In the previous chapter: Fuli learns more about her origins and discovers the legend of Kuelimika. Upon returning home, someone follows her, and 15 years later, Fali reveals Fuli's secret to her father: her escapades beyond Wasiojulikana.
Fuli: Can I go outside for some fresh air?
Ujasiri: Absolutely not, Fuli! I'm going to ask you a question, and beware if you lie to me.
Fuli: But I'm telling you, I didn't go there!
Ujasiri: Are you...
Fuli: Dad, listen to me!
Ujasiri: ...going to the other...
Fuli: Mom, tell him to listen to me.
Usafi: ...
Ujasiri: ...side of Wasiojulikana?
Fali: There's no point in lying, little sister.
Fuli (panicked): I... I...
Ujasiri: I'm still waiting for an answer.
Fuli: Alright, you win. Yes, I went beyond Wasiojulikana, and I had MY reasons for going there.
Ujasiri: I can't believe it, how could you do this?
Fuli: I just told you, I...
Ujasiri: HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME???!!!!
Fuli (on the verge of tears): Dad, I...
Ujasiri: DO YOU THINK I CARE ABOUT YOUR EXCUSES???!!!!! YOU'VE DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED ME THIS TIME, AND YOU KNEW PERFECTLY WELL THAT YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO GO THERE!!!!
*Fuli tries to approach, but receives a violent claw strike, leaving a scar on her left eye*
Fuli: ....
Ujasiri: You will be judged first thing tomorrow, for now, you will confine yourself to your room.
Fuli: Dad, please...
Ujasiri: NOW!!!!!
*Fuli goes to her room, tears filling her eyes*
Fuli (in tears): What a fool I am, of course he wouldn't have listened to me. And to think that all this is the fault of that cursed serpent. Rraahhh, I should have taken the time to think.
*Fuli looks at her reflection in a nearby puddle of water and gazes in horror at her own scarred reflection*
???: It's ugly, isn't it?
Fuli: Who's there? Is that you, Mufasa?
???: Not this time.
Fuli: Then who the heck are you?!
*A ghostly shadow appears before Fuli. It resembles a cheetah with blue eyes and a scar over the left eye*
???: I am Kuelimika, one of the founders of the Pride Lands and other kingdoms.
Fuli: You... you're the one from the legend?
Kuelimika: Indeed, and I've been observing you for a while now, Fuli.
Fuli: Not surprising when you know I have your blood.
Kuelimika: Indeed, you have my blood, and that's perfectly normal.
