Viewer discretion is advised.

I'm pretty sure that's what they say on Animal Planet, right?

[ROAR]

Get off of our land, No-Mane!

[ROAR]

Did they hurt you?

Stop it Dad, I'm fine.

Don't ever do that to us again.

We were so worried.

Nothing happened Dad, I'm fine.

Waterhunter, take him back to the Sisters' Steppe with the girls.

Put me down, Mom, I'm okay!

I wanna stay with Nothing!

You almost died, Feather.

Yeah, Feather! No-Manes eat cubs!

We all could have died.

How DARE you?

I'm sorry.

You're sorry!?

You left my daughters alone.

You took my son beyond the safety of the Sisters' Steppe

despite KNOWING No-Manes were in the area!

That wasn't a No-Mane, I don't know what he was.

Fire told me--

Your brother was here!?

No!

Do NOT lie to your Mane, Nothing!

Fire just stopped to visit and Feather insisted on coming

but he wasn't in any danger I promise--

I don't know why the Goddesses have punished us with you,

but it ends NOW!

You've always been a curse!

Why is it raining? It's dry season!

Sharptongue was right. The Goddesses are angry!

You did this!

You're--you're a demon! I've known it since you were young!

I didn't!

If the Goddesses won't let me kill you, I'll take your worm of a brother instead!

Quickmane, no!

He hasn't done anything! I'm sorry it was me!

Stay away from me! Demon!

Someone help me stop him!

Fire is innocent in all of this!

Mother, please.

Fire made his choice when he returned.

I'm not his mother any longer. He's a No-Mane now.

What is wrong with you!?

You used to love us!

I do love you, Nothing!

I love you so much it hurts! That's the problem.

Don't you see!?

Asra's teeth! You could have been a Hunt Chief.

You could have been my proudest achievement.

And yet.

When I look at you...

all I can see is who you could have been.

It makes me feel... weak.

Weak is one thing a Pride Lioness can never be.

So I don't look at you.

Fire should have done the same to protect himself.

He let you make him weak.

And if that kills him... so be it.

Let's go, Huntresses.

Hover, wait!

Longrun? Are you coming?

I'll catch up.

Longrun. You completed your ceremony.

Yeah. You'd know if you'd come.

I tried, but Fire was here and I lost track of time...

I don't care. You broke a promise.

Well, I'm sorry.

But Hover-- er, Longrun -- I really do need your help right now.

I can't stop Quickmane alone, please.

I joined this Pride for you, Nothing.

I did it because I care about you.

I know--

This was important to me.

I threw away my life for this -- for you!

You chose to go off with Fire and miss my ceremony.

You did that.

I said I'm sorry! I didn't mean for it happen this way!

I don't care what you meant.

I care what you did.

All of this is your own fault.

So solve it yourself.

Hover, come on!

That's not my name anymore.

I'll see you back at the Steppe.

Fire! Quickmane!

Fire, if you're out there please, please answer me!

You're in danger!

What did I just trip...

on.

Someone killed him.

Which means... the cubs!

Take one more step and you're next.

You killed him? But Fire said--

Fire's gone.

Now, where are the other lionesses.

The Sisters' Steppe.

With the cubs?

Answer me! Now!

Y-yes. They're with their mother.

Good. I'll have to thank the little red one for his tip.

It was very... informative.

Now, I'm sorry Nothing, but, your usefulness has reached its end.

Wait! You can't kill me! The Curse!

The... Curse?

Yes!

When I was a cub, Quickmane let me live because

the Goddesses would punish him if he harmed me.

And?

And! Today he attacked me and now he's dead.

If you hurt me they'll punish you too!

I won't keep you in my Pride just because of some "Curse".

That's fine.

Just let me go.

You'd only be going to you death.

No Pride will take you and you won't last a week alone on the Stretch.

Fire. Fire will take me!

If the Pride knew you were alive--

Then say you killed me!

I won't matter to them anyway.

Fine. Go.

And, Nothing?

None of this was personal.

It's just what a Mane has to do to survive.

When you find Fire, make sure he knows that.

All these tracks go in different directions!

Which one's Fire's?

Nothing!

Feather!? What are you doing out here, are you okay?

I came to make sure you were okay!

Everyone's saying my Dad hurt you

and wanted to hurt Fire too!

I'm so sorry I got you in trouble.

I didn't mean to do that! I shouldn't have followed you.

This is all my fault.

Oh Feather... that's okay. I'm sorry I put you in the middle of all this.

When we go back to the Sisters Steppe, I can explain everything to Dad!

He'll understand, I promise!

I'm not going back there.

Why?

Hey. Can you help me with something?

You've been working on your tracking skills, right?

Silentstalk says I'm a real natural

and I could have been a great huntress if I was a lioness!

That's great!

Can you tell me which tracks might be Fire's?

Mmm, these ones!

You're sure?

Yep!

Fire was the smallest No-Mane in the band

and these are the shallowest tracks!

Feather you're a genius!

Come on. We don't have much time before the rain washes these away.

Why are we leaving?

I told you...

I can make stuff okay with Dad.

It's not that.

What is it then?

I don't understand.

Feather I need you to trust me right now.

I promise I'll explain everything later but this isn't the time.

Please. Come with me.

Are we... ever coming back?

I don't know.

I've never been further than this before.

I'm scared.

Me too.

We'll be brave together, okay?

Okay. We'll do it together.
