 His Pride had dissolved into nothing. Luck with life, and love had been almost non-existant. He had heirs to continue his line... and that was at least a point of peace for him. His line would continue on. Mika's pawprint would be left in these lands, even though he might pass through the world unknown. The sands of the desert had faded away a few days ago. Making his way into the mountians. He had only known dried grass and sand through most of his life. Rock was a new element for him. And the water that coursed through it in some places. It was quiet, but for the sound of the water in the distance and wind.

 Dashira laughed, the sound silver and bell-like in the cool mountain air, as she splashed in the belly-deep water. It had been a long time since she'd just let go, just relaxed... When had she last waded around? Forever ago... Too busy being a Princess... Too busy being a Shaman.
"So many duties." She murmured sadly.
The haze of vision clouded her view of the blue and green around her, then drifted away with the last puff of a sun-hot breeze and the scent of endless golden sand. The desert. As arid as her home was lush... A place she had viewed from a distance, never tread.
"Who are you, King of the Golden Sea?" She asked, turning to face the stranger she could almost feel approach.

Ears pricked forward at the sound on the air. The scent in the air. Cool water to parch his throat, and the scent of a female. Paws turned in that direction. He wanted to see who this lioness was. Her call was intriguing, almost captivating. He'd only had this feeling once before. The current 'Queen'.
Why was he feeling this again?
Mika stopped a few feet away from the water. Staring at the sight before him. Beautiful... "Greetings."

Dashira almost took a step back as the lion she had sensed suddenly appeared before her. As Princess to this land, and Shaman, she held her ground, but her heart did a funny little flip.
"Greetings." She returned when she could find her voice. "I am Dashira, Shaman and Princess of Cyan Serenity... Welcome to the mountains..."
She gave a slight bow of her head, a polite, semi-formal greeting rolling out of her mouth for lack of anything else to say.
She'd never really met a male alone before... She'd always had friends, or her brother, or her father... Someone...It made her a little nervous, almost frighteningly aware of her daintier build. But he did not seem the sort to attack a lone female.

The males bow was far lower. "I am Mika'il, King of the Desert Kingdom." Or what was left of it. His cubs were still there, being taken care of by his middle daughter, Fatin and her Oneroi mate. "I thank you for the welcoming."
Water was glanced at. He wouldn't approach her, but the water looked so good.

"King of the Golden Sea..." She murmured, more to herself than anyone else.
The spirits had funny ways, even Dashira had to admit it... But this was the swiftest a vision had ever come true...
Seeing the King's low bow made her blush, and watching him eye the water made her scramble to the bank. "I am sorry.. Please drink, cool yourself... The desert is quite a journey from here..."

"Thank you." He drank from the cool water, but didn't emerse himself. It was rude to do so in front of a Princess. "It is, but an interesting one."
Mika had gone around Rackna's pride, watching it from a distance before carrying on. Then he'd been on his own from then on. The King dipped his tired paws in the water, letting it soothe them before retreating. "I did not mean to disturb you."

She smiled slightly, watching him with eyes gone distant. Disturb her? "You didn't... I saw you comming."
She murmured it vaguely, glimpses of the land he'd crossed dancing through her vision. She usually couldn't focus on the path of an individual, but these images came easily.. Unbidden... Simply flowing from his past, right before her eyes.
