Namabi pads over to look at Jaini. "He looks as though he's growing up. My cubs acted different at this stage too."
"Yeah. This is the time you have to watch them from trying to walk off too." laughs Namabi.
Jaini tries to get away, Katai grabs him, "Whoa, where do you think you're off to?"
"You can escape when you get older, don't you worry." Katai nuzzles the cubs.
"Hopefully." says Katai.
Quick Note: i am still miliski i just made up aother charchter but i jioned up with my other email adress. so instead of miliski i am Black Gem. p.s Black Gem is Miliski's daughter and the outsiders cub as well as Novu.
Miliski walked over and sat down next to the rest. "They're cute cubs, i wish my stillborn was alive!" she began to cry and lent her hesd on a nearby rock. A few momments later she sat up and managed a weak smile. "Can i come were ever your going?" She asked wiping her eys with her paw.
"Sure, i would love to come for a walk." Miliski smiled. She walked with him out of the cave. "Can we go to the Welcoming Glade, thats were me and my mate first met?" Miliski sighed.
p.s later can we say they went to sleep and skip forward six months pleease? cause then i can also use Black Gem and Novu. i'm dieing to use them.
Katai nuzzles her back, "That's no problem. I did it for you and me."Quote:

"Yeah..." Asha gulps a little, "Otherwise the poor things could be in big trouble... of course they'll be playful cubs like any other cubs though." she grins happily, nuzzling Katai, "Thank you again..." she purrs.
Katai purrs and nuzzles her. "I love you too."Quote:

Katai hears his stomach rumble. "I sure am."
"Thanks mate." Katai smiles to Majani also tucking in.
An ancient, weathered lion roamed the savanna, his scarred and matted features brimming with wisdom. His once handsome, dark mane and golden fur had since weathered almost into gray, like the colors had simply washed away with the torrential rains. Once powerful, defined features were now covered in scars and tufts of gnarled fur.
He had trotted through a long desert, coming at last upon this savanna and the lands of an unknown pride. A great rock feature dominated the lands of this pride, it's gray surface reaching for the skies. What a wonderous thing this place is, he thought as he crept silently through the grasslands. His paws touched so lightly upon the soil that they barely left a mark of his passing.
This is truly a strange land, the old, tattered lion thought. He had passed an elephant graveyard, laden with the smells and bones of death. He had quenched his thirst at a nearby water hole, filled with the tracks of many animals, including other lions. This rock must be their home, he thought, it's where I would place my home if I were King. Perhaps they will offer sanctuary for a weary traveller.
He sat on his scarred haunches and bellowed a greeting, hoping he would not just be cast out again....
Katai took a few more bites out of the zebra before sitting down again.Quote:

"Anytime..." Majani grins to Katai, eating his fill before laying down on his side and going to sleep.
"Lazy tubby lion..." Kiros laughs to Majani jokingly, pouncing on the adult's stomach, before curling up and sleeping on him.
Katai saw Jaini and Karia just sat there looking around curiously, "Go on, time for milk." he grins.
"I am simply a traveller... I have no name anymore. But I grow old, wandering alone becomes more and more dangerous, especially with the hyenas outside your lands. I would ask for sanctuary in your pride... I have much wisdom to offer in return."
The old traveller watched the younger lion carefully, cautious of any sign of hostility. But he could see none, the king seemed very wise and gentle. He hoped he could end his travels here, never before had he come upon such a wonderous land.
Katai smiles and looks at the cubs suckling.Quote:

Asha laughs, pulling Karia and Jaini close to her with a paw, letting them suckle.
Katai stays sat up and decides to go outside to take the fresh rain.Quote:

Asha nuzzles Katai once more happily, before curling up with the cubs, allowing them to suckle whilst she gets a little rest...
"See ya. Going outside." says Katai padding towards the den entrance still hearing the rain fall.
The traveller followed Simba into the den, glad to have shelter for the first time in ages. Perhaps he could sleep well tonight, not having to worry about hyena attacks.
"Thank you.... I had a name once, perhaps I shall earn it back again. Until then, I am just 'the traveller' "
He could see tiny pawprints in the dust and soil nearby, and he wondered. He had not seen cubs in many years. Would they enjoy his stories? Or would they fear him?
"It's raining Kry, I think we should shade ourselves under a tree..." Kenyi tells Kryken.
"Yeah, let's go."
Kenyi and Kryken walk over to a nice well-shaded tree as Kry snuggled up to his Dad. Kenyi wrapped his arms and paws over Kry, keeping him nice, secure and warm.
"Wow...it's raining a lot, isn't it?"
"Yeah..." Kenyi said as he looked up at the sky, seeing the rain fall gently to the ground.
Kenyi smiled at Kry and stepped into the rain. He lied on his back looking above the dark clouded sky, feeling the every inch of rain pat against is body.
Kry stared at his father. "Dad, won't you get sick or cold?" Kry asked.
"No, I won't and I like the rain very much..." Kenyi sighed as he took in more of the cloud's cold tears.
"It feels...just as I remembered it before..." Kenyi thought to himself. "Everything..."
Katai nods and sits down at the entrance.Quote:

