An exasperated squawk sounded, mingling with the steady drizzling of water. "I don't know, Chiaro," Came the voice. A soft splashing indicated that a creature had entered the small accumulation of water below the miniature waterfall.
"Oh, come on," A rumbling male voice replied, the grinning teeth of a lion glinting in the gloom. "Just one more. You'll like this one. Please, Rhada?" The lion who the voice belonged to shifted slightly from his position on the ground, dipping one paw into the cold water and flicking water droplets at the belted kingfisher before him.
Rhadamanthys lifted a wing to shield herself. "Repeat it for me again?" She asked with an exasperated sigh.
"Okay.. Forwards I am heavy, and backwards I am not. What am I?" Chiaro grinned wider, kneading his huge claws against the sandy bottom of the tiny pond.
Rhada was silent. "I don't know."
"Go on..." Chiaro prompted, flapping his huge, peacock hued wings anxiously. "Just guess."

A throaty growl pierced the silence. A shadow materilized out of the shadows,"Chiaro, as my position as guardian I have come to inform you that the Pride of Moving Clouds has a new leader. She is a female, hardly a threat I assume.. as most females." With a flicked of his tail he sat, waiting to be excused.
A bright yellow bird fluttered to sit on the lions head. It chirped and glared at them, digging its tiny claws into her lion. Reminding him of his place.
But this time he could not resist. He loved riddles. "And I believe you are looking for the answer,"Tons." He cleared his throat, keeping an emotionless face, though he wanted to smile. He was to keep his and his leaders relationship strictly business,"You migh wish to find better riddles, my leader." He flicked his large ears, telling La to stop.

Chiaro sat straight up, a frown on his face. "The Moving Clouds lions have a new leader? And a female?" He grunted with a kind of laughter, shaking his head. "She shouldn't be anything to worry about. Did you happen to find out her name?"
As the guardian took a stab at the riddle, Chiaro's ears fell back slightly, his brow cocked. "I assumed one like you would figure it out," He stood up, and shook the sand from his coat. "It was quite an easy one. I was just testing Rhada." He indicated the kingfisher who was pecking indignantly at the water.

"I see." The lion twitched his tail,"Your Kingfisher could have easily gotton the answer." He actully wasn't sure about it, but he would never insult a leader. La, his hawiian bird chirped,"No she coudln't have! She's dumber than a box of rocks!" She ruffled her feathers and glared. Then she hooted weakly. Thar had attacked her mind,"Be polite to our most beloved leader." He hissed lightly. Then he turned back to him. He remained seated, as his leader had not told him other wise,"The rumor the scouts have said is that her name is kiavernanya, but goes by Kia. They say she is very head strong, but silent. Emotionless. They also say she is small for her size."

Rhada screeched angrily to La, bristling angrily. "Please," Said Chiaro with a small smirk. "Try to keep your Creeper under control, will you?" He made eye-contact with La, and shook his head. The fat little creature certainly had a temper!
"Kia, eh?" Chiaro frowned. "Okay. I'll keep the name in mind." He gave a small shrug, and shook his coat again. A few more bits of sand fell from the his fur. "Anyways, I thank you for telling me this, Thar." He looked at the other carefully. "You may go if you wish."

"Of course, my leader. La will be punished." Then he bowed slightly and backed out of the clearing. The shadows soon envolped him. "La!" He growled harshly,"Why? Just keep your mouth shut, or I will have to shut it for you." La knew he didn't make threats he didnt intend to keep. "This new leader," She said, changing the subject,"Might be a girl. But so what? I'm strong you know. And I'm little." She added.
"But any male could beat you. Females are not good leaders. She will fail. I personally hope our leader does something about it. Then, and only then, will they have a proper leader."

A large shape circled above and dropped into a nose dive. Pulling out her wings at the very last second she landed gracefully. "Hello!" she said repsectivly, "I heard there is a new leader, is this true?" she asked. Carefully she folded her wings so as not to distrupt anything.
A dark shape that had followed her also folded his wings and hopped forward. "Hello!" he rasped in his harsh raven voice.
Sha reached out her paw and pulled her familiar back to her, "Be nice..!" she hissed.
Karfee snorted but stayed by her.

