''I don't know much about him, but from what i've heard, i agree!'' He mumbled back to seleter as he walked along gloomily.
''This is going to be fun!!'' He whispered sarchasticly to Seleter.

[Fire]

Fire woke up from his deep slumber, muttering under his breath and then bolted awake when he heard a deep rumbling. He growled and got his claws ready for an attack and then he heard the deep rumbling again. He then quickly realized that it was his stomach. He smiled happily, something he hadn't done in months. He stretched out his legs and yawned, feeling a ton better after the water and a rest. He decided for himself that he would get some food, otherwise, his stomach might have a little "talk" with his brain. Fire heard rustling in the bushes nearby and this time, he was truly ready for it. He growled out in fierocity and extended his claws. "Who's there? Come out!"........

[Deleted]

Nala peeped her head out around the bush she was standing behind after she had heard grumbling noises.
" Hello..." Nala said staring at the area infront of her.

Pizeera walked up to pride rock..
"Ok, we're here, what do you want with us now?" Pizeera said to Zira in a slightly annoyed tone of voice.

[Kirsui]

Zira looked at Pizeera. Her eyes flashed.
"I want you to keep quiet and wait here" she said.
"I'll go and see if Scar is ready to take a look at you."
Zira left them and walked to the caves, trying to find Scar.

Seleter didn't like the tone of Zira's voice.
"Whatcha say if we would go and take a look at the Pride rock now that we are here?" she asked Pizeera.
Seleter was still young and loved to adventure new places. She really hoped that Nala would come bak soon.

[Deleted]

Nala stared over the bushes.. she got no response so thought she'd come and check again later.
She ran back up to where she had left the others and saw them still standing there, without Zira.

Pizeera smiled at Seleeter. "Sure.. why not?" He was just about to take a step forward when Nala come running up. " Hey Nala.. how about you be our tour guide?" Pizeera said and laughed a little.

" Tour guide?? i could have a go.." Nala said smiling..

[Kirsui]

"Yea, that would be nice!" Seleter said to Nala and smiled.
"Wouldn't it Sukari?" she asked the little cub in her back.
"Want to come down and walk on your own or would you prefer to stay in my back?"
Then she looked back to Nala.
"So... Lets go then, shall we?"

[Fire]

((Ack! Sorry if I didn't respond fast enough. Comp crashed))

Fire turned his body around quickly to the greeting that he heard. By the time he turned around, the one that had made the greeting had gone off. He shouted out to the unknown figure.

"Wait...Come back!"

He dashed off to the figure that was moving and rustling within the bushes.

[This Land]

Sukari Jumped of seleter's back
"I'll walk" she said smiling
She then stasrted running around Seleter, she felt safe and less stressfull around seleter

[Deleted]

(That's ok fh )

Nala smiled at them all. She then turned around as she thought she heard a noise of some kind.
She shook her head. " So... i'll show you inside the caves first.." Nala said and started to walk inside the caves.

[Fire]

As he was distinctly following the movement within the bushes, he started to lose hearing of the figure that he was pursuing. He slowed down a bit and then stopped completely, due to the fact that he could not hear it anymore. He roars out in anger and then mutters a curse under his breath.

"Why?..."

He decided to continue walking on, even though that he had no sense of direction in his surroundings. As he walked over a hill, he smiled at the beauty of the vast land that lay before him. The sun was shining down on the land and the water, making it sparkle and reveal its true colours. He then observed a big rock that was situated not far from him. He estimated about a little bit of distance of the sun setting. He walked over to the rock and he saw a couple of little lion cubs and a lioness enter the big hole that he guessed was the entrance to it. Curiosity got the better of Fire and he motivated himself to walk to the rock, maybe hoping for a place to stay, as the day was growing old...

[Kirsui]

Zira came out from the caves. She hadn't found Scar.
Maybe he's out with hyenas or something, she thought and streched herself.
Then she saw something moving.
A lion was coming towards the Pride Rock.
"Not again..." she said slightly annoyed.
She prepared to have a little 'chat' with this lion.

Seleter saw Zira coming out from another cave. The lioness had obviously seen something.
Seleter turned to look.
"Um, Nala..." she said and stopped.
She saw a lion coming to Pride Rock. And from Zira's expression she saw the lion wasn't from here.

[Deleted]

Nala heard Seleter and stopped and turned around. She saw another lion and ran over to Zira.
" I'll handle this lion..." Nala said growling slightly then winking at the lion so that zira couldn't see.
" You should get some rest.. you need it after wandering around the lands looking for me.." She smiled at Zira.
"It's the least i can do.."
Nala wanted to meet this lion... he might be able to help her.

