a cream and white lioness with three large gashes on her side padded into the den. "hello, my name is Zetu. this is Cagalli." she nodded towards the blue-eyed cub that was staring curiously at the broodmothers. "someone left her on our territory and one of our hunters found her. do you have room for her?" she asked, tilting her head. "oh— and while im around! may i take a look at your adoptable cubs?'

Tora, a scarred brown lioness, padded into the den holding an orange cub in her mouth. she carefully dropped the cub onto the den floor and nodded towards the broodmothers. "hello, this is Amaali. unfortunately Atropa has sent me to drop her off, she doesn't exactly... fit in..?..with our pride." she looked sadly at the younger lioness. "to his standards, at least." she added angrily under her breath. "do you have space for her?"

Kuchomwa purred. “Of course!” She began heading towards a nest in the back of the cave before turning back towards the cub. “Follow me, little one.”

Angelic walks into the cave, her steps almost as heavy as her heart. She is carrying one cub while another trots beside her. The bluer cub has an excited look, obviously not understanding what is happening. The Harlequin piebald stops near a broodmother and sits, placing the darker cub down. "Hello, I am Angelic. I was sent by King Vulkyn and Queen Byronette to...to deliver these Cubs. This is supposed to be my first mission..." her stoic expression breaks as tears form in her eyes, "...they said it would be hard, b-but I never envisioned this!" She brings her attention to the two cubs, her head pointing to the darker one with the splash of white. "This one is Flames, " she moves her head to the blue-tinted one, "and this is Orchids. Both of them have amazing spirit and strength. I should know, I helped raise them..." Angelic clears her throat, trying to regain some composure, then locks her gaze with the broodmother in front of her. "By request of King Vulkyn of the Pride of the Pyre, will you accept these Cubs?"

Elias was the new king. He grew up strong, brawny, and with a sense of justice. He'd witnessed the cruel things the former king, Askala, had done. Askala was a vain, ruthless king who ruled with an iron paw. Those who didn't fit his standards were killed, the same treatment even applied to the cubs. Elias himself suffered from rigorous training and an overwhelming amount of brawls with his peer adolescents to prepare for when he would finally be king. He was the heir from the start, due to his Smilus heritage. His was the object of envy from his younger peers. These same lions were more than upset once Elias inherited the throne. They both plotted to overthrow him, but Elias stopped them in their tracks. Though they wished to kill him, he looked upon them with mercy. Instead of death, he sentenced them to exile.

Elias took up the front with the two disgraced adolescents trailing behind the smilus. He approached a broodmother with a sorrowful, yet determined look on his face. "Do you think you could take these two in?" He was referring to Elio and Kush, who looked like they were about ready to murder someone. "They've had some.. behavioral issues. You may need to watch out for that."

The female broodmother looked to the cubs and nodded. "Of course! I can make sure they will be watched!" The female said with a small reassuring smile to the adolescents. "Come along young ones, I'll show you to your temporary homes." She murmured as she led them to the shelter.

a large, scarred adolescent padded into the den, three cubs trailing behind the primal. he dipped his head to the broodmothers. "hello, my name is Paradox." he gestured for the cubs to step forward, and they did. "this is Rhaegar, Raeha, Kitatu, and Farren." he stepped closer, obviously not wanting the cubs to hear his next words. "Atropa wishes to not have them in our pride any longer, unfortunately. can you take them?" he stepped back, twitching his ears nervously.

"ill be leaving now, thank you. again." he padded off, leaving his former pridemates behind in the den.

Leopardspot walked into the den herding a group of 12 adols and cubs. “Hello, I have come to deliver these cubs,” she said. “Unfortunately, my kings adoption shelter isn’t running as smoothly as he would like it to be and we need to leave them somewhere. Would you take them?”

It was with a heavy heart that Aria entered the cave followed by 7 of her prides cubs and adols. Insisting to the king that she should take them the oldest broodmother walked up to a lioness she hoped would help. “I’m sorry to bother, but I must ask if I can leave these young ones in your care? I’d rather see them in good homes then my king chasing them off”
