Roleplaying

Scar dragged the small carcass back to the pride. This won't feed a cub! He thought. The small newborn Okapi was easy prey, but it was so small! Once he got to the clearing he realised he was the only male that went hunting. The lionesses that went hunting had brought back an elephant calf and a bongo calf. Scar put the bite sized okapi in the prey cave and went to go teach some cubs some hunting moves. Scar saw Elska playing with the three cubs that lived in the nursery he smiled and said ,"Hey, Elska! How's it going!". Elska jumped and sighed once she realised there wasn't an invasion. "Scar, stop scaring me!" She pleaded. Scar just shook his head and smiled. Elska sighed ,"Leopons...". Scar felt offended and walked off, he could hear Elska calling his name and saying ,"Scar! I'm sorry!". Lionesses. He thought.

Ken was carrying a large heap of ripe mobola plum when he heard a noise that sounded like an elephant dancing on twigs- crackling and crunching. He turned around to see poachers. He gasped. dropped the fruit and ran to tell scar. 

He reached Scar and suddenly interrupted. " Scar! Poachers in the rainforest! They've come for us!"

He was suddenly interrupted by the shout of poachers. They were pointing at the pride. Ken charged them scaring them into the bushes. 

" We have to fight or we leave. I choose fight!" said Ken with anger. He beat his chest and screamed furiously.

Scar gasped and nearly screamed ,"We have to stop them!". Scar shrieked at the top of his lungs ,"Poachers!". The pride instantly went into action. Mothers and their cubs were hiding in the nursery, adolescents were helping elders into the adult den, and the king was giving orders to many lions and lionesses. The king turned around and stared at Ken and Scar ,"Ken, try to release any animals the poachers captured! Scar try to scare them away! Kill them if you can!". Scar look at Ken and said ,"Ken, do you know how to open cages?". Scar didn't even wait for an anwser, he ran towards the poachers, roaring at the top of his lungs.

Scar gasped as the bullet hit his leg. He colasped and started to growl. No... He thought. The poachers looked at Scar and started to talk. What would they do to him? Use his pelt as a rug? Stuff him and put him on display? Eat him?! Scar just growled. The poachers kicked him in the neck, causing him to gasp for air. The poachers talked for a little bit more and walked off. Scar shakily got up and limped after them. One poacher triped over a log. This poacher was the one with the gun! The poacher dropped it, and Scar pounced on the poacher. He swiftly killed the poacher and snarled at the other one. Killing the poacher seemed to give him strength. Scar chased the second poacher and pounced on it just as it was about to grab it's gun...

Elska stood with the other lions and lionesses as they waited for the poachers. She heard gunshots and wanted to start crying. Scar please return! She pleaded in her head. They had fights alot, but they were friends. She even had a crush on him, but she was terrified to admit it. Her thoughts were interupted when three poachers invaded the clearing. The sound of a gunshot filled the clearing, and she saw a lioness, Moon, colaspe as she rushed her cubs in the den. "Mommy!" They screamed. Elska gasped. The cubs were next! She picked up a cub and hid him in the food cave. "I'll get your siblings!" Elska said. The cub was crying, obviously devistated at the death of his mother. Elska would be too, it happened infront of him. Elska grabbed the next cub, a small female, as the next gunshots went off. She rushed to the food cave and hid the two cubs in the stomach of an elephant calf carcass. "Stay she ordered them." They both nodded. Elska could now hear shrieks of terror, gunshots, and the poachers screams. Where's Scar when we need him! She thought.

Talon looked around, horrified at the sight of the bloody battlefield. A poacher threw a net onto him and tied it together. Talon screamed and beat his wings. suddenly, a gorrilla threw him to the side and took the falcon. The gorrilla ripped open the net and left. Talon started to fly and cought up with the gorrilla. He landed on his shoulder.

" Get Him!" said the gorrilla as he pointed to a poacher holding a lion cub by the scruff of its neck.

