Characters Involved:
Cyrus, Adol. Barbary Lion; Prince of Tyne
Onaedo, Adult Lion; Lord of Tyne
Zuri, Adol. Barbary Lioness; Guest of Tyne
Summary: Cyrus finally snaps and attacks Onaedo; Zuri looks on later at a loss of what to do.
Onaedo has stayed in the Tree Grove over night, not much of a reason to leave after all. The still healing lion has taken resting under a large tree within its shadow as the sun is just high enough in the sky to cast its evil glare down over the grove. His head rests upon a large tree root while his forepaws are pulled closed to his chest, eyes closed he seems to be asleep. though with a few flys around his ears twitch now and then from there annoying buzzing. He still plans on speaking with his older brother about his dearest son, but as he has yet to see Elim it'll just have to wait. Though he has for sure not forgotten the night before, Cyrus actions have placed the nephew even lower on his list of family members he doesn't like, and after the comments about Kamau and Anasa it hasn't left him feeling any different about him.
He hadn't forgotten his 'uncle' either. After he'd left the barbary had staked out the tree grove, found a cozy place, and simply waited. Steele blue eyes peirce into the sunlit grove as the barbary, for as bulky as he is, stealthily closes in on his resting family member. Head level with his shoulders and shaggy mane shifting with his motions, the dark barbary barly moves a stitch of dirt as he closes the distance between him and Onaedo. As he nears, he pauses, Cyrus lifts one large paw and aims to cuff the lion right in the shoulder, "Goooood morning dearessst Uncle!" the barbary coos happily, "Rise and shine! I'm giving you a head start," his charming tone fades to a hiss, "Before I rip your limbs from your body one by one and watch you squirm."
Even though Cyrus had attempted to sneak into the grove, the young Lord caught the scent upon the inblowing breeze and was well aware of the other's approach. Though he didn't let him know it and just stayed how he was. The cuff is hit across his shoulder and in one simple movement he is sitting up to eye his dear nephew, a thin smirk crossing his maw. "Such big words from such a pitfully looking lion." He states with a thin tone. Head start nothing, as if Ona would go running from Cyrus.. HE took on two adult males at the same time so he feels no need to flee just because Cyrus is somewhat bigger then he. Onaedo isn't a small lion by any standers and he knows this. "What do you think your father will do when he finds out your trying to kill his brothers?"
Cyrus lets out a deep chuckle as he semi-circles Onaedo, "Ouuuch Onaedo. Careful, I'm fragile and that hurt.. a little." He scoffs and shakes his head slightly from side to side, "My father? My /father/? Do you really think I give a flying rats donkey what my /father/ thinks? As far as I'm concerned he's nothing more to me then a blemish on my family history, just like you and your pathetic brother. Besides.." he coos, "He's not going to find out I'm /trying/ to kill anyone, he's going to find out I did when he finds your mangled corpse thrown across the rivers bolders."
Onaedo smirks sightly, fangs slightly seen as he does so. "You have no idea what your talking about Cyrus." This stated with a simple matterohfact like tone while he stands up. His wounds are still healing, so his movements are somewhat stiff for the moment. "What did you parents ever do to cause these actions in you anyway? I always thought Kale was the one with issues in this family." "An.. if your SO eager to kill me you best get started, put your actions where your mouth is little boy."
The babary rummbles a growl through gritted teeth, "They didn't do a d**n thing," and with that the coiled muscles that had been so readily tences spring the barbary towards Onaedo with nothing but fangs and claws. His first launche is aimed to knock the other off his balance as he pushes away, circles along the outside and lunges in towards the others wounded sides with slashing teeth. Tail snaps from side to side as Cyrus reverses his attach and goes for the other side, large paws swinging in hopes of cracking the lord upside the skull.
Onaedo is confused by the answer, if they didn't do anything THEN why is he acting like /this/? His about to say something before the other comes flying towards him, he has enough sense to back up quickly and avoid the first attack by mere inches. A thick rumbling growl escapes him and he shifts to his side, taking the weight off his wounded side and shoves forward hard to try and slam his shoulder into Cyrus's muzzle as it goes to snap at his side. The hard hit to his head is taken, and for a moment his seeing stars until he lashes out with both forepaws, claws going to slash and rake into any part of Cyrus that he can get a hold of. So much for HEALING up so he and Kamau could go get Sunny back.
