Roleplaying

"You might think it's annoying to by twice the size of everyone, but I think it makes you look tough." Elska said, still purring from the joke ,"My mother died when rabies broke out in the jungle. A leopard infected with rabies bit her while she was hunting... Follow me, I'll show you around." Elska lead Rashka to a small den that was filled with cubs and adolescents. "This den is the cub's den. Cubs and adolescents will stay here until they grow up." Elska moved on to the next den, a larger one with a few adults in it. "This is where us adults sleep you are also welcome to sleep here." Elska ran off to a large rock, a small cave was on the side of it. "This is the king's den. The king of the pride and his mate sleep in the cave. The king makes meetings on the rock. Only a few of us are aloud to go to meetings, though." Elska stopped forma minute realising she forgot the prey cave. "The cave that we store our food is the prey cave, by the way...". Elska looked around and smiled ,"I think that's all.".

Rashka walked calmly beside the lioness as she showed him around the pride's den and explained to him what they were used for. When she paused for a while, he assumes she was done showing him around. Then he remembered she called him tough. He kind of liked that. "You really think my size makes me look tough?" Rashka said excitedly as he smiled a little bit. He sort of thought Elska may have liked him back. "Do you think I will be allowed to sleep in that den? I mean, I'm not exactly trust worthy yet. Scar didn't even ask my name or anything about me. I guess he finds me just a likable guy." Rashka chuckled again.

"Yes, I really do think you look tough because of your size. Also, you can sleep in the den. Scar doesn't really talk to many animals." Elska told Rashka ,"And of course your trustworthy!" She added. She wondered if Rashka could tell if she liked him. Elska shuffled her paws unsure if she should tell him. She decided not to tell him because she didn't know how he'd react. Elska looked at Rashka and said ,"Soon, we'll have to get into the den. My pride wants everyone in their den after sunset. I hope you don't mind the monkey screeches.".

Rashka's golden-orange face fur turned bright red as he blushed at Elska's compliment and he noticed her shuffling her paws. He thought she like him, well, at least he hoped she did anyway. "Well thank you Elska." He looked into her eyes and gave her a warm smile. He then realized he was staring and snapped himself out of it. " I'm very used to the monkey screeches by the way. They've bothered me every night for 4 years." He chuckled and Elska seemed amused. "I guess I'll be sleeping by myself in the den tonight..." The liger exclaimed and he dearly wished that Elska would invite him to sleep next to her.

Elska smiled and said ,"Oh you don't have to sleep by yourself ,Rashka. If you'd like I can sleep next to you.". Elska smiled and said "We better get in the den before the sun goes down.". She saw her pridemates gettings cubs and adolescents in their den and going in their own den. Elska looked back at Rashka and said ,"Follow me.". Elska lead Rashka into the moss filled den. The others were kind enough not to stare and a few said hello to Rashka. Elska stopped in an empty space, big enough for Rashka and herself. She curled up and told Rashka ,"You can sleep next to me. I've been longing to sleep near someone.".

Scar was the last one to go into the den and he curled up in a tight corner. He stared at the other lions and lionesses before sneaking out of the den. His mind was set on finding Ken. Ken had to come back! He wouldn't leave them, would he? Scar ran threw the thick jungle and stopped. A snake slithered along a tree trunk and monkey screeches filled the jungle. Scar tried to find Ken's scent but it was no use. 'Thousands of gorillas must of been here.' Scar thought. He heard a strange noise and could smell smoke. Scar decided to investigate. He followed the sound and the scent and stopped. He was standing in some metal path. Scar looked up and gasped. One of those metal animals poachers use to hide animals in was coming at him, only bigger. Scar leaped into a bush and ran as far away from the metal animal as he could. He stopped only to find that he was lost, he was at the edge of the jungle. At the edge of the jungle was a large river, seperating the jungle from a plain. Scar sat down and watched the water trying to figure out what had happened.

As Rashka was lead into the den, he noticed the male leopon suddenly bounce out of his spot and bound away into the jungle. The liger wondered if this was usual for him. None the less, Rashka was much more worried about Elska. She had asked him to sleep next to her!! Oh the joy he felt made him not want to sleep at all! Rashka relaxed himself mentally and slowly lowered his enormous body to meet the ground next to Elska. The white lioness was warm and alive, much more than he had ever had the honor of sleeping next to before. "Of course I will sleep next to you Elska. Let's just hope I don't roll over you in the middle of the night." Him and Elska laughed, Rashka knowing he would never do anything to hurt Elska. He liked her. He liked her a lot.

