Hear My Whispers In The Dark

Name: Zeus
Age: 4 seasons
Gender: Male
Appearance: Zeus has a large, muscular exterior. He has a thick onyx-colored mane. His eyes are striking ice-colored blue. His pelt his prune with stripes of black running through to make a handsome blend. His has a long scar down his left eye, topping off his grizzly look.
Personality: Zeus is a judgmental bastard. It's the truth. Even though everyone else believes it, he can't bring himself to understand it. If someone dared to say it to his face, well they would be resting with their eyeballs out of their sockets. He is skilled but chooses to let the females do the fighting as well as the hunting. He uses the females for one purpose only. As soon as they go into heat, they are knocked up by the king only to watch their daughters getting their throats ripped out by their own father. He is a ruthless and barbaric lion. Period.
History: His history his vague, due to little information. The majority of the pride know that their ruthless king was born on a cliff that his mother tried to throw him off of.

Name: Corintha
Age: 3
Gender: Female
Appearance: Corintha is a small lioness, with a rather petite frame to her, the base of her coat albino, and her eyes an icy blue. She is on the thinner side of her age, standing shorter than most other females, and has scars over her back, and one long scar over her eye, which the cause of is unknown. Her markings include light spotting on her legs, black in color, and onyx paws.
Personality: Corintha is the perfect lioness for someone who wants a limp, lifeless mate. She simply doesn't react to much, if anything. The only thing she seems to be relatively lively about is keeping cubs safe, but even that is rarely seen in her. Overall, she can be seen as very submissive, except if a cub is endangered. In which case, a fighting side of her is shown.
History: Her history is completely unknown to any members of the pride, at all. She has never told, and never plans too. Though, by the looks of her, she has bore cubs before. However, they are not with her now, and that's all that can be known. Also, something must have happened to make her stop talking. But, that's all just speculation....

Corintha sighed simply, her tail flicking as she stared across the dark terrain of the pridelands, her eyes flicking back and forth between the land and the watering hole. King Zeus had recently been caught by a pack of stray hyenas, and critically injured, despite his strength. None of the other females had been willing to lift a paw to help him, ready to see the king die, but for whatever reason, entirely her own, she had stepped in, and used her own knowledge of herbs to save him, keeping the infection of the wound down long enough for him to fight it off. Her ears were tucked downwards as she lay on a rock, eyes closed, waiting silently for if her leader called her.

Still sore from his run in with the hyenas, the big lion heaved himself to his paws and padded out of his small den. The lionesses lifted their heads as their king arrived, the majority of them with despair in their eyes. The rest had their heads bent together, whispering. "Arabella" Zeus called in a gruff, hard-as-stone voice. The brown lioness came hurrying over, head ducked. "Yes, sire?" the lioness asked, not looking up at the king. "When is Harlequin due for her next heat?" he demanded, eyes narrowed. "Two more days, sire" Arabella responded, ears pinned. "Good" Zeus growled, swatting the lioness. "You are dismissed" he grumbled, turned with a swish and retreating into his dark den.

He watched as Arabella raced to her sister, sobbing. The whites of Harlequin's eyes showed as she met Zeus's icy glare. Zeus gave her a wicked grin. 'Oh, this is going to be fun' he thought, chuckling.

Corintha watched the pride leader, no emotion in her eyes at all. No one knew when her next heat was, and no one also knew, that she knew how to hide the scent. But she couldn't help but roll it over her head, how disgusting this male was. Yet, this lionesses were so... disgraceful. If they wanted too, if they really all set their mind to it, they could go for him, while his strength wasn't all the way to the top, and end him. But were they? No. They're fear had broken them. Hah. Fear. It was one of the most complex emotions in the world, yet it was the simplist as well. And she also couldn't fathom, how breeding was still on that male's mind, after he had came so close to death that day. She simply came into the den, her tail swatting the wall, to let him know she was coming in, herbs in her mouth to put on his wound to help the infection sooth.

Licking a paw, the lion drew it over his ear. The other ear was chewed down to his eardrum. He could still hear out of the ear but not as well as he used to. "Greetings" Zeus said, dipping his head towards the lioness. The only reason he respected her was that she saved his life. Corintha. What a... unique name. Finding himself staring at her, the big shook his head, looking down at his massive paws. "How long do I have to put up with these herbs?" the lion grumbled, knowing that there would be no response from the suspected mute. Why can't she talk?

