We will go the distance. {Private Zazu and Accalia}

[Accalia]

*Home? New home? Huh* Sa'nathu thought about how it would feel to live in a new place. "Zerza..... Will I be with you?" He asked sticking close to her. He bowed his head slightly scared admiring her confidence.

[zazu101]

"Yeh you will live with us unless you and sherma like each other if you want and she's blue like you but the pride is always together even at night so I won't be far away or you can live with me! " Ezra said with enjoyment shining in her blue eyes, her dad turned round and said " hurry up you two we're almost home and I need to go out and help the hunters to bring in lunch" just then the earth began to shake " Zerza " her dad ex claimed Zerza jumped in to the bush her dad crouching the other side of the path but sa'nathu didn't know what to do and zerzas dad realised that and just when the wilder beasts were in sight he lunged his muscular body forward grabbing sa'nathus neck by the scruff and flying of the path with him just as the stampede trampled the grass into the ground.

[Accalia]

"A blue lioness..... Like me?!" He imagined the sight of someone similar to him, but then he heard the stampede and stood there frozen. He felt the soft grip of Zerzas dads jaws around his scruff propelled him forward. He was out of breath and panting as the wilderbeast passed the bush. He saw Zerza crouching across the path and crouched himself. "Thank you sir..." He panted.

[zazu101]

after the wilder beast had passed zerza lightly bounced over and asked" are you okay?"

[Accalia]

He saw Zerza lightly coming over and smiled widely his eyes wider. "WHOA! That was soooo FUN!" Sa'nathu exclaimed inthusisasticly. "I am better then OK I am buzzing! I feel I could run 1000 miles!"

[zazu101]

"Your so funny!"she giggled "look there's home " she shouted as she started to run towards the lagoon to try and find her mother.

[Accalia]

He laughed and ran after her, but instead of following her he went inside the cave and was amazed. The noise of trickling water was comforting and the cool stone beneath his soft padded paws was relaxing and reminded him of the pool bed where the stones were smooth and cool. The holes in the ceilings were large but in their own, beautiful.

[zazu101]

"Sa'nathu!" Called Zerza as she ran in with a beautiful lioness "hi this is my mum"

[Accalia]

Sa'nathu heard his name and turned around, seeing the lioness behind Zerza. "Ummm hello!" He said with a slight mew, then blushed.

[zazu101]

Zerzas mother answered " hello dear I herd you are now part of the pride and our family" she said with a huge smile which Zerza obviously got from her.

[Accalia]

Sa'nathu smiled, not seeing many differences between her and Zerza. "Yes.. That is if you accept me..." He looked, he didn't think it was official yet. His emerald eyes sparkled at the idea of this being his new family.

[zazu101]

"I'm sure the whole pride will accept you but now it's getting late and you and Zerza have had a very tiring day so come on let's get to sleep " zerzas mother went to the corner and zerza followed curling up with her mother signalling sa'nathu to come over

[Accalia]

Sa'nathu went over to where they were curled up, but out of his eye spotted a flash of blue, but didn't pay it much attension. He curled up just away from Zerza and her mother closing his eyes.

[zazu101]

In the night it was cold so zerza crept over to sleep in her fathers huge mane and zerzas mother rolled over and curled her body around sa'nathu and fell back asleep

[Accalia]

Sa'nathu felt the warm body of Zerzas mother encapsulate him, at first it was awkward but then he liked the feeling of her warmth around him and tucked himself into a comfortable possistion, falling asleep.

[zazu101]

Zerza gently tugged on sa'nathus ear trying to wake him and when he stirred she whispered"Lets to to the lagoon and play!"

[Accalia]

He felt a light tugging on his ear and slowly stirred, he head her remark and whispered "Yes! Race you! 3,2,1 GO!" He quickly sped off towards his previous home, hoping Zerza would follow him. He screamed with delight and his hair created waves as it was moved by the wind.

[zazu101]

Zerza was giggling as she was following him running along the path but suddenly a lion pinned them both down showing his razor sharp teeth and zerza let out a piercing scream "Daddy!" The intruder smirked "what's your daddy going to do"

[Accalia]

Sa'nathu felt the claws of a lion around him and was brought under his control. He wiggled under his control, moving his head away from this strange lions toothy grin, he growled, twisting out of the lions grip. He stood his face hard, water starting to swirl around his paws. "I am NOT scared of you...." He said as genuinely as possible

[zazu101]

But just then a large terrifying roar shook the ground the intruder looked up and said " so this is daddy" his confidence had subsided at the size of zerzas dad who was advancing on him and took a swipe and cut the intruders face who fell to the ground but was straight back up again. Zerzas dad shouted " if you dare harm or even touch our cubs again I won't be so merciful! " the stranger admitted defeat and backed off.

[Accalia]

The water calmed and so did Sa'nathus face he smiled at the strangers retreat. He laughed, looking at Zerzas father "Thank you! ... Again " he helped Zerza up and hit her with his side lightly, giggling. "Did you see his face?!" He said excited. The sky was still dark as the continued to head towards the pool, wether Zerza was following or not. The past experience had not scarred him at all.

[zazu101]

Zerza followed him and every thing was fine that day and they almost forgot the incident in the morning, almost!

When the cubs were walking back from the stream, sherma the blue lioness was heading for them "hi sherma! This is sa'nathu!' Shouted zerza 

[Accalia]

Sa'nathu followed Zerza from the stream and when he saw the blue lioness walking towards him he felt like he should be nervous, but he felt courageous and didn't hide from her at all. "Hello sherma." He said politely, but in his high little cub voice.

As they neared her Sa'nathu looked up and saw how similar they were.

[zazu101]

"You look just like a cub I used to have " she exclaimed " but then the lion took my cub away from me and gave it to his special lioness but that was when he was white and hadn't got his blue colouring I was never allowed to see him" she said crest fallen " I still remember his name Si'natha

[Accalia]

Sa'nathus eyes rolled back and he suddenly remembered his previous life, before he was alone and cold, before the evil lioness and battering. "Si'natha........" He said slowly, remembering that name being attached to him. A tear came to his eyes and trickled down his cheek. *mummy....* he thought slowly. "Mummy....?" He said out loud this time. His frame was limp and he felt like cuddling her. His eyes stung from the salty tears and his legs wobbled.

[zazu101]

Sherma felt a connection with him and gently padded over to her long lost cub and rubbed her head agains him then picked him up bye his neck and walked of to the lagoon to spend some time with her son.

[Accalia]

Sa'nathu cried happy tears, and rubbed his head back against his mothers own blue head. He let her carry him away and when they arrived beside the lagoon he wiggled from her hold and hugged her leg tightly "Mummy!" He had so many questions for her, bu he couldn't get over the fact she had found her.

[zazu101]

Zerza ran over to her mum and shouted " sherma is sa'nathus mum isn't that great" then ran out trying to find them

[Accalia]

"Mummy.... Are you like me? Do you have,... Powers?" He asked slowly. Hearing Zerza he called out "we are in here Zerza!"

[zazu101]

"Hiya " Zerza yelled as she trotted over." How are you both?"
