What a beautiful poetic moment. Walking across the sands of this new world for the first time the mortals have no idea what was coming. Not that he wasn’t mortal himself but he strolled with such confidence and grace that the truth behind his pretty eyes was yet to be revealed upon this world. In time it would but for the moment he would play his cards and blend in until he gained the needed alliances and power in order to take what he wanted. Of course he also needed to figure out what he wanted from this new landscape. For now he just marched onwards towards the future.

"What a compelling sight," she greets blue orbs immediately falling on the unusual blend of colors that decorate his pelt. The high sovereign strolls in, a soft purr rolling off her tongue as she descends like a vulture ready to pick up the scraps and bring them home. "What is it that you seek?" Was he new here or had he intentionally come to the passage knowing that the recruiters would be buzzing around him like flies with their pretty words in an attempt to convince him to join? She decides to take a seat today, ears perked forward with interest as she observes him. "I'm sure there will be others shortly," skull drifts to take in the environment around them wondering who else she might see. Would there be new faces from the last time she had been here?

@Horith

Of course he was a beautiful specimen. He came from a long lineage of beautiful lions. So much so many of them had been caged, but not him he refused to be one of those Cerberus the ones leashed to a pole simply there to look pretty and be eye candy for their masters. He was his own master, he was the god now.

As he strolled a lioness spoke her voice gentle and pleasant to his ears. Her attention was most pleasing to him and so he stopped to chat for a while with her. Deciding to answer her question with a truth rather than some stupid fickle lie. "Power, alliances, fine wives and a place to conquer." His voice was confident and controlled. He was being completely serious. But he wasn’t being aggressive about any of it. Surely this lioness or possibly these others she spoke of would have at least something to help get him started in this place. "For the moment I would settle for the name of the beautiful beast before me. I am Horith Cerberus." He added smoothly as he looked at @Icefang ♔ with attentive eyes.

She was a tad bit late to the party. @Icefang ♔ had beaten her to the Passage and seemed to be already making conversation with the male before her. Ears swiveled as she caught his name right when she arrived and she'd clear her own throat. I do hope I am not to late to the party. She would muse at the two, dipping her head at the Brook Queen before turning her attention to @Horith. She would sit down, which just made her slightly swollen stomach just that much more obvious. But did it matter to her? No she was still here to do her job as Queen to recruit members.

She listens as he states what he is seeking. She chuckles softly, "You'll find plenty of that in these lands, I can assure you." He asks for her name and she smirks easily settling into the political queen. "Pleasure, @Horith. I am Icefang X'uekai. High sovereign of the paradise over there," Crown jerks in the direction of Vermeda Brook. As she predicted there are not alone for long, attention drifts to @Aphrodite ♔. Icefang dips her skull respectfully as she takes note that the Caladan queen is also pregnant. "Congratulations, may they be strong and healthy," she rumbles before facing Horith again curious to what he will think now that another affiliation has joined them.

Waiting for @Icefang ♔ to speak another beauty arrived. A rather round one but he enjoyed the sight of her nonetheless. Clearly she was taken by someone but that someone was a fool for letting @Aphrodite ♔ roam around without an escort. Giving a smirk at the pregnant lioness’s comment he shook his head. "Twos company, threes a party." And fours a rock show. He replied to her with a nod of his head.

"Pleased it hear it Icefang. A paradise sounds lovely. Could you tell me a bit about this land?" He asked curiously about this paradise and about the general landscape of the new land he has found himself in.

Violet jewels glanced over to @Icefang ♔ when she had began to speak. She got a name from the male before Icefang turned her attention to Aphrodite herself and Aphrodite took notice of her own growing belly. She dipped her own head towards the Brook Queen, Congratulations to you as well, may they be strong and healthy. She would state before turning her attention back towards @Horith himself. Ears twisting on top of her head when she heard his words cross the distance between them. Well, Horith, Amaryllis has a variety of landscapes. You have the beach and seaside just in that direction, in which I rule and reside in the Cove. She would point in the direction of the shoreline in which that borders her home and the Lagoon. You have the desert in the opposite direction with the mountains more center. There is a Jungle further past the shoreline, and then where Icefang lives. She would try to give her best description of the landscape, wasn't sure she was doing a great job.

Pleasantries about their developing pregnancies are exchanged before both of their attentions focus onto @Horith. "Yes, as @Aphrodite ♔ mentioned there are many prides here with different landscapes. There are ten and the area you are in now is a recruiting ground. My kingdom is rather simple - provide me with your respect and pull your weight. In return you'll have all your needs fulfilled and allowed to be your true self." A soft smirk graces her lips as she considers what he stated he was looking for. "Perhaps one of your future wives is located within the Brook, or if you secure a pride in the future considering the leaders here often change with the seasons you might find an alliance with me." Of course, it would all depend on if they got to know one another and where exactly his loyalty fell, but the option might be there.

ooc: sorry it's crap, terrible migraine but didn't want to keep yall waiting

Oh yes now that he looks more carefully both lionesses are pregnant. They must either both be fearsome women or their men weak little weenies who don’t have the brains to support their women with escorts. It matters not for he would just see when he settles into another normal here. Ears perking like a curious golden retriever as both give their attention to him. @Aphrodite ♔ spoke of the cove and @Icefang ♔ spoke of the rest. Then gave a simple explanation of what he could expect from her and what he was expected to do. "Sounds agreeable enough. I have a lot to learn and decide. However for the time being I am going to take madam Icefang up on her offer." He spoke surely and with confidence as he nodded to both ladies.

He would then wait for his new queen to lead the way as he dipped his head in goodbye to the cove queen.

-exit with Icefang-

( absence post 1/5 )

( wanted to get this finished before the break. I barely have service right now so if you could please put the request in for the rank change that would be awesome and helpful. )

It was clear who he was going home with and all Aphrodite could do was dip her head towards Icefang as she watched the two begin to leave for the Brook. Ears twisting on top of her head as Aphrodite would begin to trek through the passage in look for other possible rogues before turning to head back home. She'd take her time going back to the Cove, make a whole trip out of it and make a detour before she'd eventually get home where she'd be able to relax. But as of right now, she wanted to walk off the disappointment of not bringing another to the Cove.
