[Training/Jahan/DOM-D-Tier]The Lion King

I have narrated for many of Jahans tales for a variety of the man's life, watching his misadventures on a daily basis has made me, as the narrator, quite the solemn man. However his misadventures into the wilderness would be most likely the most ludicrous of all of his journeys. Jahan ventured through a plain like area, it was where many of the man eating lions are caught and brought to "participate" in the Coliseums. All those who may know Jahan should know this is the first red flag, this boy and danger mixed better than ice and shots of hard liquor.

Yet even without either ice or  alcohol present Jahan was both cool and temerarious. Jahangir simply walked through the Sahara like he would walk anywhere. His presence was loud, proud boisterous and careless. It was something that only made for lesser animals to run from him, and more dominant animals to be extremely aware of him. Nothing that Jahan would ever care for the boy himself was hardly aware of the animals that were in the vicinity. He did however come here with a plan, he wanted to further his strength, so he would find a suitable animal comrade and tame him to work with Jahan.

Easier said than done, yet easiest dreamt of all, Jahan had absolutely no doubt that he would be able to tame whatever creature he would wish to find. I mean why wouldn't a beast want to follow him? He was the King of the Jungle. The King of the hill, and in his mind the one who should be the king of it all. Though enough of that, he was here for a good reason. Jahan huffed as he went along his path, further and further into the wild. He barely knew where he happened to be, and the cold winter air was serving to agitated him .

He would have prefered it to be hot like in Heliohapt, he had no trouble with the heat, probably because of his origins but nature betrayed him. Not someone whom he wanted to be betrayed by while he was on a mission to tame animals. The distraction from  a sudden breeze of cold air soon caused him to swivel on the balls of his feet in anger.

"I'm so sick of the damn shit!" he shouted in a tantrum like fashion before stomping his foot on the ground. What he and you as well may take the time to note is that he was standing atop a rocky formation. Which under his strength cracked, before giving way sending Jahangir, our unfortunate Heroine, spiraling downwards.

"Hukk-Hukk" Jahan coughed as he got up. Dust and rocks tumbling down along side him.

"Damn that fall hurt" he muttered to himself. He opened his eyes and noticed that he was in a large  circular pit about 20 meters in diameter, a 10 meter jagged opening was a mere 15 meters away from him. However he would take notice that between him and the exit were several large ferocious lions. Jahangir stood up immediately. As he did so a large lion charged at him, Jahan did not have proper time to react. Honestly everything he did after this point was pure instinct and impulse. As the Lion lunged letting out a vicious roar.

Jahan lunged, giving his own roar trying to match the lion tone for tone. Jahan battle instincts kicked in and he was able to intercept the Lions Paws, grasping them where a wrist would be, his Fanalis strength quickly overpowered the beast. The lion was unable to move let alone bite or maim our young "king". However it was the mans intensity that had inspired something akin to fear in the beast. When the lion would peer into Jahan's eyes, what he had expected to see was fear, shock and surprise. The same beautiful colors of emotions that were painted into the face of his enemies for years.

Yet he had seen none in Jahan, not fear but pride, and even a hint of outrage. Could Jahan had actually been angered that a Lion? One of the most respected and feared species to roam the earth? The answer was yes. Why in the world would a mere Lion choose to attack him? He definitely was not prey, no he had no doubts that with a single kick he could destroy any of these little kitties. Though it was probably his fanalis inspired anger leading to this explosive bout of arrogance and anger. As the Lion Roared again trying to no avail to force his way at Jahan. Jahan gave another Roar, while he was genuinely defeated in terms of bass. Jahan did have the passions to match if not exceed the lion.

The other lions however did not want to simply stand by and watch as their leader was threatened, they moved to strike and attack the man from all angles yet a single action would stop them, He purred, the lion purred. Tail between its legs, and a far less vicious look in its eyes the lion purred rather than attempting to maul Jahan to death. I couldnt tell you rather it was a sign of respect or an act of fear which led to the great animals obedience. Yet his pack seemed to follow suit after him, in there eyes  the mighty king of the jungle had submitted to a new ruler, and in this case, Jahan was the leader of the pack.

