When they arrive back at Pride Rock, they find a nice, cosy place to put Katai down to rest. Namabi feels bad about what he did.
Roku slides in and out of unconciousness, yet feels safe on the back of this strange creature. His neck was covered with deep red, thick warm fur, and despite the heat of the land, she felt releived as she heard the thundering heart beating. Roku tries to speak to her rescuers, but cannot regain conciousness. She can hear them slightly, but is to weak to speak. Fear still clouds her heart as she enters this new place. For a split second, Roku saw the great rock in the distnace, stading out onthe horizon, as the black flood took her again. And then Roku had a dream. A dream of being alone. She wanted someone, anyone beside her, but there was no one.
"I feel bad, it was my idea to go swinging on the vines, I wasn't expecting any of this to happen." replies Namabi with his head and ears down.
Lunara pads in to the den and sees how miserable and sad Namabi is.
Lunara looks at Asha and Namabi. "What's gone off? Why is Namabi like this? What is wrong with Katai?"
Lunara's began to perk down, "Oh, so that's why you're so sad Namabi." she says giving him a nuzzle.
Lunara smiles to Namabi with her ears still perked down, she goes to look after the cubs.
Namabi looks over to Katai. He lays down for a rest hoping Katai will be ok.
Katai's paw moves, his eyes slowly open. He sees Asha who is sad next to him. He moves to let her know.
He takes a look around, seeing his best friend and mate sad as well as some other members of Namabi's pride.
Roku, the wold/fox slept silently, her body aching terribly. How long she slept, she did not know, only the scent of an odd creature who treated her wounds with strange smelling herbs and medecines that stang, yet made her wounds feel better. He kept saying "Asante Sana squash banana"Quote:

*********************************
Simba places the fox down gently in the den, smiling down at her(?). He gently sets her down in a warm corner so she can get warmed up.
Roku slipped in and out of darkness, until finally she came to. She looked around. She was in a dark cave, as light shone in from outside. There was a jutting rock, and then she realized she was INSIDE the rock from the horizon. Roku tried to get up, yet stumbled again. She was very stiff, yet felt much better. Her throat was parched and she desperately needed water. She was weak stumbling around the cave. She had no idea where she really was or how she got there;she was so confused and frightened, these unfamiliar strange smells flooding her nostrils. She tried to find a way to get water, but could scent nothing but the smells of strange animals (aka lions) in the cave, interesting and new. She followed the light, trying to get to water, and as she came out of the cave, looked in awe as the sun rose over this strange new land of Africa.:thirsty: Oh, so parched!!!
"Her?" :lol:
Katai smiles a bit to Asha moving his tail over her.
Katai lifts his paw up.
(Ok. ;))
"Yeah..." replies Katai. He was still very weak.
Roku looked at the strange creature, and somehow knew he was a lion. He was even more impressive than she imagines. His large mane made him look bigger than he was, and he was strong too.Quote:

"Do you need a drink, or anything to eat?" Simba offers Roku politely, "There is plenty to eat, and a fresh water hole." he smiles to her, "If you don't want, you can just sleep here if you wish." he grins slightly to her.
"Water?" Roku said, her eyes lighting at the thought, and followed some lionesses to the water hole. She felt awkward, because she did not look like any of the others. She smiled. She felt better, a litle better, maybe. She just wondered how she would ever get home. She wanted to talk to them, but was to nervous.
Katai attempts to get up, he finally stands up.Quote:

"I love you." she lets a few tears fall from her eyes as she watches her weak mate. She nuzzles him and lays down next to him again.
Katai looks around to Asha, "I'm feeling a bit better. At least I can walk now." he smiles a bit.
Roku talks to Simba as they walk "I dont know where I am, or how I got here really. I am not from this place-I come from lands to the far west, where it is a very different land than the savannah. Some strange creatures on 2 legs captured me and took me here, but they treated me cruely. That is why I was so weak when you found me. Where I come from....." Roku explains to Simba about her homeland, and about the mountains, the pines, and the snow. Roku tries to explain "snow" as best she can.....kind of like sand that falls from the sky and melts. :cheese:Quote:

