Nyx/ Afysi’s/ Frost


Nyx didn’t know if this pride was good or bad, she still wanted answers.
“What’s your name?” She asked cautiously. “If you tell me I’ll let you know who I am. and if you don’t tell me, I’ll just leave and we can both go our own ways and no one needs to know about this.” She said. Nyx was starting to get nervous from talking with this strange adolescent, she hoped they couldn’t tell.

Petra | Afyasi’s

She continued to stand there, alongside the other guards and Hyena, watching with distaste as the lioness in front of her stood, blood still dripping from her face, even the smallest hints of it still stuck to her, making it obvious of what she had done- the head laying on the ground, the unmoving body, the small puddle of blood, portrayed an image of death and murder. Petra felt an odd rush within her upon arriving to the scene. Although she no longer felt the same.. excitement when seeing blood spilt- it still sent a cold chill up her spine, a feeling of both distaste and horror overtaking her mind.

She felt as if everything she had left behind, before- the gore, fighting of it all, was now placed right in front of her, memories that she had all but forgotten were now rushing over her at the sight of the scene, which Petra knew better then to show what she was going through, instead mimicking the other lions expressions, staring at the lioness in front of her as Hyena ordered her to leave the pride. She shifted her position as the lioness stated her cause and reasons- feeling disgusted as she pleaded and begged, with the same mouth that still stunk of the metallic blood, the scent of death seemed to linger on her as fake, salty tears ran down her face.

Izel | Du den, Near pit |

Izel felt the cold chills and shivers run up her spine as she heard the yells and less-then quiet talkings of the lioness’s, and although unable to completely make out what they had been saying, she had an idea of what they were speaking so quickly and worriedly of, quietly pacing her breath as to not awake the cub beside her, steadying herself as she dragged herself out of the stiff nest, feeling herself shiver, realizing that the cool weather were to much for her to handle as she quickly made way to the pit, hiding the best she could as she listened to their bickering and chatter, her ear flickering as her teeth chattered from the mere winds.

Hyena|Afyasi

The miss sighed- looking tired as she exited the healers den. Glad that Domino hadn't seen the small scratches the old lioness had left on her arms. As she began to walk to the Advisors den, lions sheepishly padded out of her way- she felt bile rise in her throat at the sight, being reminded of the past. People still feared her as the cruel unforgiving guard and queen people made her out to be.. they had every right to as well, it wasn't like the things she had done in the past were wrong..

She looked around the pride, noticing that the altars were getting cluttered and dirty. Young lions lounging on them with no respect whatsoever. She frowned. She wasn't sure if Domino would ever be confident enough to become their priest.. she supposed she should start to look for one.

Though.. How many times do you come across a traveling healer? She knew the gods would grow agitated soon enough if they weren't tended to- but the rules state that only healers or priests may clean and tend to such things, otherwise she'd simply do it herself.

She spotted Petra near the old pit as she wandered, and took a spot near her to speak.

" Petra.. could you take some guards with you and see if there's anyone along the border? The traders have been getting lost." She commands her with a tired smile.

Petra | Afyasi

She felt sick-ish, unable to keep awake without being reminded of the past, the metallic smell of the cub’s blood still looming in the air, sticking to her presence as she tries escaping from it, seemingly nothing could get her away from the horrid stench of death that she was reminded of, every passing second. Petra sighed- her large body rising and lowering with her quick-paced breathes, as her gaze lingered on where the cubs and adols had sat and watched the fight. Although Petra remained unknowing of the entirety of what had gone on in the old, overused pit, scuff marks and remains of the past fights that went on, made it quite clear to Petra what had happened here before.

It, yet again, reminded her of her past. Not only had it brought up forgotten, locked away memories of her past pride and family, it struck up memories of her time in Sunbaked, as an adol. Petra shifted as she began to remember the thoughts, images of the past playing through her mind like a movie, scene by scene, as if it played in slow-motion- it came over her slow, fragments of what she had remembered. A vast field of empty grasslands, the grass long and short, dead and dry, a few large and small animals passing by, although rare. Besides this, the pride that lived on the lands continued to thrive, staying humble with themselves, continuing to live off of the few carcasses they could find during the long hunts that ran through the evenings to the late-nights.

