In the dead of night the leopard left, leaving his servant to attend any details that might come up, though he knew full well that there wouldn’t be anything. If a thief were to come about he had no shred of doubt that Casp would take care of them in whatever means he deemed necessary. There had been word of new pelts in the market tomorrow and the leopard had learned young that being there early was the best way to acquire anything of value.
Trading kept his mind occupied, especially when the approaching anniversary of the death of his wife and mistress came near. He didn’t so much miss his wife, but the thought of his mistress brought him great pain along with aggression.
Finally at the bottom of the mountain, Sool, also known as Emerce by those of the mountain, looked back up the mountain. Had anyone followed him? Frowning, the muted colored leopard turned back to the path into the woods. He couldn’t quiet shake the feeling of eyes on him, but that might just be him being paranoid.
Passing the place where his wife and others had been buried, Sool paused for a brief moment. Grey eyes analyzed the spot where she was now laying, six feet under the ground.
“Good riddance.” The leopard muttered under his breath before continuing his journey into the depths of the woods.
The wind always sounded stronger inside, branches creaking violently and swaying to and fro. If someone was to stalk another it surely would be easy on a night like this. Turning back to look up at the mountain and to make sure he wasn't being followed again, Sool shrugged his shoulders. The wind and noise of the forest must have been getting to him, he reassured and pressed onward.

Nike sat quietly in the forest, her wounds finally healed to the point where they didn't cause her pain to move. Some were still scabbed over and fur had yet to grow over them, and to be honest she wasn't sure it ever would. Her exile had been swift and painful when she had challenged her mother for the title of queen, but it seemed her ambition was bigger than her talent. She had retreated to a deeper part of the forest after the banishment, licking her wounds and trying to think of a way back into her pride and her mother's favor.
She never had the intention of disappointing her family. In fact, the opposite was quite true. She had been raised with the proud knowledge that she would one day become queen as the eldest born and perhaps that knowledge had forged her desire for the title a bit too quickly. Her mother was still strong, after all...but patience had never been a virtue she had possessed in large amounts.
Her temporary home was near the mountain the leopards and cheetahs of the Mlima called home. She would gaze up at it in disgust from time to time. Nike was not what you could call fond of those that lived there. When she went out hunting, even before the exile, they had jeered and insulted the lions that she was with. She knew there was a truce between the prides, but by Nana, she wanted to sink her teeth into one of them and give them a good shake. They thought they were so high and mighty calling down to them from the safety of a cliff, 'accidentally' raining snow or small rocks down on them as they hunted. Pathetic.
The wind shifted violently as it often did, and a scent caught her nose. A lone leopard was in the woods. Surprised, Nike stood and began to move towards the scent. Usually when those of the Mlima descended to the woods they came in large groups so as to avoid an attack. But this one...yes. He was alone. She stilled as she caught sight of the male who seemed a bit hesitant, checking over his shoulder now and then. As she followed him a plot formed in her mind. She could capture him...yes...and bring him back to her mother as a peace offering. Alive, of course...his pelt was pretty but his mind was what they wanted and needed. Information on the group above them, information that might pertain to Nana.
It was with silence and force that she attacked. She jumped from the shadows without warning, charging towards the leopard as silently as she could, the snow softening her approach. She reached out with her claws, attacking from behind, a silent snarl on her lips.

He was in the right to be paranoid, however it was in the unluckiest of ways that he his paranoia had been confirmed. The attack from behind left a gash on his left hind leg and his face buried in snow. The leopard had absolutely no idea who it was that attacked him, only that it left him feeling enraged.
Lip and brow twitched as a low, rumbling snarl emitted forth from the leopards maw, his paws pushing him forward, away from the attacked. Whipping right around on instinct and adrenaline, Sool swiped a clean, solid blow at the face of the attack, now whom he recognized to be a lioness.
“Wretched beast! Why are you attacking me?!”
Hissing at the lioness, the leopard arced his spine upward, making himself look larger, his fur and tail standing on end. He was backing up, readying himself for another attack. Where could he run? How could he escape this?

Sool winced, his body retracting from the attacker as blood spilled forth from the wound created by the lioness. Taking a glance at the wound, he felt his stomach twist. He had to get out, had to get help…
The adrenaline from battle and the searing pain that was now nipping at his torn flesh caused the leopard to go into some sort of berserk fury. His eyes darken as he let loose a guttural growl that seemed eerily misplaced coming from such a small creature. Picking himself up, the pain shot through his body, making him quake, yet the soft grey creature seemed to dismiss it. He would repay her for harming him.
Lashing out, the leopard let loose a heavy hit, cutting away at her shoulder. Sool aimed to knock her off balance at the very least, enough to get away. However, he had half a mind to kill her instead.
“I will never dishonor myself with cowardly actions.” He hissed, dark eyes aflame with fury. He was losing himself, giving into the fire of rage.

"Oh, on the contrary, it would be quite honorable of you to do so," Nike snarled in return. The leopard was desperate, she could tell, and she couldn't blame him. Here he was alone with a lioness in the woods at night. There were only so many scenarios that she could think of that would see him escape. One would be if he killed her, which was highly unlikely. Another would be if he could escape long enough to climb a tree, but he could only stay up there for so long. Another still would be help coming for him, but there were no sounds other than their snarls and hisses.
She took the hit to the shoulder but didn't loose her footing, managing to get in a quick swipe of her claws as well. "The attacks will cease if you give up," she offered, panting heavily as her wound continued to bleed freely on her face.
