Ayaukuhime had stumbled upon the edges of a dense wood that seemed to glow alight from the inside. Her midnight blue eyes danced glancing inside, but the lands seemed too complicated to navigate. Besides, they appeared to be pride lands and in her experience prides didn't exactly enjoy having strangers tramping about their property. Therefore, she settled for walking what she imagined to be the border, admiring the trees and mysterious light inside from afar.
Snow white paws continued to pad forward, her eyes focused entirely on the forest. She missed being inside a pride, honestly. After the disbanding of the Kiingereza'nchi Ayaukuhime left to the rogue lands and had not seen her family or anyone she'd really known or loved since. She began to wonder once more what it was like to be happy inside a pride, to be constantly surrounded by friends and family.
Her wonderings had her so consumed that she almost ran into a male who appeared to be a pride member, radiant in his purple color. "O-oh! My apologies," she stated, halting and dipping her head low. "I was just admiring the beautiful lands..." Ayaukuhime sat, mirroring his pose and wrapping her tail around herself. She wasn't really sure how to interact with pride members anymore, but the male had a soft look about him. Her thoughts became tangled in images of a sad and broken family and she quickly shut her eyes and shook her head slightly, blocking her out. Never could she quite figure out the strange images that sometimes flashed through her head. Best to ignore them, she thought.

At the male's question, Ayaukuhime let out a quiet but hearty laugh. "Am I? I always seem to be lost, honestly." Her deep blue eyes danced, glancing over the other's coat. It was bright and seemed to shimmer in the light, and he had a wing pattern on his back that distinctly sparkled. Additionally, he seemed to have a personality to fit.
Bowing her head, she smiled politely at him. "Tsun, nice to meet you! I'm Ayaukuhime," she stated, not really having a shortened version to make it easier on him. Although others have tried, there really were no nicknames that really fit. Glancing past Tsun, she continued to gaze into what appeared to be his pride's lands. It seemed a whole other world from where she stood to just beyond her new friend. "Might I ask, what is this place? It really doesn't seem like it belongs here." Ayaukuhime had seen much of the world in her travels, but nothing like this. It was beautiful.

"Mother spirit?" Ayaukuhime glanced inside the jungle, deep eyes sweeping over the visible lands. A chill worked its way from her nose to her tail as she did so. She could feel her, the spirit that watched over these lands. The Iknimaya. She knew it.
Glancing at the male, she smiled belatedly at his comment, having found herself caught up in imagining life within the pride. It seemed like a place absolutely aglow with a mystical kind of magic. At first, she did not hear her new friend, Tsun's, question. Then it dawned on her what she was asking. Ayaukuhime laughed as if the idea what absolutely absurd. "Oh, a new home? I haven't had a home in quite some time." She tilted her head, offering a sort of shrug. "Besides, I know nothing about you! Though..." Trailing off, she glanced back into the jungle. It was difficult to say exactly what was going on, but Ayaukuhime felt a strange tugging sensation at her core, pulling her towards the heart of the pride. "What's it like?" She inquired, turning her gaze back to the male.

Ayaukuhime grinned, absolutely mesmerized by the pride he was describing, his home. Idly her thoughts flickered back to the last home she held, full of her family, all of those she adored. That was when Tsun mentioned the "strong sense of family" present within the pride. Her eyes flickered towards him suddenly, her interest in the Iknimaya stronger than ever. About to comment, Ayaukuhime stopped herself when the male offered to tour her around the pridelands.
Already, this was turning out much more spectacularly than, well, any other run-in she'd ever had with a guard at a border. Typically, the guards were aggressive and attacked her if she didn't run off fast enough. But this was different. She hoped it was indicative of the pride as a whole.
Realizing she was lost in her thoughts (yes, again), she nodded quickly. "That - that sounds amazing!" Ayaukuhime laughed then, realizing how over-eager she sounded. It felt silly, but was it really? She had been without a family, without a home for many, many moons now. And Tsun seemed so passionate about the pride and... she just couldn't fight the strange sensation she continued to feel deep in her chest, pulling her to what she imagined to be the mother tree. "Sorry, I..." she shook her head, still giggling. "I just can't believe you'd let me see this place. It looks... amazing." Stepping a paw gently inside what she imagined to be the borderline, she glanced up at him. "After you."

Ayaukuhime nodded at her new friend, finding it difficult to keep her mouth from gaping wide open at the kindness he was showing her. Similar to her thoughts before, it was shocking to find a pride that was so open and welcoming to outsiders. She had had such trouble around prides previously that it was hard to grasp the concept of this new one. Hesitantly, Kuhi placed a paw forward, inside these new lands. She could almost feel the energy pulsating through the jungle floor. She glanced up at Tsun, questioning, but not willing to say a word.
Then she followed him, deeper into the jungle, deeper into the rabbit hole, as it were. At some points it felt as thought Tsun was no longer leading her, but some strange pulling in her heart tugged her towards the center of the pride, towards the mother tree. She knew this was where she belonged.
