Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World

Lions were in fact nature's bullies. When lions are well-fed, apart from lazying around, they pass their time by bullying other creatures. One could think of it as a way to make everyone know who's boss. Bullies, that's what the foxes thought of these big cats. Why couldn't they let go of two fishes? While the fish was in their mouth, they could taste the roasted flesh with their tongues. Even they were not willing to let go. Unfortunately for them, the Ol-mytee was not chasing them because of two fishes. "BACK OFF!" A sweet but aggressive voice echoed in the minds of the lionesses. It was the telepathic voice of the mesmerizing fox. With every step she took backward, the lionesses closed in on her. Her teeth were bared and he growled and barked with all her might but the lionesses remained unflinching. No matter how hypnotizing her tails were when they, their eyes remained focused, a grey glow flashing once in a while from Priya. The other fox was more direct and less thoughtful. His fur immediately burst into flames as he lunged after Olivia. Unknown to everyone, a soft yellow glow escaped her body, undetectable to anyone. Olivia shrank her neck backward just in time for Ruda to speedily slap the fox away. The fiery fox got up fast, his two tails exploding into jet streams. He rushed Ruda, surprising her and the lionesses. The fox packed quite a punch, he hit Ruda right on her nose with his head, like a mad goat. Ruda fell hard to the ground with blood spilling from her nose. The mesmerizing fox, seeing her partner fighting so crazily, had no choice but to join in. She jumped at Priya, the one she was most weary of. Priya didn't see this coming and ended up having a feisty fox on her face. The mesmerizing fox grabbed onto Priya's cheeks with her sharp claws, making Priya let out a painful roar. Zabita slapped at Priya's face. Her metal claws reflected a dangerous light. She stopped just in time as the mesmerizing fox jumped off Priya's face. Zabita was so close to clawing her mother's face off. Katari stared at all of this with a calm gaze. She knew that her pride sisters were not really serious about catching these two foxes. Each fox might have the same power level as a lion at base, but they were outnumbered four to one, not to mention three of these lionesses had only had their powers for about a month, they were quite inexperienced when it came to fighting other creatures with awakened Hearts. This moment could serve as a way to train them. After all, she doubted if these foxes would be the only special animals they would encounter in their lives. Just then, she perceived the familiar scent of a certain golden lion getting stronger. Not just her, the others could also smell that sweet aromatic scent. This prompted a level of seriousness to overcome the lionesses. They began to put more effort into catching these little thieves. By the time Kael's figure was visible, the two foxes were tied down by strong vines. They already knew they were going to lose this fight, they just didn't expect to not bring even one lioness down. The fiery fox had every limb on his body bound to the ground, his snout was then bound by another vine. The mesmerizing fox on the other hand was fidgeting on the ground as purple electricity occasionally circled her body. Nalii could only handle tying down one fox for now. Ruda sat down beside the mesmerizing fox like a soldier waiting for her general after completing a mission. Kael's golden eyes rested on his group of lionesses, he was satisfied with their composure when waiting for him. His gaze landed on the two foxes, interest sparkling in his eyes. "Hello, foxies" Kael spoke into their minds when he finally stood before them. His large form cast a shadow on the two, adding to the oppressive feeling they got from him. The two foxes didn't react to his words, they chose not to. The fiery dkx was struggling to get the vines off him and the mesmerizing was half paralyzed, only able to twitch her body. With Ruda standing beside her and passing electric currents into her body once in a while, she was basically hopeless. Kael noticed how they were not surprised to hear voices in their head, as though they were used to it. "I'm going to allow them to release you guys. If you run, the next time we see you, we'll kill you." Kael stated plainly as he sat down and signaled Nalii and Ruda. The glow on Nalii's horns died down and Ruda stepped away from the fox. The vines binding the fiery fox withered away until they were weak enough for him to break away. The mesmerizing fox slowly got up from the ground as she recovered her motor skills. The two foxes looked at each other, communicating with each other on a private level. In an instant, they came to a decision, they decided not to run. They couldn't outrun the pride before, they probably wouldn't be able to outrun them again. Kael was satisfied, he could see that the mesmerizing fox was the one doing most of the thinking. "You must be hungry, I can see," Kael said, seeing the two fish that had at some point fallen from the two foxes' mouths. No one touched the fish. "Yes," The mesmerizing fox said as she nodded her head. The fiery fox did not seem to particularly approve of what they were doing but he complied. Kael thought of something and asked another question, "Do you have children… that you wish to feed," He stared at them intently. The two foxes were surprised at the sudden intensity Kael was showing. They hurriedly shook their head, signifying their lack of offspring. "They are telling the truth," Priya said as she finished scanning the mind of the fiery fox. She didn't bother trying to get into the mind of the mesmerizing fox. Kael nodded, feeling unfortunate. How was he supposed to effectively threaten them if they didn't have much to lose? He quickly shook his head, getting rid of the dark thoughts. He really needed to find a better way for people to do what he wanted, but he had just been an ordinary man in his past life. He knew nothing about politics or how kings actually governed their subjects. Everything he was doing concerning building this kingdom of his was usually learned on the spot or from the Primordial Lion memories. "Very well then, from now on, you are my subjects, I'll have need of you soon." Kael said, confusing the duo, "Do you accept?" When he asked this question, Katari mysteriously appeared behind them like a ghost. Her threatening presence made the two foxes nod in fear. Freedom was in sight, they'd do anything to get away from these monsters. A golden screen appeared in front of the two foxes. This was another Primordial Record that Kael had created. He decided to have a Primordial Record exclusive for Lions and another just for other animals. He had a vision, a plan for his future, and he felt that these Primordial Records could be of great help. As soon as the foxes showed the intention of accepting Kael's decree, two identity marks appeared on the screen. The foxes didn't know why but they felt that they had now been bound to an invisible chain. Satisfied, Kael smiled. His smile looked very weird since he had the mouth of a lion, flashing a set of luxurious golden teeth anytime he smiled. "Let's go," Kael walked away and the other lionesses followed. Katari, who was behind the foxes pushed them forward with paws, intending for them to follow Kael. "W-wait, you said we could go!" Alarmed, the mesmerizing fox shouted into their minds. Priya shook her head, "He never said so, plus, you still have to show us around," she said. The foxes felt their spines tingling, the more they stayed close to these monsters, the more they felt closer to death. It was as if their chances of dying increased exponentially every time they got close to one lioness. "Also, take the fish," Katari commanded. "Thank you," The mesmerizing fox said. Their stomach had been grumbling since the vain fight but they didn't dare to take the fish again at that time. The fiery fox quickly grabbed the two fish by their tails with his mouth, holding onto one for his smarter partner. "Do you have a name?" Kael asked out of the blue. He didn't turn his back to look at them, he just kept walking while he waited for an answer. "Name? No" The mesmerizing fox said, shaking her head. "*Sigh* Okay, I'll call you Vicky, and your partner, Igor. Is that fine with you?" Kael said, even though he wasn't expecting a rejection. "Yes," Vixy nodded while she recited the name in her mind over and over again. At the same time, her cunning mind began cooking up a plan to get away from this current predicament.