Talon flew over to the poacher and sunk his talons into his free arm. He let go of the lion cub and then the gorrilla pounded the poacher into the ground.�

The gorrilla asked " What's your name?"

" Talon." He responded.

"Talon, nice to meet you. Go unlock as many cages as you can and the meet at the clearing!"�

" Okay!" Talon shouted as the gorrilla bounded off.

Scar looked around the field. he dropped the limp poacher and ran to the clearing at the sound of shrieking lions, adolescents, cubs, and lionesses. There were 5, no ten, no 15 poachers! A few unidenified limp things lay on the ground. The last 5 poachers ran away once ten were killed. Scar watched as they threw the poacher bodies into the jungle. He gasped as he saw a few limp bodies get up. They faked being dead to get the poachers away. A quarter of the pride were dead though... He walked threw the dead bodies and froze. There was a small cub. Moon's cub. Moon ran towards the cub, shrieking her head off. Her other cubs emerged from the prey cave with Elska. "Elska!" Scar gasped. "Hello, Scar. Isn't today just lovey?" Elska said sarcasitly. Scar pointed to the dead cub, who was being nuzzled by her mother. Elska gasped ,"No!". Elska and Scar ran towards the dead cub and the grieving mother. Elska was crying ,"I could've saved her!" She wailed. Moon shook her head and whispered ,"They started firing at you and her.". Moon's other cubs leaned on their mother and cried. Scar left the four so they could grief in peace. 

The air smells like an incoming storm...

Ken returned with Talon. They were horrified at the sight of fallen adolescents, lionesses, and cubs. Ken felt as if he had failed to save the pride. 

" What happened, Scar?" asked Ken.

" The poachers got to the clearing" replied Scar.

" I failed... I failed to protect my family..." Ken said.

" It wasn't completely your fault, Ken. It was all of us. The poachers are just heartless and don't know what it's like to be a lion. Plus there was no way to stop them from coming." said Scar.

Ken felt the same pain as the day his mother was shot. I can't believe I let them down.

Scar sighed ,"Poachers invaded the clearing. They had guns...". Scar looked around the clearing. The surviving pride members were burying the fallen ones. Scar didn't think he could explain the horror. "I want revenge." Scar finally said "Revenge for the adolescents and cubs that never got to hunt or sleep in the adult den! I want revenge for the lionesses and lions that never had cubs! I want revenge!" Scar screamed. The pride looked at him and agreed with lot's of "Yeah!" "For the cubs!" and "Revenge!". Scar looked at Ken amd said ,"Revenge will come soon, Ken.". Scar then walked off to help bury the dead.

Rashka had been walking for what felt like an enternity to him. The thick jungle was relentless with its infuriating insects, labyrinth style design, and over all loneliness. Finally, the dense bush turned into easily walkable terrain. The liger hauled his emense body with muscular ease around floor of the forest. He kept walking and walking and walking and walking...till he heard noises. It was a lion pride. His black ears flicked back and forth to pin point the direction in which the noises came from. 'Where were they...' Rashka thought. "Bingo." He had found them. He walked at a considerably fast pace in toward the pride. Rashka's huge frame wasn't the best for hiding, so he considered and more proffessional approach. That is, till he spotted an odd looking lion...or leopard...or lion... "Ahhhh, a Leopon interesting. It's a male. Wonder where he got all those scars..." Rashka spoke softly, well as soft as he could with that booming voice of his. The enormous liger made his way after the leopon,who seemed to be head away from the pride.

Kitsune climbs out of her den yawning. A little mad she was woken up by the noises she sighs and walks forward. She looks around, then in the direction all the commotion was coming from. As two cubs dash and hide behind her she sighs, looking around some more.  She notices everyone is on edge, scared, worried, petrified to say the least. She counts a few members that are missing, and notices all the other females with their cubs in a safe location. She trots up to a few members and sighs. "Can someone please tell me what's going on out here? You all look as though you've seen a ghost!" She chuckles, looking around once more.

