Two months after the death of Msaliti we gathered to honor the hero of the "The Great War." The queen approached the rock and looked down towards her family. Her family looked up and yawned a sigh of relief. 

She began to speak. "The Great War has come and gone. We have grown older and earned more experience in this war. My children have aged over the course. I thank my sister, who selflessly denied Msaliti's orders and decided to save her kind. 

I thank my king. Who led us in this time of chaos and betrayal. He stepped down from on high and humbled himself as one of us. He never faltered or gave up even when times seemed devastating.

I thank my friends who helped me and looked up to me. I thank the lioness who helped raise my children in the time of trouble. The war hurt us all individually. We lost seven lionesses and their children in this war. 

I thank the fire who made quick work of Msaliti. And lastly I thank you all, for never leaving the cause. You never faltered or betrayed." she paused. "Well some of you." She said eyeing Mthunzi. "And lastly I want to look forward to a great and glorious future. Pain, hunger, sadness all of these things are defeated.

We are an unstoppable force that cannot be shaken. We are the Hunters of Giants!!" She then uttered a roar in which we all responded with a roar louder than an elephant. The undefiant, undefeated, queen of the savanna had proven herself worthy in many things.

Saving my life. Defending her children. And making sure the threat was eliminated. But Haki didn't care for the fame. After the gathering she went back to play with her children.

She decided to do the right thing and protect her own. I'm proud of her.  She knew what the right thing to do was and took action for the right cause. My king also has become a noble and worthy ruler. And for this reason he is the...."

She paused

"The Lord of The Savanna."
