Kizuka'nafsi = Gray
Angra Mainyu = Dark Red
Moving was becoming increasingly difficult to Kizuka, but she was determined in her quest to find Spenta. After her and Spenta's brief love affair she hadn't left the pridal lands that her home resided on; she was too afraid. She was afraid she would run into him and that the feelings that they both told themselves couldn't be would resurface and that all she would do was pine for him. Her fears were justifiable, as she did end up pining for him, but not because she had seen him. It was because Kizuka was now heavily pregnant with his children, and she was now leader of her pride.
The pregnancy felt like it had happened quickly, but even quicker was Kizuka's succession to power. Several weeks after her and Spenta's affair, the current leaders of her pride befell to their old age and passed on. Within several days of that the council was called, and Kizuka and her sister Fasihi were brought before them and given the news that out of all the current Umbikezeli that they were to take over the pride.
Kizuka'nafsi had responsibilities now, and only one chance before her and her sister's coronation to look for Spenta and tell him the news of their children, and she had decided to take advantage of it.
Angra had just finished a fun stretch of rodent hunting and was about to go on a nice little adventure before he spotted a disgustingly 'innocent' looking female, she was pure white and had some funny looking markings. He wandered closely and smelt the air, pregnant? He pondered slightly, then smelled the air again to be sure.
"You there!" He wandered closesly, a wicked grin placed on his maw, he had awkward intentions and was about to make them if she was as weak as he figured she was. "What is your name?" He cooed dramatically, his eye's burned deeply with an offhanded lust.
Kizuka had been surveying the area when she heard the voice call out to her. She quickly turned her head in the direction of the voice calling for her and felt the fear in her gut cause her unborn children to stir restlessly. She knew the person who was speaking to her, even if she had not met him. Blood-red coat, markings to match a certain lover, he was Spenta's brother. He was the one Spenta had left to keep her from encountering and here she was, starring down at him.
The surprise and fear that had caught Kizuka off guard was apparent on her face, and she quickly tried to shake it off before answering, though it caught in her through as she spoke, "M-my name is of no importance to you, lion."
The quicker she was able to shoo off Spenta's brother, the quicker she would be able to look for Spenta.
"Now, now." He said sweetly, tail twitching a little, paws bringing him closer. "Don't make me, maake you tell me." He growled softly, the sweetness was still there. "Why are you so iffy, hm?" He muttered, now making a large cirlce around her.
She was truly near giving birth it appeared, her stomach was twitching as if the cubs were ready now to be set free from there holding place, Angra would not hurt her if he didn't have to.
"I am 'iffy' because I already know of you, even if you do not know of me," Kizuka said, the initial shock of seeing Angra had begun to wear off off and was replaced with her a fierce guard. She was tense and she did not want an encounter with Angra; nothing that would cause her to go into labour prematurely, but what could she do? Sure, her escort was within ear shot, but by the time the cheetahs had arrived and the lions and leopard shortly afterward, he would have enough time to inflict damage on her.
"I am Kizuka'nafsi. Are you happy now?" She muttered, her tone less than welcoming.
Angra stared at her intently, his eye's narrowing slowly. "Kizuka`nafsi, how do you know me?" He stared at her devilishly, he was angry now, she was making a prejudgement of him even if it was a true judgement, she was right to be on her toes. He knew this, but still.. frustrating.
"How can you judge me?" He stated quickly, he stopped right in front of her, eye's still narrowed, blue orbs a glittery pair of stones.
"How can I not?" Kizuka said, her nostrils flaring in displeasure, "You just threatened me if I did not tell you my name."
Kizuka's ghostly light eyes starred right back, like lenses into someone's soul. She could sense Angra's potential to be dangerous, which is probably what Spenta had wanted to warn her about, and not just his inclination towards being a jerk.
"What is it that you want with me, Mainyu brother? I am busy, and on borrowed time."
"Spenta, you know my brother.. " His eye's looked to her, tehn her belly then back. "No." He gasped lightly in a slight shock. "He is not making me an Uncle is he?" Angra laughed sourly, Spenta, getting witha woman? He almost rolled onto his back with laughter, how priceless.
"i have half a mind to hack away at your stomach, if theya re his, not thatbeing half yours would change much, but taht's why i'm not." He nods lightly, eye's still harvesting a look of pure vicious behaviour, but a sense of respect floated about him. "An Uncle eh?" He smirked.
"I can't wait to put that title to use." He grumbled slightly, eye's narrowing, he was still floating on assumption, assumption that those were his brotehrs cubs to be and that she was using her 'borrowed time' to find his brotehr to get a warning out.
Kizuka's eyes narrowed and she snarled at him, her version of a warning. She was not pleased with the threats, and was deeply concerned that he would attempt to harm her unborn cubs. In the distance she spotted one of her guard; the lion. He must have been closer to her than the rest of them were, and she was thankful for it.
"If you laid a hand on me, it would not be only Spenta who would rip you to shreds." Kizuka hissed, taking a step back away from Angra. She had to break away from him, and quickly. He was unpredictable, regardless of the fact this was her first encounter with him.
"You won't be given the opportunity to put that title to use."
"Oh?" He growled softly, her steps back were followed by his steps forwards. "Is that so my pretty innocent?" He asked, admitting to her okay looks, he could be honest once in a while.
"We'll see about my not using the title." A slick smile, twisted as ever creeped along his maw, eye's narrowed and growl steady in his throat, he was doen ehre, finished with her and the cubs, he'd had enough encounters with cusb to last him a life time. "Now wrong along 'princess' to your petty set of guards." He'd smelle dthem earlier.
"It's Kabaila'umbikezeli, not princess. I am a leader, not a pampered pet," Kizuka retorted, taking the opportunity to back away from him quickly, though never turning her back to him. She would not make that mistake incase he decided to change his mind without warning.
As soon as she was within a safe distance away from him, she called for her guard. The lion who had stumbled upon them quickly made his way to her side, and in the distance from each corner came the others. She knew she had to cut her search short now because of her encounter with Angra. He had worked her up and caused her cubs to writhe anxiously in her. And now that he knew, or at least assumed that the cubs in her belly were his brother's he would surely look for him, and Kizuka did not want to chance her running into Spenta while she was with him.
She was sad, and angered with the fact she would not have Spenta there with her at their children's birth, but it was much safer for the two to be apart at such a delicate time than to be together. She would send someone out to search for Spenta when the cubs were born, at least than whoever she chose to search for him would have an inkling of what he would look like.
Angra watched as she wasndered away, her guards with her, watching her every move, gazing at her worried about her state, she did look exhausted, but it made him laugh lightly not concern himself. "Well have fun leader!" He called and turned away from her, his back to her now, trusting taht even if she sent an attack he'd be fine, a littel battle neevr hurt anyoen, but he figured for her cubs saftey she'd leave immediately, or threaten the chance that the cubs were birthed with him right there to watch her get weaker and weaker.
