Ajihad remembered that cave. It had seemed like a nice place, and he was pleased that Amara had suggested using it. They hadn't ventured to far from their first pride. Ajihad had found a good place for them to stay, and they quickly established themselves. "Shall the dominants go check it out?" he asked. Someone could have taken residence there without them knowing.

Amara looked at Ajihad. "I think everyone should go" she said. "We should let everyone pick if thats where we wish to stay." She wasnt sure if anyone had been there. *Ajihad and I had been there for months. Our scent must still be there. We havent been gone for more than a week* she though as she saw Aria nod. "Bringing everyone seems fair."

Shani padded into the cave. Its coolness enveloped her and begged her to rest. She lapped a little water from the stream, stretched out in front of the cave to sleep. A few flies buzzed around her mouth looking for leftovers from the mice she had had on her way to the cave. She didn't care, the coolness of the cave along with her sore paws made rest so inviting. She drifted off to sleep.

Storm lifts up onto her paws waiting for the next move on what they are doing. Her tail twitching showing getting slight board of sitting and waiting around when she could be doing something.Hers twitching picking up sound of leaves and grass blowing in the wind around them.

Ajihad roared to his pride, "We're all going to check out the cave where I lived for a while. We want to make sure that it is still fit for us to live." He decided they needed to get the show on the road. He moved to help with the cubs. Chaos went to help since two of them were his. Chaos herded his two and Ajihad walked alongside Tara.

(oops! Let's pretend Siku was totally active in that conversation!)

Siku/ Siku Pride, dominant male

/

Siku looked at his pride and nodded at them to follow Ajihad. He wenat after Ajihad, nudging Yael to go on and briefly smiling at Aria reassuringly.

/

Nyasi/ Chaos Pride, cub

/

Nyasi felt excitement inside him as he followed Ajihad alongside his mother. They will be living in a cave! Who knew that the new life would be this exciting? He was excited, although that small panicked part of him was still wondering: who will be their current leader. He really did not want anybody from Siku Pride leading, especially that brown young male cub that seemed a bit dim.

He shook his head and slinked closer to his mum.

Yael had vaguely comprehended what the dominants had discussed. He would get to lead the pride one day. He stood proudly with his chest puffed out. Out of siblings he was the one who had survived. They had talked about leading the pride. Now, he didn't have to worry about sharing with them. He missed them and would totally be willing to share if they were here

Amara walked with Ajihad, carrying Luna. She looked back and saw Amber and Echo both near Chaos while Tara walked behind the former dominant. Amara looked back at Ajihad. "What are we going to do if someone claimed the cave while we were gone" she asked.

/

Aria watched as Midnight picked up Fae to follow them. She then caught scent of another male. "Why does that scent seem familiar." She couldn't place it. Looking around she saw a male with a bright red mane walking over. "Does anyone recognize him" she asked.

/

Aslan stopped not too far from where the prides were. *Is a fight about to break out* he thought as he watched them. He saw them gathering up the cubs to start moving and was even more confused then.

Ukuta/ Siku Pride, lioness 3

/

Ukuta looked at Aria when she asked if anybody recognised the lion. She looked up and gasped.

"Siku!", she breathed, and took a step forwards towards the familiar lion, but then paused, narrowing her eyes at him. If it really is who she thinks it is..... Although that is impossible. He was thought to be dead.

/

Siku/ Siku Pride, dominant male

/

Siku looked back at Ukuta questioningly, and looked at where the older lioness was looking and broke into a grin.

"Aslan!", he exclaimed, "Is it really you?"

Siku felt the same excitement as he did when Khaleesi joined to his pride again.

She heard Amara and she turned. Khaleesi's face brightened, "Aslan! I can believe it." She hurried over to him with a little too much unconstrained joy. He had been with her for a lot. He was the only surviving lion that had been part of Karaz and Ajihad Pride.

/

Ajihad wasn't sure what they would do. He realized that they were vulnerable with all these cubs. "I think the lionesses should stay back with the cubs. We don't want the cubs to follow us as we check out thecave." He turned and a broad smile spread across his face as he heard shouts of Aslan.
