You are standing by a tree
There are 3 paths.
One appears to go to a jungle,
one appears to go to a cave,
one appears to go to a beach,
you could try and climb the tree,
there is a nearby shop you could go in,
or you could do something else.
So what's its going to be?

In the shop
There is a table with a sign saying
<strong>Free Sample:</strong>
Take one
On the table there is a fridge with a range of liquids. Also on the table are various magical trinkets including costumes. What would you like to take, or would you like to buy something?

Transformation Genie
Just then, a huge puff of green smoke appears.
The smoke forms the shape of a humanoid, then finally materializes into a turquoise-skinned man who appears to be about 25 years old. You quiver with fear, staring at him (after all, you're not used to seeing turquoise-skinned men appear out of lamps).
"Who has rubbed the lamp of the Genie of Transformation?", the man asks in a light, yet stern voice.
"I-I did", you answer softly.
He steps closer to you and bows. "Thank You, Master, Thank You!", he says as he kneels to you.
"Master?"
He stands. "Yes", he says. "You have released me from the Lamp, and now you may have three wishes.
The wishes carry certain limitations, however..."
"Yes, like what?", you ask again, almost bursting with excitement (having your own genie and all).
"First, there are only three wishes, no more and no less, and this may not be changed by any wishes made. Second, all wishes made by the master should be precisely worded. If the wish is too vague, then I shall choose the remaining factors of the wish. And third, all wishes must be related to the change of the master, or of someone else that the master chooses. In other words, all wishes must be transformative."
Well what are you going to wish for?

I don't need a **** Transformation
"I don't need a transformation thank you very much," you say. "I am perfectly happy as a human". "You can take your conditional wishes elsewhere, you ****".
The genie's eyes widen. "You are going to regret mocking me". " You don't want a transformation, too bad you're getting one.
GULP!!!

Female Taur
As soon as you flip your switches, you hear the genie's booming laugh surround you as if he was everywhere at once. Then suddenly before you even have a chance to truly grasp the laughter itself, a blindingly white light would envelop you. You flail and scream at the top of your lungs, terrified by what was happening. [Because of course why wouldn't you be, you just went into a shop out of curiosity. You never imagined to piss off a gin!] The white light would continue to hold you in a blind confused state, it would feel like an eternity before you suddenly would hit the ground landing with a loud thud.
You hold your head groaning a little bit, the white light and then the sudden fall disorientating you quite severely. It is only just now that you hear the ruffling of tree leaves from a light wind, your nose then would pick out the soft yet faint smell of something cooking over a fireplace. You push yourself up to have a look and see what's around you when you suddenly feel something in your backside, it would feel like something pushing through you. [You don't remember having any bad food this morning, so it's not food poisoning your experiencing.] A tail with a golden tuff would force its way out of your body, it almost second naturely begins to move back and forth on its own. Next you would feel your legs burn as if they were on fire, this causes you to roll around and thrash honestly believing that somehow the genie lit you on fire. The thought however would quickly flutter out of your mind as two hind legs burst from your lower abdomen causing you to scream in pain for a fraction of a second before both the hind legs and what were your normal human legs force you to stand up. Everything would seem relatively normal as you stood up, but you couldn't help but notice the odd sensation that you felt warmer than you did a minute ago. You look around and to your surprise you see not only your tail but four pairs of golden furred legs behind you. Most of your stomach would also be covered in the immaculate golden fur coat you now possess that ends right above your navel. You open your mouth agape and as you realize the genie has turned you into some creature.
You begin to panic just a little bit, but as you do you are unfortunately unaware that your masculine face gently shifts into a softer, rounder, sleeker version of itself. A small yet obviously notable mussel growing from where your mouth and your nose used to be. A new black nose also forms, being more triangular in shape rather than being that fleshy fat thing that use to occupy that space. Your eyes as well turn a nice crystalline amber color and your chest slowly turns into a soft, yet perky set of B cup breasts. After everything was said and done you are able to collect your thoughts and see that you have been transformed into a beautiful lioness taur. Even your arms had grown smaller yet longer, instead of those fat little fingertips you used to have now you were gifted long elegant fingers with claws attached.
You close your eyes and take a minute to think, you had just been through so much but now you were this… Thing. You feel your self start to shake as if you wanted to cry, however no tears come. You let out a long sigh, but it is just then the smell of something cooking over a fireplace catches your new enhanced sniffer. It would be the smell of some kind of meat being gently turned over in a fire causing a nice charred, warm, savory smell to fill your nose. Though suddenly the calm silence of the moment would be broken by a small rustling, your ears naturally flicked in the direction of the sound trying to pick up what it was. It would sound like a small creature scurrying around somewhere behind you. Your stomach would rumble indicating you are hungry, you gently place your hand on it and grumble a bit. Now what would you do, go chase the the creature making noise or try and get some food from the village a little ways away from you?
Each decision had a drawback. You were a new creature, your legs would not feel as strong as they probably should. You are also inexperienced, would you be able to catch the small creatures scurrying around? There would be no way you could absolutely be certain of that. On the other hand the village was a little bit of a walk away, being just visible at the end of your vision. However would its inhabitants simply let you have some of their food? Would they speak your language? Could you even speak in this form? All of this would be uncertain but you knew you were hungry. You had to make a decision and take a step into this new large world that the Genie had cast you off into.

