Tuzika climbed up onto a rib cage of a deceased elephant, her stomach growled for she hadn't been successful with hunting. Jumping to where she can see the landscape, better see to the Pridelands to the Outcast land, she let her ears to twitch. She could hear the hyenas behind her, calling each other names, fighting as one complained, "Tuzika!! We are starving where is the food!!!" She looked back at the whiny hyena, jumping down in front of him, knocking him to the ground with ease, growling as she snapped at him. "If you wish to be dinner I suggest you shut up, understand me?!" The other hyena laughed as the one under her weight whined, but nodded in agreement as she let him go. "Good, now get out my face." This caused both hyenas to start running as she looked back to the Pridelands. She set out for food, heading to the forbidden place for Rogues or maybe just her.

[Enter Musa from Priderock.]
Musa giggled quietly as he entered the Elephant Graveyard, not noticing where he was going. He was chasing after a butterfly that had caught his attention. Just as he jumped for it, his foot got caught between the nearly buried ribs of an elephant skeleton. He landed with an "ouf" in the dirt. Rubbing his muzzle with his paws, he finally took notice of his new surroundings. Eyes wide, the cub's mouth was agape with awe. It was the coolest place he's ever seen! Getting to his paws, he scampered off, looking through the eye sockets of dead elephants and climbing up their spines. It was all so fascinating to him!
Issa padded up to where Tuzika had just soon, flicking the nose of the nearest hyena with his tail as he passed by it. The lioness certainly had made a point when she scared those two hyenas. Smirking, the dark male lion sat with his front paws crossed on top of an elephant skull, watching the Pridelands with an amused look. One day, he would freely hunt through those golden grasses among the plentiful prey the Pride lions had access to. Some days he thought it was unfair that they had the best lands, but he knew it was just how the circle worked. Licking a paw, he brought it over his ear several times. He paused mid-swipe at the sounds of a cub's giggles. His dark blue orbs scanned the graveyard, searching for the source of the giggling. No rogue lioness would allow her cub to be here. It was certain to him that it was a Pridelander's cub. They didn't know how to keep a proper eye on them at all.

[Enter Abaeze from Prideland.]
Abaeze cautiously entered the Graveyard, her fur on end as she swung her head in every direction, her ears straining to pick up any sound that was Musa's voice. Suddenly, she heard the suppressed giggling of her brother in the distance, and her heart quickened. "Musa." His name barely passed through her lips, was barely heard even to her own ears, before she raced off in the direction of the cub. Her claws ate up dirt as she avoided any bones that would serve to hinder her search for her brother. She spotted him playing with a butterfly on top of an elephant's back, it's spine sticking out from the earth like weeds in the water. Relief flooded through her body at the sight of his cheery face, but her heart soon plummeted when a set of gleaming blue eyes shone behind her precious little brother as well as several pairs of bright orange eyes and white teeth. "NO!" She roared, leaping in front of her brother and facing the male lion that threatened her kin's existence.
"Aba—"
"Run, Musa! Run!" She all, but roared at him, panic in her heart as time ticked away. She had cut a path for him on her way to him, but if he didn't get a move on now, they both would be dead. "RUN!"
Musa's paws were moving while his mind protested his escape. Abaeze was still back with those monsters! She would die! But, he wouldn't stop running. His heart was pounding in his little chest, it hurt so much, but he wouldn't stop. He heard laughter behind him, and he picked up his pack.

Bounding straight into the graveyard, bones of giants littered the dark area. Glooming over smaller forms with their ancient white color. Some so cracked and broken you couldn't tell what they truly were. Then, a sound she never wished to hear. The sound of laughing. The sound of soon to be death. The sound of the devil. The might lioness moved faster, paws gliding across the dust bottom. Seemingly made of ash, it rose to the air, clouding vision. Emerald eyes seemed to glow in the darkness as finally, Ayita ricochet off of a skull. Paws outstretched, claws unsheathed, and ears curled back with a snarl. This head huntress was in the mood to hunt down some male's. At the moment she seemed to humanly foot ball tackle a male lion. Easily pinning him. Furious eyes held no pupil. Teeth bared in their sharp pearly white glory. She could tear this male apart. But hopefully, Abaeze took this chance to go after Musa. This was afterall was the main point why Ayita would put herself in this situation. That and a blood bath might ensure.

