[Princess Uzuri, daughter of King Mbwana and Queen Busara of the Desertlands east of the Pridelands]
Meanwhile, in another part of Africa, Uzuri could sense something was wrong. She had been "patrolling the borders" as her father often did with his majordomo, trying to act more adult and mature, when she noticed a slight tremor under her paws. What was that? she thought, a little frightened. She stopped walking and looked down at her dark and almost furless paws.
They were shaking violently. Maybe that was what she had felt. Sometimes she was so intent on finding something to impress her parents that she ended up scaring herself by hearing noises she had made.
Uzuri walked on, more careful this time, but she couldn't ignore the feeling that something wasn't right. Suddenly it hit her: There were no birds in the sky. In fact, there were no animals anywhere. When she looked at the ground, the only ants she could see were frantic with panic because something had obviously scared them. Uzuri's heart sank as she realized that the tremor she had felt hadn't been in her imagination. There were only two explanations for a tremor like that in Africa: a landslide, or a stampede.......
