Cappuccino watched as the large male walked up to her. She tried to stay calm and not defensive. These were supposed to be his cubs, afterall. At least, that's what she wanted him to think. Eros gazed at the quadruplets nestled into her side. "He does not look like me." Eros rumbled, bending down to sniff at the male. "Cubs sometimes don't look like their fathers." Cappuccino replied calmly. Eros glared at her. "If he is not mine...", "He is Eros, I assure you." There was silence for a few minutes, before Eros huffed, turning away. Cappuccino smirked at him as he left, and he did not see the smug look on her face. Eros had no idea of the sin Cappuccino had just committed, and of the treason she was about to enact.
Sylaris walked proudly over to Eros, his sisters behind him. Eros raised his head from where he was grooming a pridemate to watch the young male approach. "What do you want, runt?" He snarled. Sylaris narrowed his eyes. "Your throne." He snarled back. Eros laughed, standing up. "You? Defeat me? You're hardly grown yourself, and I am a full grown, healthy Smilus. How do you expect to defeat me?" He grinned wickedly. Sylaris growled slightly and roared. A challenge. Eros smirked and roared back, accepting the challenge. The two circled each other, the pride gathering to watch. "This will end swiftly. Maybe I'll even spare your life. You'll end up maimed either way." Eros purred. Sylaris didn't answer, merely lunged at the king, swiping his claws over his side. Eros roared angrily, swiping at Sylaris. He ducked, swiping at his chest as he dodged beneath him. Sylaris was smaller, and a lot lighter than the bulky smilus. As long as he played his cards right, this fight would go in his favor. Sylaris dodged another swipe, slashing at Eros's face. The king roared in anger, then roared again as one of Sylaris's sisters jumped on his back. Sylaris lunged, clawing at Eros's chest. Eros roared angrily, whacking Sylaris over the head. Sylaris stumbled back, his head ringing from the blow, as another of his sisters pounced at the king. He shook his head, then raced forward, slashing at Eros's face before he could attack his sisters. Eros roared, lunging at him, but once again Sylaris was faster, and soon he had the larger male pinned down. Eros stared up at him in horror, realizing what was about to happen. "No..." He whimpered, watching Sylaris raise his paw, claws unsheathed. "Please... spare me..." He whimpered. Sylaris gazed at him blankly, then his blank look turned into a cruel, angry one. "Did you spare my grandfather? My grandmother? I think not." He snarled before striking. He backed away, and it was silent for a few minutes before the roars began. First one, then two, then all, all of them claiming their new king.
