[OOC: OK, I'll be Nala]
Nala was running as fast as she could. Her feet were practically flying off the ground. She had to get away from this place before the hyenas noticed she was missing. Her mother and some other lionesses had sent her find help. Maybe she could find some loner lion who could help them overthrow Scar. True, the Circle of Life would be broken, the Great Kings of the Past would be furious, and a stranger would be their king, but it was better than having Scar rule over them. Under his rule, the Pridelands were crumbling, all the animals had left, and there was no food anywhere. It was only a matter of time before the whole place was utterly and completely destroyed.
When she had reached the edge of a mile-high cliff, she paused to catch her breath. Before her was the longest, driest, and hottest desert she had ever seen. It's surface was pitted with cracks, and vultures circled lazily overhead, looking for a meal. Nala surpressed the urge to turn back. She reminded herself that she was doing this for her mother and the rest of the pride.
Taking a deep breath, Nala climbed down the cliff and into the desert.
