A form of a lioness made its way across the shore line of the bay as the sun was setting. Her coat shown brightly against the orange and blood red light and she stretched her whole body out. This was no normal lioness, her size showed that. As she walked on, on two legs she stood and her body shifted to that of a human woman in her early 20s.
Her name was Ratha, a lioness shifter from a far away land to the west. She left her lands, pride and everything she knew in search of a better pride grounds to maybe start a new pride for herself. Ratha wanted to prove to not only her old pride mates but herself that she could be a great leader.
She ran her long nails through her hair and looked about. "A good place to set up a den. Wonder if there are other lions around?" Her shape blue eyes search about the area of the bay for any signs of life.

(( Figured I would use my one girl that is involved in the current plotline. Charity is the Cerberi Render's 'adoptive daughter' of sorts and yeah, doesn't know any better that Render is doing something wrong in the coming plotline so it might be fun cheshirecity.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=hybios&action=display&thread=490 )) Charity was sitting up on the rail overlooking the bay in peaceful thought when she heard a noise to her right. She turned her head, bright silvery blue orbs scanning the shoreline when she spotted what at first appeared to be a human girl. Though with the scent of lion also upon the wind Charity had no second thoughts that this was more then just a normal human. She tilted her head in a innocent manner, sliding off the rail to her feet her black boots clunked against pavement of the walkway. She pushed down her lacy black skirt that had bike shorts beneath it and adjusted her grey jacket and red tank beneath it. She then moved over to the young woman without a second thought, a air of innocence to herself as she smiled. " Hey, what are you doooing?" She smiled as she leaned forward way more cheerful then was necessary but Charity didn't really understand all the time the whole personal space issue.

Ratha had smelled another but the young woman startled her so much that she let out a lioness roar at the young one's face showing her long white fangs grow for an instant. Once she realized it was just a harmless human girl, she backed off and covered her eyes to control herself from shifting.
"Young cub, do you not know its a fool's death to startle a lioness?" She gave a little sight and uncovered her eyes to show the gold fading into blue. "I could of had your tiny throat in my jaws in 2.1 seconds."
The young lioness smiled a little to lighten her mood. "Remember that so you don't sneek up on me again! Haha!" Her laugh was kind and happy, showing that she was not cruel or going to lay a harmful claw upon her head.

Charity tilted her head like a confused dog for a moment with a slight hmm escaping her lips.
" Lioness? " She questioned as she had noted the slight shift of the woman's appearance. Her look of confusion though turned to a look of brilliance as she thought she had figured it out.
" Your a were right?" She asked with a happy grin upon her face. She was a hybrid of Cerberi and Witching blood herself so she had knowledge of the night breeds but of course she had not encountered the exact breed that was the woman before her. Shifters was something Charity had never met before and well, there was a first time for everything.
" There are alot of were's in the city, some of them are happy and some are very angry.....very, very angry. There has been a lot of missing were's lately in the packs. I only know how one were disappeared....." She spoke as she looked off in a lost train of thought her voice of course trailing off at the end. She had hunted down the were that she spoke of and killed it to consume and take on it's form at need. Of course this was all part of Render's training and they way her breed absorbed DNA. Charity had no clue that this was something not looked highly upon in the community. Charity..... while she was extremely nice and sometimes extremely smart had a air of not everything being right in the head at times. With the shock of her past well, there was no wonder to why things weren't 100% upstairs, and despite her grizzly deed Charity never acted as such a hunter except if she was instructed to by someone she trusted.
" Oh! I won't sneak up on you again! Render always tells me not to sneak up on her too!" She exclaimed with a total change of subject. She smiled at the stranger in a warm cheerful manner as she nodded to her in excitement.
"My name is Charity! Whats yours Miss Lion?" She asked with a grin.

Ware? Ratha thought about the word for a moment and shook her head. That didn't seem right name for her people. "No no little one. I'm no were anything. I come from a clan of shifters. We can fully control our shapeshifting by will when we are old enough to learn and still retane humanity in animal form. Also we are animal hearted and our abilities pass through bloodlines."
Being animal hearted, her senses kept bugging her for a bit as she looked down at the girl. Sure she seemed innocent but she had seen killing and smelled the blood. For someone seemingly so pure, it was a hard fact to grasp, but sometimes, as her mother told her as a cub, the most prettiest faces could hide the most bloodest fangs. Once again mother your words are true in this strange land, she thought grimly. She knew she would have to be extra careful around this area and finding out there were wares around and worse some gone missing would make things very difficult to establish another pride.
Ratha blinked for a moment lost in thought when the girl told her name.
"Oh um, I am Ratha Fire Bringer of the Solar Clan, but I guess around here Ratha is just fine." She blushed a little at her full name and title for being one of the lionesses that worked with flames in animal form. It was the biggest honor to be chosen. "I came from the west seeking to create a new pride for myself here in connection with my birth clan (oh um the clan I came from). Tell me what other creatures have made clan ground here and how many clans are there?"

