Yeah I'm lookin' at you, kid.

I miss you, Nothing.

Everything's felt so pointless since you've been gone.

I'm not happy here...

But leaving doesn't seem much better.

I'm just....

Drifting.

I think about the look on your face when you left.

And all the things I said to you...

If I hadn't gotten so angry that day maybe you'd still be here.

With me.

Hey Longrun!

What are you doing out here?

Ah, y'know.

Sitting in a tree in the middle of the night staring unblinkingly at the moon.

Normal Pride stuff.

Are you thinking about her?

Thought so.

I've seen that look on my mother's face since I was a cub.

No matter how perfect I was,

her attention always fell back to our troubled older sister.

I was first place in everything else,

but never that.

I hated Nothing so much for that...

That must be hard.

It is.

[TWIG BREAKING]

Who's there?

You're on Pride Territory under the protection of

Proudmane and his Huntresses.

Show yourself!

Don't have a fit.

I'm just an old traveller, looking for water.

Our water is for Pride lions only.

Move along, Prideless.

You understand, don't you?

Ah, come on Farleap! She's harmless.

The water level's already low!

If Proudmane finds out--

He won't find out. Just relax.

Dry season's tough for everyone.

Fine.

But you'll be supervised the whole time

and you'll leave our territory as soon as you've finished.

Mighty kind of you.

She's drinking a lot.

Maybe we should ask her to stop?

Give her a break, life's hard on the Stretch.

You're not Hover anymore.

You're one of us.

Your Pridemates should be your primary concern.

[RAIN] Sorry to interrupt, but is one of you called Hover?

[FARLEAP] No! [HOVER] Yes!

When I was Prideless, I was called Hover.

She has a proper Pride name now!

She's called Longrun.

Why do you ask?

I met a lioness on the Stretch a few weeks back

who was lookin' for a "Hover".

Mistook me for her.

Reckon that's you?

Did this lioness, did she have an injured leg?!

She did! Poor thing's out there wanderin' the Stretch

alone with a cub to look after.

That's Nothing! She's alive!

Don't get ahead of yourself.

For one thing Nothing doesn't have cubs,

and for another, Proudmane said he killed her.

Why would he lie about that?

You're right...

Why WOULD he lie?

Let's go find out!

Before we go accuse our Mane of anything,

let's get more details!

Prideless, do you remember anything else about--

Where did she go?

Eh, she probably "moved along".

Prideless aren't great at goodbyes.

Let's get back to the Steppe.

[RAIN] Pardon the interruption, but before we go any further,

[POWERSTRIKE] Just where were you two?

We were out galavanting.

Galavanting?

More of a light jaunt, really.

We're going to go to sleep now.

No, we're not.

We're looking for Proudmane.

Proudmane doesn't wish to be disturbed.

Nevermind. Found him.

Longrun, wait!

Proudmane!

Question for you.

I told Powerstrike we were not to be disturbed.

This better be important, Longrun.

Very important, yes! It's about Nothing.

The injured lioness who was in this Pride

before you were Mane.

Do you remember her?

Hm. Vaugely.

As I recall I killed her on the

same day I got rid of your old Mane.

Why are you bothering me with this?

I think she's alive. In fact, I know she is.

Which makes you a liar. Why?

You're mistaken.Leave us.

I'm not. Farleap and I met a Prideless

lioness who met her on thee Stretch.

You believe this too?

I... met the Prideless too, Sir. But...

I'm not sure the lioness she described was Nothing.

It... it could have been anyone...

Your friend is dead, Longrun.

Accept it, and move on.

He's right. You need to let her go.

You're lying!

I know she's out there!

I don't care if you won't admit it!

I'll find her myself!

You'd leave a Pride in the middle of dry season to...

chase a ghost?

Yes!

If there's any possibility she's alive, I have to!

Why do you care so much?

Because I love her!

Pride Law forbids relationships between Lionesses.

Huntresses belong to their Mane.

This is a misunderstanding!

You loved her as a... close friend!

The same way you love me, or Silentstalk!

No.

I meant exactly what I said.

I love her.

What you've just admitted to is punishable by death.

[POWERSTRIKE] Punishable by death but rarely enforced.

Quickmane and I were aware of their relationship

when she joined our Pride.

We accepted her regardless.

You should honour our decision.

I'm not Quickmane.

In My Pride all the ancient laws are enforced.

Leniency, please!

If you vow never to speak of your...infraction, again

and pledge your life to your Pride and your Mane,

I will forget about this.

That is my only offer.

I'd rather pledge my life to a warthog's rear

end than the likes of you!

Someone ought to teach you some respect!

If you want to hurt her, you'll have to go through me.

What are you doing?

You're a stubborn idiot, but I won't let you die for it.

Step down, Farleap.

You're a prime example of a devout Pride Huntress.

This foolishness is beneath you.

I'll decide what I am, thanks.

Leave them be, Proudmane!

I stand with my Huntresses!

Flaming eyes!

How is it that I've captured an entire Pride of Heratics!

Go and chase your ghost!

You're all replacable!

Sounds great to me.

Farleap, don't go!

I know Longrun is your friend but you can't

seriously intend to leave over this!

You'll die out there!

Proudmane is wrong, you must know that.

And what about Nothing?

Nothing is dead.

Huntresses belong to their Mane.

You're my sister and my hero and my best friend.

Please don't go, I need you!

What is it?

I'll just...

I'll miss you. That's all.

I love you, Silentstalk.

And you'll always be welcome with us if you change your mind.

There's no reasoning with her now.

She's been infected with that Prideless scum your mother allowed to poison the Pride.

Come, Silentstalk.

Do you really think she's alive?

Of course!

If you didn't think so, why did you leave?

For you. Because she loved you and...

You're all I have left of her.

She loved you too, you know.

I know she did. Only Sunce knows why.

We'll find her. I promise.

So, what now?

I've never been beyond the bounds of our territory.

I wouldn't even know where to begin.

Luckily I'm kind of an expert on getting by on the Stretch!

Since it seems you're our leader now,

Perhaps we should start calling you Longrunmane!

Hm. Actually.

I'd like it if you called me Hover.
