Abeni had stayed in the trees, unsure of why her brother had left her. When she was about to follow, though, her father attacked Tima. She had no affection for the large lion, and much like her mother she enjoyed the show of violence, grinning and cheering.
When the dust settled and the roaring stopped, her father was victorious. Abeni leaped to the ground, running over to congratulate him, only to stop at the sight of the leopon speaking to her mother as if...as if she were dead. But Ambergris looked just fine to her!
"Chinyere, Daddy, why're you so upset? Mommy didn't get hurt, did she?" She asked, sitting down with a puzzled expression. The white lioness didn't seem like she was bleeding.

Chinyere had not payed attention to the lioness, nor Tima when he had roared at him. The only thing he listened to was the fight....had...his father really done bad stuff in the past? He hugged his mother tighter with each second, more tears rolling down his cheeks as he remembered how proud Ambergris had been of him and Abeni.
Chinyere sobbed until the battle was over and as his father came over to the two bodies, he slowly backed away as he stared in half fear and horror and half sadness. He shook his head "D-Dirt work?? W-Would you really do bad things?" the teen asked shakily then Abeni asked a question, he probably would never forget. He lowered his head before shakily saying "Mother died, she died of starvation" he said, raising a shaky paw to point at how noticeably thin the lioness was

Kikilo's eyes narrowed in slight conclusion. " What do you expect from a lion of his pride? " She growled with flattened rounded ears, her gaze scorching the male's body with silent daggers while she hovered over Tima protectively. She snapped defensively at another approaching but it was only Holly. A quick smack of her tail against the ground signaled her apologies to the lioness. Her head lowered, her heart begin to flare in internally conjured flames, debating whether to follow her pride under a Leopon, or follow Anan and leave. She would make sure to give Alibaster a hell of a time for that matter...
She grabbed Tima by his mane, only shifting his body a few inches, for she was not strong enough to carry a full grown adult male lion. She then dropped his mane and lifted her muzzle, parting her lips, she began to roar continuously and informatively that Tima was dead; her roars tuning in with Holly's as their grief filled the distilled air. With narrowed eyes, her roars ceased and her attention turned back to Alibaster. With a growl, hunching at the back of her throat she tried her best to conceal it. " Do. We. Have. Permission. To. Bury. Him?" She clenched her teeth tightly. Although she had a small relationship to Tima, him being a pride male was all more than to make of for it thus leading to her fierce reaction.

Ilkivalta woke up on the ground. It took a moment for her eyes to adjust. Had she fainted? It appeared she was doing a lot of that recently. She stood to her feet and shook the dirt from her fur. Her head was pounding and her body ached. "It must have been my injuries..." She thought. She breathed in, her eyes, (Well, eye,) hadn't quite adjusted yet and she wondered who was around. The scent of blood reached her nostrils and she immediately felt sick. She shook her head and looked about, worried at what had happened.
Sayf was dead, as was Ambergris and Kenosi. Ilkivalta's head pivoted and her good eye scanned the territory. Tima had been ripped apart, his blood leaving an awful smell. What had happened here?! She looked around with fear in her eyes, wondering if something had attacked while she was out and left her alone. She looked half dead anyway. She gave out a small cry for help, seeming almost like a cub. "Alibaster? Alibaster, are you there?" His mate and his "son" had been killed. Had something come for him as well? "Where is everyone?"

Alibaster snorted, looking at Kikilo with a harsh expression. "He hardly ruled for two days, surely you didn't get that attached in such a short time?" He said, grief and anger having completely drained his patience. "I don't know what your previous pride did, but we don't usually bury animals around here. We'll take the bodies to the crossroads, as we did with Gabriel. But first, I made Tima a promise. I don't like being wasteful, so I'm going to skin all their bodies."
The leopon looked at Ambergris, eyes softening at the sight of his mate. "She would've wanted us to make use of her body," He stopped his thought there, looking up at Ilkivalta's cry. "It's alright, Ilkivalta. I challenged Tima, and I won. I'm a little worse for wear, though."
"And...Something happened," he lay his ears back, padding away from the corpses. "I don't know how I didn't see it, but even though she was well-fed, Ambergris was wasting away. When I came back after looking for Tau, I found Kenosi...I don't know what happened to him, but they both just...died. From what Tima said, I believe Sayf may have perished as well."

