Green eyes gazed outward towards the direction Ger had last been seen. Or was it more to the right? It was so long ago, she couldn't remember. She hadn't gotten any bigger since he had left, she felt something was terribly wrong. Perhaps she was being punished by the gods. Then again, she did have Amy here, she was her friend that stayed. But Amy was also going to be a mother, Kaede didn't have that...she was young and naive.
She wanted her own happy ending too.
Kaede stretched out, golden pelt lit up by the sun's cascading rays over her being. Was so warm out today, though she lay in place, she looked out towards the seeming nothingness. Wanting to see Ger, wanting to be a big lioness now, wanting her own happy ending.

The creature stalked in the shadows of the acacia trees that littered every corner and everything in between of the Pride Lands. He had lost his chance at getting at Jamaa and Yakuti. If it weren't for that runt of a ratel, those two would be bowing to him like the Egyptians to the gods and his kind before he came here. He wanted anyone to listen to him, obey him, worship him. But no, they are too stuck on the idea of being their own. Hell, he'd kill for just anyone would be his ideal servant.
The male stalked the shadows slowly, emerald eyes fixated on Pride Rock. When the wind blew, he quickly ran, eyes stuck on that massive structure. It was where he could surely trick a cub of the royal family into obeying him, making him his. Then he will have a place up there in the royal family and relive the the life he lost so long ago.
As the dark male ran, his foot caught something causing him to trip. Reflex kicked in quickly as his slender and flexible body jumped and twisted back into a standing position, growling at where he fell. His eyes narrowed more when what he was staring at was another...jackal.
"Watch where your going you!"

Kaede was listning to the wind, eyes closed, she didn't want to look out there too long. She feared she might be pulled away from here, her home, ot some calling for her to search out her friends who had traveled by, then left. She sighed, then heard something, opened her eyes just in time to feel something clip her back. She winced and curled up, curled her tail around her.
What was that?
Green eyes settled on a dark figure, a bit bigger then her. She tilted her head, stood up, yet crouched down, ears folded back. He was mad, but, he looked like her! Was he a lion too? "I-I'm sorry...I didn't mean to..." she took a closer look at him. They were similar, he ahd to be a lion he had too!
"I'm Kaede...are you like me?" she asked, wondering if he knew what she spoke of.

Goma relaxed a bit, standing tall, but his hackles were still bristled slightly. His brown quirked when she had asked, 'are you like me?', what did she mean by that? What was with giving her name? What was she trying to do? Get on his good side? Pathetic, he did not need to know names. He gave names. Jamaa was brute, Topas was rodent, and Yakuti was blue butt, they were never called by their birth names and it was rare if he did.
"I don't care for your name, female. But you best know mine for it will be up there with the Gods one day and you will all be falling down under me. Homu Goma'ota. Call me anything less and you will feel a sharp reckoning in the middle of the darkest night. Got it memorized?"
He growled, finishing with his infamous line. Goma turned around and continued to move on, he did not want to be around females. They weren't that great of servant material, they were better off doing other things for males than that. But perhaps they were after that....he paused.
"It depends...what are you?"

Kaede watched him and shrank lower to the ground. Why did he act in such a way? Hmm, perhaps his lion genes made him that way? Perhaps his attitude reflected his strength? Had to be, had to be. Thats what she continued telling herself. But he didn't want to know her name? Her ears fell back more, perhaps this wasn't going to be her happy ending.
She nodded, "Yes, Homu Goma'ota, I do..." her tail curled close to her, she felt strange. Like if she did something wrong, punishment would come. But perhaps lions were like that to protect others?
"I'm a lioness...well, not adult yet but I should be bigger soon," she said with an obvlivious nod, she still thought it was the truth. "My friend, he says I'm just growing slow, are you a lion?"
She was curious, oh so curious.

Goma smirked. A lioness? Well that is a new twist. Here he thought she was just a stupid female but a jackal who thought she was a lion was really beyond pathetic. Trying to be something she is not. And to add, someone had encouraged this behavior, perhaps that other one was probably trying to get her off his back by saying it. Either that, he was too kind to break her meak little heart of the sad, sad truth.
"I am, I am the smartest and hardest one to catch out there. However, the gods were jealous and made me like this. I don't have a mane nor the superior body of a lion, I fear. I assume the gods were jealous of your beauty and made you like that?"
He smirked a bit and quickly covered it up with a smile. She would be an interesting one to crack. Now...lets see how strong of a head is on those shoulders of hers.

So he was strong! That was so mean of the gods to do to him, make him be smaller, without a fluffy mane. Perhaps what he said made sense, perhaps the gods were jealous of her? But beauty? She blushed slightly and looked down, she never thought that about herself. Were the gods really jealous of ehr for that reason?
"So cruel of them to do that to you Homu Goma'ota, surely you did not deserve such a thing," she said with a reassuring nod. She stood up now, back straight, tail wagging somewhat, smile upon her maw. Perhaps this Homu Goma'ota was different then she thought. He seemed nice, underneath it all.
"You must be really strong and wise, perhaps of royal lion blood like those ehre in the Pridelands? Is there anyway I can help you Homu Goma'ota?" she didn't know if he dwelled here or not, but it only seemed proper to be nice to a fellow lion.

