Life in the Pridelands

[Kina]

It looks like things are only spiraling further out of control for both prides, and unfortunately so. Az is back with the Forest Pride it seems, and the Pridelanders are still wrapped up in utter fury. Hopefully Kivu's attempts pay off.

Hehe, no problem, Azdgari. Your writing is fantastic.

[YFWE]

Another fantastic chapter right here. Good to see that Kivu has finally mustered up the courage to actually do something worthwhile and courageous. Glad he won't be alone, too. That said, they could definitely be getting themselves into a heap of trouble, so this should be very interesting once they find Az, assuming of course that they do. And at first, I actually thought Az might be dead, but I thought better of it; I don't think you'd kill off your own character just like that, after all. Still, should be interesting to hear more about this Ren character and to see if Kivu and his friends get to Az before the Forest pride gets to them. Unless it's the Forest pride plus Az. Oh bother, this could get pretty crazy. Can't wait to see the continuation!

[Azdgari]

Thanks, Kina and YFWE! Interesting speculation... we'll see how it plays out.

Updated! =]

I absolutely loved this chapter, Azdgari. Kivu has really developed lately, and it's wonderful to see him growing in such a manner. I think it's safe to say that Zira scared them out of their wits, though, XD. *Pats poor Kivu and Tama.* Simba's dream sequence was also interesting, as those can sometimes be hard to pull off without flopping. I look forward to your next chapter, my friend.

Thanks a bunch, Kina. I worked hard on this chapter and I'm glad you enjoyed it. =]

*Smiles.* Your efforts truly paid off, Azdgari.

Out of curiosity, though: What does "Kivu" mean in Swhaili?

[Azdgari]

It means "I didn't even realize Lions had Swahili names until it was way too late to turn back and rename them". xP

[Kina]

Hehe, it's all right, Az. *Pats your back.* Besides, Kivu's name is cute. Makes him sound like a cuddlebug, which he sort of is.

It's kind of a morphing of Kovu and Kiara. And yes, he is a lil' cuddlebug, though he's growing up so fast. *tears up*

[Kina]

I had thought that at first, but I wasn't sure. Hehe, yeah, so I see. *Gives huggle, smiling.*
