Zero Darkfire.
Not a lot disturbed the blue male from his much loved sleep. He had been known to sleep through thunderstorms and earthquakes, and yet today, what was waking him up was a scent. A very old, very familiar scent. He didn't quite know how to react, and thus his brain took a few moments to kick-start into some form of response.
He rose to his white paws, tail flicking madly behind him. When his efforts to identify the source of the scent were thwarted by the sound of lava boiling and the heat rising underneath his paws, he decided to try another tactic. Roaring.
Zero's roar came from deep within his chest. Quick, desperate bursts of air from his throat produced a roar that sounded aggressive yet welcoming, but there was a heavy undertone to it. It was very, very frantic. He was clearly searching for something. The roaring continued as the blue male awaited a response, changing direction every few minutes.

o: Cheater! You practically have it word for word... x.x Darian Shakes Darkfire Darian had been wandering around quite a bit, looking for what he didn't know. But he also knew he'd been kind of following a certain scent, one that had approached him just a few days before. Part of him wondered just who that male had been, when he'd never even seen this male before, and why he hadn't been around his mother - when his mother was suposedly this guys sister.. He remembered his name; Zero Darkfire.
Darian sighed again, then paused when he crossed a certain threshold. Someone seemed frantic, and when he cast his gaze upwards, he saw a figure standing on a platform. And blinked. That was Zero. What exactly was making him frantic? Flicking his tail, he leaped upwards on to the platform, taking long strides to get to Zero, and then cleared his throat somewhat loudly.
"Remember me?" he called out, his tone of voice much calmer from Zero's actions - and he realized he found himself actually hoping that this guy, his uncle, did remember him. [/font] |

Zero Darkfire.
The young males steps had gone unheard, Zero's roars throwing his sense of hearing out the window. However, when Darian spoke, he immediately became the sole receiver of the older Darkfire's attention. "Do I remember you?" He repeated, striding forward to circle around Darian. Zero had always been like this, happily teasing his own family, seeming aggressive and intimidating but actually only wanting to play or relax with them.
"You're a handsome young lion with dark blue fur." He pointed out, then swung his head around and gently headbutted Darians shoulder in a late greeting. "Of course I remember my own flesh and blood, Darian." He purred, then flopped down on to his side, rolled on his back and stuck his paws up in the younger males face. "What brings you over here? Did you miss me? Aw, that's so sweet."
(( really sorry for such a slow response. )) |

Darian Shakes Darkfire
The young male narrowed his eyes briefly as he watched Zero remain frantic before his uncle actually noticed him, and then he grinned, chuckling at his antics, and headbutted the paws thrust up at him. It was kind of an ego booster, his uncles words, because he'd never really been around others all that much. Poking Zero in the side, Darian tilted his head to the side and huffed.
"You'd like that wouldn't ya?" he teased right back, falling into the easy playful pattern as he commented on his missing Zero. Then he plopped down right beside him, and flicked his tail, "Besides, of course I'm handsome. I resemble you in some ways, don't I?" Then Darian looked out over the platform. "Where you lookin' for someone? It seemed you were a moment ago." His voice was only mildly serious at the end - but filled with curiosity. |

TRIGGER WARNING!
Old Flames
Loud crashing noises suddenly echoed through the land of pride followed by the running figure of a male within his prime. his fur was scorched and riddled with burns and the end of his mane that dangled on the side of his face still had tiny orange fire's burning in the splits.
shit [/color] shit![/color] SHIT!The male clambered on to a hill for what seemed like dear life as he tried to franticly climbed, he barely noticed the large shadow that loomed over him in his haste a shadow which took the appearance of a beast with curved like horns a top it's head which seemed to be slowly looming closer and closer.
Finally scrambling to stand a top of the hill the male gulped taking a deep breath and turned his head slowly to look behind him down the hill.
There was no one their.
A quick sigh escaped the male as his spiked fur eased down and he took a step forward the figures of two other people caught the corner of his eye and he turned his head to try and identify the two at this distance completely forgetting the threat that had chased him here. They were quite close by but his tangled mane got in the way of his eyes, causing him to try and shake his head to rid of it from his vision.
The presence of someone else leaning against him caused the male to completely freeze in his movements. He didn't blink, didn't breath.
"Joooomei~"at the sound of the mocking call of his name Jomei gulped again and turned his head to look at the creature leaning against his shoulder.
The creature was a light Gray and small in size comparison to Jomei, it's body seemed to be painted in various scars and one of it's eyes was completely white, sightless though it still seemed to burrow its gaze onto him despite it not being able to see. The other eye was a burning bright red that seemed to hide the illusions of flames behind it and it's ears were shaped liked upright horns.
"H-hello mother dear!Jomei replied to the the creature forcing a desperate smile on his face as he tried his hardest not to stutter or shake in case his mother noticed his fear.
His smile was replaced by a very dazed expression as his apparent 'mother' some how managed to turn around and kick him in the face with her hind house. The strength and surprise behind the kick sent Jomei tumbling down the hill and rolling towards the two that were at the time of his grand entrance conversing. The dazed male had his eyes shut and was making low gurgling sounds from his throat.
The sound of a high-pitched cackle was then heard . as the small gray female was seen standing a top the hill Jomei had just falling down wearing a rather wicked smirk. This smirk however vanished when she finally spotted the other two who were also in this land.
Having only one eye left that can actually see sometimes made it difficult to zone in and identify individuals. A frown blazing through the features appeared as she leaped down from the hill pausing in her landed position for a while as she then stood up which was followed by her legs cracking at the impact. Her face appeared quite young though some parts of her dark mane was riddled with Gray hairs the only sign that this demonic was perhaps so much older than she actually looked.
Making her way towards were the two were standing and were her son had so clumsily landed after her little display, it wasn't long before realization hit the female.
"Zero?.. is that you?"coming closer to the large male the frown from her face faded completely replaced with an expression of hope and what appeared to be tears forming in the old females face and yet they seemed to vanish just as quickly as they had appeared as she suddenly face the unknown male but she did not take a offensive stance. Something about how this male looked made her heart shatter and break.
"and who are you?"her brows furrowed as she took on an superior tone of voice.

