Fallen Warrior
Some times in life you just have to wait and see what happens...
Lion had just finished his Chiva 6 months ago.. he had barely escaped as well as 1 of his fellow Unblooded Whom died later on the ship, because Lion was the only one that had survived he was called strong buy some and cursed by others. So much so he had been arrested several times being accused of being a Bad Blood! His people held honor very high but was not wary when it came to taunts. Though he had the scars from his Chiva none believed that HIM the weakest of the three would have survived.
So he went on his hunts to find refuge from the daily meanderings of his people. This whole time wishing some thing, some one would save him or give him a reason to live. His peoples way was just not good enough any more. Hunting to impress the woman of his kind just seemed to be fruitless. Quite literally in fact none of his kind wish to even mate with him..Sure Lion was handsome and his physique was very impressive... Still he had no offers from woman. So he hunted and hunted not caring about the woman or pups he wanted any more.
Out of his crazed life he decided to head to the back water planet his ancients left behind. Not caring what happened. The clan ship was already in orbit so he and a few others went down to the surface. He went his own way to the caverns north and the others went south to the hunting grounds. Lion found one cave with a pool of beautiful crystal clear water in it.
He takes of his Awu'asa and just as he is about to take of his netting he hears a gasp from behind him. He turns and runs after the being. Pinning it down so it can't move. It stops struggling long enough for him to realize it is a human female. She screams for him to let her go. He doesn't listen to her just covers her mouth. He makes the universal sign for any one to be quiet. She nods yes and he lets her arms and mouth go, But doesn't unpin the rest of her just yet! He toys with the different ways he could have fun in this situation. Since he might as well be a Bad Blood already. Every one else already thinks it of him.
He decides and cuts her clothes off. But not going further then any thing else just yet. He gets up and pulls her up with him. He motions for her to come with him to the pool. She does. As this was happening he was thinking how strange that this woman was not scared of him like she should be.
Then he saw her back and the whip marks up and down the length of it. Some were very deep. If only he could convey his thoughts to her. "who would do this to a female?" "why?" He grabbed her arm startling her. Just so he could see her back again. He touches them and she winces. He gets out of the water quickly to grab some salve he has. Lays her down and puts it on her she didn't scream at the burn. Which amazed him he has seen his own kind scream in pain from just the burn of this very same salve. As he finished he washed his hands of the rest, and came to lay next to her with her curled up to him. He realized just how small this female was. They both fell asleep in each others arms.
