Pride Waters
Summers for the Khomodimo pride have always been known to be hot and dry. Like for most lions, the dry season is a struggle, but ultimately they've learned to adapt. They're also lucky enough to have one of the only watering holes in the area that takes the longest to dry up. Knowing how fortunate they are to never have to worry about their water source disappearing, the Khomodimo pride has never kept other species' from drinking, even other lions were welcome to cross into their territory to drink, albeit only to drink.
This year, though, was different. From the get go things were hotter and dryer than before, the lack of moisture in the air and the way the dry grasses seemed almost burnt by the sun primised them that this summer would be one for the books. Trusting their instincts, the Khomodimo pride moved closer to their watering hole, the Qwee Pan, knowing that they and the prey they hunted would rely on it.
Still, they kept their amicable attitudes about their water source, allowing other animals to come to it to quench their thirst. It went against their nature, but they knew water was a necessity for all animals, and they would not be the cause for unnecessary deaths.
However, this year it seems another group is intent on taking advantage of this kindness. A group of hyenas have moved into a small territory next door, purposely keeping their dens away from the borders so that the resident lions of the territory next door weren't aware of their presence at first. These hyenas began to venture into the territory, only for the watering hole at first. Then they began to test boundaries, showing up to scavenge kills, and even ending hunts on the territory.
For a while the lions were tolerant, trying to understand that this was a difficult time for everyone. However, as altercations between the Khomodimo Pride and the neighboring Hyena clan became more frequent, they begin to wonder, how long until they have to fight for what's rightfully theirs?
Knowing eventually they'll have to fight the Hyenas back off their territory, and remind them who was gracious enough to let them drink, or come some sort of peaceful agreement between the two groups.
They're just some lions chillin' until they're no longer cool enough to chill.
