 After spending a day at Pride Rock he noticed something that was different. There was tension in the air, but he could not discover what it was....
The tension was getting to him so he left Pride Rock to wander for the rest of the day. The little cub spoke with Mufasa the day before and discovered two other lion prides out there; the Firekin and the Mistweaver. The older lion said that the Mistweavers resided in a valley and the Firekin lived in a very hot place. Ger decided to go find the Firekin, just to see them. To find them, he just gots to find a place that was really hot where no animal would go and there was little water.
Ger wandered southward first. What does the unknown south holds for him? What secrets and powers and strange animals live there?
Ger took his playful steps one by one along the patted-down path.

Along the fringes of the graveyard, a large white shape stood in the shadows, a massive lion with a gold mane and broken wings. If one knew this lion, they'd know that there was surely a red lioness nearby even if she wasn't seen.
He stood here quietly, his form large and imposing, menacing. On his maw he wore a malicious grin, dark talons extended to mar the earth beneath his paws. He inhaled deeply, taking in the scent of death, revealing in this area where life ended and death began.

Something was wrong, something was amiss. Ger stopped mid-step. Somewhere inside him pulled at him, something was different. Ger turned his head to the graveyard, the dark atmosphere was derker than the days before. Cub was curious, the Firekin lands can wait.
As Ger approached the Pride Lands-Elephant Graveyard boarder, he saw a large figure. From where he stood he saw a large, towering figure with broken limbs on it's back. It reminded him of the stories that the Pride's cubs told about these monsters that would gobble up lonely cubs when they wandered too far from home. Was this creature a monter? Would it eat him?
Ger's curiousity was too strong and so he stepped forth into the foresaken graveyard.

Tanaka's ears flicked at the sound of approaching pawfalls, eyes narrowed as he turned toward the sound, his gaze falling on a small yellow form. What the...another cub...how foolish of it's parents to let one so small wander off into such danger. So innocent, so full of life, little did it know.
"Rather far from home aren't you? You shouldn't wander off, you never know when you'll run into a monster."
At his last words, Tanaka's jaws parted in a broad grin that bore his large fangs. It was not a pleasant grin, but rathar it was vampiric, demonic, accented by the flexing of long black talons.

Ger's mind told him to run, but he wanted to know more about this 'monster'. His body seemed evil itself, this male, judging by it's mane, didn't have to do anything to add to it's intimination.
Ger, with a slight boost of confidence and bravery, "So what if I am far from Pride Rock, I am old enough to wander off." he scowled.
"Who are you?" he asked in his stern tone. Whoever this creature was, it resembled a lion but at the same time did not. Who was this creature, what business does it have here.
...Does Mufasa know he is here

Tanaka smirked, talons clicking against the ground as he stepped toward the cub. He wasn't much in the mood to deal with yet another cub, and for a moment he debating simply eating it or just ignoring it, but Tanaka was never the type to pass up terrorizing or even corrupting the young.
"Well aren't you brave...or maybe you're just foolish."
The demon was massive, towering over the cub, dwarfing the small form he stood before. When he lowered his head to look into the cub's eyes, his massive skull only added to the image.
"And if I refuse to tell you...?"
His tone was mocking, cold, he had no intention of answering the question. Oh, but what would the cub do now? This could be interesting after all.

Ger's curiousity was deminished and now he just wanted to play.
"If ya not gonna tell me your name, then I can tell you mine." he smiled. "Name's Ger." the Pride Lander said looking up at the looming lion.
He looked around the graveyard, last time he was here the little blue hyena was too.
I wonder where Yakuti is....maybe he is willing to play.
With this creature's head so close to him, Ger reached up with both his paws, trying to latch onto it.
Ger was laughing.

What the...Tanaka pulled back, lifting his head to escape the cub's reach, snorting at the small paw as it contacted his broad muzzle.
"Get off me, kid."
The lion's tail flicked in mild irritation, stirring up a cloud of dust. Little brat, what was with this cub, he wasn't afraid...well, not yet. Tanaka would have to remedy that.

Ger's paws fell back in front of him as his maw moved to a smile.
"Aw, come on. Just give me ya name." he said.
WIthout word or warning, Ger circled around the large lion and pawed at his swinging tail, he was easily amused, especially when it annoys the unwilling to cooperate ones.
Ger purred

Tanaka growled low, his tail thumping against the earth, the golden ring he wore clicking against bits of bone and rock. It was an annoyed growl, one that said he was irrititated, but it wasn't a growl of attack, at least not yet.
"Cut that out."
Tanaka whirled around, his tail pulled from the cub's grasp and he turned to face him again, green eye narrowed at the small golden form. Audacious little brat, did he have any idea what he was toying with? Kinda reminded him of someone actually...
"If I tell you my name will you leave my tail alone?"

Ger gave an innocent smile, "Sure, tell me your name."
Ger brought his paws back and sat himself still, trying to be polite or....Ger's chaotic sense of the word.
Ger smiled and waited patiently for this creature to reply.
The golden Pride Lander purred more.

Narrowed eyes glaring at the cub, Tanaka snorted. Stupid cub, that was an easy trick, but the white lion sensed the cub had his own tricks. But Tanaka knew better than to fall for the cub's innocent smile, those who try to appear innocent are far from it.
"And what's to stop you from attacking my tail again as soon as I tell you? Or maybe I should just eat you now and be done with it."
Tanaka poked at the cub with an extrended talon to emphasis his words. Little runt, it was time he learned the meaning of fear and respect.

Ger pawed at where the talon touched him. But Ger was gonna be true to his word, this time anyways. THis creature was new to him and he wouldn't want to scare him off now, does me? Then again, how could he? Ger's a peanut to this winged beast.
Ger raised his paw and smiled, "Pride Land's honor, you got my word that I'll stop playin' with your tail."
"Just tell me your name."

"And just what would that mean to me, the word of a pridelander?"
The great lion circled the cub, talons cutting into the earth with each fall of white paws, stirring up dust and the smell of blood in his wake. Darkness and fear radiated from the demon, the fire in his lone green eye burning from hell itself. The action was meant to unnerve the cub, perhaps to frighten him off, but also to test him to see what he would do next.
"Are you certain you really want to know my name, such knowledge could haunt you the rest of your days."

Ger paused and thought.
I've always used, "the word of a Pride Lander", it always seemed appropriate to say.
"Nevermind, that. But you got my word." he smiled innocently. The large creature circled him, eyes beaming, talons digging into the dirt, like a vulture.
"Sure, just tell your name already!" Ger was getting frustrated, a name was all he wanted, is that so hard to ask for?
