Askari

I follow the unknown lion across the dry plains, he's heading towards a rock formation, stark outlines of pridelanders embellish it's otherwise dull form. The male's fur is a dark auburn, with a thick black mane and tail tip; a long scar runs down his face, he looks my age....

"I am Kovu," he says.

I nod "Askari."

We continue on in silence. I wonder what he's thinking about......

A few moments later

Kovu climbs up to a small entrance in the side of the great rock, leaving me for a few moments. I stare at the scenery around me, real beauty......

Shouting from inside the caves brings me back to the present.

There's something familiar about this place....

"Kiara!"

I recognise that name....

I lie down with a sigh, resting my heavy head on my paws. I am a light auburn in colouring, with an dark brown  mane and a tan underbelly; one of my eyes is a deep brown, the other a light hazel. That's why the hyenas took me, they say that I'm....cursed..

"Come in, we must talk." A lioness gestures towards the cave entrance...

What will happen to Askari in the cave? Will Kovu and Kiara ever be able to forgive him? Read on to find out....
