The grassland were very quiet. Perhaps a little too quiet. A sense of dread was in the air, soaring on the wings of the wind. Soaring along with this feeling, there were carrion birds circling, ready for whatever it was lying in the heat of the sun to give its last breath and welcome itself to their stomachs. Their caws were the only sound on the savanna. That and the slow, coarse breathing of the animal they were about to dine upon.
Unconscious. Hanging on to life by a thread. A brown, male lion lay there in the grass, a pool of blood congealing around his wounded head, matting in his dark brown mane. One of his pale blue eyes was slightly open, yet no vision was seen through it. He was a mess. Wounds traced his body and blood spotted his usually clean pelt. His chest heaved slowly, a little too slowly for comfort. Every now and then, his skin would twitch in a sort of convulsion, which helped keep the surrounding flies away from his open wounds.
Consciousness would not call his name easily. It would take work to clean his wounds, for his body to heal itself. He wouldn't be able to do it alone, and if nothing was done soon, he would soon pass. As his body lay there, the birds circling overhead, the sun beating down on him, his subconscious, the part of him that never slept, wondered if this was the end.

Amaiza walked along in the savahnna, looking for any trace of food. She then saw a circle of birds above a patch of grass and ran over there, getting rid of any birds that were swooping down towards it. She came to a sudden hault as she saw a male brown lion laying there in the grass, blood dripping from his wounded head. She bent down and licked his face, so he knew someone was there.
" Are you alright??" She said to him. What a dumb question to ask..
"Can you hear me?" Amaiza said and nudged him gently.

Nothing. This male lion was out cold. His breathing continued to heave, showing that he was, at least, still in the realm of the living. Overhead, the carrion birds cawed angrily that something else had gotten to their food supply before they did. Disgruntled, they all flew off in search of better, and deader, prey.

((Understandable. ^^))
Fire was out getting a drink of water from the waterhole that was very refreshing and cold to his lips. The day was very hot and the sun was just above his head. Wow...I think i'm dying out here in this heat...
Fire then saw a flock of birds circling around a certain spot on the land. Usually, when the scavengers swoop around something, it's pretty much dead or barely alive. Even though that Fire was used to his food being fresh, it wouldn't hurt to get a nibble from the prey that was barely alive. He ran to the circle of birds, licking his lips and his mouth watering when he saw Amaiza near the prey. Dang. She's already got it... But, when he took a closer look, he saw that it wasn't just any prey, it was another lion. He called out to Amaiza from the top of a hill. "AMAIZA!"
When he saw that she got his attention, he ran down to where she was as fast she could, a concerened and worried look on his face as he ran to Amaiza. He roared at the remaining brids that were still here. The scavengers obviously got the message because they flew away, cawing in fright. When he met up with Amaiza, he saw the wounded lion on the ground.
"Oh my gosh...Amaiza, what happened?" He nudged the lion with his muzzle, his breathing a little rapid from the running.

A small groan came from the brown male's mouth, barely audible. This was just a result of his unconscious dreaming.
In his dreams, he was quite conscious. He was sitting by a waterhole, taking a long drink. Then, a large shadow engulfed his form. He looked up to see what was behind him, a little nervous all the while. When he gazed upon it, he stumbled. It was a giant mass of blackness, with burning red eyes. No shape or form to the figure at all, just blackness. He turned to run, but fell into the waterhole. He watched as he slowly sank, unable to keep himself above the water. It was if an invisible force was pulling him downwards. He decided to give in, and began swimming in a downwards direction. He then saw a light, small as it was. He felt that he needed to get to it, that it was extremely important that he did. As he got closer, he saw that it was guarded by another lion. One much bigger than himself. The lions dark mane seemed to swim in the water. The purple eyes of the lion looked straight up into his...

He heard a small groan from the barely alive lion that was on the ground. His ears perked up as he heard this.
"Amaiza, he's still alive! I heard him groan..."
He eyes the lion with a worried look as he sees that he has little movement, giving off a little twitch here and there. He figured that the lion's mind must be dreaming of some sort.
"We need to get him to a better place than this." Fire looked up at the sun and saw the brilliant sun beating down on the three of them. "This heat doesn't look like it's going to let up"

He continued swimming towards the light, the eyes of the large lion upon him. Then the lion moved in front of the light, blocking his path. The lion closed his eyes, shaking his head sadly. The brown male was very confused. He needed to get to that light! He was sure of it.
He looked at the lion guarding his way once again, the violet eyes looking as if they could see into the very depths of his soul. Then, the lion spoke. His voice was vary powerful and sounded extremely wise. "To find what you seek, many lands you must travel. Across plains and over mountains, along wastelands and through the very depths of the jungles. Only there will you find the truth."
With that, the lion before him began to drift away, melting into the water around him. But it was no longer water that surrounded his form. It was air, and he was in front of a giant cave. The cave seemed very ominous, and there was blood splatterd across the visible floor and on the walls outside of it. Despite this, he wanted to enter, he wanted to see what was held inside. He took steps closer...