chase after the creature
You decide to chase after the creature; it's noise too attractive to your ears. You quickly turn, and your back paws dig into the soft grass beneath your feet. You lock your eyes forward, concentrating on the bush you thought you heard the noise coming from. The muscles in your legs begin to firm up and tighten, you feel your heart beating, adrenaline coursing through your veins. You hold your breath for just a little bit before you press your hind legs up sending you into a four-legged Sprint, Your claws coming out of the earth pulling patches of grass beneath them. .As you charge you feel the wind rushing through your coat and to your surprise as you continue running, your legs feel gradually like they are growing stronger. You end up right in front of the bush and poke your head in; your snout effortlessly starts parting the leaves. You look around trying to find the creature you heard, to your surprise, you soon lay your eyes upon the creature. It would be what you would consider a bunny except instead of a regular white or black coat that you would associate a bunny with, this creature had a soft brown coat, with what looked to be red streaks running across its body. You look at it and tilt your head, confused by its strange appearance, but your stomach would soon growl reminding you of why you even started chasing the creature in the first place.
You look at the animal, your eyes shifting away from it in hesitance. However, as you look at it, your hand quickly snaps to catch it.Your claws would wrap tightly around its throat, and you lift it into the air looking at it with a small smirk. You then begin to shake as something in you had just instinctually grabbed a little creature, who was now wiggling around as it dangled from your hand. Screeching in scared anxiety and fear. You could feel the tiny bones in its neck shift as you held it, you could almost feel each shift as it wiggled from left to right trying to get away from your hand. You were barely able to feel it's soft coat against your own, an unfortunate side effect of one furred creature touching another. You look at it watching it writhe and squirm, you then let out a long sigh closing your eyes for a second before you bring your other hand up to its small neck and twist. A series of loud snaps occur as you turn the bunnies neck. After a few seconds, it hangs limply in your grasp. You would open your eyes and look at it, taking in its now lifeless body even in its eyes would be drained of the life you only got a quick glimpse of, now as black as a pair of marbles. You would look at it sadly before letting out another sigh. [It was dead after all, what could you do? Even if you wanted to bring back the creature now, you would have no way of achieving that. Better just to cut your losses and begin to dig in.]
You gently place the creature between your teeth just like creatures you would have encountered in your original home world. You look around trying to figure out where you should take the corpse of your fresh kill. As you look forward you would see a small grouping of trees clumped together, it is then you realize you need to collect some firewood or something to cook the creature. You obviously couldn't eat it raw, as the village across from you was apparently cooking there kills. You let out a sigh and begin to lightly jaunt into the forest, not sensing any danger.
You walk for a bit before finding a nice sunny spot somewhere in the middle of what you're going to dub a forest or at least a small clearing.The sunlight was seeming almost to be a spotlight for the place, as its light gently pushes its way past the tree tops. It appeared to be the perfect place for you to lie down, make a fire and enjoy your first kill. You then began to wonder as you move towards the almost picturesque spot, why you have started to normalize your more animalistic behavior. [Could it be possible that the genie's transformation would start turning rewiring your brain, letting you start to think like the species you were now? Who knows…]
You shake your head and try and clear your thoughts as right now they were not important, what was important was finding food for yourself before your stomach was so loud you could not hear yourself think. You gently walk over to the sunlit spot and drop the bunny's corpse out of your teeth; it falls to the ground with a loud thump. Your tail would flick back behind you excitedly, something about that sound would just make your heart flutter with happiness.you gently roll your neck ready to go further into the woods; you search the woods for a while looking for twigs or other pieces of bark that you can use to make a fire. As you venture further into the woods the smell of the cooking animals from the village would disappear thankfully, not egging your stomach on as hard anymore. You take your time and collect a few pieces of firewood, just enough to create good enough fire to cook the rabbit. You hold the wood close to yourself, occasionally feeling more sharp bits of the broken off wood dig into your chest.
As you walk back to your kill, you feel something gently tug at your foot, before you realize it you are being flown up into the air by some kind of pulley system. It would only be a few short seconds before you was hanging upside down, dropping your wood unintentionally all over the ground below. You look at it both annoyed and scared as you knew you would have to pick it up again if you reach the ground, however, you also knew you were in a trap, indicating that something or someone would soon be coming to collect you.
It would not be too much longer before you would hear a collection of growls and this distinct sound of a group or something quickly charging towards your current position. Pretty soon after a group of three male Liontaurs would move underneath your hanging body. They all looked pretty much the same; all had the same quadruped lower bodies, and golden colored upper half's, the only real distinguishing feature between them would be there warpaint that was present around their face and their upper half. One would have white paint, the other red, and the other a shade of purple or light blue. They would look at each other, the one in blue warpaint saying. "It is a female, not great prey. What shall we do Lowtar?" The Liontaur said both for puffing, his chest inflating a bit before he let out some air, it almost visibly coming out his nostrils. He then looked to the male in red face paint waiting for his response.
That Liontaur had a slightly more square face; he had dark green eyes, and he looked up at you with interest, sizing you up." We cut her down, then we take things from there," Lowtaur said smirking.
The other with white face paint went over behind you to one of the trees, and swiftly cut the rope that was leaving you hanging. You quickly plummeted to the ground hitting it with a loud crash. You then would look up at the three, each one of them you could see more clearly now, they all had big muscles and chiseled bodies as they looked like warriors. Your heart would begin to race as you felt like you was in danger. Each one of them held a spear at their side, the spear was tipped with a silver point looking razor-sharp. Ready to skewer you at any moment.
Now do you try to run, hoping that you would be able to escape them with luck, or who do you try and bargain with them talk it through and save yourself from getting skewered?

Bargin
You look up to them tears in your eyes. Still recovering from your quick fall, you say in a small breathless voice. "Please… Please, I beg of you. Don't kill me!” Lowtar smirks at you, puffing out his chest a little bit before releasing hot air onto your face. "I don't want to kill you; it is rare you find a female wandering in the wild. Any sane member of our kin would not take such a rare opportunity for granted.” Lowtar then looks at you, his green eyes staring into yours. " What are you doing here, you do not wear the paint of our people so. You are an intruder, what is your purpose out in our land?" He says. He sinks his claws into the dirt just a bit as he looks at you wearing a stern face,attempting to project an air of dominance and power. You look to him and shake; you can't tell him why you are really here. He would never believe you. Even you don't understand yourself; a shop, a genie, and a machine with switches? Even you would not believe such a tale if you hadn't experience it firsthand.
You push yourself up slowly and gently, the back of your heels pushing into the ground. You then look to the male with the red face paint and say. "I-I I don't really remember anything. I just remember waking up here. When I woke up, I was hungry and went to go get some food. I was just coming back from a kill to make a fire to cook it, and I ended up in your trap. Honestly, I wasn't trying to intrude," you murmur bowing your head trying to be respectful. Your heart is racing so fast that it feels as if it is going to jump out of your chest as you waited for the male in red warpaint to respond, having twigged onto the fact that he was the leader by how the others addressed him.
Lowtar looks at you, his cheeks puffing from one side to the other as he moves his tongue around in his mouth. He then lifts his paw to your head and gently wraps it around your four head. He presses his thumb into the center of your forehead, and you feel warm. He starts to push harder and harder; you let out a little whimper as it felt as if he was trying to break your skull with a single clawed finger.
Lowtar and the other two watch you for a bit before he says," Your scent tells me much; I believe that you did not know whose lands you walk upon. You also do not appear to be a threat so my fellows and I will let you keep your existence. However…" Lowtar then goes quiet before moving his hand down from your forehead to your cheek," I also like the look of you and you will accompany me and my kin back to my village as gratitude for us sparing you for trespassing. Is that clear?" He says moving his face closer to yours almost pressing his muzzle against yours and looking you right in the eyes.

Accept
You look back at him, your shaking returning as you grow more and more intimidated by him as you look at his dark green eyes with your beautiful amber ones. This position he has you in is certainly intimidating. However, you feel something as you look in his eyes, something you can't exactly explain. You start to feel warm again, and you stare at him for just a minute or two. You want to say hell no, run away or make some kind of fuss, say you don't want to come back with them but you can't even remember how you got here. However, a part of you actually does want to see the village, and maybe just maybe ,you can get some more food than just a single rabbit. You let out a long sigh and say, "Sure…I mean I'll… Come with you," you say in a soft voice that comes across more as of a whimper.
Lowtar chuckles and then gently sticks out his tongue to lick your muzzle teasingly." Good choice," he says jokingly before pulling back; the other liontaurs look at him uncertainly. It is evident they do not trust their leader's judgment. [It's not like their leader would have any ulterior motive to bring you along… Now would he?] He then stomps his front leg into the ground and then looks to both of them, silently telling them he's made up his mind and that you are coming with them." Now, this is Como," he says moving one of his hands to point at the male in purplish warpaint." And this is my brother Mordant," he says as the one in white face paint bows respectfully.
You bow respectfully back, as you do you get a good look at Mordent's front paw. It is scraped up and slightly bloodied. Then you notice right above his ankle there is a white paint in the symbol of a small eye with a slant through it. You think it might be a tribal tattoo but can not be certain. You raise your head up and look at Lowtar, "It's very nice to meet every one of you," you say casually. Lowtar wordlessly starts walking back with the others to the village. You look at all of them a little bit confused before you catch on that you are supposed to follow them. You walk with them for a good while, taking in the jungle around you. You hear several different types of birds tweeting and chirping throughout the treetops; you also see several squirrel-like creatures running and jumping along branches collecting what you can only gather to be some type of fruit. After about an hour of walking, you finally arrive at the village. To your surprise, there is a good handful of other Liontaurs walking about. The females wear only what seemed to be grass skirts and grass shirts covering up the private parts of their bodies.
The smell of things cooking over a fire smells even better up close. You close your eyes for a second and take a deep breath to inhale the warm and succulent smell as it fills your nose, you happily start rumbling just a little bit. You open your eyes again and see that Lowtar and his followers have gone a little ways away, you sprint towards them catching up to them rather quickly. Lowtar dismisses his followers by flicking one of his hands at his side. The other two quickly disappear, with his brother looking to you and saying, "Goodbye Madam." bowing a little bit as he moves before he too disappears. Once they are gone, Lowtar leads you into a small wooden building. He steps aside and lets you go in first. The building is just one single room; there is a pelt of some creature serving as a rug, what you would assume to be small bookshelf in one corner of the room, a fireplace at the far side of the room and what looks to be some kind of metal pot next to it. You carefully move inside, unsure because it was a new environment. Lowtar follows you inside and shuts the door before dominantly moving in front of you, bumping against you just a little bit.
"This is your home until you remember what events transpired. You shall stay here with me until then as you don't want any of the others to kill you for trespassing," he says with a low growl before moving in front of your face. "Now tell me, what is your name?"

