Calm down. Nala told herself.
Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. Calm down.
Don't get too excited. Don't expect too much. After all, there were several lions out there who could share the same name as the lion cub she remembered.
"Are you okay?" Oba asked with razor focus in his eyes. He realized the name held weight for her and he wanted to know how and why.
"Fine, I am fine. Are you?" she asked dumbly but quickly shook her head.

Nala and her four new lion companions continued their journey towards the Serengeti.
It was around noon when they settled things between them and began their walk. But since they were already so close to the Serengeti, they were able to cross the border before nightfall.
There was no real conversation throughout the journey. This was mostly because Nala was not very cooperative when the three brothers tried to start one. The sole older lion on the other hand was...

'Did we go too far?' I thought to myself as I watched the murky river take a crimson hue.
The stench of blood overpowered the smell of mud. Crocodile tails and a lifeless body sprawled on the shore. There were organs and intestines that floated like bubbles on top of the lake.
It was a blood scene.
My pride stood together in the shallow water. Our rapid breaths intertwined as we recovered after unleashing all our anger upon the gia...

Rage.
It's been a while since I felt genuine rage. The kind of anger that makes you want to tear everything in your sight. The kind that makes you hate even yourself.
I could've done more. I could've done better as their king.
Goddamn it!!
Long story short, the cubs went to the watering hole. There were nine of them, six of which were under one year old, and three of them were early juveniles.
They were not helpless cubs anymore, but they were sti...

(Nala's Journey)
And off she goes.
Away from her home, away from everything she had ever known. Although she left for a good reason, there was a bittersweet feeling in her heart. It was not easy to run from your whole life.
No longer the daughter of Sarafina, no longer the subject of Scar.
She was Nala, a lone lioness on the run. And that was the only silver lining.
The Pridelands were an elevated region, almost like a huge plateau that sust...

'This is fun,'
I thought to myself while I ate the food near the campfire.
It was a mix of everything, clearly showing the diversity among the researchers. There was a burrito made from existing ingredients, a can of soup heated on the can itself, a can of some kind of meat - probably beef because it smelled like buffalo, a bunch of bread with jams and butter, jerky of all kinds, old boiled eggs, roasted vegetables and a few more which I could not identify.

Okay, with the human element introduced into the story, this has always been at the back of everyone's mind.
Some people hated the researchers because of it. Saying things like "Well, Leo is not very special anymore because he can die from a gun, he is not the strongest in the verse etc"
So, should I add poaching elements to the story? But I must warn you that if we are going to add this, I must add human killing.
Yes, Leo will kill the paochers. If yo...

Initially, the act of defying Scar outright when he tried to mate with her seemed like a great decision on her part.
It was a chance to finally get her claws on him with the excuse of resisting his advance towards her. She had done what she wanted to do for the longest time, and that was to hit Scar where it hurts.
But now, a week later, that decision seemed like the worst thing she had ever done.
Nala could understand at last, why all these females were so s...

FYI, whatever you choose, I will try to write it to the best of my abilities. If you like the Slice of Life especially, it will be easier for me to write them.
For example, the cubs were very curious towards the human and Leo had to check them out if they were in any danger and in the process, he kinda of liked messing with them.
Lion Pride slice of life is hard as hell.
But in the end, I can write however.

The wind had teeth that morning.
It slipped through the open flaps of the research tent like a stray jackal, biting at ankles and tugging at the thin fabric walls. The Serenegti was entering its long dry season again, and during this time, temperatures soared and plummeted during both day and night.
It's why the savannah did not have winter or summer. It was the peak of summer during the day and a chilling winter at night.
It was righ...

"NO!!"
Nala quickly rolled away from Scar.
On the other hand, the king was screaming and for a good reason because he was in excruciating pain. His front legs tensed and flexed while his hind legs crossed and went weak.
Her claws had not cut off his member, but it was extremely sensitive, so even a small cut felt like death. After his scream ended, he roared in rage and lunged towards her.
But his lunge was slow, his hind legs were crippled and not like...

The sky was the colour of old bone, and the wind carried dust now.
It was not too much, just a hint, but there was a whisper of dryness that clung to Nala’s fur as she padded across the savanna. She looked around at her home, vastly different from what she remebered before.
It was like she was walking into a new place, a new region, even though she never left.
The grass was still green, but thinner, sparser, and brittle at the edges. The...

I continued my usual hunting schedule, which was at least one prey every three days. But that didn't mean the rest of the pride was staying idle. Quite the opposite, actually, as I made them follow my schedule of hunting.
I made sure every lionessess in the pride participated in the hunt. The rotation of hunting groups made sense in terms of efficiency but that was not what I wanted.

It was the consequences of their action.

The documentary entered one of those stages again where there was no music, narration or edited parts.
It was just raw footage with few, if any, cleanup cuts here and there. It showed the naked reality of nature without censoring or enhancing anything.
It was the complete truth and the exact replay of what actually took place.
And that it was so much more impactful than it had any right to be.

Scar was old and suffered from the scars of his battle with Leo. He was greatly weakened even though he had put on mass.
At his current state, he could barely take on three lionessess by himself and this lack of physical strength was felt by the whole pride. Scar had difficulty asserting his dominance among his own subjects.
And so he turned to the hyenas to mend the insecurity and cement his authority and power. From an outsider's perspectiv...
