Kizuato's right ear flicked once she heard Karai pacing again, she grumbled as she awakened. She hadn't been getting good sleep lately. She often dreamed of walking around in the grass at night, then the wind would blow harshly and a male lion would appear in the sky. He looked devious. Cunning. Not to mention that grin he always showed when she'd look at him, it was a grin of evil. Kizuato found comfort when looking at him suprisingly, she never was scared. He'd tell her about how he reigned supreme by getting hyenas to ally with him and overthrow the king of his pride by making it look like an accident happened when he killed the king. After exchanging words he'd teach her things. How to pounce, how to lie and manipulate others, how to hide in the shadows, and various other things. Kizuato's favorite lesson was when he'd teach her how to roar. Her first few sounded feeble and weak, nothing like what she wanted...

"One thing that you must learn is how to strike fear into others. Roaring is a suitable way to acheive this."
The lion said as she stood in the grass, wind whiping the strands as if rain was about to pour.
"Now, I want you to roar as if you are trying to [i]terrify[/i] your opponent."
Kizuato thought for a moment, then she made the best mean face she could.
"Rrr..rrrRRAaar!"
"That was pitiful, TRY AGAIN!"
"RRrr.. rrrrRRRAARrr!"
"I said TERRIFY THEM!!"
Kizuato suddenly imagined Kaka and Anga, the ones who were royal cubs of the enemy pride. Anger filled her mind and she bared her teeth in a bloodthirsty facial expression. She gathered as much air as she could and..
"RRROOOWW!!!!"
Kizuato heard someone laughing, she looked up and the lion in the clouds was chuckling darkly as he faded away.
[i]-end of flashback-[/i]
Kizuato yawned and stretched before standing up. She walked out of the den and stood by Karai while looking at the Pride Lands.
"They don't [i]deserve[/i] that land."