Forgotten
You look to him, your head going down a bit as you feel confused. You close your eyes and try to remember. You come to a realization you do not remember your name. Whatever the genie did must have wiped your memory. You look up to him hesitantly and say." I… I do not remember my name is. It must be because of my amnesia," you say, uncertain if he will believe that or not.
To your surprise, he simply smiles at you and grabs one of your shoulders with his hand," Do not worry, things will come in time but until that point you are my guest. Now rest and relax, I shall get you something to eat." He then pushes you down a little bit, forcing you to lay flat on the ground. You look up and simply nod in response. He smiles back at you and disappears for a while leaving you with your thoughts. You began to realize the longer you stay in this form, the more and more you forget. You try to remember exactly what the shop you entered looked like before you found yourself in this whole mess. But now everything is fuzzy. You panic and grab one arm with the other kind of cuddling yourself. You close your eyes only to feel Lowtar shaking you a few moments later, in his hands is a bowl of some kind of broth.
He looks to you and says concerned, "Are you okay?” You shake your head at him and say, "No… It's just…" you hesitate for a minute and turn one of your hands into a fist, "it's just I can't remember anything and that… terrifies me," you say honestly feeling a few tears forming in your eyes.
Lowtar smiles at you and says, "Do not worry, some food and some sleep may do wonders for your head." He then hands you the bowl and leads you to in front of the fire. You both lay down together and eat. You feel the warm fire against your new coat of fur making you even more cuddly warm. You begin to drink your soup but to your surprise it is a rather flavorful brew, it tastes a little bit like sour cream though you have no idea what was actually in it.
You both eat for a while before Lowtar lays his head down on the soft animal pelt, quickly falling asleep. You watch him curiously, as he seems to trust you enough to fall asleep by your side. This man was strange sure, but honestly, you don't know if you felt safe around him, though he seems to be hospitable enough.
Do you lay with Lowtar and get some well-deserved rest, or do you try to sneak out of his home and see what else is around the village?

Explore
You look at the form in front of you. You watch as you see the light of the fire coat his upper half of his body in a soft pulsating orange glow. He looks so peaceful you think to yourself, nothing like that dominating figure who sized you up in the trap. You know, however, you will not be able to sleep; too much has happened, too much has changed. Your thoughts simply keep you up. You watch him for a moment ,' it will be better for Lowtar to sleep while you try and clear your head,' you comment to yourself before letting out a sigh.
You push yourself up, using your hind legs first, which are more powerful than your front. It takes you a second to steady yourself, as youare still not exactly used to having four sets of animal like limbs. You then move across the room and out Lowtar's door, your tail flicking behind you as you do. You go back out into the street and see other liontars hustling and bustling about the village. You are surprised that for a village of its size it is still so active, as if its size has anything to do with its level of activity. As you continue watching the activity, you notice that several liontars bring out colored pieces of fabric or cloth. Exactly what these are you can't be certain. Everyone seems to be moving back and forth between their homes and someplace off in the distance. Curiosity gets the better of you and you wander down the streets, in the direction everyone seems to be going.
After a few minutes of following the villagers, you come across a patch of land, where you see a large circle of trees, a rope tying them together in a circle. Three different colors of cloth, red, pink and yellow(maybe slightly orange) are tied on the rope. You look at the display quite curiously, equating it with some kind of celebration decoration.
As you stand there and watch, other liontaurs begin putting things in the middle of the clearing further cementing in your mind that this is some sort of decoration for a festival or something. You hear a chuckle behind yourself and feel a quick slap on the ass, a slightly less extreme version of a whip hitting you. Behind you is Lowtar's brother Mordant still wearing the war paint he wore earlier. "I see you have left my brothers company." He says teasingly as he comes up beside you, giving you a small smirk as he looks at you.
You look at him, your heart racing just a little bit in embarrassment You look down, staring at his paws; once again catching sight the tattoo of the eye he has on one of his ankles. You close your eyes for a second before saying "He went to sleep… I wasn't exactly tired, so I thought I'd have a look around,". You voice shakes a little as you wonder if you will be punished.
To your surprise, Mordant just laughs and says warmly, "It's okay, though I do hope you told him. He has known to have quite the… Intimidating temper,” Mordant says dancing around the words intimating temper as he didn't want to give you the wrong impression of his brother. When Lowtar is actually calm, he was quite pleasant to be around.
Your body locks up in fear, unmistakable to Mordant, though not to you. You then think for a second. "Yeah… I kind of got distracted by looking at everybody go out with colored flags… I probably should've to told him, but I was only planning to go on a short walk," you say stuttering just a bit.
Mordant looks at you and rolls his eyes playfully before he says casually "It's just the mating festival, nothing special. So are you going to attend tonight? I'm sure Lowtar would love to have such a beautiful female accompany him tonight," Mordant says clicking his tongue, unmistakably hitting on you just a little bit. You take a quick sniff of the air, and Mordant's pheromones in the air make you blush.
Mordant, on closer inspection , has just a little bit softer features than his brother; something was a lot less threatening about him you think to yourself. He seems nice after all. You move yourself a little closer to Mordant and look at him awkwardly, feeling just a little bit nervous around him now. "Do you really think I'm pretty?" You say stuttering a little bit, feeling a pitter pattering in your heart that you've never felt before.[Though you've never really been hit on as a male before so there's that.]
Mordant smiles at you and bows his upper body a little bit. "Of course, nice golden coat, nice beautiful amber eyes and a nice chest. The complete package," he says with a more overt lustful tone. He then stomps his front paw into the ground a few times deliberating silently on whether or not to say something to you. After a few seconds, he musters up his courage and looks at you with a lot less dominant attitude and overall posture than before. "Would you like to help me… decorate for the festival?" he says. His shoulders shift uncomfortably as if he is trying to brace himself for your rejection.
What do you do? Do you accept Mordant's invitation or do you go back to Lowtar who also seems to be quite… Interesting to this new feminine form you inhabit. Do you want to risk making him angry by flirting with his brother or do you?

