With its message "Clearly" relayed the creature seems quite resolute in its mission. Wandering off aimlessly it starts lifting up random rocks.. occasionally popping one into its mouth with satisfied crunches. Evidently it was snacking while it seemed to be looking for something. Seeming to understand that the lions it was with didn't really understand its meaning it turns to them "Find Uuk'oks" It explained itself. Sidling over it began to make coughing noises, as if it had a hairball caught in its throat...before spitting out a glowing green orb of some nature. One side of it was glowing red. It batted the little ball around with its paw and the red section moved fluidly with the orb to remain pointing in one place. As if magically (or perhaps scientifically) showing the way to...whatever it was the creature was trying to show off. "Uuk'oks Danger. Un-Nice. Want bad." it said. Momentarily, it seemed a bit sad, as if something was drawing its mind away. "The great Eater. Ate home. Home gone. Find Uuk'oks. Punish" it said with a strange noise that might have been an indication of anger, but sounded more like a slide whistle.

It lets out a little hiccup before sitting, satisfied...For about half a moment before it seemed to start as it realized something "Oh. Hide friend. Take." it looked at itself. Seemingly realizing it may have been a bit forward about taking their pride member's appearance. "How?" it looked to its lion of choice, its eyes sparkling as it queried. How should it make its appearance! Naturally- it would just take the appearance of someone else, but here it would be rude, right? They didn't seem to like that. Its pelt flashed different colors as it wiggled its back, ready to stop the little 'color roulette' wherever your lions said the word.

Ubbe just stared with his jaw dropped at the creature first it was eating, no more like choking on the rocks now it was playing a crazy game of who can make Ubbe and Ivar vomit first. Ivar simply rolled his eyes at Ubbe, he was surrounded by idiots and a supposed imposter that could become any creature it willed but it decided to mimick a stupid chicken Hvertsirk had always sailed with. But soon Ivar was slowly getting sick and tired of this and especially the bright lights emitting off the lion. “Enough.Enough with the damned colors!!!” He roared at the lion watching it cower down and stop its pelt with gradients of purple with swirls of black to match its head, as well as red paws to match its bright eyes. Ubbe simply shook his head,“I have never seen a purple lion before now that was cool.” Yet it seemed Ivar as usual did not feel the mural feelings for the weird creature in front of them with broken lion tongue that wanted to find some weird lion or lioness in front of them. As Ivar glared at Ubbe, “I refuse to call you uk’joks or whatever the hell your alien name is. If you want our help then you will take up a name in our tongue.” Ivar snarled.

The imposter blinked fragilely as what seemed a small tear leaked from the corner of its left eye,“ Yes. Friend. Me... Me. Need. Name.” The newly formed lioness said with its broken lion speak finally revealing its gender to the mortals around her. Ubbe mulled it over while gazing over her features especially the four eyes. “I heard the Seer was soon going to kick the bone, and she does look like she would see into the future. How Skarde. It suits her.” Ivar scoffed but soon agreed as he could’ve cared less they had more important things to be doing then naming the creature but he also was the one who forced her to take a name. “Me. Like. Skarde.” She responded.

Ivar’s teeth just gritted at her broken response,“Ubbe you will be in charge of her as she leads the way for her little friend. Know that we know that she can take form of anyone especially the king and her friend can more than likely do the same we better do something as they are now threats. I would say regroup with the expedition but lord knows if they are all imposters by now themselves. It was worth leaving but at the same time I’m even more annoyed being stuck with the two dumbest creatures ever on this planet. He hissed.

Ubbe simply sighed and shook his head before looking at his new muse,“C’mon Skarde, I’m the patient one who doesn’t have thorns in his nonexistent mane.” He said with a grin making Ivar flex his claws due to his self-conscious nature. Most of the males, mainly all of males in the bokmals had manes except for poor little Ivar. Skarde tilted her head and blinked before scampering over to her new teacher.“N- N- Nno N- N- Nnon.” Skarde tried to speak as her eyes watered up in humiliation she wanted to learn the new foreign word Ubbe had called Ivar to enrage him but she just couldn’t form the right the sounds to make anything out. But at least Ubbe caught on to what she wanted to say,“Even Skarde says it’s nonexistent, isn’t that right.” He teased with a smirk while gently bumping her shoulders to cheer her up.

Skarde violently nodded her head before pricking her ears in fear as she was bumped by the bigger male,“Warning. Uuk'oks. Danger. Bad. Uuk'oks. Bad.” She started babbling again like a lion who was stuck in a gladiator arena and had gone insane in the very end. Ivar just stared at the lioness and again rolled his eyes. If he kept that up they would more then likely get permanently lodged into his brain.“I thought I told you to take care of her!” He hissed at his partner in crime. Ubbe panicked,“I don’t know what’s wrong with her! She just started saying it again!.” Ubbe stated back as their conversation slowly died out to harsh snarls.

