Spirits of the Lake

"Yes, Palla, I very much doubt that she would be happy knowing what you were about to do and have done, though I believe she has guessed it was you who hurt Kida." She stepped forward, though there was not much room, hoping to make him step back and off of the young tigress he had been fighting. She kept her eyes on his, noting the calming effect she had on him, she tended to affect tigers in different ways, each to their own.
As his tail lowered, hers raised, he could own these lands, but while she was here, her age and wisdom must be respected, she was a healer and had the power to turn them down for treatment. It was rare that she did so, but they needn't know that.

[Palla || Daedalus]

The pressure was so much. What have I done? he thought in distress. Daedalus glanced around. Kida, sprawled on the ground, scars already beginning to form on her ragged face and shoulder. The other tigress, still lying on the ground where his paw rested on her throat. Diago, standing protectively over his sister, fear sparked in his brave eyes. The younger white tigress, painfully similar to White Raven, crouched timidly in the bushes. All because of him. In a daze, he stepped back as the old tigress advanced toward him. Forgetting all thoughts of the others, he stumbled through the trees, his coat dull, his tail limp, his eyes the color of dirt. He had to find her, find Palla, his kit sister. No. Not kit. Adult, probably beautiful as his mother.

The tigress jumped up and rubbed her throat with her paw. She took one glance at the new tigress, dipped her head and then jumped into the lake. 'There's something about her. I just can't be near her. It's not right.' She thought to herself.

Rithti watched as Dae padded away, his steps were unsure, but still determined, for now he had stopped tormenting these tigers, whether or not he had learned his lesson didn't matter right now. The young tigress she had made Daedalus leave alone was now swimming in the lake, she looked at her and spoke quietly, "If you come onto dry land, I would be happy to give you a poultice for the bruise that is sure to form." She kept her eyes on the swimmer for a few more moments, then turned to Kida and Diago, her tone took on a slightly stern accent as she addressed her son, "You should know better. We may have sanctioned her leaving of the Healing grounds, but she should be staying within your territory, your tigresses should be helping you hunt for her." She didn't mention how she knew he had new members, or her relation to him, though her eyes spoke clearly to those who could look. After adminishing him, she turned to Kida, "And you, you should be able to tell when you are well enough to travel. I will not have a patient die, either you return to your territory, or I take you back with me to mine. The future has need of you both."

Kirara simply stayed in the water, even after hearing the wise tigresses words. 'I won't go near her, I can't. There's something about her.' She thought to herself and swam to the surface needing breath.

Kaumudi slowly walked into the area, shoulders and hips moving together as though that of a snake, she raised her large head and slightly opened her mouth, carelessly making her way to the lake where she walked in to half leg depth then crouched, and jumped in with one quick swift movement. She thrashed about for a small while in the cold dark liquid before swiming to the edge, large fish in mouth climbing out and shaking her fur. biting hard into the fish to stop its pityfull squirms kaumudi switly padded of into the shadows.