Lowtar
You look at Mordant; you can't believe he just hit on you like that. You look down awkwardly, you don't know how to feel. You don't want to upset Lowtar, he is your friend even if he is a little dominant. You don't feel right betraying him. You know getting into a semi-flirty relationship with his brother will create bad feelings between the brothers and you don't want that. You close your eyes for a second and let out a sigh before raising your head back up in a dignified manner and say "I'm sorry, but I don't think that would be a good idea. I would have to tell Lowtar what's going on, or he might get the wrong impression," you say convincingly adding in a little fake smile. The smile may not have been a very good one mind you, but at least you tried to let Mordant down gently.
The male in blue warpaint looks at you, his expression obviously a little saddened by your rejection. He shakes his head slightly, puffs out some air and tries to appear not shaken by it your reply, "As you~wish my lady," he says as he bows respectfully at you. He quickly turns and heads over to some of the other lionesstaurs, not wanting to show you how truly bummed he is.
You watch him leave and you realize that you feel sad yourself. Your muscles relax. You hang your head down in a little bit of shame but you realize it couldn't be helped. You look down at the bright green grass beneath your paws. You start digging your new claws into the ground, pulling some of the grass up with them just a little bit as your claws yank the grass from its roots. You feel terrible for what you have done. You didn't want to kill a potential friendship with Mordant but you know if you started flirting with him Lowtar would never forgive you and he would be lost to you. You move over to one of the trees near the clearing and lay down next to it enveloped in its shade.
You wrap your front paws under you as you watch members of your fellow species. (Well, the species you are now. You will have to get used to that thought but at least you don't seem to need to worry about cold anymore.) After a short while, every pole in the celebration area has flags hanging from them. Some of he group starts to wrap the beams holding the flags in some other kind of cloth which you take as some kind of ribbon. The new colors are blue, green and what appears to be some kind of purple or maybe even black . It is hard to see the color of cloth as all of the pieces mix together in one candy cane like swirl.
You close your eyes and let out another sigh as you bring one of your paws that have fallen asleep in front of you. You realize you were going to hold your chin in your paw like when you were human. It was just then that you notice you also have a small white tattoo of a feline like eye on what would have been your when you were human. You look at it very very confused, what did that mean, was it the genies, mark? [No it couldn't be, it would mean you and Mordant were connected by something… could it?] You stare at it transfixed for a minute before something clicks into your head, Mordant was like you. He was a human once. This put your mind into overdrive. You begin wondering how many of your fellow liontaurs were transfigured, humans.
With that, you quickly get up, almost jumping to your proper posture before running back to Lowtar's home. You quickly run through the streets, almost not feeling the man-made road beneath your paw pads as you make your way through the small village towards his home, feeling as if you are floating on air.
You almost fly through Lowtar's door, sending it into the back wall with a loud crash. This causes Lowtar to jump to life , he turns and looks at you both groggily and concerned. His head sways just a bit as he tries to force himself into actual consciousness before he says in a slightly sleepy state, "What's the problem, has something happened?" Lowtar hurriedly pushes himself to a standing position, quickly moving over to you - a look of genuine concerned etched in his face.
You look at him painting quite heavily, a little bit of your tongue sticking out the left side of your mouth. Your amber eyes locked on to him excitedly before you say, "Your brother, where did you meet him, what happened. Are you is human too?" with a little bit of both fear and excitement in your voice.
Lowtar arches his brow and looks at you; his deep green eyes locking onto yours before he says, " what's a human?"
You look at him angrily as you borough your brow, crinkle your nose a little bit and scowl at him before saying in a breath filled with attitude, "A human! A man or woman who walks on two legs, the dominant species on earth!" You then flick out your tail in rage. You can't believe he is playing dumb. It occurred to you that he may not know about his brother's former life.
Lowtar looks at you, locks his shoulders pushing close to you and bars his fangs a little bit before he saying in a low growl of a voice. "Don't you snap at me. I have no idea what you're talking about, I've never seen a creature like that!" He releases a small roar.
You sigh and roll your head - a few tiny bones between your shoulders and your front legs click with the movement. You begin to move away from Lowtar before replying sadly in a soft voice, "Never mind… I guess you don't know. But now there are so many more questions." You still can't remember a lot about your past; you can't remember who you were, you can't remember your name, you can't remember your birthday, you can't even remember your mom's face. You move into a corner of Lowtar's home and kind of just collapsed. You lay your head against the soft wood floor and begin to sniffle.
Now everything is confusing, you don't know what to do. You feel as if you are beginning to lose yourself altogether. Lowtar looks concerned as he softly comes up behind you. He puts one of his front paws on your lower back looking at you sadly for a second before he says, "What happened out there, why are you so upset?" He lays down next to you giving you a look a parent might have when trying to comfort his child. He is doing his best to comfort you though it is clear he has no idea what to say.
"I can't… I can't remember anything, and I have that same tattoo on my… on my fore paw, your brother does, but I don't know why." You whimper as a few tears drip from your eyes and begin rolling down your cheeks.
Lowtar looks at you for a second then takes a minute to compose what he wants to say. "What tattoo?" he finally questions. He is confused. You look over to him through your slightly wet eyes, about to say something when you notice he had the same tattoo tool. This only makes you feel worse. "It doesn't matter… It really doesn't anymore; I think I… Got all the information I need," you say sadly. You lay there for a few seconds in silence just trying to regain your composure.
It is just then that you feel Lowtar's nose nuzzle you. He is trying to cheer you up, even if he isn't very effective at it. You notice his attempts to cheer you up and begin purring despite yourself.. After a few seconds, you roll over onto your side and hug him. You both lay there embracing and you feel better. You are unsure why but being this close to Lowtar makes you feel good, content. You move your head over to lay it on his forearm.
You snuggled with him for what felt like an eternity before he pushes himself up and looks at you saying, "I don't know what's got you upset, not really and I'm sorry you have forgotten your past. But I'm sure…." He then looks away before he wiggles his behind a little bit. “ I'm sure there's something we could do to… Make you feel better." He says with a smirk, the familiar scent of pheromones would start filling the small house. You have a pretty good idea of what he is after. You look up to respond to him and realize how good he looks. He does have more square chiseled features than his brother and there is an unmistakable physique of someone who muscled and strong. You find it oddly attractive. You look at him for a second feeling just a little hot and then turned your head away, feeling rather awkward. You can't deny there is something about him you like, something that is satisfying to look at.
[What will you do? Will you give into Lowtar's advances or will you deny him and wait for a better time?]

