Scar nodded and said ,"Ok. We should go to the place you were attacked and follow the lions' scent, if it wasn't destroyed.". Scar and Ashka went to the place the attack began. Scar said ,"You follow one of the lion's scent, I'll follow the other's.". Scar followed the scent and stopped. He crouched down and watched a pride move around. 'A nocternal pride!' Scar thought. Scar watched the pride mourn the deaths of the two lions, the ones that attacked them. Scar watched the pride until the sun started to come up and the pride went in their dens.

Rashka followed the scent to the pride with Scar. He was very surprised that this rouge pride was a nocturnal pride. 'It makes more sense that they attacked us towards dusk now" Rashka whispered to Scar. The liger counted the memebers he could see. "Looks to be about 6 lionesses, 4 cubs.....and there. There's the leader." Rashka pointed out. There was a large Barbary male, slate grey with a black mane. He was big. But not nearly as big as Rashka. "Scar lets go before we disturb something." Said the liger to Scar. When they returned to the clearing, Rashka sat down and conversed with the leopon. "Scar what do you suppose we do? There's many of them, we have slightly more, but still. It's your call."

Scar thought for a minute and said ,"I think we should attack them when they hunt. It would weaken alot of them, and then we could attack them. If not, then we should attack them and go for the cubs. It sickens me to hurt a cub, but we must do that if we have to. Our attack, if we do attack, should be at noon.". Scar looked around and said ,"You should get some sleep.". Scar went into his den and lay down next to the small leopon cub. He let it snuggle into his fur and fell asleep.

Fireclaw ran up to Scar.

"You shouldn't hurt the cubs. They didn't do anything wrong." said Fireclaw.

"Why would you be worried? They aren't in this pride anyways!" Scar replied.

"They are just the beginning of their lives. Would you enjoy being born and then killed off by your own kind? They didn't do anything wrong!" argued Fireclaw.

"This is not your choice, Fireclaw! They are the beginning of something terrible. If we kill them now, they'll kill us as they're older!" Scar said

Fireclaw unsheathed his claws and puffed his fur. He let out a small growl.

"Fireclaw, if you really care about that pride you should go live with them." Scar argued.

" What if we just took the cubs as our own?!" Fireclaw furiously roared.

"We can't! The point is that it would weaken the other pride! If we take the cubs, they'd go after them!" Scar roared.

Fireclaw's fur raised more, he was clawing the ground in frustration.

" I will wound my leg to lead blood there, I will steal the cubs, and make the pride think they are dead. Whatever happens, I will not kill a innocent lion cub!" Fireclaw said as he clawed the ground beneath him, leaving scratch marks.

"They know their cubs' scent! They would know that your scent doesn't belong to any cub! They'd also follow you back to the clearing! You'd get our cubs killed too! If we all jumped into the clearing and killed the cubs, the lionesses would feel weaker! They wouldn't even want peace if we asked them for it, so we have to do this. It's our only choice." Scar paused before continuing ,"Go back to your den, now.". Scar turned his back on Fireclaw.

Fireclaw roared at Scar, ready to attack him. He bared his large, piercing teeth. 

Scar turned around and roared ,"If you've forgotten, I'm the leader of this pride! If you don't respect me then leave!". Scar swiped his claws and clawed Fireclaw's face.

Fireclaw lunged at Scar, claws unsheathed. He pushed SCar into the wall, leaving claw marks on his belly and neck. Scar lay there, unconscious.  Fireclaw, looked worried. 'No! What have I done?!' He thought to himself. He backed up and burst out of the den, running into the rainforest. He slipped and fell in a puddle of rain. He looked up to see 3 faces in front of him, all with their fur spiked and circling him. 'Oh no! The other pride!' he thought. One of the females was getting ready to attack when Fireclaw quickly roared out.

" Wait! My leader said he was going to attack the cubs of your pride! Please protect them! They didn't do anything wrong so please prtect them!" Fireclaw said.

The females looked surprised.

" Wait... You mean... They want to kill the cubs?" asked one of the females.

" Yes!" Fireclaw said. 

"Please protect them!" said Fireclaw.

" Thank you..." said one of the females.

"I am Stone. What is your name?" Said Stone

" I am Fireclaw. Don't tell my pride I did this... Well actually I'm not going back..." Said Fireclaw.

" After they find out what I did to Scar, I will probably be killed." Said Fireclaw.

"What did you do?" Said Stone.

" I attacked the leader. I was angry at him for planning to kill the cubs." said Fireclaw.

" Fireclaw!" he heard an angry voice in the distance.

" Uhh... I have to go! Bye" he said as he ran past them.

