Description

"We're almost there" Ramla promised, as the sun began to set, Gathii wearily plodding behind him.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, of course I am! I can smell the meat she caught already. come on, Gathii, not far to walk now"
Gathii couldn't see how the brown lion could be so enthusiastic. they'd walked so far that the pads of his paws were starting to crack, and it was sore to walk on the sands. he just wanted to sleep, but then he caught the scent of the meat that Ramla was talking about, and he realised that he was very hungry.
A lioness stood waiting by a rocky outcrop. She seemed to be on the look out for something, and when she saw Ramla, her eyes lit up and she jumped of the rock and made her way to greet them.
"Ramla, dear. Don't go and play so far away all the time" She admonished him, "I worry that one day you might not come back." She licked him and fussed over him, and Gathii wanted to cry.
"Oh, hello there dear," She said to Gathii, noticing him for the first time. "Do you want to stay for dinner?"
"I don't want to be any trouble"
"Oh, nonsense, deary - there's still plenty of meat to go around. Besides, we have eyes in the skies if we need to hunt any more game." She smiled, and though Gathii missed his own mother, he trusted this lioness.
"Nice to know I'm appreciated," There was a mumble to their left, and a grey lion sitting on a rock, staring intently at a small clump of flowers.
The first thing Gathii noticed was that this lion had wings.
the second thing was that he was stripey. like Gathii was.
"Oh, hush, Todorov, you know we love you really. You're like the little brother I never had."
"Of course." Gathii couldn't stop staring at the stripes. There was someone else, besides him, another lion, with stripes. Admittedly, one with wings and a blue flame at the end of his tail, but still. Stripes.
"Oh, how rude of me, sweetie, I haven't introduced myself - my name is Hana. I'm Ramla's mother, and I suppose you could say I'm the one in charge around here, though we all pull our weight. the grumpy one's Todorov, and you know Ramla, of course, then there's-" She was interrupted by a small shape hurtling towards them.
"Miss Hana! Miss Hana! I saw lions in the clouds, and they were fighting."
"Dodger, sweetheart, it's alright. Sometimes the skies replay the great battle. Anyhow, Dodger, we have a guest."
"We do? Oh, hey there, little stripey lion, I'm Dodger, what's your name?"
"It's Gathii. Hi, kid. and who're you calling little, you're half my size!" Dodger shrugged and stretched, showing off his strange pattern of spots and splodges of colour on his grey fur.
"Whatever, can we eat now? I'm starving." Hana just shook her hear laughingly and the youths, and brought back a hank of meat from their stockpile.
"Here you go kids, eat up"
Todorov ignored them, lost in thoughts of the past.


Okay, BIG story there, virtual hug and cookie to anyone who finishes reading that.
