This is, essentially, how Wally lost her mother and brother, and met Kaure.
Backstory.

The halflight set the stage around the cub, the first threads of dawn stretching eager fingers across the sky, scratching away the fleeting night's blues and blacks, streaming instead soft pinks, vibrant reds and lurid yellows in their wake.
Utlwa Dunia, child of Go Galu'nadi and Eupe'Dunia, blinked at the empty hillside around her. That the hill was there was no surprise, for she had wandered there the previous night, leaving her brother and mother for the veriest minute, perhaps five, certainly no more than twenty! The surprise echoed in her emerald gaze was that the pair so familiar to her had not appeared at her side.

Unsteadily, she rose to her feet, calling their names. They did not respond. She called to them until the sun stood full above her in the clear sky, afternoon's signal. She had wandered a way whilst calling out to them, and was now near the base of the hill, on the opposite side to that she had started on. She was in unfamiliar territory, but not lost. No, Utlwa was never lost. For to be lost was to be wrong, and wrong Utlwa would not admit herself to be.
The hours passed, and she ceased calling out to them. No, panic had faded, leaving in it's place only anger. How dare they lose her? How dare her mother allow Utlwa to be seperated from herself? She had committed a crime of the highest order! Her father would not have done so. No, he would not.
The idea of her father settled upon her mind, and as the days passed the descriptions of Go Galu'nadi her mother had repeated to her pair of cubs again and again rose full in the tiny female's mind. He was as a hero in the eyes of a child, brought out in full shining colour by the imagined sins of his fellows, in this case the cub's mother.
These sins, and her father's apparent purity were repeated many more times, as the days stretched into weeks, and still the cub remained alone. Finally, in a fit of maddening anger, the tiny femme at last struck her mother's influence from herself, she changed her name. She would forever more be Utlwa Galu'nadi, taking her father's name in order to strike herself of one who (in her mind) had committed so great a sin absolution was impossible.

In the time that passed, she did little more than stew in her anger, meeting few creatures other than the birds and other small prey that fed her hunger.
A quest she gave herself, however, to find the lands her clan, her pride, had moved to, and be reunited with her uncle and grandmother, the living ties to her father.

It was little surprise that after a time she would meet with another, and indeed, this was how Kaure, a lioness much the senior of Utlwa Galu'nadi, but equally alone, enters our narrative.

The lioness, of purest white base hue, was marked all over by soft blues, and metallic gold. Her pale beauty was an almost exact opposite to Utlwa's dark grace. Her dreams had of late been jumbled, images of a stranger intermingled with lands she had never seen, and lions so intricately tattooed that her mind almost hurt trying to trace their meaning.
The dreams had ocurred each night for a week, interrupted her easy ways as she wandered the plains, for her mind was troubled by their meaning.
It was in the midst of a reverie that she nearly tripped over the juvenile, that same stranger from her dreams.

Utlwa, growling her displeasure at having a stranger attempt to walk straight through her, affixed the stranger's watery blue gaze with her own sharp, green eyes, attempting to stare down one much older and wiser than herself. She met with a rather disconcerting smile, and the words "oh, it is you."
Even a temper as hot as the juvenile's could not withstand such vague unconcern.
"What do you mean 'it's me'?" she snapped, and yet met with still no more reaction than a vague smile which alighted on the lioness' features.

"Oh, nothing," came the reply, "I was just wondering what it all meant, but it's just you, I think."
These words thoroughly confused Utlwa, and in some confusion of spirits, she peered up at Kaure, too put out to have much temper towards the lioness.
"What on earth do you mean 'just me'?"

It took a very little time to apprise her of the details, of the dreams, and of the strange knack Kaure had for dreaming 'messages,' as she put it.
Whether Utlwas was wrong to seize on this as meaning Kaure would lead her to her family time would tell, but to be sure, true it was that the pair set forth in the effort, secure in the other's company, for Kaure confused Utlwa's anger out of her mind, and the older lioness was too much inclined to like the strange, temperamental child to much mind her moods.
