The huntress roared as she heard the crocodile's alpha sneer at her and the growing ranks of the lions. Her hackles raised and she crept to the edge of the water, where small yellow dots were almost invisible. "Us, the pathetic idiots?" She called back, tail lashing. "Why, you did not respond to our alpha!" (Actually, I am not sure what the leader of a pride of lions is called, but I'm just gonna go with alpha and totally not be a wolf pack ._.)
She glared out at the other crocs, basically invisible among the mud and reeds. She flicked her tail again, a minute sign of aggression and dominance.
(Would that mean I joined group 1 then?)
Zaire lifted up his top jaw, his mouth and nose inhaling the scents of the mangy creatures and sneered slightly, knowing that his extensive group were now hidden in the depths. "If you're going to be so smart," he replied curtly, "They why don't you devise some scheme to attack us?" before slinking into the depths, even his large, odd-shoulders being easily hidden in the murky, swirling river.
Huntress
The lioness sniffed as a new, unfamiliar scent caught her nose. It was different from the mud-like smell rolling off the crocodiles. It smelled... delicate. Almost. She shook her head, clearing the idea. She had to focus.
Her hackles rose as the crocodile of which she presumed to be the leader. She yelled out to them anyways. "Why do you think I have not waltzed right into your waters? I know what you do to Elementals and any other creature." She flicked her tail in disdain. "I may be just a pride hunter, but I know a trap when I smell one." The gathering ranks growled in agreement. "But it appears as if we are at a stalemate. You will not get out of the waters, because we will slaughter you on land and we will not get in the waters because then it will be us who will be slaughtered. I propose a truce for the day." The huntress glanced at the sun overhead and groaned. The sun was on its last cycle before it disappeared for the moon's path. She shook her fur and called out, "So?"
(Thanks! If it gets to be a problem some how... well... I don't know. I kinda feel like I'm breaking my own guide, but I didn't really know how lion prides work... so I guess I'll add two more dominant males in the pride. :3 )
Ariana started watching the scene unfold with a slight smirk. Night was approaching, and god forbid anyone should get in her way then if they had any will to live.
Zaire kept silent, he was under the waters but could hear clearly what this huntress had to say. He could be ruthless and aggressive beyond all belief, but his group came first and looking at his members, he could tell that grief filled the waters, one of their members were down and their mate had swam off to camp in her distress. There was no need to continue.
With an upwards swim, his bony shoulders launched through the air, followed by his large head and gleaming, sly eyes. "It seems as if we have a deal." he grumbled, his voice deep and growling, as if he showed hesitation to their rules. If they think me and my group are monsters, then let them believe it. he thought bitterly, before growling again, "But know that you or your kind are not welcome in our waters. I am willing to propose a truce for a longer time, but if you are so desperate for only a pathetic one-day truce, then you are welcome to one. Just know that our kind will not stand for your ignorant trespassing if you do so in that time." With a last glower, he submerged himself back into the depths where he and his group waited for them to leave.
Huntress
The lioness huffed. The lion ranks were up to about ten, and growing steadily. The animal inside her battled the Elemental cunning. It roared at her to jump into the lake and kill as many as she could. That would be suicide, as she well knew. With a flick of her tail and a swift order barked, the lions withdrew from the clearing and hurried back into their territory.
"Well," She muttered to herself, getting up and stretching. "Can't pass up one like that."
And with a flick of her tail she had melted into the murky shadows, stalking the lion pack from a safe distance. She'd find a way to approach the lioness alone eventually, but for now...
Sheera (Huntress {Look below!})
Sheera's tail lashed as she retreated into the forest. She was still annoyed at the crocodiles, no matter how much distance she put between herself and those... monsters. Her common sense pleaded with her to calm down, but she brushed it aside.
For the first time in ages, she felt a call to her element, water. She let it come forth and sapped the air of its moisture. A tiny slice of water swirled around her and she slashed a tree. A thin line was left in the wake of the water. Sheera dismissed the water, and it soaked back into the ground.
Her shoulders shaking and her mind screaming bloody murder, she entered her territory.
Ghembo
Ghembo strained his ears at the sound of the lioness stalking through the bramble. The other lions melted into existence around her, like demons or shadows. Ghembo frowned; none of them looked injured or hurt in any way.
He bounded forward, and the lioness glanced up, then averted her eyes in respect. "What happened?" Ghembo asked.
"Nothing. In the end, a truce was in order.
Ghembo felt a twinge of anger at the lioness; she was a water Elemental and could take down some of the crocodiles or at least move their water. He shoved it down. "I'm glad it came to a peaceful resolution."
The lioness jerked her head towards the ball of roots and branches. "What's that?"
Ghembo shrugged. "A project of mine." He realized that the human would be waking up soon and dipped his head in respect before sprinting away from the other lions, the ball in tow.
After he could barely catch a faint whiff of his pride, he opened up the ball and hoped to see the human awake.
(With Ariana's interest in the Lioness, I figured I'd make an actual character for her! ^^)

