A lonely brown striped tail flicked tightly against the warm ground. Sitting in a lump was a female lioness that matched the tail, laying as if nothing more than a rock. She was exhausted. How her mother raised three cubs by herself she couldn't be sure, this one boy had run her ragged.. and he was a good cub.. Maybe she wasn't meant to be a mother.
Elina let out a sigh as her eyes finally opened when the sun skid out of sight behind a random cloud. Perhaps things would be better once her son grew a little... Hunkering down, she tried to return back to sleep.