Simba smiles to Roku, accompanying her to the water hole, "Drink as much as you want, there's plenty." he tells her, smiling again.
*********************************
"Are you feeling any better? Did the leaves help?" Asha asks Katai, nuzzling him.
"A little bit, I'm still feeling a little drowsy though..." replies Katai. His eyes were turning black on the outside and were half shut, not wide open.
I am a hybrid of a fox and a wolf. A wolf is kind of like a hyena, only leaner and much more intelligent, the opposite of a hyenea. A fox is a small creature, colored like me of red and white, with a large furry tail. A small intelligent wild dog! It seems we have both been touched by the humans. That is something we both can relate to. I have been watching you lions. You are much like myself - you hunt together, you live together as a family, and have a leader who is brave and strong. You understand the balance of the world. By the way, I bit that human as he tried to feed me....that is how I escaped. :cheese: I think I took quite a chunk out of him.....Quote:

"Wow, that sounds quite amazing..." Simba smiles to Roku, "Don't worry, you're safe here, although I've never met a creature like you before. What exactly are you, I hope I don't sound impolite asking that." Simba smiles again politely. "I think the two legged creatures are called humans, they are awful things which sometimes try to kill us..." Simba growls angrily.
*********************************
Katai looks at Asha with his drowsy, poorly looking eyes. He collapses down to the floor again.
Katai's eyes stay open, only just. His breathing is very heavy now.
"Actually he was quite bitter.....:DQuote:

"Hush hush, get some more sleep then my love." she nuzzles him gently, "You can rest here for as long as you want."
**********************************
"Was he tasty?" Simba grins to Roku, "What's your name anyway?" he asks politely, "My name is Simba, and I'm the King of the Pride here. Our home is called Pride Rock, and there are lots of lions living here. Thanks for the compliment." he smiles, "Although I wouldn't say I was too brave or strong." he laughs.
My name is Roku. You seem brave and strong to me, at least. So you're the "head of the pack" here? Interesting! I am sure I can learn a lot from this place. I am liking it here already." Roku looked around and smiled, and all of a sudden leaps into the river near the water hole.
"I had to do that, I smelled like a hyena......ayecapn: "
Roku's flowing fur was now drenched. She looked like a drowned hyena.:cheese: : *shakes, stretches*
Roku watches Katai. She felt sypathy because she was weak herself. She was not sure of what was happening, but could sense the sadness in the air. She watched from a distance, her heart sad as she felt tears.
Katai was still breathing heavily, "I...won't...leave...you." he says in a very weak and ill voice.Quote:

"Get some rest..." she tells him, crying sadly, "Just don't leave me for good... Katai, I love you." she purrs gently to him, trying to relax him, tears pouring down her face as she whimpers sadly.
A tear also drops from Katai's eye, he lifts his paw up again and looks up to Asha, "I...promise...I won't...leave you." he takes deep breaths whilst saying this.
Katai tries to give Asha a smile, he finds it difficult to speak. "I...love...you, Ash..a."
OH, a pride! Sorry for the mistake. But Katai....what happened to him?Quote:

Simba smiles a little, "A Pride... I'm head of the Pride." he informs her politely, "We call ourselves a Pride instead of a Pack." Simba laughs a little as she jumps into the water, and he grins widely, before looking back at Katai. "Poor poor thing..." he sighs sadly, thinking about what's happening to Katai, "I sure hope he recovers..."
Katai's eyes close slowly, he was still breathing heavily.
A tear drops from Namabi's eye, "Is he..." not hoping to hear the worst.
Katai is still breathing heavily, fighting for his life.
Katai's eyes open a bit, he touches Asha with his paw, "I'm...not." he says.
Taking deep breaths, Katai tells her. "Around, in...my...stomach."
"It, feels...painful." replies Katai.
Katai opens his mouth and eats the berries.
Katai's eyes seem to open wider and go less black. His breathing got less loud and heavy.
Katai's face lights up in a smile, his paleness started to go. "Feels a lot better." he says.
Katai stands up, "Hey, those berries did work!" he says very happily.
"Those nasty furballs! They nearly costed my life...and you." he grins up to Asha.
Katai gets up, he was now full of life.
"Hey Namabi!"
Namabi is still sat there with his head down and tears falling from his eyes.
"Huh?" he says turning his head around.
Namabi smiles and hugs Katai, "Glad you're alright, mate." he says.
Katai nuzzles her back. He hugs Namabi back. "It was YOU who had the idea of the swinging vines." he giggles and winks to Namabi.
"Grr, now I'm wet again!" laughs Katai pouncing on top of Asha.
