[PRP] Official introduction

[Pandorus Sphinx]

Green eyes searched the lands as the disfigured lioness made her way deeper into the pride, with her divine sister in toe. The pair had spent the better part of the day hunting, often times Xibalba visited to make sure Maya was well here in her new home, and partly because she wasn't ready to let her sister go... not completely anyway. The Goddess had her doubts and worries, even if these were mortal affairs she would include herself if it meant Maya was involved.

She still felt responsible for her younger sibling, so she would shadow her, keeping a close eye on things until she felt Maya was ready to be on her own. (Or maybe it was the other way around?)

Slowly the pair came to a stand still as Maya glanced back at Xibalba, speaking just loud enough for her to hear, "Stop - hide yourself, someone is coming." The Goddess had been walking around in full view for the world to see, with little thought to who might have noticed her true nature, this worried Maya and to a degree caused her to resent the dark Goddess. Still, if she was going to wander around these parts she needed to be more self aware, so at her sisters request the Goddess shifted her form, cloaking herself in her mortal skin.

"Better?" Xibalba snapped as her eyes narrowed in Maya's direction.

"Yes." her reply was swift and firm as green eyes glanced forward. The sound of foot steps could be heard as the two females waited to see who it was that was heading toward them.

The bands were beginning to return and with them came a number of new faces. With their return prompted the reigniting of his rule and what it meant, meaning some of them were impacted by the changes. Some were reasonable, but others felt compelled to curse him. Still he felt no different than the way he had the day he addressed the pride.

And why should he?

What disturbed him the most these days were the distinct mess his den was in, and a number of presences that he hadn't been sure of before he left let alone now. It was one of those presences that lead him to this particular part of the pride. For the most part he left it untravelled, there was no need, but the whispers he'd heard were unusual enough to warrant a visit.

The day had been rather busy and so he was slow moving. Once off the beaten path he discovered the rest of the area to be almost serene. Another oddity for the Stronghold. In his considerations of the odd and serene he spied someone who could have possibly bore witness to the sighting. What caught his view were a pair of lionesses, innocent enough, and casually taking a stroll to boot.

"Excuse me." His typical 'daughters of the storm' did not follow. There was something different about these two, perhaps not born of the Storm? Instead they could have earned their way, wrestled with a foe or two. The one lioness looked worn, not just tired, but physically battered and it made him feel better about his questioning them.

"Have you seen anything strange around here?"

Lacking an introduction, Ushindi dove right into business.