As Rashka stalked along behind the male leopon, he picked up a faint sound. It's was the tiny wail of a small lion cub, Rashka determined. Spinning around on his huanches, the huge cat bounding across the jungle floor in the direction of sound. He came to a steep ledge, at the bottom a rocky river thundered in a strong current. Rashka look down, searching for the cub but failed to find him. Finally, he could just faintly pick up the scared meew of the cub. "Come out little one, I will not hurt you." Rashka assured the tiny cub. He looked down into the casam and saw the cub's tiny head poke out from inside a hole in the side of the cliff. The cub was fawny color with gray points and blue eyes. "Here take my paw, I'll help you up." Rashka gestured for the cub to latch to his enormous paw, which, the cub was roughly the size of. "I'm Rashka. Where's your mother little guy?" Rashka asked kindly. The cub was very obviously terrified, understandly because he had never seen anything quite as large as Rashka. The cub finally purred," I got lost when some poachers came around. I ran away from my mama because I was scared. I think she's back at the den...at least, I hope she is." The little cub gulped and started to cry. "Oh no no, don't cry. Come, let's get you home." The cub and Rashka then started their way back to the pride's den. Rashka didn't know how the pride would treat him when he arrived with the lost cub. He was an outsider after all......and a freak.

Running Wind jumped, *What was that?!* She took another step, *What was THAT?!* Freaking out she looked wildly about trying not to die of a heart attack; she looks near by a small frog croaking. She breathed a sigh of relief, "Who knows what that could have been one of those metal animals that are always by those humans." She looked wildly about again, *What if it was?* She shook her head *Stop it. STOP IT! Stop freaking yourself out, you always do this why do you do this?* She started pacing, her heart was racing. She felt as if something was watching her, then the frog croaked again, and she took off leaving a dust trail...

Elska looked up at Scar and gave him a look saying, Be right back. Scar understood and waited as Elska walked around the pride to make sure everyone was all right. She hear Kitsune's question and answered ,"A few poachers attacked the pride and we lost a few pride members.". Elska then returned to Scar and whispered ,"Where's Ken?". Scar gasped ,"He must've gotten caught by poachers! I have to get him back!". Elska shook her head and said ,"You can't. It's too dangerous and besides..." Elska tried to thing of something to say. Saying Ken was probably dead wasn't an option so she said ,"He might ne hiding and waiting til dusk.". Scar sighed ,"I know you think he's dead! He's not... I'm going to find him.". Elska didn't say anything else as Scar ledt the clearing. What would she do if her best friend died or got captured by poachers?

The setting takes place in a beautiful jungle. Okapi, Bongo, and rarely elephant calves and hippo calves are your pride's main prey. The forest is full of life, and dangers. The pride faces poachers and their traps, larger animals, and poisonious creatures. The pride lives in a clearing in the heart of the jungle. The clearing consists of dens, a pool of water, and a cave like place for storing prey. The cubs and their mothers sleep in the large den together. Adolescents also share this den, but prefer to stay away from the cubs. Once a cub turns into an adolescent, their mother can leave the den and stay in a larger den. This den is for any adult pride members, but the king, queen, and their cubs. The smallest den is for the leader and his mate. These lions are called the King and Queen. Unlike most cubs, theirs stay with them until they're adults, and then they move to the adult den.

Life of a Lion

Life as a lion is tough! You must worry about poaching, illness, starvation, war, etc. all the time! You must help your pride survive!

(The history is in RP "style")

As the night went on, the rain grew heavier by the minute. Screeches made by unknown creatures echoed in the strange place. The pride wanted to turn around, but poachers had taken over their old territory. "I want to go home!" A tiny cub cried. Her mother said nothing as the cub resting on her back squealed it louder. The king of the pride looked at the cub and said to the little cub ,"Starlight, you know we cannot go back. It's either come here or die." His words didn't help at all. The cub started crying until she fell asleep. The pride were soaked, starving, and weak. Some cubs and adolescents were ill. They stoped in a clearing, thunder waking up the tiny cub. The king looked around the clearing and smiled...
