Adulthood

She got up and walked out of the cave. she spotted Akadi and Azina. she walked over. "Hey where are your parents? if you don't have any i will be pleased to become your mother." Sari smiled.

Sari giggled madly. "Kinda, to everyone i am considered a noble prize and i am looking for a mate." Sari smiled.

" What idea uncle!" laughed Blitz

Akadi didn't bother to answer Sari. He did not want to speak to anyone.

Azina looked at her strangely for a moment, then said "Oh, we have aunt Roku to look after us, but thank you."

Kryken continues pacing back and forth outside of the den, while Klowd remains asleep.

"Hmm...strange...don't you think it's strange?" asked Kenyi "I for one, find it strange..." Kenyi walked back into the royal den.

Sari smiled and walked back inside the cave.

Sari sighed. she dreamed of a perfect lion, a lion that would love her forever and would want cubs with her. What had Kopa mean't by he had an idea about a mate?

Sari went over to them. "Hey, Kopa, what are yah doing." she smiled.

Blitz saw Akadi who seem sad and decided going to awake Klowd. He walked towards him and pounced on him " Come on lazy!!".
"Argg come on! let me sleep!" shouted Klowd rolling on his back.
" Look at that cub, is who "lost" his father, let's go and talk with him." whispered Blitz to Klowd.
" Ok..." said yawning.
"How are you mate!? asked Blitz " I'm Blitz Kiro's son" he smiled " And he is Klowd Kryken's son".
" Uh?? ah me, yes, hi mate" he said yawnin again.

"The weather," Kenyi replied "I didn't even know it was coming..."

Azina looked at the cubs trying to cheer up Akadi.

"Ya bro, look, we can go play with them now!" Azina said, smiling. But Akadi just sat on his haunches.

Azina was tired of seeing him all depressed, so she pushed him off the rock and pounced on him.

"Now don't make me force you to play!" She said.

"Oh all right, let me up." Akadi said. He looked at the others.

"Sorry, I've been pretty quiet and stuff. I'm Akadi, and this annoying ball of fur to my right is my sis, Azina." He said, pouncing on Azina when she wasn't prepared.

"Feel free to pounce on her all the time Blitz and Klowd!" Akadi said, smiling again.

"what is coming?" asked Klowd courious to his grandfather.

Blitz smiled being happy , then he punced on Akadi instead of his sister." I prefer you!" he laughed.

Sari was watching. she chuckled happily.

"Oh looking for a mate still." She sighed sadly. She looked at snowy and her new mate. They were happily nuzzling and purring. She looked around the cave. she didn't know many and the ones she knew were not her perfect mate. A tear ran down her cheeck. "I'll never find my perfect mate." she burst into tears.

"I suppose so, I just hope the rain for Namabi and the other won't be too much of a hazard." Kenyi concerned.

Klowd was still looking to Kenyi waiting for an answer.
Blitz went near Sari " Don'r worry just wait fot the apropiate lion" he said.

"I've been waiting for six months. i'm almost 20(lion years, what she would be if she was an human). i need to settle down. Snowy already has settled down." wept Sari.

" well... isn't so bad being single..." smiled Blitz

"But for me it's not. i would love a lion to curl up with under the stars and purr with me. We would sit under the stars with our cubs and they would ask us what stars are and would say they are the kings of the past. But i guess that will never happen." she sighed sadly putting her head in her paws.

" ahh..." said Blitz thinking " who understands lionesses..." then he lied down

Sari smiled at him. "sigh. i will only marry for love. but i guess i won't find it. But i will carry on enjoying life." she smiled weakly.

" I'm sure you will" smiled Blitz

Sari reached over and tapped him lightly on the shoulder. "Tag!!!" she giggled running of like lightning.

Sari laughed and dived into a patch of grass. it looked as if she had dissappered into thin air. she tried hard to contain her laughter so she didn't give her postion away.

Blitz smiled, and said " Heya Klowd come to play here"
" no... not now" replied
" why? waiting for kryken again?, don't worry nothing will happen to him! come here!" shouted.
" Okay I'm coming " said Klowd running towards them.

Sari crept up behind them and did a rapberry. She ducked down and was hidden again.

Kryken looked up at the cloudy sky, padding out into coldness.

Klowd took a look out of the den and saw his father " ... want to stay alone?" said Klowd sitting down out of the cave.

Sari saw him and walked over. "Are you Okay??" she called.

" yeah.. I'm " smiled Klowd

"Good!!" smiled sari.

" I'm just a little worried about my father" he whispered to her looking at Kryken.

"Why??" Sari asked becoming concerned.

she furowed her eyebrows and looked at klowd. "Is he okay?" asked Sari.

" he has been acting strangely since some time ago....." he said a little sad

"I'll speak to him." she smiled and she padded of to see him.

Kryken was sat not faraway. Sari walked over. "Hi, i'm sari. your son is worried about you and i said i would talk to you!!" Sari smiled sitting next to him. "Are you okay?" she asked.

" No!, don't say him anything!" said Klowd hopefully that his father hasn't heard her yet.

Sari looked at Klowd. "He didn't hear me!" she called.