Festival
You take a second to compose yourself, Lowtar's pheromones begin to fill your nose. You feel the hot sensation between your legs felt when you Mordant made is move but this time it is stronger, more powerful. You close your eyes, lay your head back down against the wood floor, try to regain your composure and filter out the pheromones overwhelming your senses. After a few seconds of fighting your new hormones, you turn your head to look at him. You give him a soft gaze; your beautiful amber orbs gaze upon him.
He can see a shine in your eyes. You move your front paws in front of your and lightly scratch a circle the floor beneath you with one of your claws. You don't really know what to say as so many feelings are rushing inside your head fighting for the right to be what you actually blurt out. After you take another few seconds to compose yourself you look at him and say softly, "I think I know where you're going with this. However there is some sort of… Festival going on a little ways from here. I just met you - going to the festival could be fun," you say ending your sentence with a hopeful plea. You aren't exactly ready to create the beast with two backs with Lowtar but you couldn't deny you feel something for him. Something primal.
To your surprise, he looks at you and smirks before lifting one of his front paws above your head saying, " I was going to ask you to that anyway, but since a pretty girl like you asked me I would be foolish not to accept your request." He playfully bows his head a little bit towards you before holding out his paw, waiting for you to grab it. You look at Lowtar, furloughing your brow again as you try to inspect his face for any signs of deceit. Instead of feeling frightful or even cautious, you feel excited. Even when you were human you did not experience this kind of excitement.
You hold out your own paw for him and he wraps your paw around his own before pulling you up. Once he begins to pull you up, you feel light like a feather as he effortlessly pulls you up. You feel your muscles begin to stiffen as you stand up next to him. You give him a quick glance out of the corner of your eye and let out a slight giggle, something that you didn't plan to do nor really understand where it came from. You shake off the awkward tension and look to Lowtar giving him a small smile before saying more energetically, "Shall we go?" Your tail flicks behind you like a dog happy to see its master.
Lowtar chuckles back and says, “ladies first." He extends one of his paws and opens the door for you allowing you to pass out. You look at him a little surprised. You had heard the expression ladies first, you knew the tradition of men holding the door for women but when you it happens to you, you find it quite nice, flirty, sweet? You can't put words to your feeling but find it to be a genuinely nice gesture. You move out of the house and wait for Lowtar on the side of the street. Taking a second to look at him and again admire his nice strong body. You think to yourself, "Is this what it is like to be in love?” You couldn't really say for certain but you know you were feeling things you had never felt before and you don't really know understand why you do.
Lowtar comes out comes out after you and pulls the door handle with his tail, shutting the house. He moves in front of you and looks back to you with a smirk before saying in a dominant tone, "Come on; we probably should get there before it's dark." He turned his attention away from you and begins looking forward. You normally would be put off by such a command, but there is something ever so comforting about how Lowtar wants to lead the way. You simply nod and follow him back to the clearing. After a few minutes of walking you look to him and ask questioningly, "So… what is up with this festival? Your brother called it a mating festival." You go silent obviously, knowing what part of it was, but all the decorations and the customs were more interesting to you than the final event of the night.
Lowtar chuckles and looks back to you as you continue to walk to the celebration. "This time of year when the females enter heat and we all get together and choose partners. It is our custom that instead of being just romantic time between partners it has evolved into a celebration for everyone where we come to commune with family and friends before the ending the night. It's just festival to meet with your fellow kin and relax and have fun before going back to the common traditions of hunting-gathering and maintaining," Lowtar says in a natural voice. He is trying to be detailed for you so you can follow along because he realized that you obviously don't know any of this.
You let out a small sound as a reply. You think the tradition seems like a cross between Valentine's Day and Thanksgiving or at least some form of harvest celebration maybe? You couldn't say for certain, but you like the sound of it.
When you and Lowtar arrive, you realize that the party has already begun. There are lionestaurs in groups together talking amongst themselves. Over to one-side there is a large wooden table with carved statutes on it. From this far away it is difficult to determine their purpose or what they were really carved to resemble. Next to the table there are some wooden barrels. You put two and two together and realized they have some kind of drink for the night but you did not know if it is wine or some kind of fruit juice.
[Because fruit juice would be something inside these barrels when romance and passion is in the air.]
You follow Lowtar into the clearing where Mordant is chatting it up with a lionestaur. Just by looking at her face you can tell she really isn't into his conversation. Her body language displays her disinterest more than her occasional sound in responses to Mordant . Mordant is obviously desperately trying to win her over. After a few moments of conversation the lionestaur grows bored; rolling her blue eyes, walking away and kind of flicking her tail in Mordant's face in disgust.
Lowtar notices this and moves over to his brother putting one of his paws on his brothers shoulder. "I see Eileen rejected you again; I'm sorry brother," Lowtar says trying to comfort his little brother. Mordant lets out a sigh and hang his head down. After a pause he looks up at his big brother and in a very in a voice dripping with annoyance says, "She does every celebration; I can't say I really thought this time it would be the time I actually succeeded." Mordant takes a deep breath and huffs out before saying, "It can't be helped I guess… though I will mate one day." he says angrily before he notices you standing there.
He looks at you betrays his anger from earlier at your earlier conversation. He gives you a hostile look, though it doesn't appear as overly angry. He looks at you and says, "Hello again Miss, I see my brother got you to come to this thing. I hope you don't feel… intimidated your first time. I know some of the guys here can get a little… forceful when the night begins.” The younger lionestaur says pleasantly enough.
Lowtar looks at his brother before giving a chuckle. "She actually invited me; you're welcome to join us for a little bit while the girls get settled," Lowtar says trying to offer an olive branch to his brother who was so recently rejected.
His brother shakes his head abruptly saying, "No no no brother, thank you for your consideration, but you have a guest. I hope you guys have a fun night you and…" He then silences himself realizing he doesn't know your name. He then looks to his brother and puts his head close to his ear whispering trying to avoid saying something embarrassing to you in public. Lowtar simply says out loud. "I don't think she remembers." He then turns to you and gives you a look before saying. "Do you remember your name?" He says a little more than just casually concerned but not quite seriously worried.

New name:Serena
You think for a second; you legitimately do not remember your name. It is somewhat surprising that it doesn't seem to matter as you are starting to have more of a life here than you did at home. You think for a second, your eyes darting to the grass beneath you before you reply, "I don't remember my name… But I guess you can call me Serena. If I remember my real name, I'll tell it to you then." You give Lowtar and his brother a smile.
Mordant smiles back at you and says, "That's a nice name, Serena… I will leave you and my brother to it. May the spirits guide your heads and your hearts tonight,” he says as he bows. He turns to leave, but you grab his tail before he leaves and say hurriedly, "No, no stay with us. It's not going to hurt to have some friendly conversation… especially since you said, the party didn't start till later tonight anyway. It already looks like some of the guys are having their fun," you say with a little chuckle as you try to be friendly with Mordant.
Mordant slightly awkward as he looks at you and then looks to his brother. Lowtar gives Mordant a look that says it is all right. Mordant looks to you and says, "I'd be more than honored." You, Lowtar and Mordant go to a corner away from the other. Seconds of casual conversation turns into minutes and then minutes turn into hours. You all have a very good time together. Mordant gives you some foraging tips and tells you about some of the flowers lionestaurs gather for different medicinal remedies. He tells you that they really could use another herb bologist in their tribe. A role which you thought you could easily fill. You certainly aren't one for combat and when you tried to hunt you did catch the creature, but then someone caught you. Obviously, you aren't very aware of your surroundings.
After this conversation, you feel you this is a life that you can easily slip into. After cycling through a few more topics of conversation Mordant goes over to the barrels and gets the three of you some of the drink that was housed within them. He hands you and his brother the drink housed in simple wooden containers. You look at it for a second taking a small sniff. To your surprise it smells sweet, almost like some form of fruit punch. You stare at the drink for a few more seconds before taking a swig. A nice sensation would run through your body; it was a sweet sensation but also a warm one.
The taste is something you can only describe as a mix between some kind of grape and strawberry mixture. You hold the cup tighter in your paw and drink the whole thing in one go because you really really like it. Once you put your cup down from your face, you were panting quite heavily, making you look like an overjoyed animal. This causes both the brothers to laugh and Lowtar to put on hand over your paw and say, "I think Serena here would like another shot, my brother. She seems to enjoy it enough. "
Mordant chuckles and gets everyone another round. You have a few (more like 6) cups and you feel all nice and relaxed.
Later that night some lionesestaurs start singing some sort of tribal song as they dance around the fire. Seconds later a pair of males, adorned from top to tail with some kind of white body tattoos, join the the group song. A few other lionstaurs throw some chemicals or plants or something into the fire causing the flames to rise up and the very tips of the flames turn a slight pink color as everyone chants.
It was sometime during this song that you feel Lowtar grab your face and give you a passionate kiss. You let out a gasp as he kisses you, feeling his tongue invade your mouth. You hadn't thought about this; at least not since suggestive conversation earlier in the day. You feel his passion and of course the heat between your legs starts building again. You began purring lovingly as you start to kiss Lowtar back. After a few seconds of kissing him, the entire world falls away and all you feel is the movements of your tongues intertwining together. After a few seconds you pull away and started panting. He looked at you and put his fore paws on your shoulders pressing you down.
You fall onto your back and land with a soft thud. You feel very relaxed and instead of growling you chuckle and bring your mouth up to his then giving his cheek a lick. This causes him to start purring as well he as he nuzzles your cheek before he gives your lips a lick with his own tongue.
You know where this was going, and you like it. Tonight things actually feel right. Lowtar pulls his head away from you and gives you a goofy smile before saying in a sultry voice, "Where would you… I mean… Would you like to… have that fun now?”
You smile back at him but you don't know if you should just rush into things you. You only just met the lionestaur a few hours ago. Do you really want to do that you think to yourself. He could also reject you if you simply turned him down? This weighed heavily on your mind as you conjure up the courage to answer.
[What will you do, will you give into your passions and mate with Lowtar, or will you make him play the game and wait for you potentially turning him off?]

