High up above the ground, still as could be, the Lioness waited.
With her body lying over a tall tree's branch, none could notice her presence.
Even the natural shine that her eyes usually have had been dimmed.
Protect Master. Wait for Master.
Nothing else matters.
Krista waited, and waited.
She grew accustomed to the darkness she used to fear.
The Lioness waited in the dark.
From time to time, Monsters and horrific Creatures passed below. She did not care. She did not mind.
They couldn't notice her. And she barely noticed them. Because they were inconsequential.
How long had Master been gone for? An hour? Two?
The Lioness waited. Without moving, without looking away.
Step- Step- Step-
It walked closer.
Another inconsequential-
"Damn that Zino..."
It talks? Different from the others.
