As Kimya sat there bye the lonesome river, sulking and sobbing, the wind seemed to creep by her, like a bone-chilling spirit. Before she could think, a roar swept through the Outlands, causing her to shudder. Kimyla looked over to the Pridelands, bast the great river, there was Pride Rock.. It's so beautiful... if only I could see beyond the river.. just once! Only one time in my life.. I would be the most greatful cub in all the lands.. Kimya thought to herself. She let out a small roar, although it sounded more like a whimper or mew of a small kitten. "Grrr! I'm so pathetic!" She yowled with a snarl, smashing the dusty ground with her tiny paw. "If only they could see what I know.. what I feel.. Just because I'm a cub doesn't mean I'm worthless.. Those oblivious jerks! Kimya yelled to herself, looking to the prairies of the Pridelands, hoping she didn't have to be alone..

Jaali wandered his way out of the Outlands, grumbling under his breath. About his aunt Kamau, about Werevu, about everything. He was paying absolutely no attention to where he was going, as well. "And stupid Kamau thinks that just because she has a crush on this Werevu guy that she can leave me to rot and not support my ideas anymore. What about me? I deserve to be a king! Someday, I'm gonna get big and strong and I'll take down Teferi, Kovu and Werevu, and after I do that, I'll have the Pridelands and the Outlands, and a pretty lioness at my side, and cubs...."
It was at this moment that he literally ran head-on into the other cub, possibly knocking her over. And it was a girl. Jaali saw the tears in her eyes and refrained from blaming her for his ignorance in running into her.
"... Hey. Sorry for running into you..."[/b][/font]

Kimya's black ears twitched, a another lion had come over and had just ran into her. She sniffled a bit, and blinked. Another lion? She thought to herself.
"Oh.. Uhm, hi. It's ok, no need to apoligize, I'm.. just fine. My name's Kimya, you've probably heard of me as the disgraceful little idiot, but go ahead, call me whatever you want." Kimya reassured to the older lion. He was taller than her, of course. Everyone was, it seemed. "Uh- Uhm, sorry to disturb you, I'll leave if that is.. Uhm, what you wish." She said, swishing her tail in both fear and anticipation. A lion had never been so nice to her before..

Jaali was only about a year old, although he was a mass of muscle rather than a furball. He could sympathize with the other cub. He felt bad for her, so he lowered his voice and spoke softly. "Kimya, sounds familiar. Nice to meet you. No, I've never heard anyone call you that before..."[/b] The large cub's anger escaped him. His orange eyes softened and he sat down beside Kimya and the Great River, his oversized black paw gently patting her little one. "What's wrong?"[/b][/font]

Hmm.. he's really nice..
"Oh, really? Well.." Kimya paused.
"You see, Kamaru and Werevu are so selfish, they never think of us! I try to bring peace to the Pridelands and Outlands, and this is how they treat me.. they think I'm a freak! But they are looking at the glass half empty.." She paused once more, looking up at the cub. "What do you think of me? And what do you think of them?" Kimya asked with a sniffel, looking down at the cub's paw, which was now on her own paw. A small breeze moved through the Pridelands, reaching over to the Outlands from the great river still, yet faintly.

Jaali looked intently at the other cub as she spoke. His reply was soft and calm as ever. "We can't always have peace. The Pridelands are full of those who have betrayed us and shunned us as a whole for crimes we didn't commit. Kira is a traitor, Vitani is a traitor, that white lioness, she is as well. And even their own king Kovu betrayed us in the past. But not to worry." He sat up straight, puffing out his chest a little bit, and he smiled proudly, finally removing his paw from her's. "I'm going to be king of all the lands someday, and we'll all be at peace then."
Jaali continued to listen to the female cub, his claws extending to make circles in the moist soil beside the river.
"What do you think of me? And what do you think of them?" At this, Jaali lowered his head and continued to gaze up at Kimya. "I can't judge you, I've only just met you. And Kamau, she's my aunt. I love her. But Werevu..." His nose wrinkled and his eyes became small orange slits. "Werevu is only in my way of becoming king. Nobody gets in my way."

