Simba snarled at Mstari. "Let him go." He unsheathed his claws.
"Wait!" Adena thrust her way forward. "Don't take him! Take me instead."
Mstari curled her lip. "All right, cubby, you've got courage for a puny three-week old cub," she said. "Hatari, Kuchoma, untie the human and give him back to these lions. Come, cubby."
"No!" Yekize shrieked. "Adena!"
Adena didn't turn to look back at Mstari. Mstari smiled devilishly. "Attack!"
The battle raged on and on until finally, Simba yelled, "Fine! I surrender!"
"I knew you would," Mstari sneered. "All right, we didn't knock the human out too bad. He should be awake in half an hour or so. Arida, Monifa, since the rogues have won the battle..." She didn't finish her sentence. She just beckoned with her striped, un-tufted tail. "Come." She turned around. Arida and Monifa reluctantly followed.
Only about twenty minutes later, Adofo woke up. Yekize was crying silently in the corner of the cave.
