I could save all my files but I cannot work with my PC without access to the internet.... So for now I will work on my old laptop and hope for the best!

Sooo about the picture

This scene takes place after Huruma founds his children and the poor cub. Roho is the blue cub and Kuumwa ist he one on top of him. Tamaa ist he lioness tot he right. I had a lot of fun doing this and work on the story and the character!

Huruma was walking thorugh the high grass and was searching for a place to hide from the burning afternoon sun. His ears twitched as he noticed a faint noise. He had a strange feeling and stopped suddely. That caused Kuumwa to bump into him. „Dad, why do you stop!“ he huffed as he was holding his nose with his paw. Hurmua was still listening for the noise he just heared but he coundn´t seem to find it again. „Whats up there?“ Roho and his sister Tamaa were catching up on them also wondering why their dad has stopped so suddenly.

„It is nothing kids… I just thought that I heard something. Lets keep going. The sun is killing me….“

„You do not have to tell me dad! Since my mane has grown I know what you are takling about.“ Roho said proudly with a grin at his brother. „Oh come on! That little tuff on your head? You cannot call that a mane it looks more like you have some grass stuck into your fur. Wait let me help you to get rid of it!“ With that Kuumwa jumped at is older brother. Roho screamed in surprise and altough he was slightly bigger that Kuumwa he was quickly on the ground. „Daaaaaad! He is pulling at my fur again!“ Roho shouted.

Huruma looked around and couldn´t hide his amusemend. „Come on Kuumwa. If you keep pulling like that your brother will get some bald spots.“

„I would love to see that.“ Tamaa said giggeling. „Oh wait till I get you!“ Roho managed to wiggle away form his brother and starts running at his sister. Tamaa squealed with joy as her brother run up to her. „Hey wait I wasn´t finished.“ Now Kuumwa was after them too.

„Hey do not run too far away!“ Huruma shoutet after them, his head high to keep them in sighn.

„Nah Dad, dont be so worried, as if I would get…uff“ Tamaa coundn´t finish her sentence. She was looking back at her father while running and missed a rock on the ground and stumbled. That caused the other siblings to crash with her and they tumbled down a small hill.

„Children!!!“ Huruma went quickly after them with fear in his eyes. He walked through the thick gras and was trying to spot them. The voice of his eldest son catched his attention. „Dad…uhm… you should take a look at this!“ The big lion went after the voice and as he managed to get trhough the grass he found his children infront of him but there was also another cub. It looked up to the family with tears in his eyes. He looked very scruffy and had some scratched over his body. He must have stumpled down the hill as well.

„Mom?“ The little cub wimpered more to himself with a small voice and his eyes flickered between the siblings and Huruma. The big lion looked around and tried to spot a trail where the mother could have went. But there was none. An awful feeling creeped up his spine. He approched the small cub with bowed head which was still asking after his mother.

„Hello there. You looked like you fell down that hill like my kids. Why did you ran that way?“ The small cub was only wimpering and shaking now and backed off but as he was about to walk his hind leg gave up and he fell again. Tamaa rushed forward. „Careful little lad. You took quite a hit. But don´t be afraid of us we….“ She stopped and her eyes went wide with fear.

„Dad…“ She turned around to her father who was now worried. „Do you smell that? Thats…that is…“

Huruma approched the cub again and he noticed what his daughter was talking about. He closed his eyes as he imagined what the cub must have experienced. The scent of hyenas and blood was all over the little body. Hurmua lied down right infront oft he cub and smiled at him. „Boys come over here.“ Roho and Kuumwa who were behind their father walked now to the cub. They seem to understands their dads intention and sat down as well. The cub looked at them with irritation but relaxed a bit as Tamaa sat down besind him.

„Now we don´t look so scary do we?“ Huruma said softely. „What do you think of the idea to take of to a shady place? It looks like you could use a cold bath as well. And Roho here happens to know the perfect place for it.“

„And I can show you how to catch some bugs as well! There are plenty at the waterhole!“ Roho said with excitment.