The times the lioness’s would be gone, leaving only few males left to watch over the rest of the pride, is when the “ fights “ would happen. The lions and caretakers of the adols and cubs would bet on who would win for food, riches- anything they could get their hands on, they would trade and gamble away on who would win.

That was all Petra could remember of her past pride before Hyena interrupted her stir of thoughts, the large, dark-brown lioness turning to the advisor behind her, shaking her head along as Hyena spoke, although she remained absent-minded, trying to piece together the memories she had, or could remember. A sister named Kit, and a pride that seemed humble and tight-Knit, although truly was a place where lions were left to waste away with their addictions. Breaking out of her daze, only if momentarily, she gathered some guards, a lioness with a mutation similar to her own, another with over-grown claws, and one that seemed to have no visible mutation, at least not a very eye-catching, nor noticeable, one anyway. The lionesses seemed wary of her at first, although one seemed to warm up to her faster then the other two, following her orders as Petra guided them to the border, at least that area she remained familiar of.

Izel | Near pit, DU den |

She begins heaving as she breaths, her breaths raspy and croaky, she began looking haggard as she sat outside the den, shuffling with her leg and arm warmers, leaving her paws on the fur of the decor that tightly hugged the coldness of her body, hugging herself to warm her body, deciding to leave as she no longer heard any more of the lionesses chatter, having to wait in her huddled position, before taking her leave, slowly making her way back to the den, shuffling into the cool, stiff nest, and laying back down on it. Izel sighed, bringing her paws to the front of her mouth, and letting the small amount of warmth of her breath hit the numbness of her paws.

Aneesha | Afyasi

"Thank you for everything, I'm feeling better already," Aneesha softly said as she watched the tiny healer put salves on her scrapes and cuts.



It was mostly a one-sided conversation seeing as the healer didn't really speak or well told her he couldn't which she was fine with as she asked yes or no questions so he just have to nod or shake his head. She looked around mostly, seeing as she and panya had been separated momentarily to be treated. It felt stranger to her, to be free and be able to do whatever but not know what to do once you get to that point.



"D-do you think I can go find and check up on someone? He was injured quite a bit and I want to see if I can see his progress."

Bongo|Afyasi

Bongo tilts hishead- thinking to their current paients before covering one of his eyes with his paw, using his other one to point to his imitation.

He knew that the pit male was currently the only one who was missing an eye- hopefully he wasn't making a fool out of himself.

"Haha yes that's him, his name is panya and he's missing one of his eyes. A great imitation the best I've seen so far of him, do you think you can lead me towards his direction?"


Aneesha laughed at Bongo's imitation of panya, lightly clapping her paws together. Shed remember the games she and the girls would play when there was nothing to do, besides gossip.

Bongo+ Panya|Afyasi

He smiles nodding his head and standing to his stubby paws. He leads Aneesha to the back where Panya is resting, tired and cold from the lake water. He was covered in fluffy hides and placed in a very feather coated nest. He wakes up at the sight of Aneesha- smiling and reaching out a paw to invite her into the cozy nest.

Bongo leaves the two to cuddle and talk, closing the cloth curtain behind him.

Once Aneesha had snuggled in, Panya spoke in a calm tone.

" It's nice right? The bed I mean?" He chuckles- looking over to Havrick who wasn't too far away. He was sleeping soundly, wrapped in bandages and hiding.

" I feel kinda bad for what I did... Havricks a prick.. but he's still our age.. I feel like he's under a lot of pressure.." He sighs, fretting to himself.

Oddly enough, when panya raised his head to look over to the smilus, the bottom of his neck was ringed in newly grown silky fur black as the night itself. Before he was a pit male, his father was known for his stunning silky mane- it seemed now that Panya wasn't tearing at it all the time that it was starting to grow back in. He'd also take off his false claws, now only wearing the wrappings.

"Mmm it's very likely, I met his parents and they currently are..something. I only meet them one time before they sent us off. But it also isn't your fault, he should know what to say and what he shouldn't."



Aneesha whispered as she cuddle into the warm nest as the fluffy hides and feathers wrapped around her, wrapping her tail around panya's. Lightly leaning on panya's shoulder and neck she looked up when she felt something touch her nose, noticing the silky black mane growing out.