Fire picked up the brown lion from the scruff of his neck with his teeth, careful not to hurt him anymore than he already had been. He carefully put his head under the mysterious lion's head and then slid his body underneath the lion's. He heard a groan from the lion. Subtle...but since the lion's had was near his ear, Fire could hear it. Fire saw a tree that had shade and a little pool of water that the lion could rest nearby. He looked over to Amaiza. "This way..." He started walking over to the spot, careful not to jolt the lion on his back dangerously.
He reached the destination that he wanted to go to and lay down near the pool of water and where there was comfortable shade, slipping the lion off of him and then looked over to Amaiza. "We need to clean him as much as we can"

Closer and closer he walked to the cave. As he drew up to the mouth, there was a tense feeling in the air, looming about him. He suddenly felt very frightened, and just as he was about to leave, he saw the red eyes peer out at him from the shadows of the cave. He then turned around and fled, running as far from the cave as possible. He could sense the black form chasing after him, closing in the gap between them, almost ready to leap...

Amaiza followed fire to the place where he had put down the stranger. And started washing him with the water next to him.
" I wonder how this happened... who would do such a thing...?" She said puzzled.

Fire was likcing off the blood that was washed off by the water that Amaiza put on the wounded lion.
"Whoever did this didn't do a very good job. If they hurt him this badly, they probably wanted him dead..."
He started to nuzzle him to get him awake, hoping that this would work.
"Come on, dude...Wake up..."

The black...thing...closed in on him and soon he could feel himself being pulled into the darkness. He could feel the red eyes very close to him, almost touching him. In his head he heard a maniacal laugh and tried to shake it out, but he couldn't. Then, everything went suddenly white...
The lion woke with a start, jumping to his feet and causing Fire to go to the ground. Despite his injuries, he stood tall and firm, looking around himself, quite shaken. He saw the two lions before him and backed away from them.
"Wh..Who are you?" he asked, a frightened quiver in his voice. Wait a minute...Who am I? His name he could remember, but everything else, everything that he once knew and took for granted, was gone. Completely erased from his memory. "Wh..What happened?" He looked frantically to the other two lions, his blue eyes darting from one to the other. Then, the pain in his head and his aching body hit him and he all but collapsed on the spot. "Ugh...Why do I hurt?" He settled himself down on the ground, closing his eyes. What's happening to me?

When he saw the lion stir a bit from his unconscious state. All of a sudden, the lion jumps up from his lying down position. Fire yelps and jumps back, frightened and unexpected from what just happened. He sees that the lion was very weak and gets up from the ground, trying to talk some sense into the lion to settle down and continue resting from his injuries.
"Hey, hey...We're not here to hurt you...We want to help you..."
He carefully walks towards the scared lion, not wanting him to get the lion in a more dangerous situation than he already is right now. If the lion continued to scare himself and walk around with those wounds on his head, he could go into a even deeper unconcious than he already was. The lion looked a little shaky as he kept his eyes on both Amaiza and Fire. When the fevered lion collapsed onto the ground, Fire gasped and then looked at Amaiza.
"Come on...Quickly..."
Fire rushed to the lion's side, picking him up and then bringing him back to the shade.
"Your not going anywhere for a while...You need rest...badly..."

Amaiza couldn't belive all this was happening.. she just wanted some lunch.
" It's ok, we won't hurt you any more than you already are.. we just want to help you heal."
She said and patted him on the back.
" My name's Amaiza.. and this is Fire, can you tell us your name, and what you remember.." She said to him as Fire moved him back under the shade.

As his breathing went back to a slower pace, his nerves calming a bit, he looked at the two lions. The look of fear was no longer on his scratched up face. He actually smiled.
"Nice to meet you, Amaiza, Fire. My name is Zander." He closed his eyes, racking his brain of anything else that he knew about himself. Nothing. The only thing that he could remember slightly was glimpses of the dream he just encountered, and he didn't see the need in telling them about that.
"That's all I can remember. My name..." A worried looked then played on his face. How could someone forget their past? their life? everything?