Charity just starred..... completely lost. The long name was just more then she could comprehend. Charity barely ever remembered a first name.... that..... that was almost mind boggling to the young girl.
" Ratha! Yeah I like that." She grinned at her in a cheesy manner. That was till she spoke of clans and creatures.
" You really aren't from around here? Are ya?" She asked with a bit of a city accent to her tone just then.
" Well... um.... humans of course, but they don't know us nightbreeds even exist for the most part." She started off as she then thought really hard trying to tick species off on her fingers.
" There are witches, vampires, were's of course, fae, changelings, demons, I have heard tale of angels in the city but I have not seen any....." She trailed off as her brow furrowed a bit.
" uuuhhhh........gargoyles, dragons, naga's...." She continued on then looked skyward as if things were evading her thoughts.
" I forget what else..." She continued not going into what she was. Render made it clear no one should know what they are. Cerberi were hunted to the point of near extinction and they would be hunted again if the witches got wind of a pureblood and a hybrid of witch and cerberi were in this very city.
" Comrade the were rat that is the Barkeep over at the Cheshire Cat could tell you more! But he always asks for a price in return for his information." She grinned innocently at this.
" But.... I have to say your the first Shifter I have ever heard of! Are you a rare race?" She asked unsure of this. Little did she know another shifter had made her way into the city. A shifter known as Clare Theron who had the antique store and book shop over on the other side of the city.

Ratha was unnerved at so many different kinds of creatures walked among the humans in this strange place. Of course she had never been so close to a city area and never been around other kinds other then her own shifter pride. Vampires, weres, dragons, nagas, angels, demons!? Goodness, she sighed, I have a lot to take from if I must have a pride for myself and keep them all safe! It seemed, as Ratha looked around while the girl talked, that no one really visited the bay area. The first land I lay claim in the name of my clan, and future clan.
She then heard she can gather more information from a local...rat? "A-A rat? Such a lowly creature knows much around these lands of...the city?" Ratha didn't trust many other animals, and the clan never trusted the word of a rat. They spread lies in the sea of sand where she use to live and once spread a illness that nearly killed all of them a 100 years ago. If she was to get more information about this place and learn of maybe other shifters or lions, she would have to talk with...it.
"I'm surprised you haven't met a shifter before...well at least I am. My clan is large and I've heard of clans in the northern areas burried in snow and ice." She held her tongue for a moment and blushed. She spoke differently from Charity and might make her stand out more to attack. I might just have to keep my words close, but I believe this girl goes not want to bring me harm.
"I will talk with the other shifter later, but for now take me to this barkeep and the rat you-....to Comrade. I would like to speak to him and I have enough to satisfy his taste for payment." The lioness pulled at a little bag by her waist and opened it to show the girl that she had many large rubies. "These came from humans near our land. They come to the sea of sand to harvest these stones. They seem to have some value to your kind."

" Comrade? He knows everyone! People are always talking to him, even Render." She nodded happily at this. She frowned as she stated she was surprised she had never met one before. Charity shook her head.
" No...... I never even heard of your breed." She told her honestly. Little did Charity know of the race was rare in these parts but the young hybrid just accepted whatever the woman told her as truth.
" But follow me. Comrade is nice and sometimes gives me food if I am good." She smirked as she headed down away from the docks and south towards the location of the bar. She turned down a old winding alleyway with cobblestone lineing the floor from a much earlier period in the city's history. One could feel the sense of magic that kept humans away from this section, made them feel unease and move off to safer parts of the city. As they walked a swinging neon sign with the image of a fuchsia and purple Cheshire cat grinning as it was streched out atop of the famous words.
The Cheshire Cat Pub Where All Madd Here
She walked under the sign and turned to open the heavy metal door .... to show the woman into a whole new world of madness and insanity.......
" Welcome to the city Miss Ratha." She giggled as she walked inside.
( I'll post the link in a moment as soon as I post up a new thread in the next section )
