Welcome to Gaia! ::

It had only been a few days since he was here last. He hadn’t been too wounded the last time he had come a few bruises a little scuff here and there but they had warranted a couple of days licking his wounds while he stalked the border of the motou’jami feeling the sand between his toes and well just thinking.

He was determined to gain entry to the firekin yet his luck really wasn’t with him. He knew the fates were testing him and that was fine, he had to prove to the lady that he was worthy. The female destiny had decided would let him in to the pride was proving to be a tough customer, no less than he expected of this militaristic pride of course but he felt he had to fight her, he had to beat her to get in and so he had returned to the exact spot he had challenged her twice before though rather than roaring he called out for her “I’m looking for a fire angel have you seen her?” He smiled and waited, she would come, he was certain.

The pale male was happy to see her. So happy to hear his nickname, so happy she was there to fight him again, that he let his guard completely down so when she landed a massive hit on him he went down like a tonne of bricks.

“Ouch, and there wa some thinking you were happy to see me.” He grins struggling back to his paws and shaking his head to rid himself of the stars. His rather weak swipe at her missed by miles but at least he had managed to lift a paw. Was she getting more heavy pawed?

“I missed you too.” He chuckles bending to prepare himself for another attack.

He caught her look, but he also felt like she wasn’t going to back down. The female was so interesting. He caught the little smile but that smile, again, left him distracted. Though he was convinced that she was his way in to the pride he had a feeling that if he carried on this way he was never going to be able to beat her. She really was the most wonderful distraction.

His dodge seemingly worked but it left him a distance from the female, she was too far away to close any sort of distance and land a hit. Keeping his distance the pale lion let a small smile ris eon his maw. Maybe she was holding back a little? Maybe she wanted to see him enter the firekin after all? Maybe?

She seemed angry at him, he couldn’t really blame her, maybe he should have put off this challenge for a little longer. He was here already though so it was time to put the good foot forward. With a grumble he swiped at the female passing a glancing blow before stepping backwards hopefully out of her reach.

This fight was not going his way. He had hoped he would gain entry this time but it seemed, unless she truly faltered, he wasn’t going to have much luck this time either. The fates really were testing him!

That was certainly the last hit for him. The swipe across his jaw. His head snapped back swiftly. Shaking his head the pale lion blinked owlishly. She really wasn’t letting up on him. His determination was unweavering, however, he knew this was game over for him.

She had won again. Holding up a paw the fire maned male grinned and took a few steps backwards. “You got me lady.” He sighed, there were definitely stars before his eyes.

“I’ll be back, I promise.” He grinned backing up ever so slowly, he really wasn’t willing to turn his back on the female. At some time though, he would eventually beat the lady, she would let him in, she would.
