"I can't move" Miale replied "I can't"
"I will help you back" Twilight replied "Don't you worry" then he looked at Katai "Sooner we leave the better; he may return with friends"
"Thats the last thing I want to happen" Jasiri said sadly

"I can't move" Miale replied "I can't"
"I will help you back" Twilight replied "Don't you worry" then he looked at Katai "Sooner we leave the better; he may return with friends"
"Thats the last thing I want to happen" Jasiri said sadly
"Yeah...the sooner the better..." Katai is weak and needs time to gain his strength back, however he stands up watching the blood drip from his muzzle. He leaves a trail of blood on the barren ground.
Guan coughs a little more, "...dad, my head hurts..." he cries a little in pain.
"Guan...don't worry, we'll sort it out when we return...Miale will need to be seen to too..." he lifts Guan up by the scruff of his neck.
"Yeah I know" Twilight replied picking Miale up by the scruff and looked at Katai; he motioned with his to paw to Jasiri to follow.
Jasiri nodded and padded away.
Miale breathing remained shallowed and Miale drifted off again into unconciousness.
Katai's reactions are now slower due to all the fighting and the injuries Myka gave him, "Dad..." Guan looks up to Katai coughing a little, "...what's...wrong?"
After crossing the border into the Pride Lands, Katai places Guan on the floor, "I'm a little worn...out, Guan." he collapses to the floor again.
A tear falls from Guan's eyes, "Dad...are you gonna be ok?"
Katai looks at Guan, "Yes Guan, I'll be fine. I'm a strong lion...it's okay." he licks Guan's head clean.
Twilight and Jasiri followed Katai back into the Pridelands. Seeing Katai collapse to the floor he rushed to his side and stood above him placing Miale soflty on the ground.
"We have to keep going Katai" Twilight said concerend before looking at Miale who had once again slipped into unconciousness; Twilight sighed sadly and nuzzled Miale trying to wake him up but getting no response. Another tear ran down his cheek and fell to the ground.
"Wake up Miale....wake up"
Jasiri sat down away from the group shaken up and lightly scratched seeing the images in his head about what just happened.
(Hehe, don't worry. I wasn't planning on any death anyways. =))
Katai rests after being carried on Reth's back. Guan closes his eyes too, not as much blood is pouring from his head now.
Twilight picks up Miale again by the scruff and follows the others padding as fast as he could to keep up with them.
Jasiri follows as well but lags behind still in shock.
Katai stirs a little, his right paw moves. He is still in a lot of pain with his injured muzzle but waits for Asha to come back. He rubs his muzzle with his paw looking at all the blood on his paw after he takes it off.
Twilight padded on with the others till they got back and placed the unconcious Miale on the ground once more; sighing slightly he lay down in front of him placing the cub on his paws.
"How you doing Katai?" Twilight questioned to Katai looking over at him concerened.
Miale opened his eyes once again his breathing had improved slightly but it still remained quite shallow. He tried to move his paws or some part of his body but it refused to do so.
"Not too good..." Katai pants a little, "...I'm...worn out...to be honest..." he looks up to Twilight, "...I'm just waiting...for Asha to...get back with Guan...so she can do something with this muzzle of...mine."
"You will be ok Katai" Twilight said looking at Katai smiling sadly at him "Your a good strong lion....you will be better in no time" he looked at Katai for a moment and averted his eyes away before looking at him again "I'm sorry about Guan...I know hes going to be ok; poor cubs are going to suffer for a little while because of what happened" he sighed looking down at Miale noticing that he was awake again.
"How do you feel Miale?" he asked concerned nuzzling his son.
"I can't feel anything still" Miale replied "I'm sorry about all the trouble.....we didn't mean for this to happen" he sighed slightly; a tear rolled down his cheek "We all paid in one way or the other" he said crying.
Katai scrunches his nose up and yawns. He rests his head on his front paws and watches the weak cubs. He sighs sadly and waits for the others to return.
Katai scrunches his face up when Asha smears the runny substance on his muzzle, he moans a little in pain but relaxes. After Asha does this he smiles a bit up to her, "Thanks Asha. You really have a gift for curing and sorting out injuries..." he then pauses, "Guan...cut his head though." he sighs sadly, his ears droop.
"Its not you fault Miale...its none of you fault" Twilight replied nuzzling the cub before looking over at Asha "Miale doesn't seem to have any cuts but he can't seem to move" he said looking worried "What you thinks wrong?" he questioned.
"Am I going to be alright?" Miale questioned looking about the den at Katai and Asha
"Miale, you're a strong cub...you'll be alright." Katai looks over to Miale before looking back to Guan and Asha.
"I sure hope so" Miale sighed closing his eyes sighing some more.
"You'll be ok son" Twilight replied nuzzling the cub "So will Guan and you Katai" he smiled slightly
"I'll live through this...it wasn't that bad of an injury so I should be fine..." Katai looks at Twilight and Miale sitting up slighty, still laying on his side.
"Could of been worse though" Twilight replied "Lucky so many came in support" he said looking out the cave "Very lucky" he said shivering slightly.
"Thank you Katai and dad" Miale said with his eyes still closed "I can't thank you enough"
"It's alright...I always like to be there for other pride members. Most importantly, I don't like to see any innocent lion killed by an outlander...or any lion for that matter. It's no problem, Miale. You, Guan and Jasiri are very lucky...if I never came you'd probably be dead now...if Twilight, Asha or Reth never came...it'd be worse for me too..." he looks up to Twilight, "Thanks, Twilight." he then turns to his mate and son, "Thanks, Asha...I couldn't thank you enough for all that you've done for me and fellow pride members..." he nuzzles her and then looks at Reth, "...thanks Reth...my son. You'll turn out to be an hell of a lion when you grow up to be fully grown...you've already shown that today." he smiles to Reth.
"No problem Katai" Twilight smiled "Anything to help a family member and a friend" he said nuzzling Miale again.
Miale opened his eyes and looked about again trying to move his paws but still couldn't making him sigh loadly once more.
