The white lioness moved slowly through the Pridelands, her home. She loved the place and had always why she was still there, she had never left the pride and she had no intention to leave the pride, it was her home. She was born outside the pridelands though her parents were definitely part of the pride and because of that so was she.
The lioness hadn't had the best start to life, her mother was slaughtered in front of her and her siblings by her mothers sister, her aunt. They hadn't seen each other since but that didn't matter too much. Mchengo didn't spend much time thinking about bad things, what was the point in doing that when there were so many good things about?
Her blue eyes looked around the lands, she had inherited her eyes from her mother, they were beautiful and she loved them. She wasn't a vain lioness, never once had she thought herself to be beautiful and she had never once thought about having a mate or cubs of her own though she would have loved to have some.
She looked up at the sky and smiled, the sky was beautiful. Everything was beautiful to her and everything was good. She would never find fault in things, she wouldn't judge anyone. There could have been a big bloody battle happening and yet she would still believe there was good in all those fighting. She couldn't bring herself to believe there was anything bad in the world, it was too beautiful.

A honey coloured lion had recently entered the Pridelands, he hadn't noticed that there was a pride here even with all the strange smells which gave the lions away. In his mind the place was just a big open playground, but then that was what the whole world was to him.
Unlike the white lioness who wasn't too far from where he was walking, he had a reasonably care free childhood. He had been born to a pride which kept to the custom of sending the males on their way when they reached adolescent. He wouldn't see his sisters again and he didn't mind. It was how life was, he had accepted that and taken up the challenge to take on life without worrying about what might be lurking around every corner.
To him the pridelands were beautiful, the grasses were so green compared to every where else he had been. There were no brown grass and there was water where it was suppose to be. He had travelled most of his life and yet he had never came across lands so wonderful and so fresh as these. They were something different, very different.
His orange eyes looked around the lands and it was then that they landed on the white lioness. He hadn't seen a white lioness before and she was something curious that was for sure.
He tilted his head slightly, his large blond/cream mane fell over his eyes. Chuckling he flicked his head moving his mane and walked over to where the adult seemed to have settled down. He couldn't see what it was that she was doing as she had her back to him. He couldn't smell food so he was sure that it wasn't that.
He walked over, letting out a roar of a greeting. He made himself look a lot bigger then he was and shook his mane. He was a rogue after all and this was a pretty girl. All his instincts told him to act as if he was in charge, after all she could be the start of his own pride.

The lioness had been far too busy playing with the flowers to notice that another lion was near and even if she had noticed the chance that she would have cared about it was pretty low. The flowers were just more interesting. She would bat at them with her paw and occasionally try and put them behind her ear though with paws it was impossible to do so, didn't stop her trying though.
The roar surprised her but she didn't suddenly turn, instead she tilted her head a little listening before she turned. Her blue eyes landed on the honey coloured male and a smile crossed her face. Another playmate! She hadn't met the lion before but it didn't matter to her, if she was able to play with someone she didn't need to know a name or anything about them. Being able to play with them was all that she needed.
Before she said anything though she watched his behaviour, she had never seen a lion act in such a dominant way before. It was probably because Kami was queen so why would anyone else try to be dominant? She was queen, she had her cubs who would rule after her...
Mchengo shook the thoughts from her head and ended up just smiling while looking at the male. After looking at him for a while she got up and walked over to him cautiously. She sniffed at him and then backed off a little. He smelt strange, new. He wasn't from around here she gathered that much but she wasn't really good at understanding all these odd little things about others so she wasn't too bothered. She just smiled, as always.

The male watched her, his orange eyes looking over her white body. She had such pale markings that seemed to look so odd. Her eyes though, they were something. So blue.
As she came towards him he tensed up a little and let out a soft warning growl sound. He wasn't going to let her get too close, he was in control, he was the male. He let her sniff her and then he went over to her, he sniffed at her and nudged her before he started to climb onto her. She seemed larger then his siblings and she obviously thought this some sort of game by the way she seemed to act. It confused him somewhat.
He moved away from her and sat down, his tail curled around his body as he looked at the female.
"Who are you?" He asked. He wasn't going to talk he was just going to be dominant but just as he was he had noticed that she didn't know what was happening. Her eyes had been too happy, she didn't know what it meant. Maybe he had stumbled into another prides land in which case he would need to leave quickly before he was ran out by the male of this pride.

She watched him curiously, she really didn't know what he was doing. Males were so confusing!
"I am Mchengo! Who are you? I haven't seen you before." She tilted her head and smiled. She would never be weary of strangers and one day it would get her in far too much trouble but for now she was curious.
She looked at him again, he was such lovely colours, it reminded her of her mother and her aunt. The memory flashed in front of her but she shook her head, he couldn't be related he was far too nice. She would just wait and let him tell her things.
"Where are you from?"

"I am Chipo and I am not from around here. I stumbled across these lands by mistake." He wasn't going to go into detail about what it was he wanted to get out of this random meeting. He would take her to be one of his many mates in the pride he would start up. She was a beautiful thing and he was sure it would all work.
He shook his mane trying to make himself look larger then he was though he found that this female seemed to nice to take by force. He would win her over one way or another though. He was sure of it.

The white female tilted her head slightly and nodded,
"OK if you say so. This is my home, it's beautiful isn't it!" It wasn't a question, more of a statement. She thought the pridelands were the most beautiful thing in the world and wouldn't leave for anything or anyone.
"Why are you here? You going to live here? It is such a lovely place, I am sure they would love a new guy like you here." She had calmed her playful side down and was now thinking a bit more clearly like an adult probably should. Though still she was naive believing that everyone out there was nice and there wasn't a bad creature around.

He wasn't quite sure what to say to her. He had come to find lionesses that he could take away and start a pride of his own but here she was saying males joined this pride? It seemed wrong in some ways. Why would a lion allow other males into the pride when there is a possibility of a take over? It made no sense.
"Live here? I am not sure, it is possible I suppose. I may just stay here for a while and see what the pride is like before making any decisions." It seemed like a sensible thing to say, then he could work out a way to find some more females and while doing so try and understand why males were allowed to join a pride. From where he came from it was forbidden. Once you reached adolescent you were out. So strange.

Mchengo just smiled. Did this mean she would have a new friend? She at least hoped so.
"Would be nice if you lived around here. I have to go soon, see my family but I shall look for you. We can play sometime!" Her blue eyes were basically glittering as she smiled at him. He would make a good play mate there was no doubt about that.
"If you decide to stay, there is a Queen who rules, Kami. She is suppose to be quite nice, I haven't met her though." She stretched a little and smiled, "Anyway I have to go, nice meeting you and I am sure we will meet again!" She went up to him and nuzzled him softly before rushing off home. It was getting late and she still kept the rules she had been given as a cub.

Her sudden need to go confused him even more. What kind of rules did they keep here? He wasn't sure he wanted to stick around to find out but for some reason he wanted to see that female again. She was so full of life and if he could not take her for his own pride then he would have to do some rethinking.
"I will see you around then. Lovely meeting you."
He took note of the queens name somewhat shocked that a lioness would be in charge of a pride. This really was a very strange pride.
As she left he could do nothing but watch as her pure white body trotted off further into the prides lands. He had to stick around now out of curiosity and to see her again. She would make a good companion and friend.
