Imagine these shits to be going down in the Serengeti just after Leo left. His absence leave a power vacuum and the other lions went wild fighting.
Battle Royal style
Wait till the king returns. They quickly realize they be fighting over nothing lol.

"And the funny thing is," he said and gestured for me to come close. He cupped his hands and said to my listening ears.
"She never told me about you," he said.
I was not surprised. Not by a long shot.

It was not easy to find prey.
Let me rephrase that. It had been a few hours, and it was not nearly as easy as I thought it would be to find prey.
Usually, it would take Grim an hour at most before he found prey, but it had been a few hours like I said and he had not found anything yet.
Turns out, the whole battle was heard by animals in the area, causing them to flee further away from the Pridelands.
I could understand that. We were pretty loud and brut...

Holy shit, I don't feel good.
God damn, I feel unfine.
After we retreated to a safe distance from the Pridelands, the whole pride began our rest and recovery.
We slept through one whole day. That was enough for the others to recover enough strength to move again, but not me. I persisted in sleeping for another entire day, meaning I was recovering for two days total until I felt like moving again.
But even then, I st...

The researchers watched as the first battle between hyenas and lions unfolded. It was a scene unlike anything they had ever seen before, and it would surely stick in their memory for the rest of their lives.
Since the battle took place near the gorge, they could hear the sound of the battle. The occasional roar that Leo would release shook their nerves every single time.
They would describe it as camping next to the pits of hell.
It was a total bloodbath. The...

The researchers who followed Leo and his Pride on their journey were all huddled into their makeshift camp at this moment.
Their camp was more settled than usual because the pride had not moved after reaching their destination. Usually, Leo's pride would be on a constant move through the Serengeti, so the researchers only made tents to sleep while never making a solid camp.
But now, they had the chance to do so. The three jeeps that they brought with them had not b...

I was a living horror.
You might think that because my mind was no longer in control, I would lose my efficiency and effectiveness in the battle as a whole. Although that was true to a certain extent, it was not the complete truth.
Because, contrary to all expectations, my new strategy of mindless rampage worked better than if I had killed them efficiently. The sheer scale of my brutality achieved some things that my sound mind would otherwise not have achieved. 2025-09-09 16:02:05 +0000 UTC View Post

Fighting 5 powerful enemies was vastly different from fighting 400 pests. The latter is much more exhausting and satisfying.
I retreated to rest at the centre of the circular formation that the pride had made. I took a moment to catch my breath, panting and wiping away all the blood that covered my body.
The fresh blood of the hyenas was warm, and with their slick texture covering my whole body, it was messing with my body heat. It was making me tired faster tha...

The Prideland was a kingdom only 1/4 the size of the Serengeti. But that much land was still humongous, having its own ecosystem almost completely separate from the outside world.
The hyenas scattered throughout every corner of the kingdom, which was why it took three days to gather every hyena in the land. Hyenas could not roar, so to gather their forces, they had to send out messengers who had to visit every region of the kingdom.
And when every hyena gathered...

It makes little sense why they decided to attack us first.
The only reason they would do such things was if we had starved them enough to a point that they had no choice but to come down and hunt outside. But I made sure to avoid that, deciding to cut off their sustenance for only four days, barely enough to weaken them, whereas I had harassed the Mbali brothers two weeks straight.
I thought they would be playing the defensive and we the offence. Scar was defini...

First and foremost, we were going to win this war one way or another. Let's get that fact right out of the way.
The only problem I had now was at what cost: would I win this war?
It was effortless to win a war, but to do so without losing anything was outright impossible. And I happened to be a king who was not willing to pay the price of victory.
I wanted to win, but I wanted to do so in a manner that would cost no life. If even one lion lost their life in th...

While Leo had his reunion and the rest of his pride was feasting on a giraffe, things did not look as good in the Pridelands.
Everything was in chaos. Even the rise of the sun did not put an end to the dark turmoil growing in the kingdom.
And in the midst of all this chaos stood the king, Scar. Unlike Zuri, who finally got a peaceful rest, Scar had not slept even a wink.
Where their nightmares ended, his began.