Goma smirked and glanced down at her.
Hook line and sinker....like a rock.
He smirked and began to circle around her. She indeed believe that she was a lion, he was one too, and that the gods punished him. She was gullible as one could be.
"I was part of the Royal lines of another pride, I let anyone who wanted to come, but I refused the Gods to join. Think about it, if such beings came to that pride, how will that make us feel? Inferior, weak, powerless if they were to take over and enslave those poor, helpless animals. I guess it was because of that they made me like this."
He gave a fake sigh and turned away from her. This was actually rather entertaining...
"Well, I know of of some ways to fix this curse of mine. I dunno if someone such as yourself would do such a tremendous favor for someone like me. Please, sweet female, do not bother to aid me. Commit that to memory."

Wow. He was part of a royal line? She wondered if he was a prince, or even king? Wow, such a honor to be in the presence of one of royal blood. She didn't know what to say, how to act exactly, if he was royal, she was supposed to respect him wasn't she? Aid him, help him?
Kaede padded closer to him, stood on his right side, green eyes trying to delev into his, "Please Homu Goma'ota," she thought, and smiled, "Lord Homu Goma'ota, please, let me try and lift the curse from you so that you could regain your status as the strongest and most feirce lion there has ever been."
Her tail was wagging. Wouldn't Ger and her friends be so proud? To know she had met a lion like herself, one of royal blood, surely they would be astonished adn proud wouldn't they? A smile was still on her maw, though he asked her not to, she still wanted to try.
"What can I do to help Lord Homu Goma'ota, please tell me my lord?"

He smirked. This was so much easier than those other times. However, during that night back at the pyramids, his entire lineage was wiped clean. Anubis had betrayed him....He watched the female walk to his side and stare up at him. This was gonna be more fun than he thought. He smiled to her and gave a fake purr and forced wag.
"Kaede, you must give yourself to me. I must show my passion for others and show the gods that I am not selfish. Kaede, I must show them that I gave you something with nothing in return."
He smirked and gave a lick to her head and nuzzled it dry. She was a cute one, he'd give her that. Sort of made him feel guilty having to take her like this. Nah, who was he kidding?
"Kaede..."

Kaede listened to Goma, such royalty she believed. She nodded, trying to understand his situation with the gods. Yes, surely they would forgive him adn grant him abck his lion self if he showed compassion, passion, even towards her. Butterflies were in ehr stomach, she wondered if she helped him that she would be granted a true body of a full grown lioness.
Then they could live happily ever after together.
"Alright my Lord," she bowed her head to him adn then nuzzled under his chin. She felt strange, nervous, shy, yet anxious. She was young, didn't understand the world and how it worked with love and passion, but believed what Goma said was the truth and nothing but the truth.
"W-what should I do?"

Goma smiled a fake soft smile and licked her again, there was affection in there...somewhere. He was finally gonna restart the lineage he lostto the two leggers from that sand, god forsaken place. Now there was a female willing to 'aid' him in his 'curse'. Aid as in mate with him and curse as in lack of pleasure. He had a sick mind....
"Oh Kaede, you are doing such a great deed for me. Once I return to my throne, I assure you will arise as my queen."
He said, nuzzling her with the same passion as the smile. He murred and nudged her shoulder softly, but at the same time rough and hard. He was gonna make sure she will never forget this. forget him and his power. She will be worshiping him like the gods he once stood by.
"Kaede, take me to your den. This process must be a...private matter."

Kaede smiled and wagged her tail and growled in her throat softly, like a purr only...stranger. Her tail was wagging slow, eyes closed, just focused on the contact between them both. She was glad she was helping him, so glad. She would be a queen?! How lovely.
Her family would be so proud of her for this.
Her den? Her den...most of the time she went back to her family's den. But perhaps...oh yes! Her secret spot she traveled too sometimes when she wanted to be alone. "Yes my Lord, this way," she nuzzled him playfully adn licked his cheek and padded forward a few steps, then peered over her shoulder with a smile to make sure he followed.
She traveled a little ways, not far, was a bit inland from the borders, but there was a fixture of rocks together, an opening in the middle. Inside was pretty large, she dug out more and more everychance she got, paying close attention to teh structure of it. She waited at the entrance. He was to go inside first because he was royal...right?

The male a few called a 'Nobody' watched the female lick him and moved on. She turned back to him with a smile and continued one. When it was safe and she could not see him, he rubbed his cheek of that lick. Stupid female. She will not forget, no not for the rest of her life. He smirked and quickly followed.
As he approached where the female had stopped, he paused to look at it. The place he shall avoid for that day forward. She will bear his pups and they will be raised and they will continue one. He was sure this female will not disappoint him.
"Thank you, Kaede. I assure you, this will not hurt....much."
The jackal gave a deep, dark grin and brushed past her into the dark den.
It won't hurt much at all...not yet.

Kaede waited and watched him approach, she was still forever smiling, tail wagging. She thought he was her knight in shining armor coming to be with her, be that someone special she had always wanted. As Goma brushed past her and went inside, she didn't understand his statement, not at all. But of course, she knew nothing, so she would be confused.
She shrugged it off, and believed he would take care of her, no amtter what. She swayed her tail once more before turning into the dark den, believing this was her happy ending.
-----
But it wasn't her happy ending.
It was different then she thought, she believed it would be fine over time, but it wasn't. She got really tired, nearly passed out, but she remembered looking up at him, seeing his face, his eyes, she smiled at him, believing that she had saved him.
Then there was nothing.
Now it was morning, rays of sunlight penetrating the den's portal entrance. Peering around with green hues, Kaede did not see Goma anywhere, she scurried to her feet, sniffed around, went outside.
He was gone.
Her ears folded back, perhaps it was a bad dream, or he just went somewhere for a while. Maybe to talk to teh gods again. She hurt, adn laid at the den's entrance. There she waited, like she had waited so many times before.
For someone she cared about, to come back to her again.