The barbary's teeth snap together roughly as Onaedo's shoulder hits his maw with a hard impact, jarring his head to the side. He takes a second to recover before lunging low at the lion again as he trys to regain himself from the hit to the head. He meets the claws of the other across his face, the bridge of his nose, and his shoulder only causing a furious roar to escape the barbary as he throws his weight fowards and attempts to bulldoze the other with as much force as he can manage. Large jaws snap at any part of Onaedo's neck and mane he can get ahold of, head furiously shaking, before he shifts quickly to the left and throws himself at the other once more, large paws lashing out to rip whatever peice of Onaedo's figure he can.
As Cyrus takes a few seconds to recover Onaedo takes the time to move away and get out in the open more, fighting near a tree isn't HELPFUL. Not that it takes Cyrus long to make up the distance and there both head to head once more. A thick snarling growl escapes him as his neck is grabbed, right where a wound just happens to be that was healing, the healing scab is easy enough to bite down upon and reopen the injury which causes even more pain to the lion. He lunges forward to slam his weight against Cyrus's chest and shoulder, his own jaws snapping out at the other's shoulder to try and grab some hold on him before he can get away from him again. Claws rip and scratch up his forelegs, and he uses one of his own forepaws to slam out at Cyru's chest, claws fully extend to cause as much damange as he can.
The prince clamps down on Onaedo's neck once he feels the hold as hard as possible, head furiously shaking from side to side. The lunge from the other rips his neck free from Cyrus' grasp and the male snarls in frustration and more anger then pain as Onaedo's jaws seer his shoulder and his claws rake across his chest. He pulls back and dodges to the right to slam his body weight against the other male, teeth snapping viciously at his side and hindquarters as he turns and goes for limbs. He pays no mind nor heed to the stinging of his wounds or the flow of blood across his face, instead he lets a somewhat maniacal laughter begin to seep from his throat here and there inbetween growls.
Onaedo is started to think he might have wanted to take that head start, he didn't think Cyrus was /this/ strong in a fight, and his wounds still healing from the last fight he was in doesn't help matter at ALL. He grimaces in pain as his neck is released and stumbles backwards as Cyrus slams his body into his. The lord falls back to his haunches so that Cyru's fangs snap and slice into his side, this makes his forepaws sweep outwards, one aiming for Cyru's eye and side of his face that is closer to him as the other goes for his limbs. A deep growl escapes him as he hears Cyrus laughing of all things, and he actually wonders if he'll get out of this fight alive..
Zuri is still acquainting herself with the Tyne lands. Her paw is still healing, but she is walking normally again. The former rogue's golden fur is now fluffy again, rather than matted. She is of course still on the thin side, especially for a barbary lioness. Still not used to so many other lions being around and unable to hunt yet the young lioness has wandered off, trying to familiarize herself with the land more. Or maybe, by some fate, find her sister. It's these wanderings that bring her to the tree grove. It's just inside she sees the two lions fighting. Zuri stops, just staring for the next few moments. She's new here and not knowing anyone, she doesn't know who she should be helping or if she should be helping at all.
A claw grazes the outside of his eye and down his cheek, while the others rip a wound into the side of his leg. He pushes on however as the taste of blood turns his eyesight crimson and the need to push on causes the male to drive his shoulder forcefully into the others chest in the hopes to continue his plumet to the ground, first haunches, then side, then Cyrus could go in for the kill. The thought of it throws the barbary male into a frenzy and Cyrus lets out a snarl as he continues to try and rip Onaedo into pieces.
Onaedo doesn't go down as easily as Cyrus had thought. His forepaws lashes out to try and grab hold of Cyrus around the neck or shoulders. He then pushes upwards and then forewards with his hind paws to shove his form back into the other lion's. He takes all slashes of claws and fangs doing this knowing its better then falling to his back. His claws go to dig into Cyrus's form along with his jaws snapping for some hold upon his neck/mane.
