Thanks for the review, FlaredHeart. Welcome back to chapter four. Where some pieces of the puzzle come together. Enjoy!

Eleanor followed the two sisters who she and Gier were introduced by the pale cream lioness. Kala was very welcoming as her younger sister came off as rude and hostile. Which immediately made Gier instantly...distaste her, for a lack of better words. As they followed the sisters, Eleanor took in the sights and quickly fell in love with the kingdom. She started to think, about life here, the paradise Pridelands. This kingdom is the perfect place to raise Hera, if she ever find her beloved and only daughter.

"'Elena...psst." Eleanor turned her golden eyes towards the dark tan lioness she was with. Gier's grey eyes looked up ahead before looking back at Eleanor. "Look ahead."

Eleanor followed Gier's instruction and looked ahead to gasped at what she saw. Not far ahead sat a majestic mountain structure. It was tall and bathed in the golden sunlight.

Kala laughed lightly at the expressions before smiling warmly. "That's priderock. Home, throne to the queen and her family as well as home to the pride."

As they got closer the air seem to get hot when they seen a regal looking brownish lioness. Standing around her was six lions and a dark golden lioness stood by her side. Sarafina groaned but the four lionesses continue on before stopping a few feet away the lionesses and lions.

The brownish lioness stepped up, her emarald green eyes locked on the sisters. "Kala. Sarafina. What's the meaning of this?"

Kala bowed her head as her light brown eyes stayed locked on the older lioness. "I apologise your majesty for the inconvenient circumstances. These lionesses are looking for a lost cub that fell in a river."

Eleanor gave a sigh of relief when the queen relaxed. She was incredibly glad that she remembered to explain to at least Kala why she and Gier were trespassing. Eleanor shook her head and focused on the present after seeing a rich brown lion dismiss four of the lions that she realised was standing behind him.

"It's fortunate that my guard's leader found a cub." the brownish queen said with pleasant smile. "Now that I know what you doing in my land. I would like to know who you are."

Eleanor nodded quickly. "Of course your highness. I am Eleanor of Fallholt."

Gier rolled her eyes when the queen fixed her gaze on her. "Gier. My homeland was destroyed."

The lioness queen nodded. "I'm Queen Uru. Until the cub recovers, you're free to stay." then she turned to the rich brown lion. "Scar, show the lionesses to the cub."

The male that was Scar sneered before heading up the rocky slope. Eleanor wasn't too far behind, quickly climbing the stone ramp but being careful to not lose her footing. Once she reached the top Scar was standing at the entrance of a small den that was right on the left after climbing the slope.

"Thank you, kind sir." Eleanor smiled grateful.

Scar growled lowly before decending down the slope. Eleanor watched him go before turning to head in the den.

BTBW

"Sarafina, what in the Great Kings of the past was your problem!?"

Sarafina sat sulking outside their parents' old private den while her sister paced in front of her. Trying to find out why she was acting harshly to their guests.

Kala groaned before stalking off after realising that she wasn't going to get anything from her sister. After Kala left Sarafina let her mind wonder why she was acting harshly. The truth was that she couldn't take if they fell for Mufasa. Bad enough she has to deal with Sarabi being his fiancée. It's miserable to be all rainbows and sunshine with the lioness that took her true love away. A clearing of a throat caused the dark cream lioness to jump.

"Sorry."

Sarafina managed to quickly calmed her heart down before moving her dark green eyes up to stare into the brown eyes of Ocasio. She tilted her head unsure why the bravest of the Pridelands and Lion Guard was there. "Kala isn't here."

Ocasio cleared his throat again as he pawed his red mane chest. The upside to being cousins with the princes as his grandfather was his father and Queen Uru's father, making him the nephew of the queen. Ocasio sighed, he missed his father deeply. With a deep breath he returned his attention to the dark cream lioness in front of him.

"No. I actually came here to see you."

Sarafina's eyes widen in confusion. "Me? But why?"

Ocasio chucked nervously. "I was wondering if you would like to go for a walk under the moonlight or go stare glazing?"

Sarafina's eyes nearly popped out of her sockets. She wasn't sure how she felt about this but knew that deep down if she ever wanted a family then Ocasio was her only chance of achieving that goal. She took a deep breath before batting her eye lashes with a smile that made the lion in front of her want to melt.

"I'll love to."

Ocasio smile and to Sarafina it reminded her of Mufasa's charming smile. "Meet at the water hole around...sunset?"

Sarafina smiled flirty. "Sunset is perfect."

Ocasio turned to leave but not before giving Sarafina a quick lick across the cheek. Sarafina waited until her suitor was gone before heading towards the lionesses' relaxing area that was behind priderock.