[Kirsui]

Zira's eyes flashed, but she didn't stop Nala.
"What ever you say" she replied and left the Pride Rock. She really needed to find Scar, fast...

Seleter sat down and looked what would happen next. She was actually surprised by that Zira wasn't angry for Nala and then left the Rock.
Seleter watched Nala and this new lion and started to play with Sukari using her tail.

[Fire]

As Fire was walking towards the rock, he saw a lioness walking towards him. He stopped in his tracks and extended his claws while his paws were on the ground, ready for any type of conflict that arised. When Fire realized that the lioness had no intentions of harming him, he retracted his claws and then changed his mood to a content, happy aura. He approached the lioness when she got close enough to him.

"Hi. I did not know that this land was, to say the least, "occupied." He smiles at the lioness.

[Deleted]

Nala smiled at this new lion.
" Yeah... our past king died.. and his son was ment to take over... but he passed away aswell..." Nala said, that last bit bringing tears to her eyes.
She wiped them away and smiled as best she could at the lion.
" Now it is ruled by Scar and Zira.." She looked behind her to make sure Zira wasn't listening to their conversations as she would probably be yelled at if Zira heard her being nice to someone new.
" I'm Nala by the way.. and that's Pizeera, Seleter and Sukari." Nala said pointing out who each of them was.
" You are...?"

[Fire]

He was noticing Nala's actions, turning her head behind her body. He was thoughtful, in that he hoped that he, or Nala, wouldn't get into any trouble.

"The name's Fire. I hope I am not trespassing onto anything..." He repiled to Nala's statement.

[Deleted]

" Hi Fire.." Nala said and smiled.
" No, not at all... it's always a pleasure to have someone new around..."
"Hope you don't mind me asking... but where did you come from?"

[Fire]

When Fire hears the question, his eyes go sullen and he turns his head to the west, ears drooping and pointing with his muzzle to where he was from.

"I use to live west from this point..." He sort of spoke in a tone that wanted the subject to move on because he didn't feel like talking about.

[Deleted]

" I know you probably don't want to talk aobut this.."
Nala stopped..
" But... is there any food... out where you came from?"

[Fire]

"I use to live in a place almost like this...It had an abundant source of food...But, ever since my pride exiled and tried to kill me, I lived off the bugs that were in the desert place as I was walking..."

His face turned embarrased and then very depressed. He regained his composure.

"I haven't had a decent meal in days, as you can tell..."

Fire's body looked malnourished and bones were sticking out a bit where his rib cage was.

[Deleted]

Nala looked at his body then back at his face..
" Yes... you can..." She said weakly.
" Later on i'll go out hunting and find you something to eat... if there's anything.."

[Fire]

Fire observes the lush pasture that was around him and couldn't imagine that there was no food here.

"Why wouldn't there be no food here? This land is beautiful..."

He turned his attention to Nala with a confused look on his face.

[Deleted]

" Scar... he feeds it all to the hyenas, himself and Zira... gives us the scraps and leftovers.. some days... we don't get anything." Nala said staring at Fire.
"Well.. how would you like to come meet the others..?" She said smiling.

[Fire]

Fire's eyes lit up as he heard Nala talk about meeting other people since he wanted to take his mind off of his recent abandonment.

"I would love too." His tail flickered a bit and his smile became more brighter.

[This Land]

Suklari stoiof by sleleter
"So what are we doiug now Seleta"
She lay down by the side of her
"My legs hurt........im tired.......im thirsty" she moaned

[Deleted]

Nala lead fire over to the others. She heard Sukari moaning as she got there.
" Seleter.. can you stay here with fire and Pizeera... I'll take Sukari down to get a drink... and then i'll let Sukari have a little rest..." She said and smiled.

[Kirsui]

"Sure" Seleter replied to Nala and then turned to the new lion.
"I'm Seleter, a cheetah as you can see" she said.
"And I ended up here with lions accidentally when I met this adorable little cub", she pointed to Sukari and then smiled to her.

[Fire]

Fire sees Nala walk off with the little cub and then turns his attention to Seleter, a silly smile growing on his face.

"Really? Sheesh..I didn't know thaat." He says this in a playful, sarcastic way and giggles, his tail flickering around and his mood getting happier.

He turns to where Seleter was pointing to and sees Sukari.

"I see..." He says. "The name's Fire...Ya probably don't need to guess what I am..." Fire giggles again and then winks at Seleter.

[Kirsui]

Seleter grinned to Fire and starts laughing.
"Yea, propably not" she replied. She hadn't been laughing for ages, it surely felt good.
Then she sighed and looked around. Luckily Zira hadn't yet come back from her trip of searching Scar.

[Fire]

He notices that Seleter sighed after she responded.

"Is there anything wrong?"
