The new danger in the land

[TheWhistlerify]

Marini slowly nodded. "Okay..." She felt like being in a quite place and clearing her head a little bit. Besides, it was where she'd met the white lion for the first time. Perhaps... Perhaps she'd see him there now? Turning around, she began making her way there.

Under the hammock was a small log. It had writing carved on it. Tua had forgotten to put it up before he left.

[TheWhistlerify]

Arriving by the hammock, Marini noticed the log. She couldn't recall ever seeing it before, so she went over to inspect it.

[Adofo]

On the log it said "Today I am going to ask Marini to give me one last chance. I don't expect her to say yes. Even though the things I wrote about her before are probably meaningless now, they are still how I feel. I know she is the love of my life but maybe I'm not cut out to be hers. With this I vow that if we ever get back together, when she will dump me, to give up on love forever. If my heart can't belong to her, then it belongs to no one."

[TheWhistlerify]

After reading what was said on the log, Marini let out a frustrated groan and shoved it aside. Knowing that, if she said no, Tua would give up on love forever was only making her feel even more pressured. It was like she was being forced to either ruin his chances of getting married for the sake of her own happiness or to get back together with him should it be what her heart desired. But how was she supposed to figure out if that was what she wanted when everything was all being continuously thrown at her face?

The log flew and hit a pile of logs that were hidden behind large leaves. They rolled out everywhere. The closest one to Marini was an old one from when Tua was a cub. It read "Today I asked around the pride if they wanted a son to take care of. Some i hinted at and some i just asked. But no good. The ones i hinted at didn't get it and the ones i asked said things like they are too busy hunting to take care of a cub. I know they were lying just to spare my feelings. They only hunt for about two hours a day. Why does no one want me? I guess I'm just unlovable."

[TheWhistlerify]

Letting out another sigh, Marini quickly put all the logs back into place and then settled down on the hammock. Not only was she not supposed to be reading them, but they were also not letting her give her already irritated mind some rest.

[Adofo]

That night Tua came by to relax but he saw Marini was still there.
Tua: Oh! Marini! You're here! It's okay. I'll go.

[TheWhistlerify]

Shaking her head, Marini got off the hammock. "It's fine. I was just about to leave anyway." It was his special spot at the end of the day, not hers.

[Adofo]

Tua: Actually...theres something i need to tell you. It's yours. All yours. Just i guess to make up for the stupid junk i did. So yeah. It's yours now.
