It seemed almost a lifetime ago that they agreed to find a home for themselves, yet despite that agreement they stayed on in the roguelands, moving along without any real direction and following one rumor after another about potential prides here and there and ultimately coming upon nothing. In fact that was how they found themselves skirting the base of a cliff, just on some rumor that someone told them at watering hole...so there they were. Or at least there he was; Lin was still back where they had settled the night prior, saying she would stay behind just in case he had no luck.

"Finally..." Tai muttered, though, minding his steps as he moved along the rocks. His luck seemed to change as he spotted a lion some distance away. By his experience sneaking up on unknowing strangers was never a good idea, so when he was close enough he roared to make his presence known.

Ciro'mekaitso had been resting near the borders. After finishing a rather daunting raid, the lion found himself staying at home, something that was rather unusual for the reaver. It was okay, he needed the time off. He wanted to get to know this bird familiar he had found months previously, and now that her wing seemed to be getting better it was the perfect time.

She, however, seemed to have other plans. She talked to the male occasionally, but still did not leave the comforts of the shared den. Ciro shrugged the interaction off, not knowing how birds normally behaved. He'd have to ask Njia, if he ever saw the purple lass again.

His ears perked forward, hearing the roar. A challenger? The last duel he did with Calypso he was the victor. He was curious to see who now was challenging the lions. Rising to his feet, Ciro trotted out, meeting the call. "You wish to challenge the Stormborn?" The male asked, catching sight of the other lion.

"Well then challenger, show me what you got?" Ciro never made the first move.

Tai raised a curious brow, unsure how he felt with the terminology the other lion used. Truth be told he wasn't too sure what he'd just walked into, but considering the word "challenge" was used he could only assume he meant a duel of...some kind. He was one more inclined to peaceful discussion and potential debate, but if this was what it would take to call the...Stormborn...lands his new home, then he would rise to that challenge.

"I do," he nodded, picking up his pace until he was going at a full charge toward the dark form just ahead. He kept his attention split between his target and the terrain. The latter was unfamiliar but Tai wasn't incapable of adapting to it, so he hopped on a sizable boulder and leapt at his opponent, claws aimed straight for the face.

Ciro watched as the male chose his options. He assessed what the lion did. Using the high approach? Interesting the Reaver thought to himself. The dark lion did not have time to ponder the moves, as he found the clawed form aiming right to him. Moving quickly to avoid a scratch to his face, Ciro scrambled forward, feeling the talon-like claws hit his hide.

Use to the feeling of these little skirmishes, Ciro did not let the mark bother him. Instead, he pivoted quickly on his hind end, using his front half to slam into the male.

Unlike Ciro, Tai wasn't too used to fighting so when the other slammed into him he reeled at bit at the impact. Knowing he couldn't let it faze him for too long, though, he forced himself to refocus. Growling, the male bared his teeth as he let his claws fly again, aiming...for just about anything he could hit. Experience was clearly not on his side, but he knew he had to try his hardest for his family's sake.

He could think on what kind of life he and Lin would be taking on if they needed to fight their way into a pride.

Ciro was impressed to say the least. When the lion recovered from his body slam, and quickly reacted against it with his claws, the Reaver found the claws hitting his shoulder. The one thing he noticed was the weakness of the force behind the strike. As the claws left his skin, Ciro side-stepped, golden eyes reflecting in the little sunlight. They narrowed slightly as he began to speak.

"Put more force if your throws if you want to prove yourself." Already though the dark lion figured this male could be a good candidate for the pride, but he needed to see a few more attacks before he either chased the male out for good, or welcomed him to the lands and would bring him to the new Warlord.

"If you want to stay, give me everything you got," Ciro taunted, launching again for the male, this time his teeth aiming for his neck.

Tai narrowed his eyes at the dark lion before him, unsure whether or not his pushing him to fight harder was just something that was taught in the pride. The harder the fighter, the more welcome they would be into the pride. Which was fine with him--it meant a safe home for his family, at the very least, though he would have to find ways to weave the way of life--the way of peace--that he knew before coming here into the way he raised his cubs.

The lion's words sparked something within him though, a more aggressive side to himself that he had no real idea even existed. And as the male came at him again instead of completely dodging out of the way he maneuvered himself in such a way that he felt the male's teeth dig into his shoulder. With his free claw he aimed a hard strike at his underbelly, his roaring now a mix of anger and agony as he felt warmth dripping down his leg.

Ciro made a big 'omph' as a paw collided with the soft part of his underbelly. You see, this was the reason he hated dueling. To him, this was almost a cheap shot. But it was something a Viking would sometimes need to do in order to win.

The dark lion approved. So much, that when he stumbled to the ground, he held up a paw to end the battle. "I've seen enough." He huffed, regaining the wind that had been knocked out of him. "You definitely have the strength and wit of a warrior. If you choose, I will escort you to our War Lord. You have gained my respect as a Reaver, and I will vouch for your strength." Ciro commented, slowly rising to his feet. Man, a blow to his belly hurt.

"Do you agree?"

Tai had tensed up quite a bit, eyes narrowed as he tried to process the unfamiliarity of excruciating pain and what his next move might be and how fast he had to act so he wouldn't get pinned down or seriously wounded, but when the dark male held up that paw Tai could only blink and try to process that on top of everything else. Was it a trick? Some kind of tactic? He stepped back in defense as Ciro huffed, he himself fighting to catch his breath.

Though he very visibly relaxed as soon as Ciro began to speak and explain himself, giving his approval. "I agree, and I accept that offer," he said, stepping toward the other once he was finally back on his feet. "I have a mate, though, waiting for my return. Would I be able to bring her here once I've met with your Warlord?"

He looked hopeful, if quite a bit in pain--he was keeping as much weight as he could off of the shoulder that Ciro had bitten into.

Gold colored eyes glanced at the wound, and the lion not bearing his weight as well on it. "There are those specialized in herbs in the pride that can look at that. But, I would advise to not show your pain from such an injury. I'll let it slide, as you are probably not use to our lifestyle, though others in the pride can sniff out such weakness and use it to their advantage." The male stated, walking ahead of the other, expecting him to follow.

"What's your name?" He'd need it to introduce the lion to the warlord.

"She too would need to go through the same process of joining. She will challenge, and need to prove her strength just as you have." He paused, thinking. "If she doesn't pass, she will be run off or taken as a thrall." Ciro gave a sideways glanced at the male. "We don't go easy based on gender, I might add." He told the other, continuing well into the pridelands.

The warning had the gray male straighten himself out, forcing his expression to neutrality despite the pain coming from his shoulder. If weakness was an issue, he could control himself enough to not show any. Or at least he would rather believe he could and try his damndest, especially if it meant his family would be left alone. Tai followed after Ciro as soon as he started to move, and he stayed mindful of the surroundings so he could find his way back down once this introduction was complete.

"Tai'li, or otherwise just Tai," he replied, and then listened and nodded along as the other male went on to explain the challenge that would be ahead for Aelin. He didn't let his disappointment or worry show, though he did feel confident enough that she would manage just fine on her own. He considered his words for a moment, and then nodded.

"Whatever it takes for us to settle into a new home," was what he finally said.

Fin!


Ciro could not help but smirk as the lion seemed to straighten up rather quickly. Smart kid. he thought to himself, his head bobbing in approval. He turned his gaze forward, knowing the lion wasn't giving a weakened appearance anymore.

"Well, Tai'li," Ciro would use the formal name until he knew someone a bit more comfortably. "Welcome to the Myrsky Syntynyt lands." He left off his introduction, feeling as if the situation did not warrant his name. Tai could ask for it when he settled more in the pride, as long as their paths crossed again.