"Oh, it would make my heart grow and flutter if such an adorable little bastard like yourself had any thoughts about missing such a stud like me." The older blue male was clearly joking around, and he clarified that by rolling on to his side and wrapping his paws around Darian's head. "Looking for someone?" For a moment, Zero seemed confused. Then, it was as if his entire body remembered what he had smelled. His shoulders slouched and his tail hit the ground with a quiet 'thud'. All the energy and life he had displayed moments ago was gone, and replaced with a forlorn expression. One filled with disappointment and longing.
As quickly as the expression had appeared, it was gone, and his attention was on a rather terrified looking lion who was scaling the hill near Zero and his nephew. Naturally, he stood up and moved forward, standing over Darian. He was doing this to protect the young one. Sure, he had only just met him, but family was everything to him and he would happily give his life or a limb for his nephew.
His stance, however, changed, when he saw the little white female who, surprisingly, happily booted the other male down the hill again. She seemed to think this was hilarious. Zero did not. He was almost certain that what he smelled burning was none other than his own flesh and blood. "Jo. Jom. Jomei. Jomei!" It took him a moment to remember his brothers name, but once it was there he found himself approaching him.
Then, the realization of who the female was hit him harder than he would have liked. His back legs literally collapsed and his ears folded against his skull. "Mum," He called, showing Jinx that, yes, he was her son. He was filled with happiness and joy and all the emotions that would make a strong adult male collapse like this, but also fear, curiosity and concern. Why on earth was his mother attacking his brother like that?
Now, the great and powerful Zero Darkfire was reduced to a shaking ball of fur, excited and fearful at the same time. He wanted to run at his mother and sibling and jump at them both - to hug them and roll around with them, but he wasn't stupid. He knew if he did something like that he'd probably get his ass handed to him. "Mum, its me, Zero." His gaze switched to Darian and then back to his mother, shaking his head slowly. "He's my nephew, mother, there's no need to show him any aggression. I promise nothing here means you any harm... Where have you been? I thought you were dead."

Darian chuckled at the reply and then paused, hesitating almost at the expression that crossed Zero's face, and then at how his attention shifted. Before Darian could do much of anything, Zero was standing, over him, and he remained still, watching the scene the played out before him.
He honestly didn't know how to react to what was going on, and merely stayed where he was, surprise filtering through his mind, his expression, and when Zero moved, and then nearly collasped, he found himself springing to his paws. "Zero..." His voice trailed off slightly, his tone soft. And slowly, he moved his way to Zero's side, pressing his pelt against Zero's, lending his uncle his support.
His eyes drifted to the small female standing across from his uncle, and the other male laying not so far from them. Now, at this moment though, he decided to keep quiet. Keep lending support to his distraught uncle, and stay by his side no matter what this woman... His grandmother he realized, said. |

