Time stands still for nobody. No matter how much it pains us, time's inexorable march ushers in good news along with the bad.

For Mohatu, the family's fifth month in Pride Rock dawns with a number of difficulties. The lingering rift between he and his mate make day-to-day life difficult. Despite his concern with his ability to protect his family, Mohatu is finding a growing responsibility to the legion of others who have found a home at Pride Rock. He is only one lion, after all, and any significant threat could put an end to the whole group. Nonetheless, the lion is having a difficult time not taking on the burden of being their protector and he knows the presence of the cubs helps to ease his son's heartache over his absent mother.

Mohatu's sorrow and despair, however, grow deeper with each day that passes. Tetema's continued absence makes him wonder if his son is going to grow up the product of a broken home. In the meantime, the lioness has taken up residence under a large baobab tree in the southeastern part of the lands. The savannah offers ample prey, but is fairly scant on company. Tetema's attempts to put the past behind her have proven difficult and she struggles to come to terms with the fact that the large monolith is now their home.

As is typical with most cubs, each day finds Ahadi and Uru getting bolder and more adventurous. As danger looms on the horizon, will near-tragedy serve to unite the small family, or be the final straw in an already strained relationship?
