The African heat was never something to mess with, and she for certain had learned that particular lesson quite a few times in her life time. At least now the pride wasn't being forced to hunt all hours of the day and night. They could afford to relax and actually enjoy the beauty that was all around them. She had missed having time to just relax and feel at peace. Sarabi had woken up early to try and attempt a early morning hunt, but they had failed to bring down anything. Which meant they would have to try again when the sun finally set and darkness took the heat away. Although this also meant she had plenty of time to do whatever now before the evening hunt started. Her feet carried her quietly towards a familiar destination. The newly renamed Hukana Matata falls, it was a beautiful spot to relax.
It brought her so much joy to see it green again, during the Shadow Times it had all but died. Only a small trickle of water had flowed from the falls, and it had been the saving grace for many animals that were dying. She hadn't visited this place since her son had come back home. Rumor had it this was where her son's foster family now lived. Timon and Pumba called this little paradise home. Sarabi had never been one to pick favorites but they had done the pride a great service and so she had left it go. Besides sometimes the old ways were best forgotten.
As she arrived, she looked around for a moment. Some of the animals bowed and murmured greetings. "Hello Sarabi.. " "Good afternoon Queen Mother.." She said hello to each and everyone of them before she finally came to a stop by the falls. Dipping her head, she got a nice long cool drink, enjoying the feeling of the water flowing down her throat. Water was such a treasure. Once she filled her belly to the brim with the precious liquid she looked for a place to lounge.
