Start of the Rainy season:
The sun could barely shine through the thick grey clouds and they seemed to consume what was left of blue skies. The sky cracked and lightning flashed as the clouds warned the animals of the upcoming rain, a silence washed over the jungle. The first day of the rainy season was always the scariest where the thunder boomed the loudest and the lightning lit up the skies.
Marrone stepped from the den and looked to Sarafina and Shujaa, "You must go now and quickly, you need to be out of the jungle before it rains." he instructed softly. He nodded to both of them and looked down at Dyanna, "Your welcome to come visit Tempy anytime you want and we'll let Zuwa and everyone come visit you. Goodluck little one." he whispered to Dyanna.
Mheetu hugged his mother and father and stepped back near Marrone, "Tell everyone I miss them and love them, I love you both two be safe." he said his mossy green eyes watching his family prepare to go. He looked up at the sky and he never seen such a scene and every time the thunder cracked he winced slightly, he looked at Marrrone; he never winced a inch.
Tempesta hugged Dyanna tightly and sniffled, "Good luck. Remember me please, don't forget where you came from." she said softly before releasing. A smile crossed her muzzle and she nodded to Sarafina. She stepped back beside Delano, "This is the 2nd hardest day of my life.." she whispered to him.
Dyanna's furry cheeks had tear stains and she hugged Tempy and everyone else. She waved goodbye to Zuwa and yelled, "Dont forget to visit!" as loud as she could.
Sarafina smiled, "Good luck to you through this rough season." she added and grabbed Dyanna's scruff. She carried her softly in her mouth as Shujaa lead the way into the jungle. She followed close behind them as fast as she could, it was time to head home; she thought.
Marrone sighed and stared up at the waterfall, his grey eyes closing slowly. The season for rain approached faster then he thought and he looked for Nyembe, he had to get his son ready. "Tempy,Mheetu and Delano go patrol for now. It wont rain for a couple more hours." he ordered and watched his pride disperse.
