  The journey was not an easy one, in all truth...but it had been made a bit easier with the addition of Croix. Shairi had to admit that having the larger lion around to help hunt was WONDERFUL, and he was a wonderful deterrent for those....less-than-savory rogues Shairi herself had so feared encountering. And Shairi didn't have to worry about Ngoma going off by herself to sniff around so much. Croix...kept a rather good eye on Ngoma along with Shairi. It was no end of relief.
The pink-tailed lioness sighed happily as she lay in the shade of a tree, laid out almost flat. So comfy~ And Croix stood watch not far off, ears alert in the direction Ngoma had gone. They were taking a break to enjoy the shade, and the watering hole nearby. Both Shairi and Ngoma were used to a place where water was plentiful, not the dry savanna.

  Ngoma had been reveling in having another lion with them. Croix was a good lion, strong and always looking out for she and Shairi. He reminded her a little of her Uncle Dagda. Except...the sort of crush she was developing on Croix was definitely NOT something Ngoma would ever have felt for her uncle. The lioness giggled at that train of thought, tail swishing behind her as she sniffed at an odd-looking lizard on the ground. The lizard looked at her funny...then fled into the bushes. Ngoma pouted, laying down. Aw...she was just curious!
A rustling in the bushes had her perking up again, curiosity finding a new target. Ooooo....what was that? She did not expect a lion colored like wood and flames to jump out at her from the bushes. She yelped, trying to scramble back...but the male had her pinned.
"Stay still, and I won't hurt you. Come with me willingly, and you'll be well taken care of." Ngoma growled and lashed out at him as best she could.

Both Shairi and Croix heard the yelp. Croix made his way toward it, and by the time Shairi had gotten to her feet, they both heard Ngoma's growl. Shairi moved as quickly as she could towards her sister, Croix well ahead of her. The large lion growled at the fire-maned lion who had assaulted Ngoma.
"I would suggest you let her up and LEAVE." There was an edge to his voice that spoke of pain if the other did not leave. Shairi stalked up beside him with all the eerie grace only a lion born and raised among the 'ghosts' could muster. There was a hard quality in her green eyes as well. Yes, she was usually a bit of a coward...but not when her near-twin was in trouble.
"You've found the wrong group to trouble."

The lion growled dangerously at Ngoma's struggling, claws digging deeper into her skin, drawing blood now instead of just holding her down. "I WILL have you for a Na'artue, whether you cooperate or not." The Aikanaro'hini needed more Na'artu and Na'artue. The pride needed them to run in a way no demon would ever willingly admit, aside from him possibly.
"I will NOT go with you!" Her pink paw managed to come up and slash him across the face, earning a sound of pain from him. Ngoma heard Croix and Shairi before she saw them, relief fluttering in her heart. And then panic as she saw the dangerous look in the fire-maned lion's green eyes.
"She is mine, and you two will leave." Ngoma growled, one back paw coming up to kick at his back leg.
"I am not yours!"

Croix couldn't risk surging forward yet...he didn't want to risk it while the fire-maned lion was so close to Ngoma. And Shairi stayed at his side, nowhere near a fighter but trying to look imposing all the same. After all, HER sister was in danger. She'd warned her sister, so many times...why couldn't Ngoma just LISTEN to her for once! Shairi ALMOST started at the deep, dark growl that came from Croix, followed by a roar from the great lion.
"You will leave, Fire Mane!"

Tavar yelped at the paw kicking at his leg, finally letting her go and stumbling to one side a bit. His unamusement grew more with each second. "How dare you!" A Na'artue was NOT allowed to strike her master! His glare turned to the large black and red lion, ears going back and teeth bared. "I will go NOWHERE without my Na'artue!"
Ngoma was on her feet, making her way to Croix and Shairi quickly, knowing Croix would have the advantage in a fight. She didn't want to be in his way.

With Ngoma out of the way, Croix launched himself forward at the fire-maned lion, teeth bared and claws out. He had promised to protect the girls, and protect them he would. No matter what. It was what he had promised, he'd sworn.
Shairi moved to her sister's side quickly, making sure her near-twin had no major injuries. The claw marks would heal easily.

Tavar saw the large lion coming at him, and braced himself, ready to confront the other. He was a demon. He would not lose to a mortal lion, even if he was large and had demonic coloring. HE was the one with a demon's soul! He was the one with blood from not only the Aikanaro'hini, but from the fabled Firekin as well!
Ngoma had no major injuries...any she had sustained would heal quickly and cleanly. Right now...she was more worried about Croix, as evidenced by her watching the fight with nervous eyes, ears back and tail twitching nervously.

Croix slammed into the fire-maned lion as hard as he could, seeking to knock him off balance. He'd make the lion pay for harming and trying to take Ngoma elsewhere against her will. And perhaps he'd warn the male off from ever trying such a thing with anyone again.
Shairi was glad her sister seemed fine. Assured of her near-twin's health, she turned her attention to the battle, feeling just as nervous as her sister.

The dark male slammed into Tavar...and indeed knocked him off balance. But Tavar quickly regained himself with a growl, turning to lash out at the other male's flank. He would defeat this non-demon, and he would take BOTH females as slaves! One for him, one for the pride. No one would stop him!

The god felt the lion's claws, but he didn't let himself give in. He would protect the girls. Ngoma especially...Ngoma was growing dear to him, and he would not allow this lion to take her away! Using the other's closeness to his advantage, he struck out with a large paw, aiming for his face. Foolish boy would learn to never try taking against someone's will.

Tavar ducked down, his claws exiting from the other's flank, then he pushed himself forward, seeking to knock over the other lion, just as he'd been caught off balance before. "You will not win, mortal! You have no demon inside you, and you are weak!"

Mortal? Oh this fire-maned lion knew NOTHING. "You are FAR more mortal than I, Fire Mane!" And a demon inside? What foolishness was this? Was this lion truly touched in the head? He kept himself on balance, seeking the back of the other's neck, now that he was so close.

Tavar rolled to one side, refusing to let this non-demon win. "Ha! You are wrong! For even when my body dies, my demon shall live on!" He got back to his feet and launched himself at the other once again. Foolish idiot. He'd learn soon...Tavar would teach him.

That did it. Fine...he would put this mortal in his place. "You are a very foolish mortal." And he let his mortal form slip, the truth of his size showing once more, and his wings mantling as he bared his teeth. "You are but a mortal, and I am a god. And these two are under MY protection!" When the other came at him, he lashed out to grab the other by his scruff.
