Aslan sighed as he dragged his paws along the forest floor. His paws hurt, and he was exhausted, he nearly wanted to flop onto the ground, curl up and sleep. But he had to keep going, he had to follow Ekevu and the others, but even ekevu was starting drag his paws. The trees around them had started to grow thinner and thinner, as the first rays of the sun peeked over the horizon, the group crested the hard wood ridge they had been following. Below them another mile away sat an encampment the outside surrounded by thick brush, two large boulders marked its entrance, it took up nearly the entire clearing below them, and it was busy with movemen

Aslans paws felt heavy by the time he and Nadim returned to the hidden cave. “ go get some rest young one, it has been a long day” nadim said giving aslan a nuzzle. Aslan smiled and yawned making his way to the cave. As Aslan slept in the cave Ekevu, Nadim and the guard gathered together. “ what us our next move ekevu” bagheera asked “ we get back on track to the coronation, we have lost enough time, and i don't think Malum will be pleased when he finds out about the jail break” “ekevu, why hadn't you told aslan about Malum,” “i hadn't realized he didn't know of the leader of the panth

Five The group looked expectantly at Arwen as he thoughtfully looked into the distance. “ the only way is to sneak in” “sneak in a group of us, that seems like wishful thinking, unless of course there us another way in that gets us past those guards” “ there is a secondary entrance but that is guarded too, even if we made a move doing a guard change sneaking all of you it would be near impossible.” “so then who will be sneaking in?” “me, and our king” Arwen said “what, no that's too dangerous the guards will stop him and throw him in with the others not to mention he has no co

Four Deep in the forest just south of the snowlands, the panthers stronghold sprawled out among the rocky outcroppings. Through the brush a black panther dashed bursting into the camp, he slowed his pace only slightly as ge approached a large rock in which his leader a large dark cat with bright yellow eyes sat his tail twitching in his usual impatient mood. “your majesty” the cat said dipping his head respectfully to his king. “ you had better have news for me, that won't disappoint me” he growled. The panther hesitated thinking about what he discovered. “i do have news, news that i think you will find most i

Three The group of cats that nestled into a warm den on the snow covered Nomads Mountain, looked down upon their young king Aslan as he declared he would follow them into the dangers of Amar. Ekevu could only smile down at Aslan, he could see the great king in him already. Bagheera sighed and nodded realizing that Aslan had to make his own choice and that he was making the right one. “When do we leave?” Bagheera asked “We?” “If you are taking Aslan into Amar I am going with him” Bagheera said “I would not expect anything less” Ekevu said. “we should leave as soon as possible the rest of

“Do all lions have manes?” “Ha, ha, no only males do” Ekevu said. Aslan looked at a tawny colored cat who lay beside Ekevu. “So that must mean you’re a lion like Ekevu” “Yes, females are called lionesses. My name is Rayna” she said gently to Aslan knowing he did not know much beyond his secluded nomad lifestyle. “Why do some of you have stripes and the others spots?” “Well, there are many different types of cats in Amar, some big, some small.” “Some like me have stripes, we are called tigers” an orange furred black striped cat said. “I have spo

“I’ve got you now little cub” the cat said looking down at Aslan ready to swipe for him. Aslan pressed himself against the side of the snow cave trying to create as much distance as he could, but it wasn’t much. “Help!” Aslan called out hoping someone would hear him. Just as the panther reached down a grey blur leaped through the air tackling him to the ground. The snow leopard pinned the panther down and snarled at him. “Leave the cub alone!” Aslan recognized the voice it was Bagheera. Aslan took the opportunity and climbed out the snow cave. As he looked around he saw Bagheera and the Panth

Two A young snow leopard opened his eyes. Taking in the dimly lit cave. Quietly he rose to his paws, ready to sneak out of the den. He edged closer to the opening of the cave, pausing he looked over his shoulder at the sleeping form of another snow leopard. Sure that the other cat was still sleeping he crept along nearly reaching the entrance. “Aslan” a voice said from behind him “Yes, Bagheera?” Aslan said looking back at Bagheera “What are you doing leaving the den so early? The sun hasn’t even risen?” “Well, Archel said that nomad’s lookout has a great view of Amar at sunset” 

The sun was nearly set when King Erevu and his small patrol entered the snowy and cold kingdom of the snow leopards. An aged clouded leopard met them at the entrance of the snow leopards palace, which was carved in the caves of a snow covered mountain. “Arwen where is Lard Nadim?” Erevu asked “Tending to his mate Lady Shira she is preparing to birth, let me escort you inside so you can stay warm” Arwen led the way through the caves leading king Erevu to Lord Nadim’s den. “My lord?” Arwen called into the den “Enter Arwen” “My lord, presenting King Erevu” Arwen declared as he

ONE Lord Nadim sat on the moss covered rocks of his den looking out into the darkness of his snow covered mountain kingdom. His mate Shira rested in the far corner of the den her belly swollen with their soon to be born cubs. Nadim watched a dark figure in the distance a figure he had seen many nights just watching them, it sent shivers down his spine, it made him fear for the future of Amar. “Darling, will you stop staring into the distance and come get some rest” Shira asked her mate. Watching him as a cool breeze tossed his black spotted grey fur. He turned to look at her his ice eyes still deep in thought. “Sorry dear