Elska awoke and ran to Scar. How long has it been since she talked to her best friend? Elska stopped. She saw claw marks everywhere. The small leopon cub was unharmed. Elska watched it run to an unconscious body. The cub was freaking out. Elska moved to closer to the body. She gasped when she saw it was Scar. Claw marks were all over him. She could smell Fireclaw's scent everywhere. Elska tried to wake up Scar. When she failed, Elska started to freak out. She ran out of the den and screamed ,"Fireclaw attacked Scar!". A few lionesses gasped and ran to see their leader. Others followed Fireclaw's scent. Elska ran to Rashka and buried her face in his fur. Elska didn't know what to say. Scar was her best friend, what if Scar died? Elska started to cry at the thought of Scar dying.

Ken's jaw dropped as he looked inside the den. He signalled Talon to come. 

" We have to go find Fireclaw. I don't care if I have to be killed. I need Fireclaw back because he was my only friend besides you." whispered Ken.

" I am going with you." Said Talon. They started off into the rainforest, hoping nobody would see them.

"I wonder what made him so angry." said Talon.

" He was probably standing up for his own opinion. I did hear Scar say he was going to kill the cubs of the other pride. He was probably angry about that." said Ken

" Good ole Fireclaw, always standing up for whats right..." Said Talon.

Rashka watched in horror as Fireclaw attacked Scar. The liger wanted to intervene but decided he was too large and that this wasn't his fight. He watched and watched and as the fight became more violent Rashka ran to find his mate. "Elska!" He called to her. Rashka heard roars and growls coming from the clearing then sticks crackling coming from the jungle. 'What on Earth?' thought Rashka. He slowly followed it and he saw Fireclaw...talking to a rouge pride lioness! As soon as he heard what Fireclaw said and saw what was happening he ran as fast as he could back to the clearing and then he saw Scar, bloodied and possibly dead. Rashka didn't know what to do and wasn't even brought back from his thoughts when his mate rushed up to lean into him.

Elska looked at Scar and watched him get up. "You're alive!" Elska gasped. Scar nodded and curled his tail around the leopon cub. Elska realised that the moss in the den was stained with blood. "Why would Fireclaw do this?" Elska thought out loud. Scar sighed and replied ,"He left. He didn't want to kill any cubs in the other pride. Who knows if he warned the pride...". Elska said ,"I'm going to find him! I will kill him myself if I have to!". Scar gasped. "I promise our cubs and I will be safe, Rashka." Elska said and ran off, following Fireclaw's scent.

Fireclaw. ran up a tree. He looked up to the sky, tears in his eyes. ' What have i done?!' He thought. Talon flew up to him. 

" Come back..." Talon said.

" No. Just think of what they will do to us when we get back to the clearing. Maybe if we leave them alone, they will go easy on us and won't kill us. Well, more like me."  said Fireclaw.

"I don't belong to our pride anymore..." said Fireclaw.

"I have to start training myself for when a lion comes to attack me." said Fireclaw.

" I never knew Scar was like a poacher" said Ken.

" I am going to go scout for lions that are searching for you." said Talon.

" I will stay back and protect you as you train." said Ken.

" We are our own team now..." said Fireclaw.

"Scar Fireclaw told a lioness from the other pride what you are planning to do." Rashka said quickly. The liger then ran off with Elska, as he was not letting her go alone. She was in to condition to fight and was starting to become heavily pregnant. "Elska! I'm not letting you go. You are too important to me. I'll find Fireclaw and kill him if that's what you wish. And if you will not go back, im coming with you. I really want you to go back to the clearing and keep you and our cubs safe Elska. Please." Rashka said sincerely to her as he stared into her green eyes.

"Rashka, I must do this! I never thought Fireclaw would do this! We should've left him in that poacher truck!" Elska said. Elska ran threw the jungle and stopped at a tree. She looked up and saw Fireclaw in the tree. "Fireclaw! What are you doing up there!?" Elska asked. Fireclaw woke up and looked down. He immediately woke up. He stood up and jumped down from the tree. He ran through the brush and under logs. That was the advantage of being the runt. Elska chased after Fireclaw and managed to grtab his tail. Fireclaw slipped, only to find Elska pinning him down, claws unsheathed. "Ken! Talon!" Screamed Fireclaw. It was over. Elska was about to bite his throat when suddenly, he was free. Ken threw Elska off, beating his chest and screaming.�Elska gasped. She pounced on Ken when Ken threw her off. Three rogue lionesses came. 'It's over! I couldn't keep my promise...' Elska thought. Ken grunted, "Leave now! We would kill you, but we aren't poachers like Scar, killing cubs!". Elska got up and snarled ,"Scar is not a poacher! I'd gather you kill me then attack Scar!". Ken grunted again, "Killing cubs is what a poacher would do! I could also kill you! It would not be hard" he said as the rogue lionesses circled Elska. Elska focused on one of the rogue lionesses. She swiped at her face, and probably made her eye bleed. The 3 lionesses attacked. One, holding her down while the others clawed her and were talking to her. She wasn't sure what they were saying but it was something about leaving. She was then free of their gripping paws and she stood up. She saw five faces staring at her. "If you did kill me, you'd also be killing my cubs, and you don't think your poachers?!" Elska shrieked. "That is the only reason we didn't kill you." said Fireclaw. "We wouldn't even kill our enemies cubs."Said Ken. Elska ran off towards the clearing screaming stuff like "Traitors". Elska tripped over a log and lay there, thinking about what the had said. 'Maybe we should steal the cubs, and then chase the rogue pride out of the jungle.' Elska thought. She got up and limped back to the clearing.

