Little Sun looked over in the distance. She saw a golden and black thing in a tree. It was far, but it might be a cheetah, judging by the chest and tail. She snorted, "Now what is a cheetah doing in a tr-" Little Sun stopped, seeing a dark gold and black mane in the grass below the tree. She headed back to her small territory, which was tiny compared to the lion's territory. But Little Sun couldn't help it. There were many other cheetahs, some more powerful than her. Then there were the powerhungry lions. She had decreased her territory until it was only 3 square miles. She sighed, and walked up an tree, which was sloped, and allowed her to climb (Sort of like the tree in Huskies-Eat-Ponies' pic).  She lay on one end, watching the cheetah in the tree leap over the lion and dash away.
  
 She then started to groom her own spotted pelt, until she heard a snarl behind her. She whipped around, her fur fluffed up. A lone lion was standing there, his mane shaggy and his ribs so visible you can count them. He growled, "Hand over the territory and I will not kill you!" Little Sun stood up on her small branch and stood tall, making her seem taller than lion, "You will have to get me first." The lion fell for the trap, and leapt at her. Little Sun turned and leapt off the other end, and ran around the tree twice before dashing about 60 feet away, then stopping. The lion, enraged by her move, ran at her, his teeth bared. Before he caught her Little Sun ran past him and behind him, attempting to bite his tail, hard. The lion roared in pain and attempted to rake his claws down her flank. She yipped in pain, and scuffed dust and dirt in his eyes. The lion winced and pawed his eyes for a good 30 seconds. By then Little Sun was back in her tipped over tree. The lion, done wiping his eyes, charged at her. Little Sun knew she couldn't keep running around him. The lion leapt...

The lion collided into Little Sun, and attempted to bite her neck. But Little Sun moved her head out of the way. She bit his front paws, biting each paw until he backed up enough that she had room to run. Then she ran in, the Lion was surprised at her sudden bravery. Little Sun had no claws, just nails. But anyway she raked them down the lion's eyes. He roared in pain, and ran off. Little Sun sighed, knowing it was pure luck that she could defeat a weak lion.

As he took a few swift pawsteps in a fast walk towards the river, a distinctive roar made Radi freeze. It was the roar of a lion- a nearby lion. A long string of curses and jumbled thoughts streamed through his mind, knowing if the lion noticed him, he was dead for sure- if it could catch him. He straightened and shot a gaze over his shoulder in the direction of the booming roar. Much to his relief, the lion was a good distance off, but something seemed to be antagonizing the roar from it. Curious, the cheetah hopped up onto the boulder he was previously resting on to get a better view, knowing the lion was distracted by something. To his surprise, he saw it was in fact a cheetah, doing rapid circles around a tree to get away. When the lion lashed out at it, only to eventually retreat, Radi's gaze centered back onto the panting, but alive cheetah. Instantly flooded with concern, he bolted over to the stranger. He knew how lion encounters could turn out, and that this female could be injured. "Holy crap! Are you alright?" He exclaimed loudly, skidding to a dust-spraying halt just in front of the female.

Kikji

A sudden roar made Kikji flinch, and she jerked her head up to see a male lion harassing a figure. Squinting, she could make out the faint figures of a cheetah - a young one, to be sure. She wasn't sure whether to go over and help, but it seemed like the cheetah had it under control. Amusement flickered through her eyes once more when the lion retreated, and she was about to hurry over when a male cheetah bursted into view. Her ears perked when he questioned if the cheetah was alright, and Kikji decided to listen from where she was standing. She was uncomfortable with interacting with other cheetahs, so she was glad for this opportunity. Glancing around, she rested her haunches near the antelope as she waited for the female's reply.

Matahari woke from her slumber as the sun shone onto her eye lids, a huff escaping her maw as she slowly lifted to her paws. Peering around for a moment she hung her head slow and her posture was slightly slouched; shaking her head her maw parted and a yawn escaped her maw. Then lifting to her paws she bowed slightly in order to stretch, the females tail flicked to and fro as she peered around the plains; straightening her posture. Her amber optics locking onto a few carcasses in the distance and judging by the way they were prancing around she assumed it was her of antelop. Hissing she lifted to her paws and trotted to a large boulder. Extending her long legs she leapt onto the stone and lowered to her rump, sighing she watched the herd prance around not to far away. Giving herself time to wake up she remained on the rock for a while; also in attempt to adjust to the sun as she had been sleeping in the shade.