The cub was still silent but his eyes lit up a bit before he showed the family a small smile.

„Looks like he likes the idea dad.“, Kuumwa said happily as he jumped up.

„But I should show him how to catch bugs! You are kind of a a loser in that game Roho…“ he added with a chuckle.

„Only because I let you win! You bald head!“ With that the Roho jumped on his brother and they were rolling around again. The small cub giggled with joy as it watched them.

„Now look at that.“ Huruma smiled down at the cub. „So would you join us for a walk? I would even carry you on my back if oyu would like to.“ The cub nodded vigorously as it tried to stand up. He started to quiver again but this time Huruma hold him up with one of his big paws. „Be carful. And now hop on my back. Tamaa would you help?“ Huruma turned his back to he cub and bowed down and Tamaa helped the little cub on top of her fathers shoulders. „But don´t pull at my mane or I will get bald spots too.“ Hurmuma chuckled as he began to walk towards the waterhole.

„Come on Roho show us the way!“ Roho and Kuumwa were quickly infront of them and Tamaa followed them. „Hey guys wait for me!“

As Huruma strolled after them the little cub tugged as his mane. Huruma stopped for a second and turned his head to the cub.

„Maybe…Maybe my mom will be there too. Do you think we can look for her. After I catched some bugs to show her?“ Hurumas heart stings at the words of the little cub on his back… He already knew that the mother wouldn´t be there… but he still smiled at the cub and said softely: „A mother will never leave her cub. You know… even if you cannot see her she will be around.“ The cub smiled happy. „So she will be waiting for me. Thank you so much for taking me there.“ The cub snuggled close to Hurumas mane. Huruma looked at his cubs infront of him and said: „A family will never leave your side. We will watch out for you. I promise!“

Bio fort he cub:

Name: Mwanga (glow)

Sex: Male

Age: Mwanga is a year younger than the other children of Huruma

Family: Huruma (adoptive father), Tamaa, Roho, Kuumwa (adoptive siblings)

Apperiance: He has a very fluffy fur which collides with his smooth mane.

Physical Attributes:
Mwanga might appear smaller side to side with his siblings (because of their father genes) but he is actually of normal sice for a male lion.

He is a slender lion but because oft he constant traveling oft he family he is quite athletic and fast and can take on even bigger opponenst or prey. A scar on his hind leg remembers him oft he lost of his mother.

Strenghts and Weaknesses:

Out oft he siblings he is the fastest but is not that good with condition. When hunting he prefers to take the part of killing the prey which his siblings will chase to him.

While he likes to rest and sleep he is very restless and prefers to guard the territory. Well, so he says at least. But the truth is he does not want to bother his adopive siblings with his problems altough it never works. They always know if he is troubled by something.

He ha soften problems with nighmares and he hates the night.

Mwanga loves his family to death and is a loyal lion to his friends. When someone disrespects him or his family he i soften short temperd and his usually calm self cracks.

Personality:

Mwanga has a very strong mind but is usally very calm. The only exeption is when he is around his siblings. He is very close to his big sister Tamaa and you can often spot them together laughting and talking about everything. Even if Mwanga seems like the calmest oft he boys he shares actually a competive nature with his siblings Roho and Kuumwa. Kuumwa is usually the one who will slow Roho and Mwanga down.

To strangers Mwanga seems reserved and even cold but he simply has a hard time building up trust and realxing around others besides his family. When together with someone he can trust he is quite open and is a joyful lion.

Mwanga is also a pretty smart lion but tends to be very honest with his opinions what will cause problems if his opponent is not used to him. His siblings are often there to ease the situation, exspecially Tamaa has an eye on him and is very protective.

Because of the sparring with his siblings and the training of his father he is quite a good fighter and relies on his agility. But because he has a poor condition he will get into trouble if a fight will go one for to long.
