The Wastes DenAfter a long journey, you have arrived at Coy Fish's pridelands. The earth is dry and cracked, only a small stream trickling through. There are many caves, most of them looking clean and flourishing with moss and small rivulets of water from underground rivers. In one cave you see primal lions tussle and wrestle each other playfully. Another makes your head spin as these lions are all piebald and patched variants and their stripes seem to almost swirl as they weave around each other. However, you notice that there is one den that is unkempt and filthy. Here, cubs cough and scatter at the sight of anyone else. They are all muddy and skinny. There is no denmother within this cave, only small cubs and adols just learning how to use their long legs. If you ask one of the older cubs where their denmother is, they cry and mention someone called Moogly. A loving soul who they wish could have lived forever. A cool breeze runs across your back and you catch a glimpse of an apparition. It looks like a battered lioness with hazy wings and glowing eyes. It seems to mouth something to you. "Please, help me save them." _____ Some ground rules/expectations:I prefer responses to be done in an RP form! If you have cubs you cannot care for, I will also take them, but I do prefer giving them away. Any cubs I receive will be available for adoption unless they are used for the enclave quests. Once a lion hits a year old, they will be killed if they haven't been claimed. All cubs are named based upon the rarity of their base, their eye color, the mane type, mane color, and fertility. So, for example, C|Green|Razor|Elysian|↖️ means Common base, green eyes, razor mane, Elysian mane color, and Good Fertility To claim a cub, at the end of your response put their link like so (all you have to do is remove the asterisks); <*a href="LINKHERE">words/name/adjective<*/a> the words/name/adjective can be whatever you want! Before sending over cubs, I will give them a random name so I am sure to send you the right ones! Please don't think you have to keep the names and change them however you see fit! I don't reserve cubs/adols or take requests to send them when they hit a year old. Either send me a link to claim one now, or hope someone else gets them lmao I only take cubs that are not 2 years old! The oldest I will take is 1 year and 10 months. Please wait for me to respond in the Forum before sending them over as well ![]() Some Other Links: RP Forum based on the interactions on this forum! ![]() Edited on 07/08/22 @ 19:49:48 by Mutated Mongoose|They/Them (#258174) |

A deep silver and ivory ferus walks into Moogly's cave. His celestial wings droop, and wrinkles line his face. This old king walks slowly but surely, as if he has been here before. His paws pads halt as he enters the den. Expecting bustling, though hungry, cubs to cover every corner, his lips part when there is but a single lone lioness in the den. He steps towards her. "Moogly, is- what's going on here? I expected to visit and see if there were any cubs I could take... I am dying soon, and wanted to help one last time. But I don't see any cubs here!" He lifts is grizzled muzzle and sniffs the air, leaning towards the cave entrance to try for a better scent. "...I don't know if there are any cubs about at all!" His brow is furrowed, and seems deeply concerned. The lion looks prepared to hear the worst. ![]() |

Moogly takes a deep breath, "Most were saved, praise to whatever may look down upon us." Her smile wavers, "But plenty more were old enough for Coy when he checked on the den." Tears roll down her face and she hiccups back a sob. Her body is lined in fresh scars and gangrenous wounds. "I, I couldn't save them." She lays her head down upon her battered paws and sniffles sadly, "I'm not, not st-strong enough." ![]() |

The larger lion hushes softly, sitting beside Moogly and reaching out a soft arm in an offer of comfort. If she takes it, he pulls her closer and gently leans his chin atop her head, stroking her arm. "Shhhh, I know." He takes a few breaths to think of what to say as Moogly still sniffles. "No lion should have to go through what you do. I'm sure you're tired of hearing this from all sorts of strangers that come through here, but you have a greater strength than all others in this pride in your caring. I know how hard, impossible even, going through all this has been, but you've made so many lives better by doing so. "Any lives that came through this cave brightened because they knew you had love for them, no matter how short their lives may have been." The ferus pulls away and lowers his head, looking into Moogly's eyes while giving her space. "Now, I'm afraid you must forgive an old man's rambling. But know this: every poor cub that comes through this place is given a loving family. Even the ones lost today, lost years ago, have their whispers cared for beyond where we are know. Each king spends time with gods, time in celestial planes, enough to know this to be true. Endless broodmothers to shower these cubs with more love than you and I can even imagine. This does not take away from the pain, and I'm sure it is hopeless information to you. But I do hope that you may find peace, or comfort, from this idea in some distant future. You have done so much, and seeing you this way breaks my heart. Don't beat yourself up while the rest of the world is doing it for you. Countless lives have been helped, even saved, by what you do here. You have done so much." Dara Ghrian, you believe he said last time he was here, doesn't make a move to leave until Moogly is comforted. ![]() |

Moogly sniffles, holding back tears. But when he begins his 'old man ramblings', she can hold back no longer. She cries heartily into his mane as she hugs him, sobbing out all her frustrations and anguish that she has kept hidden from the cubs in her care. Then mention of whispers and endless love is what truly gets her. The idea that, even after death, the cubs will always be loved and cared for is enough to send her over the edge. When she is finally done and calm, she feels lighter than she ever had before. Her breathing is still shaky and tears still run down her face, but she looks up at Dara Ghrian and smiles shakily. "I think," She starts, voice husky and cracked, "I needed to hear that." She moves to press her forehead against his as she breathes deeply and calms down, "I wish you nothing but Shade and Sweetwater for you and yours." She leans against him and begins to almost purr. When was the last time she had purred from true contentment? She hasn't felt this peaceful in eons. She could finally let herself feel every true and raw emotion. ![]() |