"Oh, that's new it's so soft! Didn't know you were going to grow it out."

Lady Hadleigh| Afyasi

Despite having been banished no more than an hour ago- the old lioness slunk back into the pride, hoping to steal some food before she set off to who knows where. She had managed to find a few table scraps before scampering off at the sight of a guard.

Her bleeding had stopped thankfully, but she still felt dizzy and weak- she started to walk by the pit before looking in to see a face she only had seen from the shadows.

She feels a wide grin spread across her face as she snakes down into the pit and speaks to the male from the darkness.

“ Alaric… son of Coy.. draw closer to me.. let me teach you the way he would have..” She calls to him in a hoarse voice, eyes shut still from the wounds on them.

Panya|Afyasi

“ H-Huh? Oh! Uh.. that’s new..” he runs a paw through it. He feels just a wee bit proud of his new mane, wondering how big it would get.

Havrick mumbles from the corner- sitting up at turning around- his eyes becoming enraged at the sight of Panya.

“ YOU!” He snarls- quickly attempting to launch himself at the two before hissing as he felt a pressure point in his neck twinge. He fell back into his nest, his body limp and weak.

Domino giggles behind him, having pinched the nerve before he could attack.

“ I love it when I get to do that” he admits mischievously

“ S-shut up! Y-You killed Jade! Your heartless!” He screeches towards Panya who frowns.. did he? Would none of this had happened had he ran away. He’s too shy to talk- only looking away in shame.

"You know you might be the strangest lion I've ever met, you really interesting!" Aneesha giggled as she watched Havrrick go limp into his own nest.


She held in the urge to poke him but with Harvick's little comment her smile dropped, lightly hitting the male with one of her paws. Stopping when she thought the male had enough before sitting between domino and panya, shaking her head.


"Panay didn't kill jade you...you, I can't think of an insult right now! Hadleigh is the one who killed jade, everyone saw it well except you I guess. How have you been?" she said to Harvick with a shake of her head like a mother scolding her cub.

Shiva | Somewhere | Callahan

Watching her brother pounce on the leaves as they walked past them made the leopard snicker. "I'm not really sure," Shiva says with a shrug. "This way looks interesting, though." The small leopard points her head in the direction of Afaysi's Oasis. She looks back at her brother, and starts to pad in that direction, carefully placing her paws in spots that had no thorns.

Frost | Afasysi's | Nyx

Frost huffed at the lioness; watching her shift her weight back and forth from the nerves was statisfying to say the least. "Now, dear stranger, you are on our lands; why should I tell you who I am before you tell me who you are? I'm not the one intruding," They growl while flexing their claws. Frost knows that if she has to, she will fight this strange lioness and bring her back to Hyena, she just hopes that it won't come to that. Hopefully, Hyena will just appear out of nowhere, but the advisor is a busy lioness.

Lily of the Valley | Afaysi's Oasis, DU Den, Near the Pit | Izel

Lily scampered off as soon as she could, pointless fighting like that grossed her out. Being back at the den with Izel was nice. It was quiet, but she also missed the jabber of the other girls. "Izel," She chirps. "How are you? I mean besides cold?" Lily comes up to sit next to the older adolescent.

Izel | Afyasi’s Oasis, Du Den | Lily of the Valley

Izel could feel a shift near her- a large surge of heat rushed through her as the adol sat next to her, shifting her position to grow closer to her- reveling in the warmth that came along with the presence of another lion, feeling herself heat up as she sat next too the other adol. “ Fine.. ,” she says, coldly, her voice sounding void of any of the warmth she were receiving from Lilly who continued to stay beside her. She soon realized how she had come off, shifting her position and changing how she appeared, trying to seem appreciative of Lily’s kindness, she didn’t want her to leave, she so desperately wanted her to stay beside her, to continue to revel and enjoy the warmth she was stripped of, before, now thriving in the small feeling she was given by the mere presence of another lion beside her.

No matter how small, she continued to be desperate for the feeling, deciding to talk once more to clear the tension between the two, once again comic closer to the other adol, giving her a small smile, even though faint, Izel had racked up all her pride to create the small expression.
“ T-Thank you for.. um.. asking! ,” she finds herself pausing within her words, some of her speaking coming out with a stutter, which she tried hiding with her fast-paced talking.
