Of course, he couldn’t scream it loud, because he was holding lioness with jaws, all the time. He just prayed to Stars, to anyone, whom might be concerned. He was and outcast, he didn’t know any ancestors to ask for help. Only name he had in mind was those listen from Zira. “Scar... help her!”

(who was holding crying Vitani) ran to bluff and stood, uncertainly.

“And what now?” asked Daki.

“What usually.” Replied Horen. “Troubles.” And he jumped to waterfall’s rock.

Lion was spotted in blood and some cut, inflicted by log was seen on his side. But he pounced with determination to his friend and Zira.

“Grab my paw!” he ordered, and lioness obediently caught his limb. In one strong attempt, Horen pulled her to rock closer the bank. Amini, freed from extra burden, got himself better basis. Rouge leader hugged queen and they both jumped to Outland’s beach. Amini followed them in next moment.

“They’re here!” called Daki to lionesses on other bank.

Zira and blackmaned lion felt on sand helplessly. Exhaustion pinned them down immediately. Only lioness raised her head and barely whispered a question.

“Vitani? Nuka?”

“Wet as you, but on the safe ground.” Replied Laki, pointing Vitani, lying on sand. “Vii is already on our side, she will be here with Nuka any moment.”

Zira nodded with relief and again felt on beach, she closed her eyes.

“What... with... them?” panted Horen.

“Easy, boss...” replied Daki. “Just seasickness...” he and Laki burst in laughter. Rouge shook his head, faking anger, but then he joined to giggling. Meanwhile, Vitani went to Zira and cuddled in mother side.

“Ow... my dear...” whispered lioness to cub. “It was so close.”

After few moments, Vii bring Nuka. Cub pounced on his mother and exclaimed.

“Wow! Mommy! I was so scared!” Zira smiled with clear fatigue on her face.

“And so was I... but we are all together now!”

“Zira...” muttered Horen silently. Lioness turned her stare to him. “Please, forgive me. I lost your cub...”

“Are you crazy?” panted Zira, faking amaze and anger. “You saved her! No one could predict those blasted logs... You are brave, Horen. I’m in your debt.” But then she closed her eyes, due to weariness.

“Zira... we take Nuka and Vitani.” Said Vii. “They must be dried. We’ll handle that.” Lioness nodded, still lying on the ground.

“All right!” Horen almost fully regained his vigour. “Leave them here, let them rest. We will go upstream, to meet others. Then we have to hunt something...” he went to lying Amini. “We leave you there. In case, call us. You’ll be all right?” motionless lion murmured something like confirmation. “So, go!” ordered Horen.

Lions and lioness started on west, leaving Zira and Amini, lying exhausted on beach. Dawn was coming and east side of horizon was enlighten with glare of raising sun. Ziralass="MsoNormal">“But... I can’t! I don’t know how!”

“Just.... do it!” ordered greeneyed one. “Love will find the way.”

Space matters not for Starones, so Scar in next second was next to Zira’s body. He lowered his head to lioness and started to whisper silent spells. Not of magic, just of love.

“My dear... you must wake up!” he begged.

“You must get up!” thought desperately Amini. Of course, he couldn’t scream it loud, because he was holding lioness with jaws, all the time. He just prayed to Stars, to anyone, whom might be concerned. He was and outcast, he didn’t know any ancestors to ask for help. Only name he had in mind was those listen from Zira. “Scar... help her!”

opened her eyes and looked on rouge lion.

“Ow, Stars... you have saved me.”

“You’re welcome.” Replied weary voice of blackmaned one. “At least, I was useful.”

“You was... so brave...” Zira whispered and added louder. “And so stupid! You could die down there. Why did you risk?”

Amini opened his eyes too and replied with gallant smile.

“Just to hear that question from your lips.”

They both burst in laughter. Zira crawled to lying Amini and licked him in forehead. Lion smiled and murmured with joy.

“Probably, I will never return you this favour.” Said queen.

“You already have done it.” Replied black maned.

“Aren’t you hur“And so was I... but we are all together now!”

“Zira...” muttered Horen silently. Lioness turned her stare to him. “Please, forgive me. I lost your cub...”

t? How do you feel?” asked lioness.

“Fine... I’m... just cold.” Muttered Amini. “You know... dawns are most cold time of day... and this bath...”

“I hate water.” Said Zira. “And I’m cold too. Don’t you mind...” she crawled closer and cuddled to lion. “Just to warm up.”

“Yeah... just to warm up.” Replied Amini and hugged queen.

About midday, rest of pride found them still sleeping, side to side, with smile on theirs faces.
