“ No one suspects such evils during the burning light of day ”
A blood curdling scream came echoing through the lonely tunnels of the Oasis. A voice, calling for someone to aide them in a struggle soon to be lost to silence. Haldir’s ears perked up, turning from his present course down away from the rest of his rotation to sprint in the direction of the scuffle. His strides were long and fierce, tearing up the ground beneath him in the hopes he could help the desperate plea. Unfortunately he didn’t make it in time, he only able to hear several footsteps scatter down the multitude of corridors that connected the underground. Before him lay a mangled lioness, one of his fellow guard who he knew well. She always ran the opposite rotation as him during the day and they had become so close. “Help! I need help here!” Haldir screamed, calling for anyone who was able to hear him. Before long another guard came running around the corner, eyes wide and in disbelief to the scene now in view. “Go get the council. Go get Mitus. There is a murderer on the loose.”
Soon the council was down into the tunnels of the Oasis, accompanied with Ethereal, Valkyrie and few other high ranking pride members. The sheer shock and horror of the event left the group quiet and appalled. Crime within the Oasis was near non-existent, and the murder before them seemed to smell like trouble of the Pride.
“What happened here Haldir. What did you see?” Mitus spoke up.
“Not much my lord, I heard her screams and left my post to check on the noise. When I approached she was already dead…I didn’t see anything.” “Nothing at all? Are you sure?” “I do not know Mitus, it all happened so fast. Maybe… perhaps I did see something. I saw a flicker of golden eyes peer around the corner briefly during my rotation. I thought it may have been another guard wanting to talk but when I reached the spot there was no one to be found.”
“Golden eyes you say, lets start rounding up anyone within the Oasis with golden eyes. Regardless of pride or age, we will get to the bottom of this.” “My lord” Haldir spoke up, standing up straight after the shock of the situation” What was she guarding… perhaps the motive may be linked to it if you could disclose-“ “Perhaps now is not the right time Haldir.”
Ethereal now stepped forward “Not a good time? If anything can lead to this monster being found it needs to be disclosed. What was it she was guarding?”
Mitus sighed, “She was guarding twenty pride warriors” -the ones who had gone missing before- ethereal thought. “Why were they being held against their will Mitus? We came here for peaceful negotitations!”
“We couldn’t take any risks. Your numbers could have caused great trouble should you have come here with bad intentions. We did what we felt was necessary, you would have done the same.” Mitus snarled as the words excaped his lips. “If I find out one of your pride lions were responsible for this, our deal is done…as .are. you. “
“Then it will be my greatest privledge to prove you wrong. You underestimated the pride and why we are here, and now that you have shown your true colors, allow us to show you who’s really the monster. Nice to know where we stand, friend.”