((So short :[))

Corintha seemed to ponder the question, and slapped her tail on the wall, seven times to be exact, signifying if her thoughts were correct, a week. She didn't dip her head back to him, because doing so would make her drop the herbs. She chewed them up in her mouth, approaching him, and simply licking his ear drum, the paste having coated her tongue, so it would cover the open wounds. She licked over most of his wounds, her tongue gentle and soft, much softer than most of the lionesses in the pride. She looked up, pushing one of the sweet herbs toward his muzzle, which was her way of saying, "Eat it." without the words.

(Nah. That's fine. xD)

Zeus sighed. He wouldn't be at his full health by the time he had to breed with Harlequin. The brute licked up the herbs, not meeting Corintha's gaze. He knew that there would always before disgust in her eyes when she looked at him. "Thanks" he grumbled, itching to get rid of the nasty smelling & feeling herbs. The only reason he wanted to get better was to watch the female cubs writhe under his paws in agony and suffering while their mothers screamed in fury & pain. He smirked at the thought of Arabella's last daughter.

Corintha felt the sick thoughts that were in his mind, shaking her head silently in disgust, turning away. *You are truly psychotic, with many problems in your sick little mind.* She thought silently as she waited for permission to leave the den, thinking silently to herself, trying to think carefully, and figure out what her next move was. She planned to dodge bearing cubs, well, at least her own cubs, anytime soon. She just turned away from him, licking her own paws, silent. She didn't even look at him. She wasn't like the others. She didn't seem to fear him. She didn't seem to feel anything. Not fear. Not anger. Just... This limpness, lifelessness.

Zeus

Zeus snapped, narrowing his eyes. "You can go" he said loudly, pinning his ears. No. Not ears. Ear. He stood and padded deeper into his den where he gnawed on an ancient zebra bone. His energy would be drained in two days so he decided to prepare himself. On a lioness who wasn't in heat. He would wait until nightfall to rouse that certain lioness.

Corintha sighed to himself as he padded out of his den, sighing as she retreated, leaving camp on the pretense of a herb run, going deep into the dry savannah, heading towards the jungle that was near by, not far, well at least not for her. She was skilled with finding her way around the savanna, and equally skilled at navigating herself through the biomes. She found the entrance to the jungle, and started looking for his herbs.

Zeus lifted his gaze when he saw Corintha leave camp.. 'Why are you waiting for her to leave, you idiot! Practice now!' he thought to himself, standing. "Seraphina!" the brute roared. The adolescent (oh geezus) scrambled into his den, scared. "Yes, my lord?" she asked, her bright green eyes staring up at her king. "Crouch" the lion ordered.. "But-" Seraphina started but was cut off as Zeus smacked her. "I said crouch!" the king demanded, curling his lip. The trembling adolescent obeyed, wincing as he grabbed her scruff and ::FADE:::


((Dun dun dun))

Corintha sighed simply as she collected the herbs, resting for a bit in the jungle, and coming back a few hours later, herbs in her mouth, and putting them in her rock, when she smelled his.... scent in his den, and another lioness.... But that was young. Not even... A full lioness. She almost gagged, growling to himself. Sick in the head. Yes, very sick in the head he was. Corintha growled, going into his den, flicking her tail against the wall, having his night dose of the herbs, her eyes clearly disgusted as she held the herbs in her mouth.

Zeus lifted his head, not meeting the lioness's eyes. Seraphina had gone running off, bleeding from the scratches he gave her along her ribcage. The brute heaved himself to his huge paws and stared down at the herbs. He had grown used to not bothering to socialize with this lioness. But Zeus couldn't resist looking up at her. Disgust was all he saw. "Don't look at me like that" he spat at her, hackles rising.

Corintha just continued to stare at him with the same disgust in her eyes that was there everytime she looked at him. *There is no other way to look at you* She thought, her glare just as intent as it had been before, and her breathing was heaved, ever so slightly, like she was trying to keep something caged. The lioness had just reached adolescance. No where near her first heat. *Nearly... A cub...* She thought, her nails digging into the rock beneath her, and amazingly, leaving dents when she released them, almost like a warning, her eyes dark, and wide, like she was threatening him.
