			             Themis - The Goddess  I, Themis, goddess known of earth and law,  Dispensing justice most divine. Again,  Am here to tell my story with some awe. 
  My parents, Earth and Heaven they do reign,  Uranus ruled the Heavens but not Earth,  But Gaea ruled the Earth as her domain. 
  My mother shared the earth with me at birth,  But I excelled in justice in my time,  And this is what is known as my *life*s worth* 
  An inescapable goddess that to whom  The gods must even yield to and submit,  As my wise words were always, so sublime. 
  As Delphi Oracle too, Zeus admits,  I make a trusted new advisor now,  So at the side of Zeus is where I sit. 
  The mortals I gave laws and that allows  A peace to reign in my beloved mankind,  So evil would not rule or be aroused. 
  The fates and seasons now come into mind,  And I tell you now they are gods and more,  But are my children too and so refined. 
  The fates they deal mankind*s life and deaths door,  as well as, ones true lot in life will be,  But seasons there are three instead of four. 
  I have more children so let me now see,  Hesperides the nymphs did watch fruit grow.  Enough about them, lets talk more on me. 
  You say you built a statue to bestow  My role as goddess? Look the scales I hold  For weighing claims of parties now opposed. 
  My tale is done, as gifts I now behold.

			            Name:  ReidGender: Male Relations to current pride members: Brother to Lakeisha Rank: King Mate: none yet... Skills: Taught by two water lionesses to fish, he is quite skilled at it. He has a keen sense of smell and is skilled with his heavy claws. He has a very solid sense of right and wrong, and wants to watch over everyone. History: Reid had an awesome family, from birth he's been protective of his siblings and responsible for anyone else around him Personality: More in depth then what's on the cert Name:  Lakeisha Gender:  FemaleRelations to current pride members:  Reid; brotherRank:  Hunt Mistress Mate:  N/ASkills:  Excelled hunter and fisher. Pretty much anything to do with catching things, she's also a good play fighter but doesn't have enough anger in her to do an actual fight it seems...History:  Born of Oba and Shanu, sister to four brothers is enough said. Reid is closest to her and that was one of her reasons for leaving, she trusts and knows he would protect her from anything as well as she would probably lay down her life for him.Personality:  Though it may not seem like it she is very strategic and wise, she also is stubborn once her mind is made it usually stays that way if another can change that more power to them...She's also playful and is a child at heart it seems, she also enjoys being single none the less for now. She just thinks its better to find out who she is before some male comes into her life and makes her start questioning herself which has happened on more than one occasion.Name:   DeseroGender: Male Relations to current pride members: Under Reid's care Rank: Warrior (when older of course)  Mate: N/A Skills: Because he's spent a good amount of time alone he has pretty much figured out the necessities for survival. He can tell the differance between a poisionous insect and non poisionous, same goe for serpents. He still has alot more to learn. History: There is not much to say about Desero for he has no idea where he origionally from, who his true parents are and for that matter how he even ended up within these plains. These factors play a role as to why he is so cautious to things he comes in contact with for the first time it is also the reastion why he is so intuitive for thus far planning the next course of action based on his intuition has kept him alive and unharmed. Now as far as him being aloof that is a mystery in it's own right. While he craves to be near others and gain that comfort he is also a loner in his own right. Possibly a trait he picked up from his birth parents.  Either way during his wanderings within a world that was his home now he manged to bump into a male teen who had his own quest in mind of creating his own pride and make something of himself. With the way this Reid was it was no wonder that Desero already started looking up to him and thus Desero joined this pride, determined to do all he could to carry his weight and make his king...his father proud. Personality: As it is obvious to some of the other cubs that Desero has come in contact with he is very reserved or rather distant both emotionally and physically. Being in a new place and knowing no one tends to make you that way but even before he was like that althought he can't remember his past. For one so young, Desero is rather intuitive. Not much can pass by him without him quickly understanding or seeing the true intentions of a certain action being taken place. Desero doesn't like to surround himself by fantastical thoughts and whims, he rather be full aware of reality no matter how harsh it can be.

			            The river had once been much higher than it was these days. The proof of that today is the various dens created by the harsh tides of the past. Perhaps when a great flood once plagued Gaia? Even in the winters, the tides never got close to where these both rock and dirt caves were. What better place to establish a pride? The bright colored lion who stood at the mouth of the largest and closest to the river cave with a feeling of immense pride in his chest. 
  "This'll do.." He said to himself mostly as he waited for his sister to return.

			            "I hope it will," Lakeisha said coming up from behind her brother. "Because I wasn't going to walk any farther." she replied with a grin. She looked to her elder brother in admiration, she however seemed to be some what distraught she had been royalty and was moved down to a Hunt Mistress which is a high position but woud things be the same. She didn't know but she hoped it would. She purred and pawed at her brother, Reid. "Looks, great."

			            Reid pushed Lakeisha back a little with a calm smile, "You know.. I think that's the most correct thing you've said all week! Wonder what Dad'n Mom'll think..." The lion had always saught after his father's approval, but their enteractions had been scarece for a while now. 
  "Which den're you going to want?" He asked changing the subject with another little shove to his little sister. "Where's that little runt mouse of yours?"

She looked around and had seen a den that had two smaller ones surrounding it and a small watering hole seemed to reside in it and it interested her. "That one over their seems nice."
  "Pardon me?" the mouse scampered up Lakeisha's leg and on to her head. "I do not believe I am a runt, so you might want to re think that. As I am more elderly than you. I belive your father taught you something of the sort," the mouses beady eyes narrowed.

			            The soft thuds danced in the air with each step that he took as he quickly trotted up behind the two adults. He said nothing at all, he just mearly looked around. Silently he took in the area, secretly memorizing where bushes and trees were. Where turmite and ant mounds were alongside the waterhole as well as the dens created long ago. Reid, in his opinion did make a very good choise in the location. It was conviant with easy access to water and places to hide when hunting. Now standing to Reids left, he sat back on his haunches and took in a deep breath of the fresh air.

			            Reid was about to start a good 'ol wrestling match with his sister when the little runtmouse decided to defend its self. Rolling his eyes he nodded, "Yeah, yeah.. I remember. Still need to develop that sence of humor there, Mighty Mouse." Again he was about to pounce, but the little cub brought a smile to his face and made him forget all about his plans for the two. 
  "What do you think, silent Desero? Approve?" Leaning down over the little cub whom he had taken in, he nosed him a little prompting him to the question. "This close to the water I can teach you to fish... Like I learned when I was your age." Gah! That made him feel old!

			            "Your choice wasn't good, it was wise. Easy access to water not only for us but for potential bigger prey and even when that goes away we still have fish. Then there's the number of bushes and tree's. Plenty of hiding spots and shade. I think you were meant to be a leader." Desero purred softly as he rubbed his head against Reids muzzle. Yeah, he had found the perfect male to raise him and teach him what it truelly meant to be a lion.
