Attack of Zuberi

[Adofo]

Adofo: Just watch yourself around here. Arida, why don't you introduce him to the others?

[Iri]

Arida: Sure thing!
*Arida leads him around the Pridelands, and Cole meets all the other lions and lionesses.*
Cole: This is a nice place, Princess Arida!
Arida: Hehe, please don't call me "princess," just call me Arida.
Cole: Oh, uh, right! Sorry, Arida.
Arida: S'okay.
Cole: This seems like a nice little home!
Arida: It is, this pride is full of friendly lions. What's your birth pride, Cole?

[Adofo]

Cole: .......I don't know. I've just always taken care of myself. Going from pride to pride offering to help out any way I can to get a temporary place to live. I don't even know my parents.

[Iri]

Arida: That... that must be tough, Cole, I'm sorry...
Hondo: Hey! Who's this? *Growls a little at Cole*
Arida: Dad, this is just the newcomer, Cole, he's not any danger!
Hondo: All right, got it...
*When Arida is out of earshot, Hondo leans close to Cole with a snarl on his face and a flinty glare in his eyes.*
Hondo: If you so much as growl at my daughter, I will rip you to pieces, got it? My daughter's other mate was horrible, and that is not about to happen again to her, do you understand?
Cole: Y-yes, sir!
Hondo: Good. Now, run along... I'll be making sure you don't harm my daughter in any way.

Later that night , Arida was laying under the stars.
Arida: What a beautiful night!
The clouds start to change. A face forms.
Desta: Arida.
( At first I was thinking Gonai's sister was also going to be Adofo's daughter. but didn't he give her cubs or something?)

[Iri]

[Yeah, Adofo gave Xerai cubs, and Xerai is only Gonai's half-sister, and she's not really related to Adofo.]
Arida: Desta?
Desta: Hello, Arida.

[Adofo]

(dang.)
Desta: Arida, I have something to tell you! Your grandfather helped me give birth to your mother and aunt. But There was something I kept secret. Adofo had two cubs! There was a third cub! A little girl! I never wanted him to know because he had it hard enough with one cub.

[Iri]

Arida: What do you mean? Who is it, Desta?

[Adofo]

Desta: She is a part of the pride. And tell your grandfather that i forgive him telling your mother about me and him. And......I miss him! I never told him but.....I loved him very much! Goodbye Arida! I love you!

[Iri]

Arida: I love you too, Desta... but wait!
Desta: What is it, Arida?
Arida: You said she is a part of the pride, but who is it?
Desta: It... it's Nzinga.
Arida: But Nzinga is Zira's sister!
Desta: No, she isn't. Zira's mother is Kuruka, when I had Nzinga I was forced to leave her behind. Kuruka took Nzinga in, and I owe her so much. After Nzinga grew into an adult, MY sister, Fedha, told her the truth, and brought her to the Pridelands. Then Zira took her away again... and then Nzinga came back. It's easy to say that she was torn between loyalties.
Arida: I understand, Desta. Thank you.
Desta: Farewell, dear one, I will see you again soon.