Back to his place
You look up at Lowtar and smile as you gaze upon his nice features. You catch sight of his soft green orbs. "How pretty," you think to yourself. You push down a bit of the saliva that rests in the back of your throat and then take a deep breath trying to think of the words to say to him. As you do, you can smell the slightly spiced air from the other party members throwing things into the fire. Added to this is the pungent smell, and affect, of the drink you just consumed, maybe a little too much of. You take a second to steel yourself before you say weakly, "Yeah… Where is customary?” trying to show Lowtar that you are ready. You don't want to offend him especially since you are brand-new to this culture. You want to mate, but you want to mate properly. Lowtar gives you a sly smile and lays down on top of you, once again and whispering in your ear, "Anyplace is fine, most people do right here but… You're a special lady. I'm willing to make an exception for you." His breath is hot in your ear which makes the inside of it tingle just a bit, and starts to make your lower region start to burn even hotter. Lowtar can feel your heat on the lower part of his body making his body tense for a fraction of a second before relaxing. He knows you are ready, but he is true to his word and he doesn't want to pressure you. You shift awkwardly underneath him and then push your head up to give his cheek a lick before you say in a shaky voice, "Why don't we… Why don't we go back to your place? We will have a little privacy between the two of us." You lay your head back on the soft grass and look at him wondering how he will take your request. Lowtar simply chuckles and says, "Whatever you wish my lady." He then moves down your body just a little bit and licks your chest, in between your bosom, causing you to let out a sound that is a mixture of a gasp and a moan. You hear Lowtar chuckle before he giving your chest three more licks before quickly getting off you.
You try and stand, your legs feeling like gelatin, because of your arousal and because of all the drink you have consumed. You take a moment, holding your arms out at your sides as you tried to steady yourself. Both Mordant and his brother look at you with slight concern before you catch your balance. Mordant comes over to you and grabs your side before saying, "You okay there Serena?" You look at him and give him a soft smile and nod. He lets you go, and Lowtar starts leading the way towards his hut.
As he leads you away from the gathering and back to his residence you can't help but catch yourself paying maybe a little too much attention to his backside. You enjoy watching it swing back and forth. You feel a mixture of butterflies in your stomach and a tensing adrenaline.
[I guess you could say you really can feel the love tonight.]
It takes you only a few minutes to arrive at Lowtar's residence; you feel as though you are floating on air. Lowtar gets in front of you, giving you one more good look at his posterior before he opens the door to his abode. He bows slightly and chuckles, "Ladies first." He smirks at you and lets you pass into his hut. You bow to him and give him a playful smile of your own before saying, "Thank you, kind sir." You laugh softly as you make your way into his home, making sure to brush the tip of your tail over his nose. Lowtar laughs and quickly nips at the tip of your tail, without actually catching it in his teeth, before following you inside. He wraps his tail around the door handle and pulls it shut. He takes a deep breath and puffs it out, trying to relax his pounding heart. You can see by looking in his eyes that he wants you desperately. His attempt to restrain his more animal instincts both pleases and excites you. Lowtar saunters in front of you and takes a few minutes to re-light the fire, giving you time to mentally prepare yourself. However instead of calming you this only makes you more excited. Never before have you wanted something as badly as you want Lowtar now. You can feel your heart pounding in your chest. It almost feels as though it will jump straight out of yur chest. You roll your shoulders and lie down in front of the fire trying to keep your composure and not immediately jump Lowtar.
Lowtar joins you a few seconds later moving over to your left side before he looks at you and gives your cheek a long lick. "Are you… ready?" he asks hesitantly. He smells your arousal and you can really smell his. You look away from him submissively. Your brain is screaming, "Say yes! What are you waiting for? Do it!" You turn back to face him and give him a soft smile before saying. "I think so…"
Lowtar looks at you and gives you a soft smile before he gives you a passionate kiss and begins purring. You kiss him back letting out soft moans as you start to explore each other's mouths with your tongues. You have never felt this good before; it was as if the universe had just filled you with warmth and passion. When the two of you stop kissing, both of you are panting. As Lowtar pulls away you can even see a string of saliva connecting the two of you. Lowtar looks at you before he stands up for a moment then he quickly pushes you onto your back and gets on top of you. You let out a gasp of surprise as you feel his weight land gently on you. You look up to him giving him a come-hither stare. He laughs as he begins to lick your neck. You let out loud moans as you feel Lowtar's scratchy tongue move passionately up and down your neck sending shivers down your spine. You hear Lowtar's sounds of pleasure as he licks you. Actions start to blur together and you lose track of yourself time and space as you and Lowtar experience bliss as one.
The next morning you wake up to the sun gently lighting the floor through the open window across the room. You let out a loud yawn and stretch your hands over your head. As your nose embraces the morning air, you smell the unmistakable scent of mating. As you think on the night previously, you feel all warm and fuzzy again. You begin purring happily and look over your shoulder. You see that Lowtar is curled up next to you, his head in your shoulder.
What do you do, do you wake him and start your day proper or do you let him sleep and try and do something nice for him like make a meal for the two of you?
Written by kamenriderfire on 25 November 2017
Meal
You let out a loud yawn, stretch your arms out in front of you, flex your fingers and let your claws come out as you stretch. You look over to Lowtar and smile as you see his body rise and fall with each tiny breath. You push your face forward and give his forehead a small kiss before getting up. You push yourself up and stretch, bringing your lower body down to the floor and raising your backside up into the air. You hear a few small clicks in your back but you are still loose and relaxed from the night before. You look around Lowtar's home and smile inwardly, this place wasn't so bad. Sure, there isn't a lot of leg room and there were aren't many books or other things you can really do to entertain yourself but was nice and cozy. You can see yourself living here. You can see yourself snuggling up to Lowtar every night.
You move over to Lowtar's cooking station. You prepare a simple stew for him. He wakes up thanks to the smell of your food, you bring some over to him. He smiles at you, making you feel all tingly inside, though in a different way than last night. There is no other way to put it, you felt happy. You lay down next to Lowtar bringing your own a bowl of stew with you. As you lay down next to him he wraps his tail around your waist and pulls you in closer. You let out a little yup though as you look at him with a playful smirk, "So what's on the agenda today?” you ask. Lowtar looks at you and then at his stew. He grabs the spoon and spins the liquid around in it a few times before saying in a nonchalant manner, "I guess… we figure out where you fit into the tribe." You look at him and then click your tongue to the roof of your mouth. "I guess, I guess I'd rather do something more gathering based then hunting based. I don't think I'm fast enough for that," you say softly. Lowtar looks back at you and says, "That's okay, for the most part the males hunt around here. There are a few females who come along with us occasionally, but they are rare breeds," he says smiling trying to reassure you.
You look away from him, unsure how to respond. Even if he is telling the truth about the females you still felt insignificant because you aren't a very good hunter. Lowtar looks at you and licks your cheek before saying, "Don't worry Serena, there are lots of things you can do. You can try sewing, you can collect herbs and spices to enhance our meals. You can work at taking care of cubs, you could try and find an entertainment job." The mention of cubs throws you. You knows he was talking about children of course but the idea still mades you feel uncomfortable. "I don't think I'd be very good at that… I've never been good at the whole nurturing thing," you say. You remember vague shadows of your past, though most of your mind has been wiped.
Lowtar kisses your cheek and says, "Don't worry, we will find something for you to do. Why don't you and I go out and try and figure out where you fit in eh?” he says before standing. He walks to the door before you even have a chance to respond. You quickly get to my feet and follow him out into the tribe.
Lowtar shows you around town and you try to figure out what job you could take in the tribe. You both think you should look into herb gathering first as that would be something fairly easy you could do. Lowtar takes you out into the fields and starts pointing out different herbs and plants that are good to cook with but would also be good for medicinal salves. However, as you explore with him you begin to feel stupid as you can't tell most plants apart. Lowtar shows you examples of good plants and bad plants but most of them look identical to you. You could accidentally poison someone if you aren't careful. You tell him that maybe another job would be best for you. He lets out a sigh but agrees.
Lowtar leads you back into the village and takes you to Elise, old lioness with long silver. The lioness starts to show you her weaving machine. It is a giant wooden structure with two wooden bars in the middle. She starts to work on it as an example for you, and what I witnesses I can only describe as a pair of invisible spiders weaving a delicate of colors as the lioness starts making a small blanket. Elise is about halfway through her pattern when she offers you a chance to try weaving. You look at Lowtar unsure. You feel butterflies crashing around in your stomach. Lowtar and Elise encourage you to try the machine. You sit down and begin to weave. You go slowly so you do not to mess up her pattern. However after a few minutes it starts to feel natural. You start to really pick up the motions and your hands move up and down in and out as you weave the fabric. It feels strange but natural. It clicks in your my brain unlike anything you have experienced before.