Fire looked at Zander with a smile back and then looked over at his wounds again.
"I can probably understand why you can't remember anything..." He licked over a wound, feeling Zander flinch a little. "You took a lot of blows to the head pretty hard, there..."
Fire looks at Amaiza, then Zander. "Whoever did this to you left you to die out on this field..."

( that's fine fh  ) "Yes, very understandable." Amaiza said frowning. " i wanna find who did this to you... and why.." Amaiza mumble to herself. " Well, do you want us to finishing cleaning you up? And try and heal your wounds?" |

Isiro padded towards the small group resting in the shade of the trees.
"Hello. Is there anything I can do to help you guys?"
Isiro was a witness to all this. A few hours before they found Zander he saw a figure leaving the direction of where they found him, although he couldnt make out whether it was a male or female or what it looked like. He came to investigate and saw Amazia and Fire carry him to this spot. He assumed the figure was responsible for Zander's condition.

Zander looked at Amaiza. "I should be able to...clean myself up." His head had begun to spin and he closed his eyes. "On second thought, maybe I do need help."
He then saw the male lion approach. "Hello." He bowed his head in greeting. "I think that I can use all the help that I can get."

Fire saw another lion approach and nodded his head in acknowledgement.
"Hey Isiro. The name's Fire." He smiled after he said this. He continued to lick the slowly trickling blood from the wounds and then an idea popped into his head. What if he saw the lion that did this?... . He looked up from his cleaning and got Isiros's attention.
"Did you see anything that had anything to do with Zander's condition?"

Amaiza started licking of the blood that was still on Zander's head. She then heard a voice behind her, as she turned around she saw a male lion standing next to her.
She pat a paw in the air. " Amaiza." She said then nodded as a signal that he could help as much as he liked, they needed it too..

At Fir'e's question, Zander's ears pricked up. He hadn't even thought of that. Perhaps this lion could tell him what happened, so he would know more about himself than just his name. He looked at the lion and listened intensely.

"All that I saw was Amaiza over Zander... I rushed in to help and carried him to this shady spot... Don't bother asking him, though." He looked to Zander. "Not to be rude or anything, dude, but you can't remember a thing..." He turned his attention towards Isiro and then speaks to him. "I was hoping that you saw anything..."

Zander chuckled at Fire's response. "None taken." Fire was completely right. He couldn't remember anything but his name. Even the face of his own mother slipped from his memory. The only thing that he could remember was the great lion with the dark mane and purple eyes from his dreams. Somehow, he figured there was a reason why he remembered him, he just didn't know it yet.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't get to see enough. I only saw this figure leaving the scene. I couldn't tell what it was. Before I could identify it it had already ran too far away. I didn't bother about it first because I didn't know what happened, but then I saw you guys running towards there." he said pointing to Amaiza and Fire.
"I came over to investigate and saw you two bring him here. Then... well... here I am. By the way, my name is Isiro."
After describing the scene to the group he sat next to Zander and aided in healing him.

As the three helped him to heal his wounds, Zander smiled. He didn't know if he had ever had friends like this or not, but he knew he did now. It was nice to know that there were those who were willing to help.
"Thank you, you three." He got up slowly, some of his strength restored. "It really means a lot to me..." His head was pounding, but it was something that he could stand. He went to the water and leaned down, gulping up the refreshing drink. When he finished, he turned around to them. "Do any of you live here?" He didn't know where he himself lived. He wasn't trying to pry, just start a little conversation that took the enphasisis off of himself. He didn't like for others to preoccupy all their thoughts towards him.

Fire thought for a moment for an answer Zander's question.
"No, Amaiza and I only arrived on this land a couple of days ago. Although, I did meet Amaiza a long time ago and we have been friends since then." A smile came onto Fire's face as he mentioned Amaiza. "She truly is a good friend."

Amaiza smilled as Fire mentioned that she was a good friend.
She nuzzled him in a friendl way then smiled.
" Thankyou fire, the same goes for you.." She then turned to Zander.
" Are you feeling a bit better?" Amaiza asked him concerned.

Zander smiled and nodded. "Yes, I think that I am." He winced a little as his head gave a pulsating throb. "My head still hurts, though." He sat down by the water's edge and gave a big sigh. "I wish I could remember what happened....or anything at all for that matter."
