Prolonged; Innocence Dies

The stars shined against the dark sky as animals and lions gathered around where a tawny brown lion was dragged through the wet ground by a large greyish-beige, black maned lion who had a dark green vine in his muzzle that was wrapped around the tawny brown lion's throat.

When they appeared in the middle, a tannish-beige, dark brown almost black maned lion stalked forward with sorrow in his purplish eyes.

"Athazar." the tannish-beige lion's voice rose over the howling wind. "You are sentence with treason. By condoning the kidnapping and death of his royal highness, King Ahadi. Do you deny this?"

Amongst the crowd was a pale cream lioness. In between her forelegs was her two cubs. Her hazel eyes stared in horror as a large tannish lion walked up. His orange eyes ablaze as his teeth was bared.

Athazar coughed harshly before moving his light green eyes up to to the tannish-beige lion, blood dripping from his muzzle. "Kono...please don't do this?"

Kono wanted to end the torture. His friend is being humiliated in front of everyone. But the law is that who ever performs a act of treason is sentence to death. "All I can do, is offer a dignified death. Fight my brother, Gizmo."

Athazar's eyes widened as he tried to plead for a straightforward death. But Kono turned his head away, for him it'll be easier to process his friends deaths as he lost a fight instead of losing his life for treason.

Athazar knew that pleading was useless. He weakly stood just as Gizmo lunged towards him, his claws extended and his fangs showing. Athazar barely dodged the tannish lion's lunge, but had to quickly regain his footing as his paws slid in the slippery mud.

Athazar turned and swung his claws at Gizmo, catching him on his already jagged ear. Before he could retaliate, Athazar was out of reach and crouched low again.

Blood flowed from Gizmo's ripped ear down his scarred face. He lunged again, and this time Athazar was not fast enough to get away. His claws caught the tannish lion's light beige chest and they went tumbling backwards.

Gizmo swung out a massive paw and caught Gizmo on the side, while the tawny brown lion raked his claws down Gizmo's flank.

Gizmo used his strong back legs to flip him over his head.

Athazar, now feeling the weight of the battle and his previous torture, hit the ground with a grunt and struggled to push his self to his paws in the slick terrain. He rolled onto his stomach and crouched low, his eyes narrowed in determination.

Athazar could feel the warmth of blood running down his side. Gizmo shot forward, catching Athazar off guard, and sunk his teeth into Athazar's shoulder.

Athazar roared in pain and slammed his paw into the side of Gizmo's head as hard as he could.

But Gizmo pulled back, dazed from Gizmo's quick movements and his own tiredness, Gizmo took the opportunity, and jumped forward. Catching Athazar's chest under his paws and they went rolling backwards.

Gizmo's claws pressed into his throat, as the tannish lion pinned the smaller male. Both of their breaths coming out in uneven gasps.

Just as Gizmo raised his paw to end the lion under him. The pale cream lioness turned away while quickly herding her cubs away from the area before they were spotted.