Prompt:

Pelipa stood beside her sister as the little group of cubs watched their new 'friend'. It appeared that Chepi's question of more clarity went right over this thing's head and, instead, it seemed to just continue on as if all it had said was completely and utterly understood. Which... it really wasn't. The whole group still looked confused from the earlier communications, and all they could really do was try to compute what it had said while it also seemed to wander ahead, looking under rocks and... eating them? That was weird. Pelipa was about to inform their new 'friend' that rocks weren't really for eating but she stopped herself. It appeared the thing enjoyed them, so she thought it best to leave it be.

As it spoke of finding these Uuk'oks again, Pelipa only continued to frown, along with the rest of the group, it seemed. However, once it seemed to begin hacking, only to hack up a glowing green and red ball, the cubs immediately squealed in disgust and hid their faces. Even Chayton was a bit grossed out by it, but Pelipa could hear the deep chuckle that came from their elder at the sound of the group's disgust and fright.

Pelipa peaked out from her paws to see the creature move the ball, only to see that the red remained almost stationary, pointing in the same direction despite movement, and it caused her to blink in surprise.

"Is that how we find the Uuk'oks?" She begged shyly, soon watching as the creature just spoke of it's home... and, apparently, what had happened to it's home.

The sound of it was quite sad, and Pelipa could sense the atmosphere change as it spoke so few words of what happened. The group easily understood, although it was hard to picture something eating a home... but nevertheless, it caused Pelipa and Chepi, along with Molimo and Haiwee, to wander over to their new friend and settle a bit closer to it, showing that they wanted to help in some way. Zitkala, on the other paw, remained behind, standing next to Chayton who just watched them as he had done thus far.

It was only now that Pelipa realized how small the creature was. Sure, it was mimicking a cub, but it was even smaller than Haiwee. It was... it was probably the size of a newborn cub, and yet had the features of, either, and adolescent or adult, looking back at it. Of course, such features were hard to distinguish with how it appeared to look at the current moment. That face still gave Pelipa the jitters.

The group remained in silence for some time before the creature apparently spoke of it's 'hide friend' and ultimately looked to Haiwee, who seemed to blink in confusion before finally understanding.

"Oh! Uh... What do you mean, how?" The little cub begged, only to watch with wide eyes as the creature's pelt began to shift into varying colors, changing quickly and yet allowing Haiwee to pick whichever she wanted.

The whole group ooed and awed about the entire spectacle. Even Chayton and Zitkala were impressed and they just watched as colors and pelt markings and designs went flashing before their eyes.

Haiwee watched for quite some time before perking upon something she liked in particular. "There! That one!" She'd squeak happily, watching with astonishment as the little creature stopped in it's changing of colors, the pelt it had picked something reminiscent to a mix of the entire group's pelts.

It had Chayton's gray face and Zitkala's unique markings, with Molimo's spots and Chepi and Pelipa's odd streak markings. Last but not least, it had Haiwee's eyes.

The group could only look upon the creature's appearance for some time longer before they all agreed it was quite nice, and it definitely blended in. It was small enough to be a cub, and yet looked nothing like a single one of them. It could just pass as a cub within the rest of the cub group. This was perfect!

But then the group recollected the strange creature they were looking for; the Uuk'oks. Pelipa could only frown as she thought more and more of it. What were these creatures, and what did they look like? Were they like their little friend, here? Or something entirely different? And how would they be able to find them if they didn't know what they looked like?

There were so many questions going through that little head of hers, and she was fairly certain that the rest of the group had just as many, if not more, questions than she did, herself. And yet no one asked... because, unfortunate as it was, chances were likely that they weren't going to get a discernible answer. And even if they did get such an answer, they weren't really guaranteed an answer that would make all that much sense.

Pelipa, then, looked to her superior, frowning slightly.

"What are we going to do about the Uuk'oks? Are they going to eat our home, too?" She begged sadly.

That question caused all of the cubs to fall silent, if they weren't already, wide-eyed as they looked to the makisa. Fear danced in each and every one of their eyes, for fear of loosing their homes, their friends.... their families. They didn't want to lose them, and such a statement was obvious with just the look in their eyes.

Chayton frowned upon seeing all of them so disheartened, and soon he breathed out a sigh. "They won't eat our home... we'll have to stop the Uuk'oks." He'd murmur. "Somehow..."

"We got the glowing ball thing," Chepi commented, soon opting to point a paw at it.

"And we have our new friend to help, too!" Molimo added with a small, tired grin.

It caused Chayton to huff a little, soon glancing to the creature-cub before looking to the glowing ball, then back to the cubs.

"Alright... Then let's go find those Uuk'oks."

"Yay!" Exclaimed Haiwee, "We're going to save the world!" (1,007 wc)