Zuri continues to stand and watch. This is...not good. Finally though she starts to back away, ready to turn and run and find help. Maybe Kamau since he would certainly know which lion to help. But when the lioness back ups, not ready to turn her back on the war lions just yet, her backside bumps into a tree. A yelp escapes her and she jumps forward, away from the tree that just poked her. Not that she is trying too, but she does make a considerable amount of noise.
The lion roars with anger as the other claws slice along his side and his teeth find a hold upon his mane and a portion of neck which promptly tares and rips off as he jerks away from the other with a violent tug, leaving a gaping wound. He circles around the outside, fangs bared and a snarl issued through bloodied teeth. The yelp however does infact draw his attention and Cyrus' ears twitch in the females direction, nostrils flaring however eyes never leave the opposing male. An infectious smile spreads across his crimson maw as the dark barbary chuckles very slowly, "Seems we have an audience. I wonder if she wants to be part of the show," he snarls darkly, tail snapping from side to side.
Onaedo grunts as he falls back onto his haunches, the bit of ripped out fur is spit out just as quickly while a deep snarl escapes him, his own bloody fangs bared while he clambers back up onto his paws and starts to move forward once more. Up until he hears the yelp and a glance is quickly offered towards Zuri, he has no idea who she is but hearing Cyrus he gets a bad feeling in his gut. "Leave her alone Cyrus." He says with a quick growl.. An before his nephew can answer the Lord lunges forward to attack the other's side. If he can get Cyrus's attention back on him then maybe the lioness can escape.. Well that's the plan at the moment.
Spotted. Zuri freezes again, but her gaze is trained on the two lions. She watches Onaedo a moment longer. She normally isn't the one to run from the fight, but then she doesn't know them. Nor does she have any idea about male lions. "Should I get someone?" she finally decides to ask, of either of them, keeping her distance.
Cyrus lets out a deep rummbling laugh before he sidesteps quickly to avoid Onaedo's lunge and slowly backs up, head low and a crooked fang showing smile sliding across his maw. He turns, and bolts directly for the lioness, ears flattened into the ranks of his mane. He doesn't attack her however, halting before he and staring her eye to eye. He reeks of blood, a strong stinging metallic smell, his breathing quick and sharp. Steele blue eyes tare into her before he scowls and utters a deep hissing, "I'll see you later..." The barbary turns and eyes Onaedo, ears twitching forwards, "I'm leaving you alive, as a presant to your brother. I'm sure I'll see you later.." he drawls casually, blood dripping from his nose and face. And with that, the barbary turns, ears flicking back to listen to Onaedo's movements, and he slowly lumbers away, tail twitching behind him.
Onaedo skids across the ground and turns about to follow after Cyrus as he chases forward towards Zuri. His steps a bit slower as he doesn't want to run into Zuri in the process. As Cyrus turns about once more he pauses, breathing heavily while his wounds bleed, once more he is a complete mess it would seem. The lord shakes his head while watching Cyrus leave, yes he is very sure they will run into each other again, and he knows it won't be as easy as it was today.
When Cyrus comes bolting for her Zuri still doesn't move. The lioness tenses through, only flinching as he stops in front of her. Her green eyes meet his blue, staring right back. She says nothing in response. She watches Cyrus leave before turning her attention to Onaedo. "Can I help?" she asks after a moment, her gaze washing over his wounds. Though the lioness looks a bit hesitant. Not hesitant to help, just unsure with both lions still being unknown.
Onaedo watches where Cyrus went a few moments long before he looks back to Zuri, eyeing her with a unsure look. "No.. I'll be alright." He says while turning and starts to slowly limp homwards. "Can't say I know who you are though.. You part of the pride now?" His tired and wants to rest, as it seems Cyrus is going to be out to really kill him he figures it would be best if he went back to the cave to warn the others on what's happend.
Without asking Zuri turns to walk back with Onaedo, though she keeps her distance. Her eyes stay on the lion as she walks, matching her pace to his. "I'm Zuri," she tells him. "Yes, I suppose. Kamau told me I could stay. "I didn't know who I was supposed to help," she apologizes tentatively, lowering her head a little as she walks.
[[ I promptly left for a nap right about here XD So whatever is left over should be posted after this; if there is any ]]
