It hadn't been that long since the two lion ladies picked up the Miz and told him that they were now a family, but it felt like aaages. Miz was totally into his new life now. His moms were kind of lame, but he really liked it when they teamed up and laid into his horrible lion uncle. Miz would like to beat up Uncle Dump too, but it was funnier to watch the two lionesses yelling at him until he cried and ran away. He did cry, too. Miz saw the tears rolling down his fat grubby face. The memory made the little hyena smile.
His Mopani-mom had told him he had a sister now as well. Miz wondered vaguely if she was a lion or a hyena or what. Well, soon he would wonder no more, because he was stomping into the den. He peered in, spotting someone small and red. He squinted. Yep, another lion, like just about everybody here. The little hyena strolled in, puffing his chest out to make himself look bigger. If she was his sister, he should probably let her know what was up in the fam. Double moms were kind of annoying at times, but they were way better than Miz's old clan, which had what seemed like five hundred hyena ladies bitching and griping and all going on their periods at the same time.
"Hey," Miz said, striking a pose. "I'm the Miz. You're my sister now, right?"
Batarr'ctyk woke up in the den of the lioness that had rescued her. She lived with another lioness named Mopani, and she had said that she had a little male running around as well. Batarr had not seen him over the last night, though, and expected that she would meet him at some point today.