"Stone, Tooth, go get the cubs out of the prides den and warn your leader about the news." said Fireclaw. About an hour later they returned with their leader and the cubs. 

" Step forward, Fireclaw. I'd like to speak with you. " said the leader.

Fireclaw stepped out and bowed to the king.

" Thank you for saving our cubs..." Said the leader. 

" You're welcome." Said Fireclaw.

" But these poachers are still a threat to all. Our pride won't survive. Neither will yours. If we want to survive, we have no choice but to unite. There is onhly one person here that can help us do that. And by the way, the lions that attacked your pride have been kicked out of our pride." Said the leader. 

" I will try my best." said Fireclaw as he bursted through the rainforrest with Ken and Talon.

Rashka couldn't keep up with his lioness, she was just too fast. He heard roaring and growling and the sound of a gorilla. Rashka soon found where his mate had been attacked and there standing in the area was Fireclaw, a gorilla, and a bird. The massive liger out sized, out weighed, and out stregthed them all. They only out numbered him. Rashka was furious that they had attacked his Elska, so he crouched down among the shadows and waited. As soon as Fireclaw left he took his chance. The huge liger then burst out from the forest and attacked the gorilla from behind. Rashka sunk his enormous canines into the soft neck of the silverback while digging his long claws into his side and chest. Rashka out weighed the gorilla by a lot, and he was struggling to stay up with the huge cat on top of him. Eventually, the gorilla fell, not dead, but severely weakened and loosing blood fast. Rashka knew he would live, but he could not fight. Rashka left the gorilla there for Fireclaw to find. He got his message out and cantered back to the clearing with bloody paws.

Scar walked threw the rainforest on his daily walk. He stopped for a minute and hid in the brush. Two lionesses were herding a bunch of cubs. Scar saw a few small cubs, they looked like they were newborns. 'If only I could sink my teeth into one's throat...' Scar thought to himself. Scar limped up to the lionesses and nodded. "Hello, there. I am Scar, leader of the nearby pride. Do you happen to know where a flame colored lion is?". One lioness stared at him in fear. Scar admited, he looked like he got hit by those metal things poachers ride in. He was a leopon, blind in one eye, and had scars nearly everywhere. One cub looked up at him and squeaked ,"You look weird.". One lioness, with a bright tan pelt and amber eyes, looked at the cub and scolded him. "River! Don't be rude, I'm sure he's been through alot." The lioness said. She looked at him and said ,"I'm Tooth. This is my sister, Stone.". Scar nodded. One cub, with a black pelt and blue eyes, said ,"I saw a fire colored lion! Is he ClawFire?". Scar smiled and replied ,"You mean Fireclaw? Yes that's him.". Tooth said ,"He wants to apologise to you and your pride, Scar. It was all a misunderstanding.". Stone nodded. Scar smiled and said ,"Ok. I also must add, what beautiful cubs your pride has.". Scar turned and walked back to his pride.

Fireclaw �stepped onto the leaders rock. The lions looked uop at him and snarled. One started running at him. Ken burst in front of Fireclaw and snarled. The lion skidded to a halt and backed up.�

" Go ahead, Fireclaw." Ken said.

" I am sorry for what I did. But, if I didn't do it, we would be attacking an innocent pride right now." said Fireclaw.

The lions looked around in confusion.

" Yes. I know this sounds crazy but, the lions that attacked us were kicked out of that pride because they shouldnt have. It is a a misunderstanding. The leader, the mothers, the cubs, they had nothing to do with it. WE were actually seen as evil to them. If I wasn't here to seek the truth, we would be seen as evil. But things are different. Their leader is actually nice, so are the lionesses and cubs. There are more dangers to be worried about. Right now you are focusing on the other pride but other dangers will come. Poachers will hunt us and make us into carpets. Their pride won't survive. Neither will ours. So uniting depends on our survival. So I say we turn 2 prides into the strongest pride you will ever see! Who is with me?" said Fireclaw.�

" Well spoken" said Ken with blood on him from Rashka's attack. 

Nobody attacked. Not even Elska.

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...
