him and the battle ended with Zira's supposed death.

Kiara rose to the throne in her adulthood, with Kovu as her Prince-Consort. A while later, Kopa returned with his friend, Iba, who Kiara befriended. Kopa rose to the throne with Baridi as his mate, and Kiara fled the Pridelands with Iba.

And what about Siri, you ask? Well, he returned eventually, but he was not interested in the throne. He decided to become a wanderer, roaming the Pridelands' neighbouring lands.

Thus concludes my tale about your homeland, young one. Oh, you want to know about Tojo's Pride? Well, they are a part of the Pridelands, after all.

Sit tight, young one, and let me begin about the woes, the joys and the legacy of the Valley Pride.

Let's begin, shall we?

Tojo's Pride

A while after the group had reached the valley, Tojo, now a fine young adult, took the 'throne'. He and Kula had a son and daughter, Hasara and Faida. The pride was littered with cubs: the lioness Kamili was born to Chumvi and Tama; a son, Parara, and daughter, Tulia, were born to Arufu and Shari and a daughter, Angalia, and a son, Rindimo, were born to Cheka and Rehema.

The new generation grew to be adolescents when the adult Adui stumbled upon their land. His eyes fell immediately onto Faida, who was smitten with him. When the new generation were adults, they chose mates from within the pride, as there were no rogues around.

Hasara chose Kamili as his mate; Parara took Angalia as his mate and Rindimo took Tulia as his mate. Faida however, took Adui, who had other plans. He was loyal to Raziya, who had stolen him from his father one night and moulded him into an evil beast. He was planning to turn over the entire pride to aid the Outsiders in their current war against the Pridelands. Faida was blind to his intentions, but Hasara was not.

Soon after, Kula was killed by Adui. Faida was distraught and chased Adui from the land herself. But Cheka was happy that his sister was alive, and he began to hear whispers of unseen hatred and menace in his dreams. His tortured past under Taka's reign would haunt him and soon, Cheka began to follow his father's pawprints. He scarred himself and began to lose himself on some days. He was exiled when Tojo realised that he was a threat, but he returned and almost killed Parara when he tried to stop him.

Rehema, who had helped Cheka forget his past to embrace the light, was heartbroken and died trying to stop him in one of his attacks. It was then that Cheka realised what he'd done and begged for them to put him down so that he could be with his mate.

A while after Cheka's death, Angalia gave birth to Parara's son and daughter, Erevu and Ishara. Tulia was barren and could not have cubs, but one a patrol, Rindimo found a dying lioness who begged him to care for her daughter, Hiari. Rindimo took her in as his and Tulia's own.

The pride thrived after, and was surprisingly never troubled by invaders, rogues or other prey animals.

*****

Hiari, Erevu and Ishara are your age, young one. They are out there right now, perhaps sleeping, perhaps being rebellious and taking a walk in the moonlight.

The moon is setting, young one. Would you like to return to your home? Ah, I'm tired as well. I must return to my star realm before the sun rises.

It was nice to talk with you, Anasikia, and may fortune bless your every step.
