"The day of our fall just so happened to be our day of celebration, akin to your Kupatana. I was not but a young cub at the time, playing with toys. I witnessed an argument between two hyena brothers then; Kuumiza and Mavuto, which I didn't realize would lead to our fall. Our king was a kind king, but could be fierce if needed to defend the Pride. We worked alongside other predators, most of them small. Soon though the dry season came, everyone was getting agitated. Prey and Predator alike. Soon some rogues or outcasts from another pride showed up, stuck in the past way of Pride Traditions. Mother was worried, celebration day was just around the bend. She worried one of the hyena brothers would convince the young males' leader to attack us."
Mlezi just shrugged after, "Even us cubs and pups had to fight, no use running. Rivaling Hyena clans and Wild Dog packs also attacked from all sides. It was a crazy mess. I do believe that hyena brother did manage to convince the lions, they took advantage of the confusion. Our King; Kgosi, fought valiantly, to protect his family and friends. But the enemies were unrelentingly vicious, going right into the next day and night without pause for rest or food… It lasted until exposure and hunger overtook those that remained. Kgosi had been good friends with Mavuto, so on his passing Mavuto took the crown. He did his best on keeping us younger ones safe, but… Got tricked sometime later by his own brother, I guess not at all that different from Scar and Mufasa, just different players. I ran after, I didn't trust Kuumiza one bit. All I know is I was the last of Kgosi's children, the one survivor. And I guess that makes me the last heir too."