Kikilo lowered her eyes in a given admit. " You're right, but he is of my kind ... " She would at least expect that this older male could understand... Her expression faltered a little to his mentioning of skinning the dead corpses as if they were trophies." Skin them? " She looked upon the bodies of the deceased in an ill manner. " And to what will be done after their skins have been claimed? " She sat up, leaving contact from Tima's cold body.
Her ears chained to Ikivalta's cry of plee, and listened to Alibaster's statement. " Too many deaths have made claim here. Animals don't just...die.." She grew worried internally." You don't think there is something big going on in the shadows, lurking around in silence? The water? " She looked at Alibaster.

Baneth padded into Softwood, a calm expression painted on her face. Her mind was churning with ideas as she looked at Alibaster. Pausing, the leopardess took a moment to observe her new home. It was beautiful, and with a lot less mud and dangerous water. Satisfied with her new living conditions, Baneth finally answered Adeleke's question.
"Mommy and Daddy are going to try and become royals," she answered, keeping her voice low. She then made a "shh" sound, giving her daughter a wink. Baneth stopped, observing all of her new pride mates. She wasn't accustomed to the lifestyle, but she was sure Tau would help her with that.
"I love you too, Tau," she finally replied, leaning over to give Tau a nuzzle. "Now... how shall we go about this?" she questioned, keeping her voice low.

Finally, Chinyere with his mother and his older brother dead, he needed comfort. None of the lionesses seemed like they wanted to give the killer's son a hug. He slowly went to his father and nuzzled up against his legs, tears flowing from his eyes.

Unfortunately, Holly wasn't able to smell the oncoming leopardess and the cubs over the scent of death and blood. Though, she would miss Tima, now she was under Alibaster's rule. She bowed her head at him, she would accept a friend becoming the leader, she wouldn't mind. Besides, he was part lion too.

Tau shrugged, frowning. "I'm not sure. But..." He frowned, glancing back at Astennu on his back. "Perhaps Khalfani should stay with the cubs." He reached back to gently grab the black cub in his teeth then set him down, smiling lovingly. "Alright, Astennu, Mommy and I are about to take our new home. I need you, Ambokile, and Adeleke to all cheer us on, okay? Don't get too close, but cheer us on. Can you do that?" He licked the top of his son's head, hoping he would listen.

Khalfani had been following behind slowly, head low. But when he noticed his mother speaking quietly to the lion he frowned in confusion, but didn't question them. It was obvious something was going on, or something was about to happen, but he didn't care what it was. He would help his mother in anyway. Especially since it seemed like his own son didn't want anything to do with him, so he didn't expect to be needed there. Sighing sadly at that thought, he tried to turn and smile at Ambokile on his back. "You want down, little brother?" He laid down so that the cub could get off if he wanted.

Astennu was playing in his father's wet mane when Tau's teeth caught him, the cub lifted and placed on the ground. He whimpered quietly, looking up to his father in confusion. But then his father explained what was going on, and with a lick to his head, Astennu nodded excitedly. "I can do that! Y-you'll do good, Daddy!" he cheered. Astennu was already cheering, and yet nothing was happening yet!

Baneth nodded at Tau's suggestion, glancing back to see her oldest son carrying Ambokile. "That would be best," she answered, turning to Khalfani. "Khal, dear, please keep watch of your siblings. Tau and I have some... business... to tend to," she said, giving the young leopard a wink.
Hearing Tau give the cubs some encouragement, Baneth did the same, grinning sweetly down to them all. "The more you cheer, the better Daddy and I will do! But you must stay with Khalfani, alright, my dears?" she added, glancing to Tau and giving his cheek a lick.

Adeleke looked very uncertain, frowning. She didn't like this. She was afraid something bad would happen. But as her parents told them all to cheer them on she smiled uncertainly, nodding. But before either of her parents could leave, she rushed forward and jumped onto her hind legs so that she could nuzzle each of their chins, saying to each of them, "I love you!" Once she had done that, she sat back down with the rest of her siblings, trying her best to give a brave smile. "You guys can do it! You guys are the strongest animals in the whole wide world!"

Khalfani nodded absently, as if he hadn't really heard what she had said. But he had, and he seemed to notice the reason behind her wink, because after a moment he said, "Alright. I'll be right here if you need me." He wasn't going to let anything to his mother. Even now, she was still everything to him. Still, he had to watch over his siblings for now, so he laid down and curled his body around them, forcing a smile. "Cheer them on, but make sure to stay right here, got it?"
