Hatada and Medhu smile at the courage and kindness of their new adopted daughter.
All of the Beyondic cats sit smiling to her, already enjoying the new member of their Pride. (not Lui, he hates everyone. dont take it personally) Hatada twitches his lightly coloured ears. “I beleive that the other cats i asked to meet here should be arriving soon”
As he says that, a small clouded leopard, maybe half the size of a lion, but bigger that a house cat, pads in. Her neck decked with neclaces and her paws with bracelets. under each eye is two painted stripes, under the left eye is blue and red streaks, and under that right is black and yellow streaks, to resemble the prides. She has an odd smell, strange plants and fruit smells float around her presence. She looks older than all of the Beyondics Leviara has seen. The clouded leopard sits next to Hatada. “ So this is Leviara, eh?” She walks over to Leviara, looking at her teeth, and how skinny she is. She examines her eyes and also all of her scars. “In Bad shape, this one is! But she will be a good warrior, I can feel it! Strong and Brave, wise and noble”
Medhu smiles. “Leviara, this is the Mystic of Sukai. Her name is Althea, She has been here long since us, she came with the first Beyondic cats, and was gifted by the Henget Taivaalla, immortality. She is a healer, able to hear and fix things with majik. She can speak fluently with The Henget Taivaalla.”
Althea turns but does a doubletake. Two strange, barely noticable markings on the new cub . A transparently blue paw print marking on her head, and a fire, like marking on her right shoulder. “Dear, what are those marking on your head and shoulder?" Leviara doesnt know. “that paw print… it is the symbol of greatness, the symbol of the great Sielu himself! the Sielu is the warrior in the sky, the brighest star, he was never alive himself while i was, but stories have been passed on forever. Led by his star is the constellation of the warrior claw, that marking on your forehead. I dont know what that means for you, though. I will speak with the Henget Taivaalla. Whatever the Sielu has in plan for you, is good.”
The pride looks shocked. Medhu and Hatada mostly.
“That marking on your shoulder… it resembles the ancient Beyondic symbol for speed like no other… hmmmm-“
“Hello Hatada!”
Hatada jumps, unexpecting Lukio to walk up behind him.
Lukio’s Grey coloured mate Coal sends Hatada a freindly nod.
Lukio shakes paws with Leviara. “I’m Lukio, cheiftain of KasaiPride. You will love it here. You arent the only Lioness coming from somewhere totally different! I was born in Japan, lived there till I was 11 years old! I dont know where you are from, but you will love it here a whole lot!”
Following behind Lukio and Coal are three cubs, two lions and a leopard. One lion cub a deep russet colour with two blue tinted grey feathers clipped behind her ear. One lion cub a tan colour with black hair on his head, some hanging over his eyes. The other a dark tan leopard with black spots and a cheeky grin on his face.
The russet female steps foward. “Hey Leviara. Im Anna. And this is Kai, and Devin.” Anna has a different smell on her than Kai and Devin do. She smells of pine and herbs and fresh berries. noticing leviara’s confusion, she speaks up “Oh yeah, I’m a KaiganPride lion! they belong with Kasai. But we hang out at the park alot together”
Kai winks and Devin waves. A similar smell like that of Anna’s wafts into the room, along with the presence of a large male lion. He is a tan colour, with a dark brown mane with faint streaks of blue running down the lengths of his magnificent mane. He has a broad face and strong looking jaws, but doesnt look incredibly old. “Anna,” he chuckles with a deep voice “ I asked for you to wait for me! My legs cant catch up with you”
Anna grins apologetically “sooory, Tabbaki!”
“ah, Leviara Cleopah Jasmine, the new Taiyo lioness” Tabbaki, the leader of KasaiPride says haughtily. His dark tail with his Blue Chieftain Ribbon held at a humble greeting point. “You look beautiful. Welcome dear. I wasnt able to bring my mate and co-leader today, Lusa. She was busy coordinating our december Stock-up hunting trip, to stock up on fish for the winter. our part of the river that flows through our Province is so large because every year water flows down from the melted snow left over from the Henget Taivaalla Mountains and fills our rivers, making the Yhera Region the wettest, also the hardest to find fish in”
“Kurai Chieftain, Lexias, wasnt able to make it for reasons unknown,” Lukio mumbles to Hatada loud enough for most around them to hear. They share a long nervous glance before looking away and clearing their throats. “Nothing to worry about. I trust his messenger crane and Lexias just as much as we trust our messenger Parrot, Zuma and All of you leaders” Lukio says aloud, looking a little uncertain. “see, Lexias just hasnt been seen around for a long time, and when we do see him, he akts shady. Its nothing to fear, just odd.” she says optimistically. Kai shares a sceptical glance with Devin and snorts. Hatada steps foward. “I also want you to meet our messanger crane,” A large Red- crowned crane flies in through the crack in the ceiling where the Henget Taivaalla was once luminating (which it was now a faint glow) He lands on the ground next to Hatada, his magnificent Red tuft on his head showing up loudly in the room with most hues of browns and greys from all of the lions and cave walls (exept of course the tail ribbons of all the chieftains, which stood out loudly aswell) His chest was puffed proudly. “Each pride has a messanger bird, most are cranes, but Lukio’s is a macaw named Zuma, whom she brought from Japan. This is ours truly, Jiko” The crane nods, his beak in a grim, bleak expression. But his body stanced pridefully. A proud bird. “Theres also KaiganPride’s Osuva, and KuraiPride’s Hayaku. These birds send messages from pride to pride.”
“Dawn is coming. I must go” Tabbaki says, waving his tail kindly at Leviara. “Come, Anna"
“us too.” Lukio says, summoning the two Kasain cubs, and her mate. “bye Leviara. See you around”
Hatada nods good bye, and turns to Leviara. “lets go back to TaiyoPride Province. I want to show you our camp, and our land.”
Medhu flanks Leviara as the entire Pride starts the trek back to Taiyo Province.
Hope its ok! sorry it took soooooo long!
