Nova was starting to feel the exhaustion. For two solid hours she had run with the world on her tail. The young lioness couldn't bare the thought of them catching her, so she ran.. And ran. Pushed herself beyond her limits. Pushed her muscles as much as she could until at last they all finally seized up and she could run no more.
Nova hit the floor with such force she even yelped with the shock and pain. The dust around her began to scatter around the fallen lioness and the sun beat down on her worn out body as she lay in the Savannah tired and vulnerable.
When a few minutes had passed, the young lioness lifted her head and looked up into the Savannah. She was in lands unknown to her now and that itself made her feel weary and afraid. With great effort, she pushed herself to her paws and began to walk once again.
"Can't rest.. Can't let them find me... Won't let them find me.." She chanted with every few steps.