Jinx & Jomei Darkfire
[/font][/color][/size] The small females posture relaxed as she was informed that the other male beside her son was in fact her grandson.
"Just making sure, he looks remarkably like your father that I was surprised is all"there was a sad undertone to her voice as she spoke, before she lifted her head up high and smiled at the other male who was sticking awfully close to Zero's side.
"I am Jinx Darkfire, and you are?"she asked the male in a tone that almost demanded her question be answered. Jinx seemed to be ignoring or acting like she hadn't heard Zero's last question and instead looked at Zero with a very stern expression before her gaze looked back briefly on were Jomei her other son was still laying.
Rolling her one good eye at fallen male before turning round and padding towards him, at first it looked liked she was going to strike the male as she lifted her paw but instead she gently nudged his mane out of his face, she then turned her head around to her her other son and grandson.
"Don't look so scared,my little Jomei here was just in some need of some divine punishment[/i]"she said the last words with such malice that Jomei who had been pretending to be knocked out quickly shot up like a bolt before plomping himself down into a sitting position. Jomei looked at his brother Zero the corners of his mouth forming in a smile at the sight of him, he even spare a glimpse at the other male before turning to look down at his mother who at this very moment had a very angry expression on her face as she was staring right at him which caused Jomei to jump " JEEZ, I'm sorry alright!"he yelled back to his mother. " Next time I'm spying on females in Meurtrier I'll make sure to do it when I know my bat shit mother isn't about to rise from the bloody dead!"there was frustration in his voice as he glared at Jinx just as she returned his glare before gently smacking Jomei on the shoulder and nodding. " Good boy"The tension from Jomei seemed to melt away after that and he sunk into a laying position as his mother was about to walk back towards Zero and his nephew concern shifted through his expression " Mum..where have you been exactly?"he echoed Zero's question honestly he thought he'd been going crazy this whole time and that he was just seeing things or that he was in a really bad nightmare. Though his mother scared him despite him being almost double her size he still loved and cared for her, just as she did. Jinx stopped in her tracks before looking back at Jomei, then to Zero and even her grandson her expression becoming angrier each second. " What did you all think I'd simply died in a ditch somewhere?, or pre haps passed away peacefully in sleep?" there was frustration in her voice as she felt almost sick just thinking that people had thought she'd die in such a weak manner. Sharply turning herself so she was facing both her sons and grandson her eye still filled with anger she suddenly sighed her form almost deflating and becoming smaller then she already was the fire leaving her eye that seemed so full of live a moment ago, her head dipped lower to the ground. " I.. could never take loss very well"the sad tone from before seemed return in her voice this time it came back in full force making her voice crack at some points. " I.. i-i didn't want to believe he was really gone I just..lost myself"for those who didn't know Jinx it would be hard for them to identify who she was talking about. Jomei knew straight away who it was she was referring to, he looked at the ground so that his mane would fall back in his face again making his expression unreadable. Father..[/center][/size] |

Zero Darkfire.
Watching his the emotion cross his mothers face was like being forced to watch someone murder his whole family. It made his stomach flip, his throat felt like it had a lump in it and his heart felt like it had shattered into pieces. All this time he had been wandering the land, destroying other families because he felt like his own had crumbled and broke. He had spent a good chunk of his life, lashing out at other lions and attacking anyone who got anywhere near being close to him, because he was angry that he had been abandoned. But now he knew. He had never been abandoned. His father had died, and that wouldn't ever be anyone's fault. His mother couldn't cope with it and had left to help herself. It made sense. After all, how could he have expected his mother to care for her three sons, when she couldn't cope with it herself? " I." His jaw closed and he swallowed. His left forepaw stretched out and he, very slowly, began to walk forward. His back legs dragged a little behind him, the emotional shock of it all taking away his physical strength. " Mum," He said softly, lowering his head so that, if she allowed it, he could brush his head under her chin and nuzzle the side of her neck. " I'm sorry. I love you." He said softly, then his bright red eyes flicked to Jomei and he smiled softly at him. " I love you too, Jomei. And I missed the both of you." |

Darian Darkfire
Darian breathed in sharply, yet inaudibly as the scene continued to unfold. When Jinx introduced herself, and practically demanded it in turn from him. He dipped his head graciously toward her. "Darian Shakes Darkfire, my mother was Sarka." His voice was much more calmer this time as he watched out of the corner of his eye, his uncle get himself together. When Jomei darted from his spot, Darian turned to look at him, eyeing him. So that was his other uncle? But what was all this about anyway?
He blinked as she spoke, as Jomei suddenly looked crestfallen. And then as his Un- well, Zero, promptly broke apart again. Having no clue as to what was going on, he helped Zero along the first step, then paused and let him walk the rest of his way to Jinx and Jomei. After all, he may have been part of the family, but he clearly did not share the same grief that they did. His parents had long since been gone when he'd been nearing his teen years, and he never got to know them in the first place. His heart went out to them though as he let the three of them reunite and stayed not to far from them as he waited for them to regain their bearings. |

Jinx & Jomei Darkfire
[/font][/color][/size] Jomei quickly followed suit of Zero and collapsed closely to both his mother and brother, his expression still unreadable through his long mane as he hid his face pressed against his mothers small form.
Jinx welcomed both Zero and Jomei near her and let Zero nuzzle against her neck, returning the gesture with gentle movements back to her son as she emitted a very low and soft purring sound. The same purr she used to use to ease her sons to sleep at night and comfort them if they were frightened. She would use it now to not only express her joy at being reunited with them again but to also soothe there own pain.
She did hate herself and would always regret leaving her children behind in her state of grief but she could only hope to make it up to all of them now by staying by there side and supporting them. As sad as she was to ever say or admit it they all needed to move on for the better.
Lifting her head up slightly she opened her eyes and looked at Darian standing a few feet away. She now knew that he was the son of one of her daughter's Sarka. A warm smile formed on her face and the fire was back in her one eye as he looked at Darian.
"Were not going to bite you know"she called teasingly to her grandson.
"You're part of this family and whther you like it or not we come with group hugs!"she chuckled at that last part hoping in a small way Darian would come closer and join them. Though she would understand if he didn't, both she and Jomei were and unknown despite being related by blood. Never the less Jinx accepted him for now.