Kimya listened to the taller cub in understanding silence as she always did.
"Werevu is only in my way of becoming king. Nobody gets in my way." She listened as the words from the other cub echoed through the Outlands. "Oh, really?" Kimya asked with a snicker, crouched up and ready to pounce. "But don't you see what we have done to them, as well in the past?" She muttered, leaping at the cub playfully with all the strength she had. "Nobody gets in your way, huh? We'll see about that." Kimya teased. With the intimidating glow in her eyes, she snarled.
On the other side of the river, the Pridelands became heated with the sun's warm energy and glow.. Not too much heat, and yet, not too cold.

Jaali watched as Kimya crouched down low, and went up on his haunches to take her tackle and push her back, claws hidden deep within his paws as he wrestled her down to the ground. A playful growl escaped his maw and he pinned her, sticking out his tongue. "That's right! Nobody gets in my way! Not even the great Kimya!"
Jaali paused. The whole world paused as he looked down at the female cub. What a pretty little shadow. A smile spread across his maw slowly, as if two cherubs were pulling at the corners of his mouth. He puffed up his scruffy chest again, proud of defeating his acquaintance. How is a little tiny cub gonna take down one that's a ball of muscle? He raised a ridiculously oversized black paw and softly batted at the side of her face with it, jokingly. "... Rawr."

Kimya titled her head in curiousity as he scrunched up, but before she could blink, he pounced with what seemed like the strength of a full-grown lion.
"That's right! Nobody gets in my way! Not even the great Kimya!" Kimya listened as the words came from the cub's mouth, and let out a small giggle. The laugh, however disappeared as she looked up to see a smile on his face, followed by a teasing slap of his paw. "... Rawr."
Hah, that mound of fur thinks he's so tough? Well watch this! Kimya thought to herself as a wide smile spread across her face. In the blink of an eye, she flipped her small body over, swatting her paw at the other cub's face. A playful hiss escaped from her mouth, as she tried to be intimidating. "Who's the tough kitty now, huh?" Kimya boomed in a happy tone. Her tail swished back and forth playfully.
Meanwhile, the crocodiles of the lake swam around, a deadly glare in their eyes locked on the two cubs.. Danger spread throughout the river's aura, seeming to travel in the wind, warning the valleys with a dreadful, bone-chilling gust.

Jaali was grinning like an idiot, but only for a moment. When she flipped over, he acted like a ragdoll so she could flip him too and feel all high and mighty.
"Who's the tough kitty now, huh?"[/b][/color] He laughed and flattened the backs of his paws to the ground by his head as if to surrender.
"Alright, alright, you got me."
Suddenly, a shadow came over the dark cub. Jaali's eyes got wide as the green rough skin of the crocodile shone wet in the sun and eyes, bloodshot, stabbed like needles.
"Kimya, watch out!" He wrapped his paws around her and rolled away from the bank, getting Kimya to her feet before he got himself up. His claws unsheathed and he swatted a huge black paw at the crocodile's face before nudging Kimya with his head as a signal to run. Jaali's legs began to carry him fast away from the danger. The crocodile only faltered for a moment before continuing to prey on the cubs.

Kimya smiled happily as the taller cub seemed to surrender.
"Kimya, watch out!" Kimya heard the cub speak, she gasped and looked over to a deadly frightening shadow arising from the river. Although before she could see any longer, Kimya found that she was grabbed by the other cub, and told to run away, far away from the Crocodile..
"No! The Pridelands is our only choice.. The Crocs can't intrude there!" Kimya boomed with a frightened tone, she seemed petrified.. Alas, over a sturdy log she padded, as fast as she could, crossing over the river to the Pridelands..

Jaali's slanted orange eyes opened wide for once as he turned, never keeping his back to the crocodile. He rose on his haunches, and the other enormous paw was thrust up toward his face, razorlike claws slashing one side of the great scaled beast's face. The burly cub swiftly brought his front paws down and dodged back, getting low to the ground and rolling out of the reach of the crocodile {for the moment}.
He edged away fast, and once he felt safe enough, he stood and took off after Kimya as fast as he could. Not before the crocodile snapped at the end of his flying tail, pulling off a chunk of the fur at the very tip of his tassel.
Jaali caught up to Kimya, glancing quickly over his shoulder at the crocodile. He flipped his tail toward his face to examine the damage. He decided concisely that the tip of his tail now looked badass, and he smiled. "We got away! Look what he did to my tail! I scratched his face up so bad, you shoulda seen it!"
