The Warden Captured by the Iris Pride

[/center]

A new rumour is running through the city like a wildfire, the words spreading like a poison, as the news seem to be on everybody's lips: The Warden of the Tempest Pack has been captured by the Iris Pride. But that sole fact is also the only thing that the gossipers seem to be able to agree upon, for like a game of Chinese whispers the words have been repeated from mouth to mouth too many times to be counted. Mumblings in the shadows speak of betrayal and a traitor within the Tempest Pack, while others claim it was recklessness that lead to the destruction of the Warden. Some claim that he is dead, while others claim that he managed to take down the leader Florence, before himself succumbing to his wounds. Everywhere you turn different accounts of the story are to be found, where every canine and feline seem adamant that their version is the truth.

But one thing is for sure: The Iris Pride has showed their claws. Now the question that everybody asks is, how will the Tempest Pack react to this insult? The die has been cast, and the tentative peace is broken. Will this be the spark that ignites the war once more?

Mysterious Disappearance of Lexis Leader

[/center]

Badeya, the newly risen leader of the Lexis Tribe, has mysteriously vanished from the surface of Hexasol. No one seems to know for sure what happened to the young German Short Haired Pointer, though everyone seems eager to contribute with their personal guess, where the theories range far and wide, some as simple as Badeya turning her back on Hexasol, and some as far-fetched as to suggest that she was abducted by a cult of felines.

There were fears that the Lexis Tribe would be thrown into chaos, but soon after a single strong character stood up and assumed control of the pack: Streiter the male lion. For now the city awaits in silence, the same question on everybody's lips: What kind of leader will this lion prove to be?

Rescue Mission of Warden Leaves City in Flames

On a mission to rescue their captured leader, the timber wolf Gravity, the Tempest Pack took both fangs and fire in use to overcome their enemy. One seemingly calm late-summer evening, the silence of the city was shattered by a loud boom that reverberated throughout the streets. Some speak of witchcraft and magic, but those elders who still remember the times of the humans, bob their heads knowingly as they tell everyone willing to listen about the bombs of old - innocent objects that with a touch could explode and tear entire buildings apart. But when you play with the fire you might get burnt, and the fire spread to an extent not even the dogs could've imagined. Jumping from building to building it quickly spread to rummage throughout the city, and many houses were destroyed. Stopped by the Laredo River it never reached Tempest territory, the main brunt being taken by the Iris Pride in whose territory the fire started, and some parts of the Lexis territory to which the fire spread. Lives were lost and homes destroyed, before merciful rain came and extinguished the flames.

Throughout the city it is agreed that the Tempest Pack won a mixed victory: On one hand the fire has left the city scarred and has killed off or chased away much prey. In the corners of the city anger is smoldering not only amongst the members of the Pride, but also amongst the loners and the Lexis members, towards these Tempest dogs who took matters into their own hands. However, the Tempest Pack did show that they stand as strong as ever, and that they will hesitate at nothing to defeat anyone who dares stand in their way.

No one has seen much to the Warden since he was rescued, rumours of the severity of his wounds circling the city. Some say he is physically maimed for life, while others claim the main wounds have been inflicted to his mind - that he has gone mad at the hands of Florence, leader of the Iris Pride, whose wrath of the defeat has shook the city worse than any fire. It is clear that she will not let the humiliation stand for long.

Now remains only one question: Who will make the next move? And how many will die before a solution is found to this endless war - if such a solution even exists?

Curious sighting of Iris Leader on Lexis Territory

Claimed from an anonymous source, there happened to be a sighting of the Iris Pride Leader, Florence, within the Lexis Tribe Territory. It was said, her scent was not one of Iris, nor of Lexis, yet she bore the same scars and marks that the famous Lioness does. She was seen conversing amicably with Streiter, Leader of the Lexis Tribe, and he did not seem afraid nor angry. They even seemed to have a close relationship before they were obscured from view in the thick sand dunes on Rib Bay. The anonymous source did not see what happened afterwards, but claimed she smelt in heat, and this could have been an art of seduction.

This sighting is backed up with the fact that Florence's stomach is swelling, and there have been less sightings of her recently. It begs the question, who's the daddy? Has Florence of the Iris Pride really entangled herself with the Lexis Tribe, and what is her cunning plan with her future cubs? More knowledge and sightings are needed for confirmation, but only a fool cannot connect the dots. Florence has somehow seduced the mighty Streiter, and she is up to something once a again.

But what?

Death of Lexis Leader

After months of silence from the Lexis Tribe, it has been confirmed that a body has been found in Rib Bay. Witnesses say they saw three lions enter the Lexis Territory and approach the leader. It isn't confirmed as to who these lions were, but many rumour that they were Streiter's children, the ones he bore with Florence. Everyone expected a bloody battle, with Streiter fighting for his life. What they didn't expect was suicide.

Only minutes after their arrival, witnesses say that Streiter briefly spoke with the three lions, before impaling himself in a shard of metal. It took only seconds before Streiter collapsed, dead.

Now the Deputy, Rabba, will hopefully take over the Lexis Tribe. Whispers say that the cub, Course, will follow in his father's footsteps. Who knows?

Death of Iris Leader

A very belated news item has finally come up. It has been many months since Florence perished, however it is time to compile together the facts so that everyone is clear on what happened.

During the Scavengers raid of Huntington Hospital back in Spring, three of Florence and Panja's cubs were snatched up and taken back to the Tempest Territory. It is still not revealed as to how they were treated for the few months that they spent there, nor why they weren't just killed on the spot. However, they were alive, and Florence wanted her cubs back.

With the Iris Pride being weak, Florence knew there was nothing for it. She went to the Tempest territory and demanded for her cubs back. Not much is known of the conversation between her and Tempest Leader Brooke, however what is known is that she refused to give back the cubs. It was lucky that a compassionate Tempest member and her friend managed to deliver the three cubs to Florence's mate Panja.

It was, however, too late for Florence. She was trapped and unable to escape. There are many rumours of how she died: some say she was thrown off the cliff onto the jagged rocks below, others say she was ripped apart limb by limb by Brooke herself, and some really morbid dogs say that Brooke's cronies ate her alive. It isn't bearable to think about, but at least she killed herself for the life of her children.

Panja now rules over the Iris Pride, and her most recent litter are alive and well after their torture by the Tempest.

New kid on the block?!

No one can believe their ears when they hear who has just succeeded old Rabba onto the Lexis throne. With the Tribe so weak after the abdication of Rabba, Lexis members were desperate to get a new leader as soon as possible.

Course, son of the late Streiter, has taken this opportunity to step up to the responsibilities that his father once had. At only a year old, this lion cub still only has the starts of a mane coming through, and won't be fully grown for another year. Already, people are questioning whether he is old enough to take up the responsibilities of a Tribe. Many members are horrified at this decision, reckoning that Course will be immature and foolish with his choices. Others are rejoicing at a cub with new and fresh ideas, who will lead the Lexis Tribe into victory.

However old Course may be, he is already showing strong promise. Watch this space.
