"Let's go find out what our… guests need . " Kyera replied, as the slightly submissive tones of 'Moon' disappeared . The tiger Princess within returned as she turned to lead them toward the gates . Out in the forest the scent of shifters was stronger but there were only the three . She couldn't smell wet fur or the tale tell scents of shifters hiding . The shadows divulged their secrets as Kyera's eyes pried at them . None dared hide anything from her . Shadow energy formed pools around all of her paws as she approached the edge .
"You three are bold to break the laws of the forest to challenge me . " Kyera growled as the three wild cats turned to face her . Three tigers she didn't recognize on site or by scent which was redoubling . There were so few tiger clans…
A large dark red tiger with black as night and stained darker with blood long dried . A slash across his face was made by a very small paw . Kyera couldn't help but feel a hint of satisfaction at seeing her handy work once again . That deep scar would be yet another clear mark of his sins against their shared people .

"Long time no see Lady Kyera . " Kan greeted sweeping a paw into a bow . His eyes twinkled with mirth . Lazren had to repress the instinct to bust the tiger across the jaw .
"That is probably for the best, Kan . If I was younger we would be tumbling in a ball of blood and pain as we had last we met . " Kyera reminded him of that short battle . She had nearly taken his site, and tore his throat out at the tender age of eleven .
"Yes, I suppose so . How's your lover, Vinny was it?" he taunted and she barely reacted to his sally .
"Verone, you spineless excuse for a walking rug . " Mally growled angrily as her own composure failed her . Kan looked at her and raised his brows in surprise .
"Oh, did I not kill your mate as well, Lady Mally? Small world . I provided so much for the pair of you to bond over . You should truly be thanking me . I rescued you both from relationships that didn't care for you at all, and provided you a sisterhood stronger than death itself . " Kan replied with a deep throaty chuckle . The pair flanking him sniggered darkly . Kyera growled softly as a warning .
"Don't push us, Kan . I do not fear death as long as I take you with me . " Kyera reminded him, her tone overly sweet as she cast a glance at Mally, who was heeding her warning .
"I know you do not, Fearless Princess but do you fear for those you love? I know you do . I came, believe it or not, to help you . " Kan replied with a serious sense to his voice . Kyera watched him closely as he sat, paws in front of him and straight as those statues at the entrance to the palace .
"Help me? How?" Kyera asked with a dark chuckle . She sat down a bit hesitant, but knowing shes more agile than he was .
"There's a new power in the forest . Their goal is to take over our home tribe . Kyera you don't want to hear this but you CAN NOT go home any time soon . You can not chance it . If you do there will be more at stake than just your people . " Kan spoke cooly but with a layer of earnestly that neither of them had expected . Kyera watched his eyes, and he did not look away . He did not try to hide from her but she knew him to be crafty .
"Why would I not go home? Let us be honest Kan, but my leadership matters to my people and nothing is more important than their safety . " Kyera replied and he shook his head, a amused grin on his tiger expression .
"Yes, I know… but are you willing to chance another war like that which took your grandfather?" Kan asked and Kyera tensed, suddenly speechless .
