KeresHow your lion feels:
"My name is Keres, I am a spy for the rebellion, but I live amongst the pride much of my time. I joined the rebellion for my beliefs with my Mate, but many things have changed, as have my allegience.. perhaps this is why I'm hesitant to say anything about these new comers. The rebellion will know nothing of them from, at least. The pride will not see me around them. I wish to stay away from their issues, though my duty will likely betray this wish, as usual."
Keres has had a very complex history, but the vital information to this is that she was born to the pride to parents that didn't truly want cubs, and neglected them. Banding together, her siblings became the most important thing to her. They relied on one another for everything, and are the only pride lions to know her reason for disappearing every few days.
Keres loved Wernen and Lilith with everything she has, and has happily watched as they each took mates and had families. However, her a llegience began to shift when Wernens children Ezra and Varania joined the rebellion. Especially when the rebellion ordered Ezra to kill Wernen. With the horrid realization that her beliefs meant nothing if it's up to lions with the likes of the rebel leaders to create them. She has begun to lengthen the time spent at the pride in order to avoid the rebellion.
It's due to this that she met many of the newcomers first hand. Eowyn was the first she met, a guard with the element of psychic and poison, her psychic abilities allowing her to see parts of Keres mind. Due to this Eowyn knows Keres' secret and allegiance.
"" Keres walked the pridelands without much confidence, her mind was alight with misgivings and confusion, her very core beliefs and loyalities were being challenged for the first time since she had her parents constantly around her- it was unsettling to say the least. She felt her only solid ground was with her sister, Lilith, and her dear nieces and nephews. To see Lilith so happy after so long, much like when Wernen had found his mate and had cubs, it was good. She found herself jealous at times, cursing her own inability to have cubs for herself and Raider, but to see her family happy was good. She missed her brother so dearly, found his children that she saw daily in the rebellion unsettling. At one point she may have had a hand in raising their station, in finding them the right contacts to engage in the rebellion... but now.. she curses their station, curses their very being in the rebellion as an act of karma spitting at her family for its wrong doings, for its traitorous and selfish acts.
There were many things, to say the least, haunting the icy lioness as she trudged into the prides core in the mountains. She barely even noticed the newest gossip floating from the mouths of lions everywhere. Not at first, at least. It became hard to ignore though, when she suddenly heard a sharp intake of a gasp. Attention shifting to the lioness infront of her, "Watch it" , she growled. In a moment of hesitation, the lioness stepped out of the way, her gaze darkening and muscles tensing. Keres narrowed her eyes at the multicolored lioness, tension flooding her as she stared. The two lionesses stood locked in a glaring match, sudden hostilities unexplained to Keres until the stranger spoke.
"Who are you"
She nearly laughed, a stranger to the pride lands asking a pride member that? Who do they think they are? What do they know? Keres untensed, ready to play the role of a innocent pride member until the stranger hissed traitor under her breath. Ah.
"What will you do?" She asked, calling upon her element, the air seemed to chill around her, her whiskers gathered frost.
With the chill, the stranger seemed unsure, her confidence faltering at the threat. "Why? Why with so much to lose? I saw youve got thoughts of family, so much new bliss, why lose that for the rebellion?"
Keres hissed, psychics. She had learned those that wandered the pride to avoid them in case this very situation occured, but newcomers were always a threat. "Whats it matter to you?"
The stranger- Eowyn- seemed to straighten up, a mask sliding over her face as she seemed to decide what reaction would be appropriate for the change in events. She stood elegantly, but her form was wrong for preparation for fighting.
"Your presence and position requires you to give intel to those that wish to see Lochren burn.. You could ruin my family. However... It is not my position to ruin yours either. If you do not tell of my family and our appearance here to your traitors, I will keep my mouth shut."
Keres stared, surprised by the sudden change of heart. This stranger.. it was dangerous. This was a bad idea, but.. she nodded. Her family needed her around- or rather she needed to still find good in the world, and thus be around her family for it. Raider would be delighted shes still able to see him in the pride lands if she agreed and kept quiet...
Would the rebellion even know of her betrayal to them? How could they possibly find out? They would know nothing of it. She'd make sure she gets away with the deception.
"Deal." She whispered, more of a breath, barely audiable. The stranger stared at her for a moment, then unflurled her wings and took off, leaving Keres to her own.
Keres watched her retreating form quietly, wishing she could escape her cloudy mind as easily as the stranger escaped the situation. With a sigh, she turned and began walking in her dens direction, forgoing her plans on visiting Liltih. She could use a little comfort from her mate right now. He'd know what to say, he always knows how to calm her fears.""