The next few weeks
Over the next few weeks you work with Elise honing your skill. Not only do you have a job in you enjoy but are have become a contributing member of the tribe. You find you love working as a weaver. The shop is a place you can go to be away from Lowtar. It is a place you can just be yourself and work. It doesn't even feel like work, it feels soothing and relaxing. You stay in the weaving station for many hours almost every night, just weaving and thinking about what you and Lowtar will do now that you are mated. Late one night Elyse is about to leave but instead she comes to you. She puts her soft slender fingers on my shoulder, she looks at you right in the eye and says, "Don't you think you should be calling it a night Serena, especially with your added load," she says with a soft smile. You look at her curiously, arching your brow as you say questioningly, "My extra load, what do you mean?" Elyse lets out an earthy chuckle before she says, "You are funny my dear." You start look at her and begin to feel slightly angrily. "What is funny, what do you mean?" you say thinking that the elder lioness is hinting that you have gotten fat since you weren't hunting. She looks at you and says, "My dear, your breasts have gotten bigger since I've known you. You have a little belly sweetheart." She is trying to break the news to you carefully even though you are still unaware of what she is trying to say.
You look at her for a second about to ask your question before it clicks into your brain. You look down at your belly and place your hands over it. You suddenly feel that though you have gotten hit the wind knocked out of you and find it hard to breath. Slowly the idea begins to take root and you rub your belly with one of my hands finding that it was not belly fat but something else. You look down at your belly, your mouth hangs open and your eyes go wide. The realization hits you, you are pregnant with Lowtar's cubs. A mix of emotions overwhelm you. You are happy, sad and terrified all at the same time. You look over at Elyse and hug her before you start to cry gently on her shoulder. The overwhelming emotions are just too much for you to take in. Elyse wraps her arm around you and says, "Congratulations my dear. If I may, I would suggest that you stop taking so many night shifts." Elyse laughs playfully as you continue cry onto her shoulder. Finally, you pull away and give her a water but happy look, tears still rolling down your checks. You sniffle and say, "Yeah… I guess." Elyse moves out of your way and you start to leave the building. As you leave she says,"Good night my dear and once again congratulations."
You rush out of the weaving station absolutely ecstatic. You feel how wonderful the your new life has become. me starting something wonderful. As you stand outside the weaving factory you look up at the sky and see that the moon is already out. You know Lowtar will be asleep, so what do I do you wonder to myself. Should you wake him up now, and tell him the wonderful news or wait untill morning and maybe take him out someplace romantic and tell him?
Written by kamenriderfire on 27 November 2017
Take him out
You stand in one of the pathways between the weaving station and Lowtar's home, digging your claws into the dirt trying to think of what to do. Never in 1 million years did you think you could get pregnant. That is the problem; you didn't think or didn't want to think of this possibility. You close your eyes, let out a sigh and take a minute to adjust center yourself trying to keep your emotions intact.
After thinking about this for some time, you realize that something this big and life-changing needs to be treated very specially. You walk back to Lowtar's home skipping just a bit as your excitement overwhelms you. You have your hands on your belly, your fingertips gently stroking along it as you reinforce in your brain that new life is growing inside of you.
You push your way into Lowtar's home; the big wooden door lets out a slight squeak. You jump because you are afraid the noise will wake Lowtar. You quickly look at the sleeping figure and relax just a bit as you see he is asleep. "My mate," you repeat to yourself in your head. You look at his sleeping form for a second before you lay down next to him and begin purring. You gently try and wrap your tail around his waist. You lay there thinking about what you want to do. You want to make your announcement an event. Obviously, you would always know when you got pregnant, but you also want Lowtar to be able to remember it always as well. You close your eyes and try to sleep, though as you drift in and out of consciousness, you think of your plan to surprise your mate. You think you would take him back to spot where the festival was held. You would pack a huge basket filled with a variety of edible treats. You smile to yourself before you fall asleep.
You wake up the next morning, the sun coaxing you to wake up by shining almost directly upon you. You lift your head up, and let out a groan and then begin to rub the sleeping sand out of your eyes when you remember what you are planning to do today. You push yourself up and look around wondering if your mate is still asleep. You spy his form and smile. You move around his home and begin to pull things together in one of his baskets. You take a few of Lowtar's dried meats and even some of his fruits and stuff them into the basket. You think of other things Lowtar might like and make a sizable spread for the meal. Since this was is such a special occasion you aren't against using some of your earnings to buy some nice warm bread for your event. You close the basket and make sure to lock the locks before you even attempt to pick it up. You feel the weight of the basket pull you down just a little bit I let out a puff of air before gripping the handle tighter.
You walk towards the door to leave when you pause and glance at Lowtar one more time. You smile before lightly pulling the door closed with your tail. Once outside you take a deep breath and close your eyes. After you take a moment to center yourself and head towards the bakers. You take a few minutes to find the perfect bread for the picnic. You decide to go with a nice slightly sweet filled crust thinking that Lowtar might enjoy the slight sweetness as a form of dessert.
You pay the baker, take your filled bread and put it in your basket. As you start to turn, you feel a hand touching your shoulder. You turn abruptly and smile as you see Lowtar's brother, Mordant, smiling back at you. He bows his head and says. "Good morning Serena, I see you are buying sweetbread, what's the occasion?" He says cheerfully with just a hint of something spicy on his breath. You bow your head back respectfully and say. "Lowtar and I are going on a date tonight; I'm getting him something special."
Mordant looks at you happily but raises a brow and looks away remembering something. "You two are going on a date tonight? I just saw him, and he was going out to the hunting grounds," Mordant says with a bit of question in his voice. You look at Mordant, and your happy expression falls away. You are both saddened and annoyed that your mate is going hunting. As good as Lowtar is he generally is gone several hours when hunting. You let out a sigh, close your eyes to disguise the sadness, you are sure Mordant would see in them.You then casually say "Well… We were supposed to do something together so if you see your brother… Let him know that I'm waiting for him okay?" you say before turning away from Mordant. Mordant nods his head and says, "Sure Serena… I can do that; I hope the two of you enjoy your date."
You give Mordant another polite nod and head back to Lowtar's home. As you walk towards his home, you feel more and more sadness hanging over you weighing you down. Of course, Lowtar didn't know that you were planning this, of course, he didn't know your big news, but you still felt sad all the same. It wasn't the coin you spent to get him something nice; it was that you might not be able to tell him until tonight or maybe even tomorrow it depending on how long it took him to hunt.
You look into my basket as you walk to Lowtar's home. You realize that once you got it home, you would need to warp up to try and keep it warm for him. Even if it were just lukewarm, it wouldn't be coin thrown away.
Then an idea hit you; you could go find your mate. You could go into the hunting lands and tell him to stop hunting and then maybe you could go on your date. You know it would be dangerous, but you could tell him right away instead of staying at home and waiting for him and hoping to keep everything warm.

