Description
All of Hatari's life she had to be strong, or her pride would eat her alive. Hatari lived by these rules, becoming stone faced, almost emotionless. She had no reason to fight, no matter how horrible the treatment was, this was her home right?

The spring air was warm, bringing in a gentle breeze in Hatari's cave. She had been told to pair this season, the kingdom needed new blood. She'd been lucky, to give birth during the cloak of night, where no one knew she'd even delivered yet.

Hatari looked down at the small bundle of brown fur, so much like hers. She had been surprised when she only delivered one cub, a little girl. A little girl who she thought would be easier to give up.

"Hatari?" The lioness jumped, instinctively hiding the newborn from the stranger, but was relived to find it was her friend, and the father of the cub.

"Jasiri" She sighed, nuzzling her friend as he approached her, the two finding comfort and solace in each other, even if for a moment

"Hatari, she's beautiful, but I'm afraid I bring bad news.." The lion looked away from the cub to meet Hatari's panicked eyes. "The pride is splitting up, half of us, me, my pride and others are going to a new larger kingdom..far from their. Their taking Tamu."

Hatari's heart dropped as she thought of her little sister, hardly out of training and joining a larger possibly more dangerous situation. "NO, Jasiri, You have to tell them-" Jasiri placed his paw on her arm, stopping her anxious ramblings. "Hatari you can get out, during the move everyone is focused on the task, you can slip away and leave." He was practically begging. Hatari swallowed thickly, she'd never thought about leaving, the idea always seemed impossible, but now might be her chance. She looked up at him again. "You're coming with me right?"

The male gave her a heart broken look, answering her question immediately. "I can't leave my old pride, my other cubs" He said hoarsely. "Besides, too many lions and you'll get caught." Hatari felt like her world was crumbling. She didn't want to loose Jasiri, but if she didn't move she'd have to face the same heart break again, when her sister was ripped from her paws, just like her daughter was supposed to be.

"Take her" She whispered, pushing the small ball of fluff toward Jasiri.

"Hatari-"

"I can't take her when we escape, please just. Take her with you, train her. Protect her" She could feel tears swelling and slowly falling from her eyes. It wasn't fair, this wasn't fair.

"Tell them I finally delivered and handed over the cub no problem, it'll put me on the lords good side"

Jasiri stared at the heart broken lioness for a moment before nodding, standing up and picking up the small cub.

"Jasiri?"

Hatari wiped her tears from her eyes.

"Please name her kiburi

Hatari's backstory! She's from a very cruel and strict pride, often treating its members as objects then things. Hatari ends up having her own cub before leaving with Tamu and escaping to her new better pride.

Also Jasiri and Kiburi will be showing up more soon!

Because I love them

Hatari and Kiburi were made by me!
