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?

< TBD > Enjoy the first update ^^
It was a bright and early start to his morning. There was a light rainfall cascading from the clouds above. Akuma awoke and gave a light roar to the lions to stir as well. He stretched out his long legs and shook his mane. It fluffed up as usual, even with the soft water dripping onto it. When the lions and lionesses gathered outside the den, he turned to face them. "Good morning, and sorry for the disturbance. Today we will be heading to the north. There is a forest, not too far from here that I wish to be brought into our territory. In the dry season, prey will come there to hide from the heat. There are many trees, which will allow all of us a chance to escape the heat. Also it can be used as a shelter from the incredibly wet season. Upon arriving, we will lay scent markers all over it so others will know these lands belong to us. They will be allowed to hunt and spend time there, but they will know this land is controlled by us, so if there are any altercations, we are responsible to end them. This could mean that any of you will be challenged. In the event that does happen, please alert your Guardians and Paladins. That is their job to protect you. If another King is present, do not wait to get me." With the words spoken, he gave a nod of his head and turned to leave the den.
He made his way down the side of the rock and headed towards the north. His pace was steady, not too fast and not too slow. He wanted them to move as a unit. Together, they would claim the lands, and expand their pride reign. When they reached the forest, Akuma could tell it was thick with life. He smiled as he looked up to the top of the tallest trees. He chuckled to himself and started through the territory. They needed to be in the dead center, then each move to different areas. "Alright, now we go to the center and then we make our move to take the whole territory." He turned around to face them once he was in the center. The clearing was pleasant the cover of the trees helped to keep the area mostly dry. He preferred doing this with these lions that came into his life. He would wait to give the final instructions until they were all present.

Still feeling new and a little unsure about her placing within the pride, Vicky slept close to the outside of the den. She hadn't gotten much of a chance to getting to know the others except Nuru. As a wake up call echoed through the den, she yawned and stretched her paws out in front of her, spreading her paws wide and watching Akuma head out into the gentle rain. Getting to her feet and trying not to get in anyone else way, she moved outside, stretching her back out as Akuma addressed the pride. He brought up good points and his reasons were good, seeing as how this was a new pride for her, that was important. Looking up at the sky, Vicky was hopeful scent marking the woods would not be in vain. Hopefully the rain would remain calm and not wash away scent markers right away.
Chuffing slightly towards the sky, she glanced back at the other pride members before heading off to follow the leader. Once more she did not hang real close, but kept a bit of a distance, yellow eyes watching for movement. While scent marking was not as fun as hunting, it was part of her job as a pride lioness. Rounded ears kept swilling around as they reached their goal. Birds jumping around on the branches, their noise a distraction. Parting her jaws a little bit the lioness slowed a little, looking skyward. Life was so abundant here and she almost forgot what the plan was for a moment. Dropping her attention back to where it belonged, the lioness picked up her pace. She began to sniff around a little as Akuma waited for all of them to assemble. Vicky moved around a little bit, looking around at the trees and bushes. Ears kept moving around at all the life around. She didn't catch any scents of non pride lions. After looking skyward towards the sky, not much rain seemed to coming through the trees. Things seemed to be going good so far. Turning away from the trees, Vicky turned all of her attention back to the pride. One ear of the huntress kept moving, keeping on guard as she waited for further instructions.
[attr="class","lekanin"] Akuma's roar came suddenly, and the sound was enough to pop Lekan from his slumber with a surprised jerk. Alarmed, the lion's umber eyes traveled the den, seeking out anything that could prove a threat. It was only when the feline spotted his King's massive, muscular and otherwise relaxed figure that Lekan's own muscles slackened. Grunting with distaste at being awoken with such urgency, the male rose with a surly exhale. He shook out the dust that had been peppered onto his pelt from his tossing and turning (as often happened when Lekan slept in places he wasn't familiar with). And then, with grumpy steps and an unimpressed expression, he padded out to greet his leader and the cats gathered in front of him. His interest inflated the more he listened to Akuma's words, excitement taking the place of his initial displeasure. He couldn't help the smirk that overtook his muzzle as the King mentioned the possibility of a challenge. Good.
With jovial steps did Lekan walk after his King once the march began. Lekan kept his mouth agape, tasting the scents as they were blown towards him. He did not mind the drizzling rain, he was too preoccupied for irritation. Without a word, the male trudged at a respectful distance behind his leader, eyes alert and ears swiveling beneath his dense golden mane. He was surprised by how starved he was for blood, or in the least a good scuffle. It wasn't as if he had willingly abstained, though the urge hadn't taken him in the brief time he'd been in Dakarai. That was odd, wasn't it? Lekan doubted he had grown so patriotic so quickly, to only wish harm upon those who didn't belong to his pride. It was fair to say that he'd developed a sense of belonging but to this extent? Did it matter, really? No, not at the moment. He could ponder his newfound cool-headedness after he'd dug his claws into another cat's flesh.
