Through the brush, Erishi could see relaxed golden pelts and her tail raised slightly, causing the warriors behind her to stop. Her Pride leader glanced at her and she muttered under her breath -- very quietly -- that something was wrong with the enemy line. She also suggested in the same tone that she'd take some of the warriors into the trees and attack from above if the he would take the rest and continue walking as they had planned eariler.

The leader mulled over this for a few seconds before nodded. Erishi flicked her tail as she and a few other lions seperated from the colume and climbed up the trees. Keeping the noise they made to a minimum. Once Erishi and her group in the trees were steady on their branches, she motioned with one of her white-tipped paws for the leader to proceed.

He did and kept low to the ground as he stalked forward while the warriors behind him did the same as they fanned out alongside their leader.

Erishi padded lightly over the branches, keeping low and making sure she made no noise. Her brightly glowing yellow eyes watched the enemy line from above. She would shed Fire blood this day and she would shed as much as necessary to see that her pride was victorious.

Erishi watched as one golden lion slipped away from the lions in his Pride. She half-snorted as she continued on. What a fool, she thought as she started to narrow her fiercely glowing yellow eyes until they resembled slits. She glanced at her pride leader, who was still stalking slowly through the brush with warriors at his tail as they positioned themselves to attack the Fire's flank.

She looked down back at the golden warrior, just as he looked up. She exposed her canines in a snarl before she roared her attack. The warriors that had followed her into the trees, jumped down onto the Fire's backs as her leader attacked from where they were.

The black and white lioness sprang from her branch with her paws outstretch and her claws unsheathed. Her target was Marim.

Erishi landed on the ground as her intended target rolled away. Her tail lashed as she hissed back, her ears flat against her skull. When he roared and moved to attack, she saw slight hesitation in his pawsteps and lunged forward with claws slashing for his shoulder.

The noise of battle made her blood boil and move faster. Her eyes also brightened with a strange blood-lust indugled glee.

Erishi didn't have enough time to react as the golden male in front of her sliced her shoulder with his much shorter claws. The wound stung the cuts lay open to the air. She hissed and backpeddled slightly, avoiding his next attack. Closing her jaws, she still bared her canines as a low growl rubbled deep in her throat as she quickly took stock of her situation. She had backed herself into a tree and was trapped unless she could climb up it -- which she couldn't because she was facing the wrong direction and that would leave her back unprotected -- or, she could fake a swing at the golden male and break past.

She liked the sound of the latter.

Crouching, the muslces on her shoulders coiled as she waited for the perfect moment to execute her plan. But as she waited, she realized that her opponents golden fur seemed to reflect the sun's light in the oddest ways; like it created a golden veil around him.

She banished the thoughts with a snarl as she thought of a ruby red lilac given to her by her future mate. She will not about a Fire lion like some sun-adled idiot. She would win this; even if she had to fight a little dirty.

With a fierce snarl, she narrowed her glowing yellow orbs and lunged at the golden warrior; temporarily forgetting about her plan as fury enveloped her.

I don't count that as powerplaying.

Erishi hit the golden warrior, then the ground. Her breath whooshed out from her when she fell. In an attempted to regain her breath, she also squirmed to get out. To get up and fight back. All of a sudden, the weight on her was gone. She blinked once, her yellow eyes wide for a moment before she coughed; regaining her breath. She also pushed herself to her feet in a slow movement before wincing slightly.

She had landed on the shoulder that the golden warrior cut open with his claws and now tiny bits of dirt was now agrivating the bleeding red flesh beneath her black fur. Her tail lashed out -- a blur of black with a white tip -- as she faced the golden lion again.

But something was different about him. He looked limp. Her eyes narrowed as she bared her fangs; emmiting a growling hiss as she did so. She didn't care. He was her enemy; an enemy she had to eliminate. Her claws slid out again as she slashed diagonally at the right side of his face.

Erishi started to follow the golden warrior as he darted off, but she paused; her sides heaving from exersion of their little battle. Lowering her lips over her canines, she let her ears prick up as she listened for anything from her Pride leader. She couldn't hear anything but the cries of battle and the cries of pain. Letting out a half-disappointing noise, she turned her head to her injured shoulder and rasped her pinkish tongue over the bleeding wound. Bits of dirt stuck to her tongue and she quickly spat those out before she inspected her shoulder again. The bleeding had stopped; but it still stung.

She sighed. She'll get Silvan to put something on it when she got back to camp.

That is, if she makes it out alive.

Shaking her head of the morbid thoughts, Erishi turned and joined the nearest fray of fighting lions.
