Exhaustion, pure exhaustion is all these animals felt. They have been traveling for almost two years from their cold, Siberian home to the hot Savannas to Africa, but their journey was almost over.
"Come on, we're almost there." Their alpha male spoke with a hint of excitement in his voice. He became quite confident when he saw the large rock formation in the distance.
"Please can we rest? We've been traveling since morning." Arcani, the son of Alpha male Seneca, whined. The gray young pup was panting heavily. His little legs needed a break.
Their Alpha female, Maiara, froze. She spoke with authority in her voice: "Yes Arcani we shall rest. We'll continue our journey at dusk." She then led her pack to an Acacia tree nearby. They slept under that beautiful tree that night, but first they howled to make their presence known.
"What?" King Simba said stunned while being awakened by his mate, Queen Nala.
"Do you hear that?" She asked Simba who was still a bit groggy. He didn't say a word and listened intently for the noise Nala had woken him up for. He left the den at stood at the edge of Pride Rock, with Nala next to him. Simba could clearly hear howling in the distance. Simba roared to silence the source of the noise. It worked.
"We'll investigate in the morning." Simba said irritated. He went back into the den to continue sleeping. Nala stayed where she was, scanning the Savannah with a worried look on her face.
A/N: Sorry for short chapter. I plan to update this story often and the chapters will be much better and longer. If you like it, that is. Reviews would be nice. Please don't flame. Thank you! :)
