How did they meet?;;
Once upon an overcast day, Night had been wandering freely around the open plains, his muscles tensed. He occasionally paused from time to time to feed upon the dry prairie grass and sip on any water he could find.
Suddenly, as Night had relaxed long enough to begin chewing on some wild grasses, a pride of lions slinked from the thick brush, instantly spotting the stealthy black Oxirie. The hungry group of lions had originally been stalking a youngin' of the same species that had separated from her herd, but had now turned their attention onto the black creature before them.
A snarl ripped from one of their bared teeth, menacing and loud. Night froze, coiling his muscles once more to run.
Before he could, however, the small gray Oxirie the lions had been chasing before slid into view, it's trembling body giving away it's terror despite the courageous act. She let out an alarmed bray and tittered over to Night, nervously twitching her tail.
The black Oxirie stood in bewilderment as the tiny malnourished calf attempted to stand up for him.
"Are... are you insane?" he said with a withering glare. "Now we're both dead!"
The calf stomped her foot stubbornly, but did not reply. She nipped Night's flank and darted in the opposite direction of the lions, an obvious escape. He galloped after her, quickly catching up with the feeble creature. The lions immediately pounced after the two, their sunken bellies growling with starvation.
Before the pride of predators could catch up, Night wheeled about to defend not only himself, but the weak Oxirie that defended him.
"What's gotten into me?" he muttered quietly before standing up on his hind legs, ready to strike.

Needless to say, Night eventually defeated half of the lions before scampering away, badly wounded, with the young female at his heels. The two now banded together and form a tight bond over sharing multiple near-death situations.