Elska was still giggling from the joke. She leaned into Rashka. She felt safe, safe from poachers. Elska soon drifted off into a deep sleep. She dreamed about many things. Most dreams were pleasant. One dream was one where she was a cub again, and her mother was alive. Another dream was about the pride, and how the lost pride members never died. One disturbing dream was about Elska losing Rashka. She awoke with a start and let out a sigh of relief. It was a dream, and Rashka was still next to her. Elska closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep again. This dream was just Elska walking in the jungle. There was barely any life, and Elska saw a disturbing sight. Humans were cutting down trees. Animals living in the trees quickly escaped. The slower animals like snakes, sloths, and a few leopards went down with the tree. Elska's dream soon faded into nothingness and her sleep turned into a dreamless sleep.

The liger could feel the white lioness snuggle into his huge body. She was so small compared to him and he wanted to protect her. Rashka fell asleep within minutes next to Elska. He was in a deep sleep as he dreamed of him and Elska in the future. He dreamed of a home here and a family. Once, he was awoken by Elska's stirring and he gentley nuzzled her ears to calm her back to sleep. He even noticed a small notch in her ear. 'Hmm, wonder how she got that.' the liger thought. 'Could make a conversation starter in the morning.' Rashka decided. He then closed his eyes and fell back into a deep sleep next to the lovely white lioness.

Elska awoke at dawn and looked around. A few pride members were still sleeping. She looked at Rashka, who was still sleeping. Elska started to groom his fur to surprize him when he awoke. The pride probably could tell she loved him, but Elska didn't care. She would protect Rashka and even risk her life for him. 'I'll tell him how I feel about him when he wakes up.' Elska thought. She didn't even stop grooming his fur once it was clean. 'I want it to be perfect.' Elska thought. Once she finished, Rashka's fur was as soft as silk. Elska curled up next to him and waited for him to wake up.

Rashka could feel the warm ray of the sun against his eye lids. His amber eyes popped open and the hot jungle air filled the den and he remembered Elska beside him. Rashka then noticed how clean and beautiful his fur was. 'She cleaned my fur for me? No one has ever done that before." He thought. Finally he got up and stretched out his long body, which took up 3/4 of the den. Rashka then plopped back down next to Elska and gentley licked her ears and neck to wake her up. He wanted to tell her how he felt. The liger hoped she loved him back.

Elska awoke to Rashka licking her ears and neck. She looked into his amber eyes and said ,"Rashka, you might not feel the same but I really love you." Elska leaned into him and smiled. She hoped he loved her back! Elska kind of felt weird telling Rashka this but she didn't really care. "It's ok if you don't feel the same, Rashka." Elska purred and continued ,"I can understand if you don't.". Elska stared into his amber eyes waiting for a response. 'I hope he doesn't hate me forever.' Elska thought. She would regret telling Rashka this if he hated her for saying this.

As the liger heard those blissful words come from the lioness's mouth, his heart swelled with joy. " Really Elska! I didn't know how to say this either, but I feel the same way about you too. I've been looking for someone to love for a very long time and I finally found it." Rashka leaned into her, but not to hard, he didn't want to hurt her. "I hope I never have to leave this place, and you. I do love you too." Rashka purred and he curled his orange striped tail around Elska's white one. "Does this mean we are together now?" Rashka asked her as he stared back into her beautiful green eyes.

Elska purred and answered Rashka's question ,"I guess so. If you have to leave I will come with you.". Elska leaned unto Rashka's warm fur. "I'm so glad you don't hate me for saying that I love you!" Elska said ,"I'm also glad you love me back.". Elskamdidn't know what to say. She wanted to scream with joy. 'I finally don't have to be alone.' Elska thought. Elska stared into his amber eyes and said her thoughts outloud ,"What will the pride think?". Elska got nervous, what if they'd kick Rashka out? She'd follow him everywhere he goes though. Elska secretly promised to her self that she'd defend Rashka even if she had to risk her life.

Scar awoke and realised he fell asleep and was still lost. 'Better than me being dead.' He thought. Scar ran threw the jungle screaming "Ken!". He tripped over a log amd looked up in surprize. 'Oh, no!' He said in his head. Scar stared at the leopard. It was skinny and probably starving. Scar remembered his rude father and killed the leopard quickly. "It asked for it." He told himself. Scar continued walking and stopped at the metal path. He quickly jumped over it and ran towards the clearing. He stopped and saw something terrible. Two lionesses were dragging the king out of his den. Only he was dead. It wasn't murder, as he looked peaceful. 'Old age' Scar thought. This meant Scar was king! Scar couldn't have any offspring because he was infertile, so he guessed the liger would become heir. A few lionesses screamed ,"The king has died! Scar is now our king!". A few cubs and aoldescents poked their heads out of the den. The pride was burying the fallen king. Nobody really mourned, as the former king wasn't special to them. Scar realised he was now the King of the pride. He was happy yet sad, but happiness won. Scar went to check out his new den.

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...
