Amara put weight on her leg and winced before she glanced at the lioness who seemed to be leading the group. "If it's not too much trouble, I probably should take you up on the offer" she said. "It's worse than what I thought." She knew Aslan wouldn't be happy she was gone for so long, but she didn't care right then.

~~

Aslan glared at the lionesses who brought the antelope back. "Where is Amara" he asked, his eyes narrowed. "She went looking for what could be some borders" replied Kaya. She wasnt happy that Aslan was bossing around the lionesses at all and not taking his job seriously.

Oasis looked back "Ok" She walked slower looking back often as they traveled. About halfway there she looked over to Acacia " Warn River that we are coming "

Acacia nodded than raced off.

Amara followed the lionesses, keeping alert. From the smell if it, their pride was larger than hers, but she hoped that wouldn't become an issue. She winced slightly as she walked, trying to not stumble from the pain. Amara watched as the one lioness took off, making her wonder who this River lion was. *Probably their king* she thought as she kept her paws under her. "Thank you for being willing to help" she said after a long period of silence.

Oasis paused before looking back. " your welcome. " She said

When they got to the pride's camp Oasis could see River expecting the group. " Take the lioness to Savanna and Flycatcher. " she said softly to Rainfall.

The two lioness es didn't know much but often just enough to save a life of a lion if they got trampled by a herd of prey or attacked by the occasional young loners. Never that bad though.

Oasis expected to be in trouble, maybe having to eat last of the afternoon hunt caught anything, but no. River turned away understanding helping foreign lions. A few lions in this pride were loners.

As River left Oasis took a moment to look around.

River: The golden maned leader:

Storm: Black maned and next in line to be leader.

Ginger: The russet colored lioness and Oasis's mother.

Fog: a dark tan lioness growing old but can still hunt.

Magpie: soft golden in color with yellow eyes.

Okra: the only cub right now

The main hunting lioness: Grove, Comet, Gazzel, cloud, Sky, as well as the hunters that had just returned in Oasis's group Rainfall, Monsoon, Acacia, and Tide.

The healers Savanna and Flycatcher lived in a circle of tall grass.

Amara followed them to the Healers, limping now that she had been walking for a bit. She winced in pain before she stopped for just a moment to allow herself to be off her injured shoulder. As she followed once more, she wondered how Aslan was handling being in camp without her. *Do I need to take over the pride* she thought. She knew most prides were lead by a male, but none in their pride were happy with Aslan, and without another cub born to the former king and queen, there was only Amara that could take over due to their pride laws. *Well, nothing says a lioness can't lead. Just that they need to be of royal blood* she thought as she flicked her ear, getting annoyed with the flies that swarmed her due to her wounds.

Oasis settled down near one of the baobab trees. She was tired after the hunt and wanted to rest. She rested her head on her folded front paws.
