Malaika stood up slowly stretching. It took him longer than he expected to get up since he nearly fell back asleep. He looked at simbaji from the cave entrance and thought how pure and innocent the cub looked totaly oblivious to his past. Only once had he gone looking and had came across a lion who wanted to take over the pridelands. It was because of Malaika that another cub had been killed. Or nearly kiled. She was brought into the pride lands when Malaiak had found her.

It hurt to think about it again but how could he not. Everybody had their own past and it wasn't very good to go looking for some ones past lest you yourself are prepared for the consequences.

Malaika shook the thoughts from his head. His own past wasn't a very pleasant one. He still couldn't understand why he could talk with the earth. Once they reached the valley pride homelands he thought all would become clear.

He smiled to himself thinking of the good times they had had together. He hoped some day they could be together forever.
