt very misplaced in a family of gods and goddesses... " She pressed a paw to her cheek. "Poor dear... but obviously she is very comfortable with gods and goddesses..." She paused for a moment... obvoiusly thinking of something.
"She is." Primitus smiled. "One day.. I want to give her children with wings." The god rumbled, smiling.
Nya seemed deep in thought now, looking down to the cub for a moment. She then smiled. "I think I may have a solution but... I have a few errands I need to run... I think we should meet again sometime Primitus... Perhaps tomorow, same time... same place.... lax your daughter." She smiled.
"Alright.," He nodded, and bowed.
"It was a pleasure, Nyasambe. And please, help yourself to a den if you need."
Nya nodded and stood, giving the little girl a pat on the head before turning from them and heading back the way she came, an obvoius thoughtful look still on her face.
