Another "cub" joins the pride!

[Adofo]

Adofo: I know! A cute baby!
He kissed his daughter on the cheek
Adofo: Daddy loves you!!

[Iri]

Ekanem babbled and giggled, reaching for her parents with her chubby arms.

[Adofo]

Adofo: Awww!

(Do we timeskip to when she's a kid?)

Seven years later, Ekanem was sprinting through the Pridelands with her hyrax friend, Abana.

[Adofo]

(Whats a hyrax?)

Her older brother has been looking for her and he finally spots her in the distance
Sam: EKANEM!!! Mom and Dad want to talk to you!

[Iri]

[It's related to an elephant, but it's about the size of a housecat and sort of looks like a rodent.]

Ekanem turned around. "Bye, Abana," she said glumly.
"Bye," Abana replied.
Ekanem started sprinting towards the general direction of her parents. "Yeah?"

[Adofo]

Adofo: Ekanem...me and your mother have talked it over an we have decided it is time to teach you to fight.

[Iri]

"I'm seven," Ekanem said pointedly.

[Adofo]

Adofo: Yes, but not everything in the pridelands is friendly. You need to learn to fight to be able to protect yourself. Me and Uncle Simba are going to train you.

[Iri]

"What about Mama?" Ekanem asked.