My body ached all over, and that was an understatement.
But considering I just brought down a bull giraffe, I would say I got off easy. There might be a few broken ribs in my chest; if not, they are definitely fractured. I had to tank one of his neck swings to get close to him. I didn't get hit with his head, so I didn't endure the full force, but it was still devastating.
But the injury was the last of my concern. My main source of agony came from my muscles, whic...

"Stop struggling," I said while holding down the lioness who was not part of my pride.
She was one of Scar's females.
"Let me go, you big, fat cat," she said while struggling but failing to get out from under my paw.
"Big talk for someone who can't even handle one of my arms," I said and applied more weight. Her mouth opened agape, and she couldn't breathe anymore. It also meant she couldn't speak anymore, so that was good.

After the reunion was over, Sarabi and Zuri were given time to catch their breath.
But they did not have a lot of time to rest because the Prideland was infested with hyenas and right now, they were all searching for them.
They were in an isolated region in the kingdom but sooner or later, they would be caught.
The lionesses did not stay too close to Zuri and Sarabi, both because they were not familiar and because the two tired lionesses needed to be...

Ears turned at the roar that dominated the night sky. The hyenas, although not a lion, knew immediately that the roar did not belong to Scar.
Because Scar's roar never scared them, but this one did.
The roar terrified them down to the oldest instinct. If they were not hundreds, all would've fled the kingdom. The intensity and might of sound could not be faked. Their mind told them to stay, to not fear a single lion when there were many. But their body said exact...

"347 hyenas in total," one vulture said in front of the pride.
Multiple vultures were standing in a line before us, so we looked to the other one after giving a nod to the previous one.
"I count 321 of them," another vulture said.
We nodded and looked at the next.
"401," another said.

The tallest animal in the world.
Giraffes.
A fully grown male giraffe, referred to as the bull, can grow up to 20 feet in height and weigh around 1800 kg to 2000 kg. The bigger bulls can even exceed the 2000 kg mark and grow even taller than 20 feet tall.
Weighing on average twice as much as Cape Buffalo, they are giants on the level of rhinos and hippos.
They roamed the savannah with no natural predators. They stood above every living being, unbothere...

I expected to reach the Pridelands in over two weeks at our fastest speed of travel, but we were able to complete the journey in less than two weeks.
This was mainly because of a few adjustments I made in strategy. After our third day of travel, I noticed that the sun was a great bother in our travel. It sucked our energy to walk under the searing heat even though we walked slow and steady.
So I thought to myself, why not travel during the night? Lions have night v...

(The Pridelands)
It's been two months since Nala ran away from the Pridelands. The situation got so much worse after she left the pride.
Scar was more insecure than ever. He had completely lost his mind and the way he treated the lions was vastly different from before. He felt so betrayed by Nala's running away that it broke him.
Although he had many hyenas under him, he used to put the pride above everything else. But now, the way he treats them was the same...

After I was done with Nala, it was already early morning. The sun was above the horizon and the pleasant warmth of sunrise was quickly turning into unbearable heat.
But instead of waking up, Nala panted heavily. Her laboured breath died down slowly until, eventually, she fell asleep. That put my plan of setting out early in the morning on hold. But it was my own fault as well, so I didn't blame her.
So I delayed our travel for a few hours. In the meantime, I dec...

The challengers were starting to learn.
I set out under the guidance of Grim, thinking that I would have to kill two or three challengers again but I found none.
Grim was not wrong. They definitely overstepped into my territory and I found clutes. But it seemed they ran away from the moment they caught a whiff of my scent.
That's why I said they were learning. They were not just mindlessly feeding themselves on my jaw. Maybe words got around and...

"I don't know how to feel about this..." Nala said while coming to the freshly killed buffalo.
The scent of fresh blood that was slowly pooling around the carcass was mouthwatering to any predator. I could feel her hunger even though she tried her best to hide it.
"Should I be concerned?" she asked while nudging at the carcass, which was easily five times her mass.

It was my first dry season as a king.
And I knew beforehand that this was going to be the moment where I showed how better I was compared to the previous kings. After all, my pride was not going to starve during the dry season.
Instead, we would thrive by preying on the bigger animals like the buffalo. The gigantic herd had already splintered into smaller groups, which made hunting them much easier than before. 2025-08-18 20:03:37 +0000 UTC View Post
