The smell of another male drifted to the King's nose. A growl was immediately issued. What was another male doing in his Kingdom? How dare he come into his lands without announcing himself! The tan male let out a booming, angry roar.
He had no idea who it was, but whoever it was... would suffer for his lack of respect.

Jager smirked. Finally, the old man came to play...He flicked his tail gently as he then searched for a place to hide. There was a pillar near to here in the shadows. He jumped it and ducked low looking through the crack in the structure. Jager would only announce himself when Mika'il appeared.
He began feeling strange...as if he had done this sort of thing before...why was everything here so familiar to him? He tried to erase his childhood memories from his mind...to painful. They were suddenly coming back to him, however.

Red nodded knowingly as the king gave an angry roar, "He should be coming soon..." he whispered to Kish'ya who only nodded in response. Something was definantly going on...

There! Sahkmet's course shifted accordingly as the sound of Mika'il's fierce roar reached her, an easy beacon to follow. It didn't take long to catch sight of him after that. "Father, I saw him! The intruder, " she said hurriedly, motioning back with a smooth bob of her head. "He stopped to settle in the ruins -- he can't have gotten far."

The Desert King had started to head out when his daughter found him. "He's in the ruins?" There were many places to hide, for himself and this other male. It would be dangerous if he didn't take the proper precautions. "Go find Kish'ya and Red, take them into the main cave."
There were no hiding places in the Main Cave. It was a vast, open room with a multitude of carvings and weird, faded pictures on the walls.
With his ears pricked, his nose searching for the males scent, eyes alert, he started out.

He waited...and waited. Jager was patient up to a point, but this was technically Mika'il's territory. He had to wait, play the male's game. His tail waved gently and rythmicly. The male's nose twitched at the scents coming to him. He concentrated on the King's not wanting to lose it. Soon, oh so soon, he would get what he want. Jager's claws began to sheath and unsheath as he continued to wait.

"Yes Father, " Sahkmet said without hesistation, and with that, was off again in search of the pride's remaining members. The sooner, the better. There was no telling what that strange male may be thinking.

Red watched the spot that the lion and ducked into, making sure that he didn't leave without his notice.
"What's going to happen?" Kish'ya whispered, looking up at Red.
"To who?" Red asked, his eyes not moving. But he knew the answer.
"...Mika'il? Will he be okay?"
"We don't know what this lion wants yet."

He took a roundabout route, circling the outside area of the ruins. Would have stepped into the view of the male as he came in from the desert. Tall, muscular, the King hadn't let his body go to waste in his grief. He was still young, and wise. In his prime of life.

Jager was growing impatient. He peeked from his hiding point and began looking around, his tail flicking gently. He was circling now, waiting boredly. How little Jager knew what this had cost him for Mika could surely be able to see him now. Jager flicked his left ear as he stared out at the horizon boredly. "Come on, old man..." He growled gently. "Hurry up so we can finish this..."

"There you two are!," Sahkmet called softly, scrambling nimbly up along their perch. Her gaze trailed outwards for a moment in spite of herself, taking in the view -- and half-heartedly hoping to catch sight of her father's familiar coat glistening in the sun. Even if the strange male had perked her curiousity, and there was even the tiniest part of her that almost enjoyed the sudden excitement, the change of pace... the very last thing she wanted was her father hurt. If he turned out to be hostile...
She shook her head, turning her attentions back to the matter at hand. "Father wants us in the main cave for the time being."

Red kept his eyes on the mystery lion, "We're watching to make sure he doesn't leave beofre Mika'il gets there..."
Kish'ya was just about standing when Red replied, and plopped back next to him, "Don't want to be seen," she replied, looking back to the pillar.

"Finish what?" The gravelly voice broke through the air. "I have no business with you, young one." The Desert King looked over the male lion, tamping down the sense of familiarity.

The Desert Prince turned calmly to look at his father. Finally, face to face with the lion that left them. He snarled. "Oh, but I think you do, Mika'il. You just don't remember..." Jager began to circle, his muscles growing taut. "Think...don't you remember? Don't you remember a magenta lioness who loved you with all her heart? A son you never knew? What happened to them?" His tail flicked gently, his eyes intensly blazing with anger and revenge. "I swore one day that I would get revenge for what you did to Leanna..." Jager stopped circling staring at Mika from his left side. "For what you did to me..."

So this was his son.
Outwardly he remained cool, nothing showing on his face. "I remember Leanna. She was my Queen, my Queen of Desert Kingdom. I also remember coming back with Sakhmet and her not being here." Pink eyes watched his son, muscles tensing and flexing under his skin. "As a Queen she had duties to this Pride, to watch over it while I was gone. She didn't do that. As a Prince, you should understand that."
