n, EMPRESS OF IGNIS EMPIREPLAYED BY KARASU


Dried grasses crackled beneath her paws as the dark lioness transversed the steppe, paws stepped over the random stone that appeared, causing the landscape to seem uneven and jagged. The wind blew at her long fur, not biting but still rather persistent, blowing bits of stray plant debris every which way. In the distance a herd of gazelle grazed, nervously glancing up at the lioness in their sites- but she had no interest in them, the antelope much too fast for a lioness. No, the goddess had something else in mind as she approached a rotting Baobab. The thing looked pitiful, but all around it mandrills picked and groomed eachother. They came here once in a while, the colony ever traveling, but here was where they came to begin raising their young. Tired females, and young gathered at the base of the tree, males outside of their circle- watching for danger. Most prominent was their dominant male, his face wide and violently scarred. She would not be taking any of these lives though, as much as she would love to, for the younger monkies were far too violent and dangerous for one lioness- massive in size or not. No, the ember gaze was set on an elderly male, likely the dominant before his younger counterpart, still large in size but graying. There wasnt much cover, her only chance was offense and violent measures. And so those are what she took. She rushed in suddenly after circling twice, all the mandrills yellow and green eyes following her with increasing aggression, growls and screams from their depths. Jaws closed around the elder's neck, the creature giving out a single, angry scream before his neck snapped in her jaws and she ran, snarling at the feeling of long inscicors slicing into her hind quarters- pain not slowing her much as she kicked whatever soldier had bitten into her thigh. She slowed to a stop only once she was far from the colony, now with a slight limp, but it would do. She settled down, wasting no time shredding into her kill.

The last thing the goddess expected was to see the face of a starry child poke from the grass. She didn't snarl defensively- after all, it was a small child, the worst she could do is try to guilt trip food off her- like Fenella. "Are you lost?" she asked, an eyebrow quirked. She didn't see another lion nearby. Maybe her guardian was hunting..... Maybe not.