Zuvan awoke from his slumber with a hiss the vaulchers in the skies cawing and flapping about. One seeming to bounce towards his thin body. Grunting he swiped his paw at the bird causing it to shriek and fly off. The golden feline rolled his eyes and let out a yawn, his small jaws parting as a yawn escaped. Sighing the brute lifted to his paws and shook any acces dust from his pelt. Peering around it seemed no one was around apart from few prey animals and the odd lone lion. Snarling he trotted to a near by river and crouched then dipping his head and bending his maw towards the water he began lapping up the cool liquid. Sighing in relief as he satisfied his thirst he drew back from the water and remained on his haunches for a while, his long, thick tail tapping against the ground.

Little Sun looked in the distance, watching the lion stumble away. She then looked at the male. Her flank was hurting, but no more major injuries, "Y-Yea I'm ok, just my flank hurts.." She moved to show him 4 dark red claw marks ripping her beautiful spotted coat. She looked back at him, "I'm ok other than that.. thank you.."

[Jackkdaw]

Radi swiveled his ears forward, eyeing the slash marks that tore the female's flank. "That's gonna leave one heck of a battle scar." He said with a a bit of a smirk, lashing his tail. "You sure did good chasin' that dumb lion away. I've never seen a cheetah stand up for themself like that. You've got guts." He exclaimed, giving her shoulder a light shove with his forepaw and chuckling. "Anyway, my name's Radi." The feline introduced, grinning at his new acquaintance.

Samba watched as cheetahs gathered to this particular area, and he cocked his head. He didn't feel to comfortable with all these cheetahs! It was rare to see this many cheetahs... But as he stood up, and was about to leave he saw another lion heading towards a cheetah on a loped branch. Samba snarled under his breath, flicking his tail annoyed. His chocolate eyes gazed at the pair as the lion leapt onto the cheetah, ripping its flank... Samba stood up tall, padding slowly towards the two. Once he was quite a close and far distance away, he stopped...

Soon, the lion ripped from the golden cheetah, roared and ran off. The lion was heading in his direction, so Samba moved to the side. It ran straight past him. He shrugged, and licked his pelt again. After, Samba stood up, ready to leave, but glanced at all the cheetahs in the area. One of the cheetahs went up to the one that was injured, and he flashed the red marks to the other cheetah. Samba caught the sight of it and winced himself, that would surely hurt.

Nzuri crouched low in the long grass as the male cheetah leaped over her with ease. She watched as he padded a short distance off towards another few cheetahs. She turned away from the gathering species and trotted over to the river that separated the land. She lapped up some of the life-sustaining liquid, her eyes staying focused on the water. A shadow loomed over her and she looked up in surprise to meet the gaze of an African elephant she moved aside respectfully and bowed her head, letting the bigger animal drink.

Nzuri padded over to her mound and sat down, basking in the morning sun. She turned away from the commotion and watched the sun slowly rise up from the horizon, a lion pride lay in the shade of a tree nearby but they didn't seem bothered by her presence. She purred gently in contempt, her tail flicking lazily.

Little Sun smiled, "Thanks. My name is Little Sun.. Nice to meet you Radi." She flicked her tail in greeting. In result, her flank hurt a bit. She winced in pain, but tried to hide it from the male. She then looked up at him, "So.. what are you doing on this side of the savannah?"

[sparticles]

Matahari peered around the savannah as many cheetahs continued to gather around not to far away, her tail flicking slightly as her sighs were locked onto the golden creatures. A small breeze blew through her fur for a split second then the sun continued to beam onto her pelt. She closed her eyes in relaxation for a few seconds then opened them again as she watched the crowd move, a small smile on her face as she remained on the boulder, pants escaping her maw and the faes tongue slightly hung from her mouth.


Zuvan continued to lap up the cool liquid as two shadows peered over the thin creature, turning his head he glanced at a female cheetah then looking at a large african elephant that had placed itself beside him. Grunting he turned his focus back onto the river and continued to drink as the elephants trunk dipping into the water. Lifting to his long legs Zuvan whipped around and trotted off leaving the beast in peace, coming to a tipped over tree trunk he leapt onto it and padded along. Then lowering himself to his stomach he peered over at a near by lion pride and let out a growl, but deciding not the cause a scene he closed his eyes; basking in the sun.
