These lands are where lions come to be free from the tyranny of man. Their familes are being hunted and killed for their skins, their claws, and for trophies. In the direct center of Africa, lies the Onyejekwe Wildlife Reserve. Poachers and Hunters are not allowed to hunt in these parts. Wild lions find sanctuary, raise up their prides, control land, and fight for territory expansion.
From the start of Onyejekwe Reserve, only one lion pride was formed. Dakarai was formed by King Akuma. Will you choose the life of a family, or will you reside all alone and wander the savannah?

It had been a rather dangerous trip here for Orrin. Between his being half blind and the rain pouring down more days than not, the rocks in the quarry had been very dangerous. It had taken him much to long to arrive here, but now he wanted to relax a little. Scents of many other animals lingered here, but for the moment hunting was not on his to do list. For now he was okay on what he had drank collected between the rocks, but he figured by dusk he should head for water.
It was mid morning so for now he was looking to take a cat nap. The male wandered around through the trees for a little bit, enjoying the shade they provided. The ground was soft from a rain the night before, but for now everything seemed clear. Off in the distance he could see animals grazing, but Orrin just shook his head and yawned. His lower lip snagged on his broken tooth just briefly. It was another forever scar of what had happened, his missing eye much more a visible scar to be noticed by everyone.
As he laid to rest below a tree, his ears picked up a sound above him in the tree. Orrin looked up to see the birds jumping around and just plain being noisy. Getting annoyed very quickly, he got to his paws and leaped into the air, a loud roar leaving his powerful jaws. Chuckling at the birds quick disappearance after that, he shook his two toned mane and stretched out his front legs, toes separating as he gave another big yawn before flopping into the soft dirt. Enjoying his now quiet scape, Orrin rolled onto his side to prepare for a cat nap.
Golden orbs stared out over the Savannah from the protection of a tree. The branches helped to keep the predator hidden. He peered through the leaves and branches, waiting for the next prey animals to come along - or at least something to entertain him. Shao'Jin stared down to the ground, his chin rested on the branch beneath him. As he yawned, he lifted his head ever so slightly and then laid it down again. He was rather bored. His tail whisked from side to side, slashing in anticipation and disgust. Why was nothing coming his way? But then the sun shone down on him and the gods answered his prayers. A lion appeared. It was not common for Shao to want to get involved with the other felines - in fact he normally didn't. But today was to be different. His course tongue swiped over his lips and pulled back into his mouth. Taking interest in the lone male forced the leopard to climb down from his tree. He lowered his body to the ground, hiding himself within the flora. His ears pressed to his head, and his tail stayed close to his body. He approached from behind, looking at the rear of the creature. "Are you lost?"
Paws stretched and then went back to normal size, his ear twitched as flies landed on it, but otherwise everything seemed quiet. However a sound behind him made the male stir and pay attention. "Are you lost?" Hearing a voice behind him, Orrin let out a snarl and got himself to his feet, turning quickly to protect his backend. Expecting to see someone standing behind him, he was startled to find nothing at first. Picking his head up high, the male began to look a little more careful with his one eye. "What would make you believe I am the lost one. You are the one currently in hiding. I would have to say you are the lost one."
Orrin was not wanting a fight on his hands, but despite the fact that he had the scent of another feline in his nostrils, he only had a thought as to where the other was. However if a fight was what the other wished, all it would of had to do is jump at him while he was down. Blowing air from his jaws the scarred lion began to stretch out his legs, pushing his hind legs out behind him one at a time and spreading his toes. With a shake of his heavy mane he once again stood still. "Care to explain the point of hiding?"
tags: Shao'Jin notes: not very good, sorry, next one will be better
Eager eyes watched through the protection of the trees. His tail whisked gently behind him side to side. The male leaped up to his paws and seemed to have expected the leopard to be on the ground. He held in the chuckle as he watched. "It's not smart for a lion to be all alone... Why don't you run on home to your little gathering or whatever you call it." Shao'Jin moved to a higher branch, one that was right above his target. He moved quietly, not disturbing the leaves. "This is what my kind does. We blend in with our surroundings to keep ourselves safe." He stared down at the other, watching him stand still once more. The large male was silent, watching and waiting. He wanted to know what the next move would be. If there was going to be a fight, he would have the upper paw. He was on the high ground. He had killed a few lions in his time, this one would be no different. "Do you have a name oh lonely one?" He jestered the other. He wanted to know more about this lion, mostly because if he had friends of family, they would surely come looking for him. If he was a true loner, this could be the advantage to the leopard.
As the other voice had no clue what to call a pride, Orrin knew this was no lion for sure. While he had been a little hopeful it was just some cub trying to play a game, things seemed to be getting bad quickly. The brief silence with follow up words said the same thing. He was dealing with a leopard. With an angry twitch of his tail the male lion began to move knowing that just standing still would most likely make him to easy of a target. His ears flicked under his heavy mane as the voice asked his name.
"My name is none of your business. Why should I even give you my name when you still hide? What is your reason for even speaking to a lion?"Chicken, can't even come face to face, just hiding. With a snarl he looked up into the trees, still keeping his paws moving. Just having half his eyesight was making it harder for him to even try and spot this stranger. Heavy paws kept moving his heavy frame around, his body showing just how annoyed he already was for not being able to face this leopard on equal ground.
