Wind struggled, as best he could, to his feet and began the long trek back to his new home. His leg was healing nicely, but it still hurt to put weight on it. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot up his leg and he stumbled and fell into the dust. He glanced down at his injury and realized that it would leave a huge scar. He sighed, closing his eyes. Well, I suppose it's for the best, he thought. I don't ever want to forget the reason I was injured in the first place... Determined, he got to his feet once more and limped slowly, but surely, towards home.
Jade glanced back towards the Tsar border with the Sabers once more. She wondered what had become of Serenity, and hoped that her punishment wasn't too severe. Now that I think anout it, she thought, Cleo hasn't said a word to me about what happened yet, and I'm sure he knows...is he angry with me? she wondered, glancing up at her mate.
Serenity felt better now that she had been left alone. However, too much time alone was never a good thing, and she was sure that her skills were needed back at camp. As she started back, she noticed Otis just ahead of her, thinking. She tilted her head and wondered what was troubling him. "Otis," she greeted her leader softly, sitting down beside him. "Is there something wrong?"
Ari had reached the watering hole just seconds before Skye, and he shouted, "I'm the winner!" and turned to face his sister, grinning. He pounced on her playfully, not noticing that his shouts had attracted the attention of 2 hyenas who were also having a drink. The wolf-like creatures were technically on the very edge of Saber territory, but the hyenas were not bound by the lion territories. They saw the two cubs as an easy target, and crouched low to the ground, beginning their attack. The two playful cubs had no idea they were being watched.