Find him
You stop in place as you consider your options. You let out a sigh and begin to sink your claws into the ground. You try to remember where the hunting ground is from here. You need to do this; you need to find Lowtar, this is too important to let it wait until tomorrow. The announcement of birthing your own child. [Or children, who knows Lowtar's garden may be plentiful... Just saying.] You lock your shoulders in place, rolling them just a little bit. You push your body lower to the ground and take a deep breath. You feel the air filling your body and the moment you feel you have enough breath you take off in a powerful sprint towards the hunting grounds.
You run at what feels like the speed of light. Instead of being scared you feel exhilarated, almost as if your body was filling with the adrenaline from the thrill of the hunt, but this time you are hunting for your mate instead of your next meal. The staccato of your heart beats faster as you race past to the two giant ornately carved wooden posts that signify the boundaries of the village. You know the general location of the hunting grounds but it is a vast area, and you realize that Lowtar could be hunting just about anywhere.
It takes you only a few minutes before you arrive at a watering hole, the giant pool of water glistening in front of you. You look around and notice animal tracks. They smell of equine-esk animals your people hunt. You know that if Lowtar were out here, he would probably go after the pack animals.
You take a quick drink from watering hole, keeping your ears open and alert for any sign of movement. You think you hear either Lowtar or his prey moving around you. Unfortunately, you are not that lucky. You let your tail droop a little bit behind you and gracefully turn around. You look down the tracks, being careful not to cover over them with your own paw prints. You are not a master tracker nor hunter, but you could be. The males primarily do hunting, but there are some exceptional female huntress in the tribe so if they could do it why couldn't you? You think to yourself.
You put your nose to the ground and try and capture the scent of the creatures. You bring your head up and try to visualize the creatures whose scent you are tracking. Once you feel you've got a good lock on their scent you push your legs down into the ground and begin charging again. You run far, darting in and around trees, going as fast as your legs can carry you. After a few minutes of trying to follow the scent, you come across the slight brown and orange equines. You observe them grazing for a moment searching for your mate among their ranks or trailing somewhere behind them.
After a few seconds, you hear some rustling in the bushes slightly away from the herd. A smirk forms on your face, and you charge towards the buses. You jump up into the air and try to land in the bush. A loud scream emanates from underneath you. You land with a heavy thud. Once on the ground, you see you are successful in catching the target of your own. You see your mate under you. You put your face to his cheek and begin to nuzzle him. Lowtar looks up at you with a slight disbelief arching of his brow and a “what the heck” kind of expression. You giggle and continued to nuzzle him for a second before you say in a soft voice, "Lowtar shhhh, this is important." You let out a sigh and pull your face away from him before saying, "I wanted to tell you… Last night but you were asleep and… I spent the morning trying to get things ready only for you to come out here."
Lowtar looks at you and lets out a sigh of his own. His soft green orbs look at you, still quite angry and annoyed that you messed up his perfectly planned hunt. Finally, he asks,"Fine my love… What's your news?"

Take him away
You look at him for a second before you say, "Let's get out of the hunting ground and… I'll tell you. I've got things planned out already." Lowtar looks at you and lets out an annoyed grunt before saying, "Why can't you just tell me here."
You begin to growl in the bottom of your throat, letting him know you are not going to get pushed on this matter. "Come on; we need to do this right." You get off of him and move your tail with an authoritative flick. You watch him closely, impatiently waiting for him to get up.
Lowtar looks at you and rolls his eyes before he pushes himself up and bows his head as a silent signal to tell you to lead the way. You turn to look at him giving him a soft smile. You lead Lowtar back to the village. He automatically turns towards home. You follow him, but as soon as you reach the hut, you grab your basket full of the items for your picnic. Before clicking your tongue to the roof of your mouth, Lowtar snaps his attention to you. "We're not staying here; we are going out.
Lowtar looks at you and growls a little bit, more in annoyance than trying to make you stand down. "Will you please, please, please just tell me where we're going, love?" You look at him and shake your head giving a little giggle before you head towards the planes where the festival was held.
When you arrive at the planes, you look around for a second, trying to find a good spot to spread the picnic. After the small bit of searching, you see an area that is shaded over by a lovely big tree. You let out an excited giggle. The anticipation of telling Lowtar your news makes you feel amazing. You quickly rush over to the tree with the basket in your hand but unbeknownst to you, you are charging almost at hunting speed. Lowtar looks at you quizzically for a second before he charges over to the tree as well. You set the basket down and begin to unload the food onto a knitted blanket. You set out a few cuts of the meat and the sweet bread you bought earlier. Once this is done you look at Lowtar and smile before saying, "Sit down." You point to a spot across from you, almost ordering him to sit down and coming off maybe a little harsher than you expected.
Lowtar looks at you, noticing your excitement. He is not too thrilled with the way you have completely taken him on a wild ride without offering any explanation. He lets out an annoyed grunt and sits down looking more like a pampered pooch more than a grown liontaur. You sit down across from him and begin eating. You don't say anything for a few minutes while you eat and drink, savoring your secret and trying to build up the anticipation. Lowtar asks, after almost every bite, what the big secret is but you remain silent. Lowtar begins to relax and enjoy the picnic.

Tell Him
After you feel he's sufficiently relaxed, you smile and say softly almost teasingly, "So there was…a reason I brought you out here."
Lowtar looks at you and says, slightly arching his brow as he does, "Yes I know. I have been waiting for you to tell me your news." You go quiet for a moment and look down to your plate. You close your eyes and let out a slight sigh as you feel the butterflies in your stomach start to build once again. You take a moment to calm your nerves before saying, "Lowtar… I love you-you know that right?" your voice slightly breaking as you try to contain your excitement.
Lowtar looks at you with a slightly frightened expression, thinking that you are going to say you were cheating on him, you are breaking up with him or some other terrible surprise. You simply laugh a bit when you see his worried expression. You can contain your secret no longer and blurt out, "LOWTAR I'M PREGNANT!" You beam happily. Finally telling him your surprise lifts a giant weight feeling off your shoulders. Lowtar looks at you, his eyes going wide and his jaw slightly hanging open for a second. Words do not even come to him for a good few seconds before he quickly stands up abruptly and jumps over your little picnic spot and comes over to you and hugs you tightly before saying, "That's… That's amazing!"
Lowtar pulls your head upwards him before giving you a chance to respond. You feel his lips press into yours as he gives you a passionate kiss. Time seems to stop, and you feel as though you are floating, nothing exists but the two of you. Passion and excitement take over, and you end the kiss panting heavily but still hugging Lowtar, delirious in the knowledge that you are pregnant with his cubs.
You spend the next few hours after your excitement calms down eating your food. You talk about your plans for the future and discuss names for a cub or cubs. Lowtar is already talking about places he would like to take the cubs. He talks about someplace far away called the Windy Cliffs. He says that if you sit in the right spot on the cliffs you can you could hear faint singing in the distance. At least that's what his father always said.
During this discussion, you both share and enjoy the sweet roll. It's creamy filling fuels your energy and gives you a little bit of a happy sugar rush. You and Lowtar talk late into the night before you head home.
You wrap your arms around Lowtar and fall asleep purring happily feeling as if you belong entirely to this tribe.
