Leo's Journal Part V - Mlinzi
9:48 P.M.
I can't sleep so I've decided to go for a walk. It's been a really hard day, with me having to walk to the eastlands and everything... It looks beautiful out tonight with the cool evening air, even the stars seem brighter. Jeez, I didn't realize how tired I am, I got to lay down, but I can't lay down out here, what if I fall asleep? I feel as though all my energy has been sapped from me... I can't fall asleep out here. I just can't-
(realtime)
Leo couldn't find the strength to go on as the fatigue of the day caught up with him. He fell to his knees and, looking up at the night sky, fainted. Finally overwhelmed by exhaustion.
Three hours later at Priderock a lioness could be seen crying.
"Taka," said the lioness tears gathering in her eyes. "What am I going to do without you? How can I tell our daughter the truth about... about you, now that you're... you're... gone..."said the lioness mournfully and, finally breaking down, started to cry heavily.
Just then the wind picked up, blowing in the direction of the grasslands
The lioness lifted her head looking out upon the Pridelands, remembering a time when she and Taka would used to gaze out into the night sky for hours on end... then noticed something white laying in the grasses some distance off from Priderock.
"Huh? What's that?"
She pondered for a moment, then began to descend from Priderock, curiosity getting the better of her.
Back in the grassland a white lion could be seen passed out on the ground As the lioness approached he began to stir.
Slowly his eyes began to open, as he looked around thoughts began to race around his mind.
"Where am I...?"
"Who am I...?"
"How did I get here?"
Nearby the lioness watched as the white lion rose shakily to his feet. looking as though he had just dropped out of the sky.
"What is this lion doing here," thought the lioness.
"He must be an outsider!" and deciding upon that she attacked.
The lion had barely gotten up before he suddenly found himself being leaped upon by an angry lioness. Something instinctively told him to rise to his hindlegs, but as he did so he found himself hit squarely in the chest by the lioness' front paws. After falling back and rolling over a few times he was neatly pinned by the lioness.
"What are you doing here outsider," the lioness demanded of him.
"Wha- what do you mean," he replied startled.
"What are you doing here," repeated the lioness quickly becoming frustrated.
"You can start by giving me your name," she snarled at him.
"My name? I- I- I don't know!" said the white lion full of fear.
What do you mean you don't know! How can you forget your own name?" roared the lioness then looking deep into his eyes expecting to see the cold and dark stare of a lier, but only noticed fear and innocence, the eyes of one telling the truth.
As this dawned on on her, she drew back, shocked at her her own actions.
"I'm- I'm sorry" said the lioness sincerely. "I thought you were an outsider..."
"It- It's ok" said the white lion regaining his breath. "I- I didn't know I was intruding"
"It's all right, but, who are you," said the lioness, now curious of this new white lion.
"My name is..." the lion paused. He truly couldn't remember, but, as he was about to say again that he didn't know, one name became clear to him...
"My name is Mlinzi"
"Well then hello Mlinzi and welcome to the Pridelands," said the lioness .
"Thank you, but what is your name?" inquired Mlinzi, equally curious of this lioness.
"My name is Sarafina"