Character Name: Sheera
Gender: Female
Personality: Sheera has learned to take things seriously, and is rarely carefree. Her stiff personality earns her few friends but many enemies. She gets irritated easily and expects everyone to be a follower; to her, of course. She was born a leader, but the fact that she was female kept her from becoming one of the alphas of the pack. She is ruthless and rarely opens up to others. She views lions below her in rank as pawns, not comrades.
Appearance: A sleek, golden lioness. Her eyes are dark, dark brown, almost black. Her tail is unusually long and she always seems to have her head up. She keeps herself clean (almost her number one priority) and washes herself after each kill.
Element: Water
Animal Type: Lion
Current Status: Lead Huntress
Other: Though she is an Elemental, she rarely dabbles in her element, despite being quite skilled. She prefers claw-to-claw combat.

Noticing the slashed tree, Ariana stopped to inspect it. The edges of the gash were a little wet, but other than that it just appeared to have been made by a regular animal. That lioness was a skilled fighter then... The snow leopard was impressed, and she could feel her interest in the huntress growing. Now she just had to find a way to get to her without causing a scene... With her powers growing by the minute Ariana could probably take down most of the lions, but doing so certainly wouldn't help her chances with the fierce huntress. She had to plan her moves carefully.

Zaire returned to the swamp with his group very quickly and fast and aggressive movements, the body of their fallen member was already at camp and the leader couldn't help but feel a twinge of severe guilt, knowing that he could have been saved if he wasn't so bitter for a fight. Blinking a bit, he knew that tonight wouldn't be a victory with the truce they now shared with the lions, but rather it would be a time of shared grief of the group.
(Also, if I'm to create a side character e.g. - the grieving mate of a crocodile, should I make a form for her or if she won't appear for a while, should I not bother? I'm not too sure!! xDD)
Sheera
Sheera crept to her den, one of the higher caves that pockmarked the mountain in which the lions lived. A thin layer of grass was spread in the tunnel, and already she could see that her two comrades were asleep. She curled up next to one of them and closed her eyes drowsily.
Ghembo
Ghembo leaped back as the human brandished the knife. A warm cut of pride cut through him, the feeling familiar and sweet. He realized that the human would be mad after what happened, so he would tread carefully. He murmured, "I'm not here to harm you," He knew it was pointless and the human would never understand a creature like him, yet he couldn't help trying.
Sheera felt like she was floating on clouds. Her mind was cradled by a caring and loving mother and she watched herself pad out of the cave. Vaguely, in the back of her mind, she knew that she should be worried. But she just... couldn't. Not with the peace that had evaded her for so many years.
She had glimpsed red eyes before the peace enveloped her, and semi-remembered a flash of panic before she had strode out of her den, though she couldn't remember why. She hoped that it woukd never end.