"You might want to stay inside." Simba smiles to Katai, "The rain is heavy... I'll be back soon..." he runs off.
Simba runs back to the swamp with Kryken and Kenyi, enjoying playing with his friends again.
***********************************
"Who are you?" Majani looks up, and speaks to the new lion, "Has Simba accepted you into our Pride?" he smiles a little. He knows that because he is younger he would probably be able to overpower the lion if he attacked.
Katai feels a raindrop splash on his nose. He stays sat there watching the rain fall across the pride lands.
"I am called the traveller, your king has granted me sanctuary."
The traveller could see that the younger lion was sizing him up. Well that's familiar enough, he thought. But he was not worried. While he could not hope to match the younger lion's strength if he proved to be hostile... he was far more experienced. His scars were not earned lightly. Yet he did not wish to start on bad terms with the younger lion...
"Perhaps you can tell me more about this kingdom and the others in this pride."
Katai looks around, "Sure, I am. Just not tired."
"Hey Simba!!!" Kry shouted. "My Dad's doin' something."
"It's nothing." Kenyi padded back to the tree as he shook off the rain from his fur. "What're you doing here Simba? Should you be in the den keeping yourself warm from this cold rain?" asked Kenyi.
Katai looks over to 'the traveller' and then looks back on to the pride lands again.
Miliski, now six months pregnaut looked up. She padded over. "Who's this?" she asked eyeing the traveller.
p.s please look at my tread about The missing truth. i need 9 more supporters so can you please cheack this out.
Black Gem/Miliski
:D :cheese:
Katai looks around to Asha, "Of course I'm ok. Why wouldn't I be?" he grins.
"I'm not tired. Just looking out on to the pride lands. I love to hear the sound of the rain." says Katai smiling.
Katai smiles and pads over to sit with her and the cubs.
"We care about you too Simba." Kenyi smiled back.
Kryken looked up at his father and back at Simba.
"We sure do Simba!" Exclaimed Kry. "You're the King after all."
"From what I can see, yes." Katai grins and nuzzles her.
The traveller relaxed a bit and turned to answer Majani.
"I had a name once, but it was taken from me. It's a long story and I'll tell it some other time."
The traveller turned to face Miliski, noting that she obviously had cubs on the way.
"I'm just an old wandering lion. But I see you are on your way to becoming a mother? Are there many cubs in this pride? It would be a pleasure to see them, as I have not seen cubs in many years."
Namabi pads over to the traveller. "Hey there." he greets him with a friendly smile.
Katai smiles and looks across to the elder lion.
Namabi smiles, "Me and Lunara also have cubs. They must've been the ones you saw earlier."
"Excuse me." Kenyi turned away from Simba as he walked into the rain as he made his way into his den.
"Hey Dad wait!!" Kry tried running through the wet grass trying to make his way to his father. "Dad!" Kenyi just continued running as he finally made his towards his den.
"Dad...what's wrong?" Kry frowned.
"Nothing...it just got a bit cold on the inside...a bit deep."
"Huh?"
Kenyi went to see who was in the cavern as he approached the new traveller.
"Hello there. My name's Kenyi and this is my son Kryken, I hope you enjoy your stay here." Kenyi said in a polite way as he went back into his den.
"Hi my name's Kryken and that's my Dad, I'll see ya around sometime." Kry said hurriedly as ran back into his warm den. "You look...a bit cold Dad..."
"It's probably the sickness of this cold."
"Will you get better?"
"We'll see...depends."
"Cubs are always a great pleasure to see for the old."
The traveller smiled, looking down on them. Then a frown crossed his features as he thought back to his own cubs... long dead to a hyena attack.
"I wish I could have seen mine grow... but I was destined to outlive my family."
He shook off the unwanted thoughts and smiled again at the tiny cubs suckling with their mother.
"This pride is filled with good lions and lionesses, it is a pity I did not find this land earlier."
He nodded to Namabi, Asha and Katai in turn before laying out on the rock and resting.
Katai smiles to the traveller and stands up having not being tired.
"Yeah. I was single when I first came here but I found someone." he grins to the traveller.
"I've always had a mate, can't remember the last time it was when I was without one." grins Namabi nuzzling Lunara.
