"Well... alright. A couple days after Simba's birth, there was a plane crash not so far from the gorge. Being queen, I wanted to go check it out. So I asked Sarafina to take care of him, and I went out towards it. If there were others like you, Adofo, they must've left without you. At first I couldn't quite understand what you were, but I knew you were way too young to be alone. So, I took you back to Priderock." Sarabi looked over at both Adofo and Simba with a smile before continuing. "Your father, being a great and kind king he was, he allowed us to take care of you as our own. So, we held another ceremony, but it went completely different. Like I mentioned earlier, we cut our paw pads, and your palm, then we shared this blood with you. Now it was official that Adofo was Simba's brother, but since Adofo developed faster, we knew he was the older of the two."
Riu sat right next to the tree, watching the night sky finally cover all of the daylight. She would always see the sunset as a cub, along with her siblings and friends. It almost confused her of why she was banished, but she'd always remember the reason why. One of her closest friends was going to be king, but suddenly vanished. Every time she would ask the others where he was, they refused to talk about it. She shook her head, not even bothering to think about it any longer, knowing that if she did, it would only make Riu feel like she was being exiled all over again.
