The sun had set. There was not a cloud in the sky to mar the pale skin of the moon. The wind flowed through the grasses, the bits of nature that it brought with making it something tangible that seemed to caress the lioness of shadow, gold, and blood. The large creature just sat there in the grasses, eyes closed and an almost peaceful look on her face.
Their lands. At long last...their lands. A place the demons could call their own, a place where other creatures would learn to tread with fear. The lioness' eyes opened, revealing orbs that could only be called demonic.
She would guard these lands with her life. She would teach any who dared defy them that demons were not to be taken lightly.
She looked back to the dark cub behind her.
"This is now our home. This is the land our gods chose for us, the land we shall make others fear. This land shall be our legacy, and one day...I expect you to keep it safe, just as I shall. Maybe in a different way, but keep it safe, nonetheless."

"Good." She bent down to nuzzle her son, then stood and took off at a trot. "Tonight, you're going to learn what it means to keep a border. It can be useful for making sure other cubs realize a certain spot is yours alone, as well." She gave Nyota an almost gentle smile.
"One lesson you've already learned is that intruders are not to be tolerated. They will be killed or enslaved. Though...there will be some who may be like us." Hakuna crouched in the grasses. "Picture this...The night is quiet, like tonight. Suddenly, a rustle in the grass catches your eyes and ears. It's too large to be a prey beast. It can only be an intruder." She stalked forward, making sure her cub was following.
"Suddenly, you're faced with eyes like yours. Eyes filled with the hunger that consumes all demons. A pelt of blood and shadow, scars littering their body." She sat, muscles tense. "This intruder is a demon, like yourself...but are they one that can be brought into the pride...or are they a pathetic greedy beast who seeks only the thrones of the Aran'shale?"