Issa grinned at the head huntress of the Prideland's pride. It was sort of thrilling to be pinned under her instead of the other way around. But he knew she could kill him at any second. He did not feign this knowledge nor avoid it. Instead, he spoke to the lioness with a calm, even tone, like soothing an upset cub. "We were not planning on hurting the little cub." Several hyenas behind him, the ones that had not run away at the lioness' appearance, laughed in their annoying, high-pitched voices. He rolled his midnight-blue eyes at them before turning his eyes onto the lioness. "With all honesty, Head Huntress Ayita, I have no intention of harming him. Now, these hyenas on the other hand are a different story. I wouldn't be surprised if that lioness from several moment ago is finding it difficult to save the cub."
Abaeze was running, just running, after the scent trail of her little brother, blood trickling from her left flank and leg. The blood on her muzzle from when she didn't see an elephant's tusk, was drying now, but her head kept pounding. The hyenas were chasing after her, after her brother and her, so they would become their next meal. Musa's no one's dinner! She thought angrily as she finally caught sight of his mud-brown tail slipping into an elephant's skull, but they didn't have Mufasa to save him. Abaeze wasn't as strong as the king of old. Taking a deep breath, she roared at the hyenas surrounding her little brother. The ones no snapping their yellow teeth into his hiding place ran several meters, but they came back as soon as she placed herself in front of the skull and tried to swat the hyenas away. "Musa," she panted, swiping her claws down the face of one male hyena while kicking the head of another hyena, "when I say 'run' I want you to run back into the pridelands." They were so close to the border of their lands. If she could distract them long enough...She slammed her body against several hyenas, clearing a path for Musa. "RUN!" After a moment's hesitation, the cub shot out of the skull and straight to the pridelands. Abaeze looked on at her brother with pride. He was safe. Pain zapped down her back leg—the injured leg—a hyena had clapped his filthy jaws on her. Roaring, she fought the hyenas off, but became overwhelmed quickly. Twenty or thirty hyenas against one yung lioness. It would only end in death for one side of the battle.

Oh, it seemed this male lion had truly now clue. Abaeze was smart. Her size differed but brains counted for most. And Ayita knew this. Of course, there was also the matter of the hyenas. While the male beneath her explained, the head huntress had to lift a paw to place it on his throat. Much like a certain battle of brothers long ago. Keeping her teeth bared she herself had to laugh a little. "Probably. But not for long. There's a certain friend of mine coming." Snapping her jaws shut, she wasn't going to let this male go. Oh no. The hyenas left were no challenge for her. This lioness was a beast so to speak. And a beast she could be. And not one to mess with. Even alone by herself. Truly not all that of a good idea. While her paw wasn't pressed too hard, it was a threat. The lioness was warning him that if he tried anything. She was more then capable of making sure he stopped breathing. This warning was given as she slowly got off of the male. Still, she hated this part of her but she trusted him enough to not try anything for he probably did not want a death wish.
A horrific roar let out into the air just on que. A white shadow moved rapidly through the boneyard. Like a low floating cloud. This had to be Soyali. And boy was it. Grey eyes themselves still holding that blank expression they always did. His maw said otherwise. Teeth as white as his pelt, the giant easily mowed over the hyenas before the elephant skull. Jaws opened and one was grabbed, and thrown. A large back paw smashed into the face of another. Mouth free the Kind King roared. Swiping a paw, knocking a hyena unconscious immediately while it was sort of tossed into another. Moving to stand infront of the skull, he was protecting Abaeze. "If you value the lives of your clan I'd reccomend you leave quite soon." The tone of voice may not have seemed all to threatening. But the male wasn't kidding. This king never played around with affairs such as this. Such a serious matter at the tip of his claws. These hyenas were going to get hurt. Or killed. And Soyali could make that happen.

[Sorry this took so long to response. I was busy cleaning.]
Issa sat up, shaking out his dark mane as he stared after the lioness. The distant roar of a pride king sounded in the graveyard. So the lioness from earlier was saved. That was nice. "But this is only the beginning, Pride lions. He whispered, turning around and walking into the deeper parts of the graveyard.
Abaeze raised her bloodied muzzle, gazing at her pride's king with a sense of relief. His mighty roar frightened the remaining hyenas and sent them running with their tails between their legs. A wry smile graced her muzzle as she limped over to the Kind King of the Pridelands. "My thanks, my Kind King." The light-furred lioness dipped her head in gratitude to her king. If he had not arrived, the hyenas would have taken her life. "I cannot express enough my appreciation." She mewed humbly, her blue eyes staring at his face for a moment before the pain in her shoulder made her wince. She needed to find her brother and return to Priderock to tend any of his injuries and her own injuries.

