Izrail was on a quest once again to find those who were strong. His father Majanga needed more members for the pride and only the strongest were allowed. The only exception to that rule was Izrail. He was only allowed to stay in the land because his father the was lord of the Sith. If he would have been just a normal rogue, he probably would have been killed. His father had told him that while in the land he could not speak unless spoken to and even then he was only allowed to say little. Izrail had the habit of talking nonstop, something that irritated his father and the other sith. It wasn't really his fault though. His life had been different then most and that caused problems.

When he lived with his mother, he had to do all the talking. She was too weak to talk too much, and so he would constantly talk to her to make her remember that he was there looking over her. He would ramble about the silliest things. It wasn't long until that was the way he talked to everyone. He was working on getting better at it, but it was hard. More than anything, he wanted to make his father proud of him. His mother had adored him, but so far his father just pretended he didn't exist. He wasn't sure what he could do to get his fathers attention, other then being annoying. His father said he would train him that way, if anything, he could defend himself. However before the training was meant to start, Majanga wanted him to bring back more members for the pride. It was proving to be a difficult task.

He let a sigh as he continued forward. Eventually he would find someone interested in joining. Until then he would continue his adventures in the jungle.

Today wasn't the best day to patrol, Ahaz thought as he walked near the border of the land. His mind wasn't really on watching the border land, but instead on his friend Atino. He hoped it was still okay to consider her his friend. They hadn't really spoken for a couple days. When they did speak it was short and to the point. It worried him, because he had confessed that he liked her more then just a friend and now she was hardly talking to him. He wished they could just go back to how they were even if that meant he would never tell her how he felt. At least then they would at least talk to each other.

He continued to walk around. As he walked he noticed a large blue lion. The lion looked a little lost. He wasn't a jedi, that was for sure. Ahaz didn't recognize him nor did he have a jedi necklace. “Hello there.” Ahaz said as he approched the lion. “Seems like you are lost. Is there anyway I can help you out?”

Izrail looked and saw a cheetah. He smiled. The cheetah looked pretty strong. He might have found a perfect candidate. “Yeah, my pride needs some help. An enemy pride is trying to take our land and so we are looking for members to join and help us.” He explained. “My father is the lord of the land. He's the one that sent me on the mission.”

He hoped that the cheetah would be interested. Izrail was getting sick of traveling and would prefer a place to settle down. “I could also use some food if you know where some is. I would really appreciate the help.”

Ahaz nodded. “I can bring you back to the temple and we can talk there. I am sure if your need is as great as it sounds, that my friends will be able to help you. At the temple is some food too.” He said with a nod. “Right now you are in the land of the Jedi so while here you must obey our ways and not try to interfere with our way of life.” When he was brought in, they didn't give him any warning. The moment he woke up he felt anger fill him. He was so frustrated that he couldn't leave because he was too weak and often took his anger out on the jedi watching him. Though once he met Atino, he stopped with that.

Jedi... Crap.

“Maybe I should find someone else to help me. I mean I wouldn't want to be a bother on you and your friends. I shouldn't have asked in the first place. It was very very rude of me.” Izrail said quickly. He didn't want to get found out as a member of the Sith. If they figured out they would probably skin him a live or something worse. “I should head back to my father. He is probably worried about me.”

Izrail turned around to leave, but the cheetah was right behind him. He quickened his steps and glanced behind him. The cheetah was still there on his tail. Izrail ran quicker, but by the time he looked forward, he noticed a tree right in front of him.

BAM

Ahaz just wanted to make sure the lion was okay. He started acting odd randomly. Then he started running straight for a tree. “Watch out!” Ahaz yelled, but the lion failed to hear him and hit the tree. The lion seemed to be knocked out. He circled around the lion. There was only one thing he could do and that was to bring him back to the pride where he could be watched. He let out a sigh. This would be one travel. He grabbed the lion be the back of the neck and started to pull, doing his best to make sure the lion would get hurt.

He wondered if this was what he was like when he was found. Atino probably saw him being dragged into the pride. His ears went pink thinking about it. The trek was long, and he had to take a lot of breaks. It wasn't long until they were at the pride though. Others came and helped him carry the lion to the healers. They would watch over him until he was better. Then maybe a peacemaker would talk to him about his pridal troubles. It was odd that he would run away like that though, especially after asking for help. He wondered if he heard false rumors about the Jedi. The Sith were known for their lies and Ahaz wouldn't put it past them to start up some lies to ward away future members.
