Lion guards were shoving them both by their backs with wooden handcuffs. As they walked, angst was beginning to build up in their heads. "What do you think is going to happen to us?" asked Larro, giving a small, annoyed look at the guard behind him. "Hey, shut the hell up, you dirt bag," said a lion guard. "You're not to speak unless spoken to. I hope you understand how much trouble you kids are in."

"I understand, sir." replied Logan. Echoes of footsteps could be heard as they were entering the main hall of the lion temple. A tall, familiar and imposing figure could be seen standing right in front of the throne. It was the king, Sir Luster. "Logan and Larro, I'm very disappointed in you both, you see," he said, walking down the few steps. "You two do know the severity of the theft you just committed, right?"

Logan was pissed off with the guard behind him. He pushed the guy back aggressively just after he'd loosened his handcuffs. He was met back with a loud, angry roar. "Who the hell do you think you are, you -"

"Soldier, please," intervened Sir Luster. "Let me handle this."

The guard scoffed back in annoyance. "Fine." he muttered, receiving a small chuckle from Larro. Another guard kicked Logan in his shin. "Learn your place, you thief." Sir Luster took in a deep breath and exhaled. "You guys are just teenagers; that I understand, but what you did was too severe," he said. "I think you both know where this is headed …"

Larro began to pull on his handcuffs incredibly hard. "You can't exile us! That's just too cruel!"

Guards were beginning to laugh cruelly in amusement. Sir Luster sighed, putting his palm to his face as he continued. "I don't know how your parents are going to take this, you two, but as far as I'm concerned, under the rules and traditions of this tribe, you're both exiled."

The cruel laughter from the guards before had become hysterical. "There's no possible way you can do that to us," said Logan, tightening his fists. "We're just teens, and where will we go?"

Sir Luster's voice became filled with regret and hesitation. "I don't like it as much as you do, guys, but it's just the rules," he said. "Without the rules, what are we?"

"Without the rules, we'd be better off than we ever were!" shouted Larro, trying desperately to break free of his handcuffs. A guard rushed to him and grabbed his head, then kneed him in his nose. "I bet you liked that, didn't you, Larro?"

"Soldier, that's enough. Don't hurt him." called Sir Luster.

"Yes, sorry, Sir"

Logan began breathing heavily. "What about our parents? What the hell are they going to do?" he asked, and began stomping on the ground in rage. "Just be patient, Logan. As I said before, I hate doing this, but it's just the rules. And without the rules, we're nothing…"
