Arsynia,

Lioness of Prideless

Played by dusk

---

She'd bided her time, considered her options. Arsynia had been content to linger in the shadows simply because it was easy to watch from afar, to witness chaos unfolding before her and not partake simply to watch its key players emerge from the fire. However, as time pressed on, the safety of her family had taken precedence, and thus was the duty of the hesitating Matriarch to find them a home. At first, she had considered joining Kaden or Barnabas, securing them under a King if only to avoid the weight of a crown herself. But Arsynia Tollaire knew her time would come soon, and when the opportunity had come, she couldn't bar herself from seizing it.

She ascended the mountaintops and first called for her family; afterward, however, came her claim, resolute and resoundingly clear, abandoning her hesitation in favor of security; Drakon needed a home for his family, after all, and Erenvel needed to see hera testament of her strength.

Arsynia is attempting to claim a pride!

There was not much to be said, they had lost their home and for what reason Minerva was not certain. All that she did know was that this was not what they had envisioned, what she and Barnabas had wanted for one another. And Minerva was not about to sit idly by, nor was she going to let Barnabas suffer. He had aspirations and dreams and she wasn't going to sit by and watch them coil up and die. So when the call came about loud and assured Minerva changed her course, heading directly towards it. Large paws left indents upon the ground beneath her as she trekked upward, higher into the mountaintops. She tossed her mane from her visage until that plum gaze of hers landed upon the stranger. And she was a pretty thing wasn't she? It was a shame that she would have to think about sinking tooth and nail into the woman but they both wanted something here today and unfortunately someone would have to be the victor and the other the loser. "My apologies madam but I too wish to have a home.. let us dance shall we?" Despite her massive size Minerva was no brute, she spoke eloquently and soft as her gaze rested upon the face of the stranger. She gave her a brief nod before squaring her shoulders and then abruptly lurching towards her. Long limbs took up the ground with ease, closing the distance swiftly as she eventually reached outward. Her front left paw swatted outwards, attempting to hook itself upon the woman's right side of her nape. She hoped to gain hold there but even so Minerva snapped with jaws bared and aimed to try and snag the woman's right ear all the while. Her hind legs remained solid beneath her, tail pointed behind her to help keep her balance.

Aesseldar was undoubtedly a land of giants. Kaden, Barnabas, Lucien, now this woman; Arsynia felt immeasurably shorter in stature, where once she might have compared to her brothers and sisters and father. Her eyes narrowed upon the maroon woman's approach, but she was intently focused on the tension soon pluming between them. My apologies madam but I too wish to have a home.. let us dance shall we? Arsynia nodded firmly, before spreading her legs out evenly, taking the lessons she'd learned from her fight with Kaden and using it to relinquish her control.

The woman charged first, her left paw scaling skyward and grasping angrily at the right side of Arsynia's neck. Given their height difference, the claws found their way just to the right of Arsynia's spine along the back of her neck, scoring deep gashes into the skin. Minerva's teeth also found Arsynia's right ear, easily able to cut deep into it. A harrowing snarl exhaled from her lips, but given their close proximity and positioning, Minerva's throat lay right before her teeth. Arsynia's jaws opened, and she pushed slightly inward to clench the remaining breadths of distance between them, hoping to clamp her jaws shut right around Minerva's throat as she rotated her head to her own left side (compromising as little of her right ear as possible), and attempting to bite right underneath Minerva's jaws at the throat.

In her eagerness to make contact with the woman perhaps she had been foolish as much to her dismay she left a very vital piece of her body open to attack. Though she felt the satisfaction of her claws sinking into the woman's nape and her teeth clamping down upon Arsynia's right ear she too felt the sting of teeth making contact with her jawline. Minerva attempted to jerk her head sideways to the left, if only to keep Arsynia from clamping down directly upon her throat. Her teeth snagged the skin along the right side of her jawline, immediately causing blood to ebb and flow from the wound there. Minerva attempted to clamp down even harder upon Arsynia's ear, if only to keep her still, meanwhile her claws kneeded deeper into the hold they had on Arsynia's neck.