Or at least an equal? Whatever the case may be this was the beggining of an entirely new realm for Jahan. From this point onwards he drove himself into the study of beast taming. He read several books, and stories of people that could tame mighty beasts. He returned to the areas that he had before and began

He returned to the areas that he had before and began to observe the animals a bit more closely. He wanted to learn everything about the beasts, he had always had a bit of a fascination with animals. Yet he never really had the amount of maturity to be held responsible for things, at the least not as a child. No as a boy Jahan was not allowed to keep any pets, not seriously.

Instead he would sneak in whatever he could in his free time or when  his rather un attentive guardians were not looking. Albeit his guardians being quite less than competent any time that the boy would sneak in an animal he would be caught almost immidietly. This was a good thing however seeing as that Jahan simply was not cut out for taking are of anything. If his parents were watching down from Heaven upon him they would likely smile to see there son was actually doing a good job of things with the animals. Something that simply was not a common theme in Jahans Life.

The lions were Jahans main focus however that isnt the only thing that he would study, he also took it upon himself to research several mammals and whatnot. He would take the time out for him to learnt the similarities in all of the different groups of animals. He would learn what would make them tick drive them forward and allow them to do the amazing things that they often did. It was not an easy tasks, holding his breath underwater in order to exam fish was something that many men would not have had the patience to do, however Jahan himself was rather  obsessive with his training. Whenever he wanted to learn something he would fall in love with it.

It was something that he felt was a bit of a good luck charm, in his head being in love with the things that he trained in would surely bring him success and strength. For the mos part this was true, judging by his results when learning Magoi Manipulation. The boy prided himself in his control over the magoi, his studies in it had become so advance that forming attacks using Magoi had become little more than second nature. It had the complexity of wiggling his fingers and he was extremely confident that he could do it in his sleep.

The same would go for his studies in Beast Taming, he wanted to be the Alpha and to truly be the king of the jungle. Funny thing was is that he was slowly becoming closer to that everyday. For some odd reasons the more time he spent with animals in the wild the more that they would come closer to him. Animals approached him easier than more, and this could be for a variety of reasons. Possibly just maybe he had become closer to nature within the past few weeks, or more than likely his natural habits had just changed. He began to walk differently around animals, his body language was more dominant than usual, which is saying alot considering he kingly boys attitude.

At the moment he was relaxing with the lions, He rode atop the packs Alpha males and viewed the beautiful scenery around him with a smile.

He had finally grown accustom to riding the huge beasts, and he was making good way with teaching the animals commands. Jahans method for training actually composed of just scaring the crap out of an animals. It was most useful for pack animals, in which case he would show his dominance and then the creature would usually submit to his will. It was kind of a give or take method however.

Not all animals would be broken so easily he would find out, a lot of the beasts could match him for his pride and even his strength. So he learned a variety of methods to make up for this weakness and he was currently reviewing one of them.

"Sit" he commanded the lion.

The large tan furred beast gave him a sideways look before lowering its body, Jahan opened his eyes wider in joy, before the animal curled itself in a ball and rolled about the ground playfully.

"Ugh" Jahan sighed

He scratched his head and started thinking again "This is going to be a tough one".

Jahan then went back to instructing the animal a bit more,he had practiced this bit of beast taming on simple animals like dogs and cats. He had been pretty successful so far, yet Lions seemed a bit more difficut, regardless that this one had a few more domestic traits than the usual members of his race. Well whatever, it would take Jahan about another 300 tries and a single night in the wilderness to get this animal to understand how to sit down.

Later he repeated this same step with every animal that he could find, every lion of the pack, even deer and antelopes that the lion would hunt for the most part. If anything its worthy to say that he was not using the conventional methods and his skill in the trade was rising astronomically rather quickly.

He began to focus on working with the beasts as a unit now. He was learning to hunt with the beasts side by side. Regardless of wether it was an exotic bird or cat he was doing his best to aid the beasts in making the kills that they cherished. He practiced this by first observing all of the animals and the way they hunted there prey. Coordinating them in ways where they would make up for each others weaknesses and secure kills in a efficient fashion. After every Kill Jahan would share the animal with whatever animal he was working with. While this was a bit odd, questionable and disgusting he did it in order to form a better bond with the animals.

At the end of a long 2 months Jahan went from the wilderness back home, and he had completed his knowledge of training beasts, and while he wasnt the best at it, no match for an El Nagi for sure, he went home with the knowledge of a beast tamer, a few more feline friends and the title, The Lion King.
