Sarki was walking around quietly. He saw a lioness named Sarabi, sitting, staring at the sky thoughtfully.
- Mother? - Sarki said, going to the lioness.
- Son... - Sarabi murmured, smiling. She looked tired.
- What happened?
- Nothing, I was just... thinking.
Sarabi lay on the floor, still staring at the sky. She lost her life slowly, while a new star appeared on the ground, shining brightly.
- Mother.. you're the brightest star of the whole sky. - Sarki let a tear fall, while his nose pressed against the neck of his mother, now deceased.
This happened a week before Kiara's first hunt.