As a nosy individual and one positioned as a leader, Tintalle wanted to figure out what the hub-bub was about. There was something afoot here and she was curious to find out exactly what. Though, as she turned herself northeast to venture towards the mountains and the call, she caught sight of the woman from her own claim. The one that had wished her well in so many words before vanishing with Barnabas. Something said about needing a home which forced Tintalle's eyebrows to crease as she considered what had transpired to make her need a home. Were the two on the outs and in a fight? Or had something happened to the pair that she was looking to recreate. Either way, it forced Tintalle's paw and she took a seat quite a distance away to observe and observe only.

meet me in the pale moonlight

when the call came, helayne had just begun to venture among the mountains. it was a place she hadn't touched yet. the woman had avoided it due to the steepness. although, scaling it wasn't the hardest task, due to her light weight.

as helayne arrived, she noticed there were two lions in the midst of a seemingly violent battle. for leadership, she assumed. the call that attracted her had seemed possessive. there was a large lioness to her left, still a distance away, watching the fight. not one for dramatics or unnecessary attention, she hid among the foliage, yards away from anyone, laying to avoid detection.

Arsynia's jaws found the spot on Minerva's neck below the right side of her jaw rather than directly on her throat, and the subsequent jerk of her opponent's head before the reclasping of her jaws around her neck caused Arsynia to grit her teeth. Her opponent's renewed and painful grip on both her ear and her neck caused Arsynia to retaliate in a similar manner, choosing to reinstate her clamp around the portion of Minerva's neck she'd managed to grip - her jaws attempted to grasp once more right beneath the right side of Minerva's jawline along the side of her neck, a brutal pinching of fur and flesh that could prove just as dangerous as if she were attacking her original target of the throat.

Arsynia's teeth were like hot blades against her neck as she dug in deeper, clenching down on the sensitive skin there. She could feel her skin tugging and ripping with the force of her teeth and a low snarl echoed from her as she grunted. Minerva could only withstand the pressure of Arsynia's grasp upon her neck for so long. Suddenly she decided that she didn't quite like this position anymore and instead of focusing on the individuals that were slowly beginning to filter in she instead moved to rock her weight backwards. While doing so she attempted to rake her claws downward to slice against Arsynia's flesh, meanwhile she clenched her teeth tight in an attempt to rip her right ear downward as well. This move still caused herself considerable pain as she rocked backwards, attempting to separate herself from the other woman. Eventually she released her grasp on Arsynia's ear as she didn't necessarily want to shred the entire thing after all! She wrenched her head backwards then, hoping to displace Arsynia's grasp upon her own neck. Meanwhile as she rocked her left front paw finally returned to it's position upon the ground, releasing Arsynia's neck as well. In a shift of movement her right front paw danced upward, hoping to allow her claws to find root on Arsynia's chest.

For some reason, whatever it was.... Barnabas had lost his home, and thus she had lost hers. Not really though, as she now had her Da and Uncle here, hopefully other family as well. But a place to lay her head? Yes, that was gone. Yet as she made her way from the rainforest towards the wastelands where she had left her Da, a call echoes from the mountains. A call of a claim, she moves then changing her path towards the mountains. Curious to see who exactly it was that had called for that claim, and if anyone dare challenge them.


It takes her longer than she would have liked to arrive on scene, only to find the female who had been with Barnabas in a fight with another female. Unsure which had called for the claim, she halts a safe distance from the scrabble, and watches. Waiting to see which female would come out as the winner, the new leader of these lands.

It seemed fitting that the place which Arsynia wanted to wrap her claws around was the very first place she'd crossed into this land. She ascended the mountain while her thoughts mulled over the implications of a new Tollaire stronghold, but by the time she arrived they were already deep in battle, grappling with one another as flesh gave way and blood streaked the earth beneath them. Saffron eyes had a menacing glint as she approached the lions, lips curling into a snarl as plumes of heated breath lingered near her partially gaped jaws. A low growl resonated through her breast, rising from her lungs and breathing life into the air, claws latching into the earth and her ears pinning back against her skull. If Arsynia won, today would be monumental for their family. If she lost, perhaps they had gained a new familial enemy already, someone who dare block their natural ascension. Narrowing gaze focused upon the challenger, the fur along her spine bristling as her head tipped forward and her mane spilled over the right side of her face, the fiery threads of hair hair igniting wickedly. Hardly did she spare a glance for those gathered, instead she watched the fight hungrily as it unfolded, breast muscles rippling with the excitement and the desire to throw her own weight around.
