"So where are we REALLY~ going?"
"To get some water from the oasis."
"Aww~ But I thought it was gunna be some epic adventure!"
"Who said anything about adventure. It's what the pride needs. What our family needs."
"But who said we couldn't have a little sidetracking fun?"
"I thought you were hot."
"Well I am, just adventure sounds like there could be a bigger prize to be won at the end."
"Well water is our prize. If you don't want to come, just go back home."
"But I wanna be with you~!"
"Then shut it!"
"Sheesh~ Party pooper~"
The two were out scavenging for water, the oasis was just a bit away. Zhen knew that it wasn't a good idea, but the water supply in Ebio's place was running low and trying to feed hungry mouths, and supply them with....water? Well Zhen couldn't sit back and watch as her adoptive family went without any of thoughs things. She went the extra miles for game, and went in to the dangerous places to find water.. But with a cub at her heels, she sighed in utter disappointment that she wouldn't be able to find the water they needed. Decked out in clothes that covered their faces, they looked similar to assassins, but oh and behold, just a lioness with a juvenile looking for water to bring back to their home. Upon arrival, she found the night to thank for its beauty that covered the water. It was a small supply... desperately low. It seems others had bled it dry.
"Water!" Ha'deh springed forward. "Ha'deh, hold on. Ha'deh!" Ha'deh's maw softly touched the water that just enough for about four paw fulls. "I'm just taking a sip~" "Yea, but there is little one. Two, I think others may be around here.. It looks as though it's been bigger.. " Zhen was now a grown lioness, not even completely started her prime.. touched the edge where the oasis should have started. Examining it. "Don't take too much!" Zhen walked closer, and the sands seemed weaker.. more wet.. "I'm not!" Ha'deh replied with a snap before feeling her paws sink.. She turned to them soon after and realized that, then laughed. "Look Zhen, more water! I made it make~ WOAH!" The ground below her caved in as she fell in to the water below, that quickly rushed her through an underground tunnel..
"HA'DEH!"
The sand had eaten her.. "NO!" She quickly threw herself forward and barely made touching Ha'deh's tail before she too went under. Sucked in to another air pocket in another part of the tunnel. One one side, Ha'deh landed full force upon one of her arms.. Displacing it and screamed in pain.. While Zhen got knocked out on the way down..