Chiaro glanced up as the other appeared beside him. "It would appear so," He said, watching Rhada as she pecked at the water in frusteration. "I have not met her yet, but this should definately be interesting..." He sighed, and stepped partially into the water.
Rhada turned her piercing gaze on Karfree. "Hello," She replied back in the squawk of a kingfisher.
Chiaro looked down at Rhada, then at the lion. "Thar tells me that she's a female. To be honest, I can't wait until I meet her.." He chuckled, shaking his head.

Kia swept from the skies, following the scout she had saw. With a flick of her small tail she landed softly beside the two. Her lion face held no emotion and the bird beside her was like wise. She glanced at the two calmly, then at the skies, waiting. Arth had his head bowed in a calm type of way, though inside he was all fluttery. "I am sure you have heard of me!" She growled lightly,"I am the new leader of Moving Couds. But I do not come on a friendly term. In fact, I have come to warn you to keep your scouts on your own land. They are to search your land not mine. I followed this one from my territory. It would be wide to keep her off." She added as an after thought. She was small, even next to two next to her, though she showed no fear. Her muscles were bunched, ready for an attack.

Maha landed next to her expertly, "Be careful please?!" she said so quietly the others couldn't hear. She stood and bunched his muscles ready for any attack that might come.
Guma landed in front of her paws and looked at the other lions and their Familiers. They be very different from us! he whispered mentally as if the others could hear.
Karfee cawwed a challenge to the other Familiers and puffed out his chest angrily. "Careful Sha, they may not be peacefull!" he whispered.
Sha pulled him back to her and stood over him protectivly. She looked over at her leader to make sure he didn't want to attack and drive them away.

OOC: sorry it took so long. xD IC: "Kia, then?" Chiaro turned to her, his tail flicking. His face was blank, a hint of a challenge in his eyes. "I am Chiaroscuro. And I will keep my scouts under control... it is, of course, up to them to tell me what happens around the territory, but I will definately be sure to keep them in their place." He glanced around at his other cats, and felt reassured. Kia didn't look threataning so far, but he could tell by her posture that there was hostility burning beneath her skin. Either way, she was outnumbered. "Thank you for bringing this to my attention." He added as an afterthought, keeping his gaze level. Rhada hissed quietly, bristling.

Mahoo flew up above everybody. He was about to come in for a landing. "Wait that dosn't sound like anyone from our pride." Soom hooted. The Snowy owl hooted close by Mahoo. There was a cloud cover was thin but Mahoo still couldn't see anything. With-in a few seconds Mahoo sent down a beam of light. It only lasted for 10 sec. but that was enough for Mahoo to see that his leaders pelt, but what was that white colored pelt?! Mahoo landed many feet behind his leader and stared at the white lion. She had to be a cloud lion but what was she doing here. He started to listen to what they were talking about. Mentally Soom hooted to Mahoo all that he had heard. She had only heard that this lions name was Kia.

OOC: KIA IS NOT OUTNUMBERED! SHE HAS MAHA!
BIC: Maha stared at Chiaro trying to see if he was a threat. All he saw was a slightly covered challenge in his eyes. Maha snorted softly, he wasn't stupid enough to react to the challenge in the others territory. He hoped Kia didn't either!
Scawwwwwww! She be wise though mayhap not smart! Guma told him reading his thoughts.
How can one be wise but not smart my dear bird? Maha asked looking Sha over. All he got as a response was a dry chuckle.
Sha puffed out her chest as Maha eyed her. She glared back showing him she wouldn't be afraid to attack if he stepped out of line.
Karfee responded to the slight change in his gaurdian. He lept into the air and circled above her screaching hhis challenges to the skies.

Mahoo looked at Maha and Kia with intrest. They seemed so.... weird. Soom looked harder. Wow these lions were defenetly from the ones in the Pride of Starless night. They must be from Cloud Pride. He was still a young lion and didn't see the other kinds of lions often. But he remembered that the Leaping Wave Pride lions wings were useless so it must be the Moveing Cloud pride.
TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH TO FIGURE THAT ONE OUT!! and they say I have a bird brain! Soom said through thoughts.
Well you could have TOLD me! if your so smart! Mahoo said feriously.
Oh but its funner this way! Soom chuckled.
Mahoo looked at Sha and leaned in closer. "Whats going on?" Mahoo whispered in her ear.
