The cub had wandered some ways from his mother again and this time to see what is up with that large point rock. His mother told him of that there were lions that lived there. He had a dream the night before, a strange one.
He was nestled between his father and brother when he started to flip and turn. His eyes were clouded in series of images, all of them having no connection to the last. One significantly stood out. A round object of gold, the sun. What did it mean? Whatever it meant drawn the dark red male to the pointy rock.
"Heh, they won't even know I'm gone." Dumu murmured as he padded along.

Verdad lounged in the sun. It was quite different for her to be out in the sunshine and not running about causing her own kind of havoc. Her tail flicked almost as if it was channeling her imense energy away from her legs. Inevitably her legs began to twitch as the sun warmed her bright fur. The cubs eyes slowly opened nd moved as far back into the shade as she could. At even this young age she was beginning to see the horrors of the suns blaze.
Tail whipping at annoying flies, the cub stretched and set out to find better shade. Her mouth was watering. It wasn't that she was thirsty.
Verdad was just hot.

Dumu kept his violet eyes down at his paws as he walked. It was a wierd habit.
"One...Two...Three...Four....Five...." the rogue counted when a rather odd scent wafted to him. Well, he wasn't that old, but he knew it. Sweat. Alright, it wasn't the greatest thing to know what sweat, but hey he was a cub. Being of dark pelt, he could feel himself pant from the heat gathering in his body. He needed shade.
In the distance he saw the perfect one. Quickly he made his paw over, running. Rather be there faster and grow more tired rather slowly and rest. However, it would seem Dumu wasn't alone. A lioness was there or rather a cub.
"Hey there." he spoke in a low hoarse voice. "Mind if I sit here with you?"

Ver finally made it to shade. She sat under what seemed to be an out jutting ledge, tail curled around her. It was much too hot for the young wanderer today and she almost longed for her den. It probably wouldn't help too much but it would make the icky hot feeling go away. Her tail still flicked with energy even if she seemed like a sack of potatos that slumped over where it rested. In fact, not that she she knew what they were, she did feel like a sack of potatos.
"Atleast I'm not in the sun anymore..." Her voice was breathless. Thankfully the sun would soon de decending away from the pridelands and Pride Rock would soon block the infamus sun. At the sound of a voice her orange ears perked up. She turned and looked upon an even darker red male. A smile widened and a chuckle cam from deep in her throat. She couldn't help it, chuckling just kept naturally.
"Of course you can!"

Dumu smiled and planted himself next to the female, resting his head on his paws. The sun was moving slowly but surely and soon it will become night. The cub looked back at her with a smile, guess it was time for some idle chit-chat.
"So, it's pretty hot out, huh?" he spoke, glancing back with violet eyes. Sad attempt at starting a conversation. "Name's Yadumugandama, Dumu if you want." The dark males tail flicked behind, paying mind to how close the female was to him and how close he could flick it toward without startling her.

Ver smiled and watched as the shadows began to melt into large puddles on the ground. She was happy since that ment the sun was moving across the sky and it would soon fall into the cool of night. Her bright pelt was still hot even in the shade and she fell to her belly. The feeling of cool rock against her hot stomach soothed her.
No longer needing to pant, the cub looked up at the other with the familiar smile on her face. "Hello Dumu!" Verdad wasn't even going to try and pronounce that long but beautiful name. That name was for a different time. Red tail flicking she coughed softly. "It's getting less hot. The sun is leaving..."

"Yeah, but it will come back during the new day." he replied, letting out a soft yawn. His fur was dark, quite dark indeed and by collecting heat in it, he was still hot in the said. Dumu panted a little and yawned again.
"You know my name, so what is your's, Ver?" he asked. Actually, he just suddenly knew her name and it just came out like word vomit. Actually, this wasn't as strange as what he dreamt of the night before. That time he was unconcious and now he was fully awake and knew her name. Dumu cocked his head confused.

Verdad nodded. "It'll be on the other side waiting and watching. That's what the sun always does." Her red paws stretched and pawed at the ground. Atleast it was cool where they were. Or atleast cooler. It was still hot out since the butterflies hadn't come from their shady hovels in the trees.
"Verdad." She smiled at the darker male.

Dumu shook his head, "Well, the sun comes and the moon sleeps. The moon comes and the sun sleeps. In turn it brings forth the new day." he spoke, yawning again. It was starting cool a little, his body too, raising he gave a soft yip after another yawn. Last night, he didn't get much sleep from his strange dream. What did it mean?
"Verdad....Ver." Dumu murmured a little. In just the right light, the Eye of Horus on his forhead seemed to blink if his head moved. Strange. "Where are you from?"

Verdad yawned. "The sun makes it so hot. I don't know why..." The small cub would probably never understand why the sun warmed the earth but the fact that it did finally came to her. Her tail swished happily behind her as the shadows grew bigger and the air was beginning to cool.
"I'm from here. I was born in a small den around Pride rock." She loved her home dearly. "Where did you come from?..."

"I am from here, born in a den out there." he replied, pointing out to the savannah. She was from the Pride Land's Pride, the one that lived on that big pointy rock. Dumu made a note to go there at some point. "So what is it like to be a Pride Lander? Part of a pride?" he asked, licking his paw to keep himself from yawning from lack of sleep.
By now Azra would be out looking for him, he should not have strayed from the den like he did. He was a cub, what can they do.
