Delano was about to collide with Jafar, but his paws slipped on the wet mud. He fell over, but his momentum carried him into Jafar, who was unable to stop Delano's fall and both of them fell and rolled around.

Jafar was back on his feet in an instant, but Delano was unable to stand back up so quickly. Jafar took the opportunity to charge again. Delano was only able to barely avoid another collision with his brother. He dodged to the side, and turned towards his brother. By now, Delano was panting, and he desperately wanted to lye down and rest, but he couldn't. He needed to win in order to get Marrone's permission to marry Tempesta. In the sidelines, the others were saying something, but Delano couldn't make out their words anymore. All his concentration was on Jafar as his brother attacked again.

Delano's muscles protested as he dived off to the side, again avoiding Jafar. He knew that it was over. Jafar was still able to attack whenever he wanted, and Delano could only wait for the next move. He was too tired to attack anymore, and soon would tire too much to defend himself as well. But he will not give up. If he would lose, he would go down fighting...

He blinked as Marrone stepped in the middle of the ring. The king stopped the fight. It was over. Delano just stood there, panting heavily, to tired to move. He nodded to Jafar, acknowledging his brother's victory. His legs felt like they were made of wood, so Delano dropped to the ground, resting. Tempesta came over and they nuzzled. "Thanks," he told her after her compliment, in between pants, "but I lost." His heart sank when he realized what his defeat meant. He placed his head on his forelegs and closed his eyes.

Vitani followed Mheetu. "I love it here, but it's not a great place to stay. I hate this rainy weather they get every year." She growled looking up at the dripping tree branches. "But father said it's my choice if I stay or not. So I might or might not. You'll find out!" She winked, turning to watch where she was going. "Do you miss," She paused sighing, she looked up at him with a sad look. "Home?" She finished, frowning at the strong lion who she was amazed was younger than her. His size was gradually larger.

Maximus focused on Zuwa. "Hey! I'm so amazing and awesome." He said with no cocky tone, he then smiled. Lighting the tone in the den. His head turned to Himili. "Well, we can go outside now. It stopped raining for a bit, and we can walk like a family." He laughed, "We haven't done that in ages!" Maximus added, rolling his eyes in a happy mode.

Tempesta chuckled and nudged Delano's head with her own, "You didn't lose. The fight was stopped." she said with a smile. She circled Delano and laid in the soft grass beside him, resting her head on his back so her muzzle was near his ears. "Well we know theres always a bigger fight, that decides the champion every year. You've won it the past 3 years, so maybe this year you'll have some competition." she said with a smile. "Maybe I'll win it." she added her turquoise eyes side glancing at Delano. "Well Marrone said, when were ready go speak with him. So Delano, whenever your ready we can go."


Mheetu's green eyes looked down at Vitani and he stared at her hair tuft, for some reason it made him smile. "I do miss home. Its different out here, so different." he said softly. He hopped up over a log and gazed down at Vitani, "One day i'd love to be my own King." he said gazing up at the cloudy grey sky. He noticed the rain had paused for a few hours and he looked back down at Vitani. "I'm sorry about Mufasa, he was great."

Mheetu gazed around the jungle and noticed small pink flowers growing on a vine before him, he stretched out his body and his teeth caught the vine. Thinking for a moment he dragged his mouth down the vine breaking off the small flowers and sending them falling down to Vitani. He lost his footing on the slippery log and tumbled forward landing on his back in the mud next to Vitani and he chuckled, "So tell me Princess, how do you feel about being betrothed to Nyembe." he said laughing slightly and spitting out green vine leftovers. He noticed some of the pink flowers got caught in his mane and he grumbled picking at them."I'm not having those nightmares anymore...its been a few days." he added looking up at her.

[Kopalover]

Vitani frowned hearing her fathers name. Yet, then smiled wide again as the flowers fell on her light body. Mheetu fell and it alarmed her, then he stated about not having the dreams. "Mheetu, really?" She asked, looking at him and holding out a paw to allow him to stand.

"So, dad, can we practice pouncing?" Zuwa asked, happy to be doing something. "Because, Dyanna always knows when I sneak up on her. I just want to practice. PLEASE?"

Himili laughed quietly.

[Kopalover]

Maximus smiled. "Oh of course we can!" His voice sounded bright, his son wanted lessons from him! Finally, the day arrived. "Okay, my boy. Follow me." Maxi said, his proud voice rumbling through the den. A paw hit the wet ground and he smiled. Hearing his boy close behind him.

[changa]

"Okay? So, how do I keep quiet? Because if a zebra heard me, then I'd have no meal, and then, I'd be hungry, and I might even DIE and..."

Himili lay on the grass, so glad that her boys were having a little time to themselves.

[Songo]

Mheetu smiled and rolled over onto his belly facing Vitani and her outstretched paw, he flopped some squashed pink flowers in her paw. "There beautiful." he said flashing a cheesy big grin. He nodded when she spoke about his nightmares, "Its weird, sometimes I feel like i'm living deja vu." he muttered looking back up at her. "So you and Nyembe will be getting married after this wet season is over?" he asked curiously.

[Kopalover]

Maximus laughed. "Oh Zuwa. Today, you'll be hunting small thing." She paused. "You're still a little to young to hunt a full zebra." Maxi said seriously, "C'mon, even your old dad sometimes has troubles getting a good zebra. And plus, we already have enough food stacked in the den." He added, stopping his little rant. A large paw of his lifted, as he pointed to the ground and Zuwa went there. "Okay, you see that bird? I want you to catch it by surprise. Don't kill it!" He ordered, "Also, try to survey your surrounding before you hunt, watching out for branches and and obstacles that will make your hiding spot known." He added, before nodding and getting low to the ground to watch Zuwa.

Vitani smiled. "Deja vu? How?" She asked, Mheetu mentioned to marriage. "That's what is supposed to happen, but Marrone said something about a 'flower' at the marriage. I overheard him." She answered, still looking at the flowers. Turning her head, she looked into Mheetu's mossy green eyes and smiled. Butterflies filled her stomach as his eyes brightened every few moments. She couldn't understand why she was feeling this way, a feeling she's never felt was overcoming her body. yet, she wasn't scared. It was happy and exciting to experience a new feeling.

Delano smiled when Tempesta said that they can go and speak to Marrone. "That's good" he told her softly. He still had his eyes closed, but his breathing was already more relaxed and easier." Just give me a moment, then we can go." Still feeling extremely tired, he rested against Tempesta, her body providing a goos, soft surface to put his head on. "You know, you and Jafar might even be a challenge for me." he said. "It can get quite boring when you win all the time, you know?"

He rested on Tempesta until his muscles didn't feel like they were on fire anymore. Slowly, he got up, grunting from the effort. He waited until Tempesta also got up. "Let's go and see Marrone," he said, "Now's a good a time as any." Slowly, the two of them made their way to their king.
