It starts...

"Majani seems a little upset by the whole thing..." Asha comments, "It probably would've been better if he wasn't there; he's still a very young lion, and has never killed, or helped to kill another lion before."

Katai's ears go slightly down, "Namabi is also still very young, as am I. Badrani was an adult when Namabi was a cub."

[King Simba]

"Older than Funsani and Gasira I think." replies Katai.

[King Simba]

"Don't think so. Funsani and Gasira will be though." says Katai.

[King Simba]

"Um...I don't know. I don't want to end up meeting up with him when I die." says Katai.

[King Simba]

"Namabi will go with the King and Queens then I guess. I hope it's a long time too." he nuzzles her back.

"It is said that all lions go to the stars, though the kings are the greatest of the stars. Most are cleansed of their evil and find peace. But a few of the most evil return as spirits to haunt the world, finding no comfort in the stars. There they stir trouble and try to convince others to turn to evil."

[King Simba]

Katai smiles and takes a look outside the den up to the morning sky as he wanders.

[King Simba]

Katai sighs, "I'm worried." he says still looking up to the sky.

[King Simba]

"The bit about the stars. I'm worried about meeting up with Badrani again." replies Katai looking down to Kiros.

[King Simba]

Katai sighs, "Well I hope what she says is true."

Kenyi decides to step out of the cavern at night as Simba and the other lioness are both asleep. He gazes up at the stars and wonders.

"I've been on this journey for so long...when will I ever find rest?" He thinks to himself as he pads out into the grasslands

"Well, that's what has been passed down from generation to generation..." Kiros smiles up to Katai, nuzzling his paws, "Don't worry about it..."

Simba stirs and notices Kenyi isn't next to him. "Kenyi?" Simba shouts, standing outside the den so as to not wake the lioness.

Katai smiles, "Thanks for reminding me about that."
He walks back over to Asha and the cubs.

[King Simba]

"Not so worried anymore." grins Katai.

"I couldn't sleep...there's just no way I can ever truly sleep..." Kenyi sighs to himself. "What are you doing awake anyways, you're suppose be asleep aren't you?" Kenyi asks.

[King Simba]

Katai sighs, "We're some of the first up."

"I'm in the grasslands." Kenyi said softly.

"Yeah..." Asha smiles to Katai, "You were nice to sleep on." she giggles.

"I'm glad about that. The cubs slept well too." Katai nuzzles all four cubs.

Kopa said to his mate " He, wanna go somehere??" If we want, we have to do it now Kryken"

"Yeah... aren't they just the most wonderful creatures?" Asha purrs to Katai.

"Still, they need to be fed in the morning." purrs Katai. "Well, we all do."

"Nothing's wrong, I just can't sleep is all." Kenyi lays on his back looking up at the stars. "I just can't."

Kryken looks all around him and then back at Kopa. "Okay, let's go now."
Kry slowly tip-toes across the den, signaling Kopa to follow his lead in sneaking out.