(don't worry about it)
Ayita stood there and watched at the male lion stalked off. Green eyes locked on Issa as if waiting for something to happen. Lips twitched, still in the heat of attack mode. "Pathetic.." This was a dangerous situation for her to be like. Things could get ugly real quick if someone was to come up to her. Those eyes held no emotion in them just the glare of hatred. The head huntress despised any lion that may even raise a paw to a cub. None the less, she herself did it to her brother. But, discipline was different then killing. Letting a snort of air leave her nose, the brown pelted lioness turned on her paws and headed in the opposite direction. Following the echoes of a roar. The deep barreling rupture of a rather large beast itself. It was only the sound of a friendly king. Seeing the white giant and the cream blood splattered huntress, Ayita came forward. The head huntress herself, simply bypassed them to head up towards the Pridelands. Her head was slouched down and her gait alone was slow.
Soyali let that large maw of his close after a bored yawn. The hyenas were simply a waste of time. At the mere sight of him they probabaly quivered in their slunched back forms. But, the attack was to prove a point. Which it obviously did. Turning a white head to gaze straight at Abaeze with those grey eyes, the king came forward. "The simple fact you are alive it appreciation enough. Now, the task of getting you to Priderock." Wise eyes glanced up, seeing a slowed lioness. "Though I believe you are not the only one that needs to be a tad bit fixed up." Soyali looked down. Moving to the side, the king offered for her to lean against his massive frame, to help her walk. It was the least he could do. It wasn't as if he could lift her. It would be uncomfortable for her far more so then walking.

Abaeze shook her head no. She'd manage her way backt o Priderock without his help. Besides...she didn't want to get his white fur stained with her blood. If she had thought out her plan to rescue Musa more thoroughly, then she would no be in her current situation. "I'll survive. I'm more concerned about Musa." Her mind wandered to thoughts of her precious brother. She had nearly died because of her careless actions. If it wasn't for Soyali, she would have never seen Musa again. She had actually accepted that she might die. She was glad she had not though. It brought relief to her mind and body. "We need to find him. Even if he's in the Pridelands, he can still get hurt." Her world revolved around her brother. Nothing else matter beside him and the pride. She limped towards home, catching a glimpse of her dark-furred head huntress in the distance after she had passed them
[Exit Abaeze and Musa to Priderock?]

Understanding why the lioness would wish to walk herself, Soyali stayed silent, Following after Abaeze to help just incase there was help needed. The mighty lion wouldn't leave the lioness' side until they reached Priderock. She would then be able to take care of herself. While then his attention would turn to Ayita. The head huntress had issues when she became too emotional. Not so much of a good thing. So heading off towards home was the task. They'd be there soon.
(yep yep)

Issa sat in his small hiding spot among the elephant bones. It was an area the pesky hyenas couldn't reach, or hear a conversation well if they even thought about him being up here. He kept his spot well hidden and never allowed others to join him in it. He yawned, looking around in case some hyenas were about. He didn't see any hyenas and didn't smell any hyenas for sure. Getting to his paws, the massive, dark lion dropped from his high nesting place and landed on the ground, his weight making a soft "poof" sound as his paws touched the floor. Shaking out his dark mane, he traveled through the graveyard, bored and hungry, but mostly bored.

It truly had not taken that long for paws to guide a large frame through the Pridelands. Then again with a large gait and a occupied mind, it didn't seem to take that long either. As dusted paws shifted through the dusted ground, green eyes shifted about. Ayita wasn't uneasy. On the contrary. She wasn't afraid of this place and had never been. Even as a cub she wasn't afraid. There was only question. Why would elephants go to a single simple place to lay themselves to rest. Sure, family would stay together. But they wouldn't be providing for the constant circle. No, their bodies would rot in this cavern. Next time at the watering hole she'd probably spark up the question for a matter of fact. Since the animals knew she wouldn't take advantage of them like that. Others might have. Stopping in her tracks, the head huntress lifted her muzzle. Not having the greatest nose in the animal kingdom, it was good enough. Able to shift through different scents it was easy to find and locate the one of the male lion from earlier. No doubt, he'd have a feeling she was here. Issa didn't seem stupid.

Issa spotted the lioness before she spotted him, and he smiled. So, she came looking for him, huh? But why would she do that? Did she intend to threaten him? Tell him to never approach one of her pride's cubs again? He had never intended to harm the cub, only speak with him. It was those damn hyenas fault for spotting the cub as well and assume he was going to kill him. Inwardly, he sighed in frustration at the memory. Getting to his paws, he revealed himself on top of an elephant's skull, above the lioness' reach. He didn't like her paw on his throat.

There was the all too familiar feeling of being watched. Eyes shifted about to see where the gaze was coming from, not quite understanding the format of this place. It wasn't too often the head huntress had to come here. Actually, not too many times in her life to begin with. Never this far in however. The sense had gotten worse and ears pinned back. Looking up and over her shoulder eyes locked on the male from earlier. Issa was on the large skull of an elephant, peering down at her. He was smart to stay away from her. However, Ayita wasn't hear to fight. "Not here to fight with you. Simple questions."