Dara Ghrian gives a deep throaty rumble of a purr. He stays silent and holds her close for as long as Moogly needs. Eventually, he breaks away. "This may be the last time I see you, though I hope our whispers do meet again. Your strength, Moogly, comes from your love and your endurance, not how sharp your claws are or how many bones you break." Both of the lions breathe steadily now, sniffling becoming fewer and farther in-between. The gray ferus heads towards the mouth of the den, and looks back. "I am retiring tomorrow. I am very fortunate, for this is a thing to be celebrated. My heir is well informed of this place and will most certainly visit. Of course, I must apologize for her sass beforehand," He huffs a laugh, before turning more serious. "You have saved so many, and made a great impression to prides around you for your selflessness. I know that when I meet a particularly giving pride I point them in your direction for this reason. If you ever feel pain such as this again, I must implore you to remember all of the lives that you have saved here." Dara Ghrian lowers his head and blinks slowly, before turning to pad away. ![]() |

Moogly nods, her tears have run dry and her anguish has subsided. She hums softly at his words, realizing just how caught up on brute strength she was. "I hope your retirement is a week long of feasts and celebrations." She smiles at him, longing for a life where she too could retire in peace without worries. "I hope to still be here when she does visit." She looks a bit sad, "Coy has been bringing in plenty of lone lionesses, so I expect a boom in cubs here in just a few days time. But I know that I will do my best to give them the life they deserve." She stared intently at Dara Ghrian. "Dara," She chuffed, "My whisper shall be relentless in its search for yours, my dear friend." She bowed her head as her heart skipped a beat. It had been so long since she had felt joy and companionship from someone. ![]() |

A mutie patched frontal male padded into the den with 2 small male lion cubs, "Hello I am King Astral, the new ruler of Scouts pride.. I think you may remember him? well these two cublins are Fumiya and Waki.. also I've brought some lionesses who wish to see you." he moved away for three lionesses to pad up, "Hello Moogly I know its been awhile but we thank you for keeping us here when we were cubs, the ways of the new pride our names have changed but we were known as Libra, Gemini, and Leo... We hope you remember us." The lioness that was talking you could tell use to be Libra, she seemed well mannered and well fed and groomed before she said, "I have cubs of my own now and so do the other two here.. we are so happy to see you after so long..." ![]() |

Suma walked curiously into the den wondering where all the sad mews were coming from, he quickly found all the scared cubs hiding under a lioness who looked abused and starved. He asked if he could take the silver and brown cub off of the lioness paws since he did not see their mothers nearby. https://www.lioden.com/lion.php?id=794166462572 ![]() |

Moogly had to squint to make out Astra's blurry shape. Her eyesight was getting worse and leaving her faster with each passing day. She cuddled the cubs close and sniffed at the lionesses that had come to visit her, purring when she recognized their scents. "Describe yourselves to me, my cubs, I want to hear about your new lives!" She chuffed, nudging and grooming them when she could find them. Everything was so hazy and distorted in her eyes. She was woken from a brief nap by heavy pawsteps. It couldn't have been Coy as he would make sure his presence was well known. She huffed and squinted, barely able to discern the lion from the scenery around them. She held out a paw, and the cub in question ran up to whisper something to Moogly. She chuckled before looking back towards Suma and nodding. ![]() |

Before leaving with his new cub he thanked the lioness and wished her well. He also said to the lioness that whoever is doing this to her should be punished for all of the cruel things he is doing to her and the cubs. ![]() |

GoldBlood walked to the den he walked to before, without the usual bounce in his step. He looked around seeing all the cubs, fining two little males playing together. He plays with all the cubs and grooms them knowing their caretaker wouldn't show up magically, but he still wanted her permission to take two with him. Eventually he got up bringing the cub and adolescent with him, looking back with sympathy at the others and left. ______________________________________________________ https://www.lioden.com/lion.php?id=794166462553 https://www.lioden.com/lion.php?id=794166462553 ![]() |

Fresh Snow walked into the den and took a quick look around. When she didn't see Moogly, her stomach dropped. She knew Moogly was getting older and she was always sickly looking. She looked around at all the cubs in pity and she sniffled. Grassy Fields walked into the den quietly Fresh Snow looked over at her and shook her head. Grassy Fields froze and took a couple of steps back. Even if she didn't see her all the time, that was still her mother. Grassy fields sat down caught in her own grief. Fresh Snow looked around the den deciding on a couple of cubs to take home. She noticed three cubs laying in a corner, their extremely tiny malnourished bodies breathing shallowly. When she walked over one cub raised her head and blinked up at her. The lioness leaned down and licked the cubs forehead. The other two cubs couldn't lift their head. Fresh Snow curled up beside them and groomed them worriedly. Grassy Fields came over and laid down on the ground close to the group. A few minutes later the other cubs and adols came to lay close to them. They happily licked and nuzzled them with no complaint. Fresh Snow didn't want to leave without Mooglys consent. They all stayed there for hours on end. ![]() |

Suma padded in looking for cubs/ados to add to his quiet pride to make it a little more exciting, he sees an abused lioness and a whole bunch of cubs. "Am I able to take the one over in the corner?" Suma asks the lioness. https://www.lioden.com/lion.php?id=794166649697 ![]() Edited on 09/08/22 @ 12:56:10 by Punkin (#308941) |
