Sakda and two random lionesses.
BACK ********* NEXT
All other lionesses except Ishaa and her huntresses remained with the sleeping males. She informed other pristress that she would performed the punishment by herself.
“You’re free lions aren’t you?” Ishaa asked Sakda after he woke up from his slumber of triedness. It took a while for him to adjust his sight. What he saw was many lioness surrounded the. Ishaa kneeled down talking with him.
“Always” answered Sakda Yawning, shaking his dark brown mane, signifying his male prowess. Partly he gladded his act of disobedience had triggered something.
Sakda woke Arthid and Hema saying “we’ve got company” They woked up and yawned. Wher the saw what he saw, they realized this was the end of their plan. “A lot of them” Arthid said “What you’re up to ladies?”
“Didn’t you know that you violated your role as slaves, you can’t work on a land and own it. You own nothing. We own you” Ishaa said calmly. She too, awed by their unyielding attitude, wanted to see how far those male could get with their stubborness, how long would it took for them to capitulate. From the first day, she notice some seed of unsubmissiveness, but she didn’t thing it would gone this far. At last, she think, no matter how stubborn the male, they will summit. It’s only the matter of time.
The lions took a while to answer her, they shook their mane, stretch, yawn, and groomed themselves “We are not slaves, no more” answered Sakda “Now we worked on this field and we own it, it’s your people’s law right, that we’re citizens now not slaves”
“Well, I’m quite impressed with your struggle” Ishaa said standing up “and also with how you corrupted one of our pristress. I’m giving you one of a kind chance for you are free spirit, the lions which would never be tamed. What if I give you a chance to run, getting away from here. Will you accept?”
To their surprise, they didn’t think they would hear such words. Letting the lions away was the last thing that would happend in this land. The lions stopped grooming themselves and listened attentively.
Ishaa was not a fool. She had a plan to teach the lions some lesson and tame them to be obedient slaves. Since their spirits were strong and not gave away so easily, unconventional approach was needed. Her thought was to let them face despair by themselves. Let them knew there was no other chioce but being slaves. “But with one condition” She exclaimed “Our huntresses will come for you. If you can get away from them, you’re free, if not you will be captured and enslavesd, and I assured you, your next slave experience will be far worse than this if you still rebels.”
Arthid looked to his friends one after the other “This maybe the only chance we will get out of here. What do you say, Sakda , Hema”
Sakda nodded “This is a indulging chance indeed. I afraid they will not let us get away easily. All of this is strange. They let us leave all of a sudden, there must be something behind it” he was skeptical to this offer. The lioness wouldn’t take them this far just to let them run away. Carefully he think, all the disobedience he’d done would be futile if he didn’t accept this chance. Declination meant he wanted to stay here rather than ran and that would be contrary to all his rebel. They gave him no choice at all, he had to go or they would definitely consider him as willingly be their slave.
“Are we really leaving?” Said Hema. He was reluctant whether he would see Swari again. But he admitted this was the worst place to be, he will have no freedom what so ever. Instead if he took this chance to get away with his friend.
Sakda inturned tried of his indecisiveness “There will be no better chance than this. If we stay, it stated clear that we willingly be their slaves. we will be humiliated just like it always happen here. If we run we’ll have a chance of escape. even when we’re captured Thing can’t go so bad. They’re going to need us anyway”
“All right, Sakda, Arthid, you two are my friends. Whatever happened, we’ll be together”
With deternaimation Sakda announced “We’re leaving and you will never see us again”
Ishaa smiled. She knew she would get them and had her ultimate plan to tame them aferward “We will let you go freely till dusk and then our huntresses will go find you. If you all think you’re good enough, prove it, go as far and fast as you can, away from our huntresses. Starting now. You can take nothing ”
Three of them stood up and walked away, Sakda left his last words “You’re all sick minded” He said to the lioness as he walked pass Ishaa. She in retuned, said “Do your best, lions, for there’s no escape”
Standing there with Ishaa a huntress named Jiti, she was a sleek lioness in her best shape, pale fur and wearing black hunting suit, carring a bow and a quiver full of arrows. She was a skilled huntress usually leading her band for big games. Her upcoming game were not like any game she’d hunted ; this time it will be lions she hunt. “Don’t you see how stubborn they are” Ishaa talked to Jiti “Do you think you can track them down and capture them”
With Jiti’s stern face and voice she replied “Of course mistress, they will be an easy target, those are urban lions, they know nothing about surviving in the wilderness” She go checked with her crews and equipment a bit, making sure they were all ready. “When do we started?” She asked Ishaa.
“in an hour or two, you can go early, make sure to give them no rest, make them run in despair and giving up by themselves. You have to tame them before bringing the back here. Don’t be soft hearted, do everything you can to make them submit . That lion, Sakda, he’s free spirited and will not be easily tamed. He rebels whenever there’s compulsion. Contrarily, Hema the white lion, he’s so indulged with females. His spirit is already here. I have not much idea though on that mysteriour big boy, Arthid, but I think if his friends are broken he would do too“ Ishaa said
Jita sighed, taking cinnamon bark from her pocket and started chewing “That would be the hard part, having no mercy, anyway my first part is to hunt them. I’ll stick with that, just another game”
Meanwhile The lions were half walking half running out of the city. Due to it’s lack of residential life, the city was usually silent, but there they heard many approaching chatter and footsteps. Sakda stopped walking and gestured his friends to do so “Do you hear that” They looked back, seeing a band of lioness wearing black clothes quite far away. Suddenly Sakda felt like his heart stop beating and then pacing up again rapidly. Was this the feeling of the prey about to be hunted, he asked himself “It’s them, we better run!” He whispered keeping his voice as low as possible.
They ran as fast as they can to escape from the miserable fate to come if they were caught. They didn’t know where where they running but it was deep in the forest. after a rushful moment of no cue of how long has passed excepted the sky was going darker and darker The three lions ended up in the middle of lush greenish meadows. they heard no incoming.
Three lions panted deeply, Arthid said “I think we’re safe for now”
“We direly need water” Said Sakda, he recalled they took nothing with them not even a sac of water. “I think we need to keep on moving until we find some”
Walking through the jungle in dim dusk light, slowly they proceeded, due to their triedness. In his mind Sakda thought the situation was getting worse, they had lost freedom, but now with his decision would they lost their life too. He had few idea of how to survive in a wilderness, especially here the land he hardly know. Only if he had some equipment , maybe it was better. Was it his bad decision that make them ended up in this position.
“I’m sorry Hema” Sakda said, they walk hours, the sky was getting dark and they found no cue of water “If I didn’t forced you to come, You should have had stayed there with that lovely lioness Swari, not having to suffere like this”
Hema loved his friends as well as the lioness. but the thought of Arthid and Sakda leaving without him would be unbearable, so he’d decided to come with them in the first place “Don’t blame yourself Sakda, I’m doing this on my own, I cannot let you two go without me”
A moment later Through the calmness of the forest, even a slight sound of flowing water would be noticable. With his keen ears Sakda heard fainted splashing sound not faraway “Wait, I hear something, there maybe water nearby. This way” He lead the group to the direction of the sound. They became lively again. The only thing they need at the moment is something to drink and rest”
As he’d expected. A small creek was nearby. Three lions kneeled and bent their body down to drink the cold and refreshing water.
“We rest here” Said Sakda “Tomorrow we can get to the port where we landed, There maybe one ship that can get us out of here”
They rested on a rock not far away, stacking side by side of each other ; because the night was cold and they have no other cloth or blanket, except their lioncloth. The only warmth they can find is eachother’s.
