[Private] KingKivuli, Zeke and Amanda

[Panda-chan]

Amanda brushed the remaining tears from her eyes with her paws and sniffed. "Thanks Kivuli." she said, as the large grey lion picked her up in his mouth. "The rest of the way isn't far. Just go over that hill and you should be able to see Pride Rock." Kivuli nodded and walked forward. Amanda could tell his leg had healed a little because he wasn't limping so much anymore, but she still knew he had to see Rafiki in case it might have been infected. Would Simba let her stay? She hoped so. She was beginning to think of him as a great friend, even though he was many years older than she was. Maybe once Simba let him stay, she could introduce him to the rest of her friends...
Amanda's eyes were growing heavy, and before she knew it, she was fast asleep.

[KingKivuli]

Kivuli kept moving forward with the sleepy cub gentle carried in his mouth. Even though the distance was not far it still took some time due to his bad leg. Eventually Kivuli got over the hill and was just a few hundred metres from priderock. He collapsed on the floor exhasted. He gently placed Amanda down and nudged her gently 'Amanda. Wake up' THe young cub slowly began to open her eyes. She looked at Kivuli 'We are here. Just a few metres run and your home' He softly said

[Panda-chan]

Amanda blinked up sleepily at the large grey lion standing above her. She'd been in the middle of a dream of chasing butterflies and all at once here she was, lying down awkwardly on some rather tall grass. At the mention of the words "your home," Amanda's ears immediately perked up. She was finally home! She looked behind her, just to be sure, and was rewarded with the sight of Pride Rock, standing magnificently just a few hundred metres from where she and Kivuli were. Her heart swelled in her chest like it was about to burst. "Well why didn't you say so?!" she asked the startled lion, bouncing up and down with excitement. "Come on!" She hadn't run a few feet before she realized with an abrupt halt that Kivuli was probably too injured to run. She walked slowly back, embarrassed. "Sorry," she said, lowering her head. "I forgot you were hurt. That was really thoughtless of me. You can walk as slow as you want. This isn't a race or anything." Kivuli nodded, and Amanda smiled apologetically. Then the two of them walked slowly till they reached Pride Rock.

OCC: Okay, so obviously we'll need some people to be Simba and the other lionesses. Any volunteers? I think Zeke's feeling a little left out...

[KingKivuli]

OOC: hes waitng fo rthe right moment

Kivuli started slowly padding behind, blood started running down his leg. He collapsed and could not go no further 'Amanda you go get help while i stay here. Ill be fine go'

OOC: ill play Simba

[Panda-chan]

Amanda's lip trembled but she obeyed him without a word. She muttered a quick prayer for him then dashed off toward the Rock. Luckily, there were a few lionesses sprawled outside, basking in the sun's heat. They all looked up as the young cub ran breathlessly up to them. "There you are Amanda. Where have you-" one of them started but Amanda quickly cut her off. "I need help! Kivuli's leg is bleeding and he can't walk and he needs your help. Come on, and get Rafiki!" Immediately they all got up, looking around frantically. "Who's Kivuli?" one of them asked, but Amanda ignored her. "Follow me!" she told them instead, running as fast as she could toward where Kivuli lay groaning. When the lionesses caught up with her, they all gasped in unison. Amanda had thought that Kivuli's leg was healing, but it had actually gotten a lot worse. Instead of the small gash he'd recieved from scratching it against the sharp rocks, there was now a gaping wound with dark red blood flowing heavily from it. One of the lionesses cried "Oh my God!" and Amanda, whimpering, had to bury her face in the paw of another to avoid looking at the ghastly sight. But still, the lionesses lost no time, and with two standing together so Kivuli could ride safely on top, and the rest surrounding the three, they all moved slowly toward Pride Rock.

[KingKivuli]

Simba was busy relaxing ontop if Priderock. He liked the the sunshine, and the breeeze up there kept him cool. His peace was disturb however when Amanda started frantically yelling 'Now whats up' he said to himself. The lion took his golden body to the edge and looked down below. He could see Amanda and several lioness heading down Priderock. He then looked into the distance and say Kivuli collapsed on the floor. Simba began to run off down Priderock to see what was happening. By the tiem he got down the lionesses had returned. Kivuli had been layed down on the floor. Amanda was trying to comfort he new friend by snuggling into his muzzle. Simba approched 'Whats going on here?' He asked and then saw the grey body that lay before him 'Who is that? How did he get here?'

Kivuli meanwhile was almost completly out of it. He breathing was deep. The pain in his leg had worsened and the blood did not stop running out. He felt Amanda nuzzle into him. 'Thank you' he said quietly. He then heard another male voice. This voice sounded dominant, It must have been the king. Kivuli did not answer the questions. He was too weak to answer

[Zeke]

Zeke lay quietly under a tree when he heard many voices gathering to his east. He was still tired from the rough journey he had getting through the outlands and did not want to get up, however he had not heard voices for a long time. He slowly got to his feet and stretched, letting out a huge yawn and sinking his claws into the soft earth beneath him. In the distance he could see a group of lions gathering around and unknown object. He stayed in the shadows of a tree and watched at a safe distance.

[Panda-chan]

Amanda sobbed into Kivuli's body, her voice muffled by thick grey fur. The lionesses looked sympathetically at her and at the bleeding lion. When they saw Simba approach they made way for him. "We're not sure, Your Highness." one of them replied, staring at her paws. "Amanda just suddenly came up to us and asked for our help." When Simba said nothing the lioness added, pleading, "Oh please Your Highness, we need to get Rafiki to stop the bleeding! We may not know this lion, but his death might really upset Amanda." She was looking straight up at him now, imploringly.

[KingKivuli]

SImba looked down at Amanda. He saw that somehow this strange lion had an impact on the young cub. 'ZAZU!' SImba yelled. Within seconds the hornbill had arrived and landed infront of Simba 'Yes sire' the blue bird bowed 'I want you to go find rafiki as soon as you can. This lion needs help quick' Zazu looked over ath the bloody body and was shocked 'Yes sire right away!' The hornbill took off all of a sudden heading for Rafiki's tree

Simba walked over to the lionesses and spoke 'Look after the lion, make him comfy. I need to talk to Amanda' He then walked over to Kivuli and Amanda. He leaned dowh and spoke softly 'Amanda?' The young cub turn round tears in her little eyes 'Come with me and tell me everything. The lionesses will watch him. Come on' Simab walked off to the side. Amanda followed. They sat down together 'Dry your tears and tell me what happened, please' Simba waited for the cubs reply

[Panda-chan]

"I-" Amanda started off, her voice cracking. She cleared her throat and tried again. "I was rescued by Kivuli from a hyena that ate my butterfly friend and I found out that he is a traveler and he asked if he could stay here for a while and I said yes so we raced each other but then I almost fell over the crevice but he caught me and hurt his leg so I got an elephant to take us across but she abandoned us on the other side so Kivuli carried me most of the way and I fell asleep but the pain was too much for him and he collapsed on the ground and it's all my fault!" Amanda said in a rush, her eyes watery again. This was the second time today that she'd cried, and now she felt like she was running out of tears. "Your Highness" she asked again, a little timidly, forcing herself to look up at him. "Do you think he's gonna die?"
