Shadow of the Oasis - Chapter 15: The end of a long journey

Chuma woke up with the moan of Hakima. His member had slipped out of Hiba over the night but he felt it grow with the scent around and poke at her libido. The male pushed in and earned a moan from Hiba who also just woke up. Chuma opened his eyes during his constant pushes inside Hiba and saw that the cubs suckled on the teats of Hakima. They were hungry and not being used to solid food but getting milk from the lionesses every day they tried to get it from Hakima. Chuma knew that the stimulation of her teats would most likely make her produce milk in the next days but right now the girl did not have milk yet. A look outside showed him that the rain was pouring down hard still and that they could not think about returning anytime soon. He would have to find a way to get some food for the girls. For the moment he however returned his concentration on Hiba under him and pounded her with all the power his old body could produce and made her squirm in pleasure under him. It did not take Chuma long to push his semen inside of the young female and made her cry out in a climax. He roared and filled her to the brim before he pulled out and moved over to Hakima. The cubs stopped their attempts to drink when Hakima directly stood up and presented to Chuma and moved to Hiba. The exhausted lioness did not prevent them from trying to milk her and moaned from the stimulations on her sensible teats. Hakima moaned and chirped as much under Chuma as Hiba before. He felt that he had the kitten in heat under his control completely. With the rain pouring down outside they would not go anywhere soon and Chuma intended to use the time wisely and make sure to breed both females to his heart's content. His thick member pushed in and out while Hakima only moaned and mewled with each push. Chuma felt her orgasm long before he was ready for his climax. The cubs must have stimulated her very much by suckling at her teats. Chuma pushed into the milking tunnel and after a few more minutes he came hard in her womb and filled it so strong that the belly of the girl bulged.

Chuma took the girls in heat three times in turns until they were exhausted and stayed laying on their side even when he urged them to roll over so that he could pound them. Chuma was not yet satisfied and called in the cubs to lick him. When he watched them lick around his member, they were too afraid to oppose him after what happened the last night, he got an idea. He told Tuni to suckle on his member which the cub did reluctantly. He saw that she still did not like the taste but did not want to show it in fear he would hurt her. It did not take long for Chuma to come with the two other girls licking his balls and Tuni sucking at his tip. He held the head of Tuni and told her to gulp everything down. He saw the small cub gulp hastily while he sprayed a lot of his spunk inside her little muzzle. He switched the cubs and had Sauti and later Malia suck him off for one of his loads. If Hiba and Hakima would not give milk to the cubs he intended to feed them his milk. He knew that for the long run this would not be enough but for now it would at least keep their bellies filled and get them over the next days. The adult females were not yet ready for the next turn and Chuma got the cubs to suck him one more time and feed on his rich semen. After they were clearly full with the spunk he turned around Tuni and pounded her pussy mercilessly. The girl cried like at the day before but not as loud and long. She slowly got used to the stretching of her tunnel by his member and the intrusion into her womb. After a few minutes Chuma lowered his pace and when he came hard in her womb she emitted a small moan before the pressure inside and his barbed member that pulled out made her groan again. Sauti was not much different than Tuni when Chuma mounted her. She cried and groaned until his climax made her moan once until he pulled out. Malia sure was his favorite of the cubs by now. Not only was she the one sucking him off most willingly but he stretched her far enough the previous night that he could enter her without problem. She only groaned a bit and he went very slow and careful with the cub. He pushed in and out with long strokes and after a few minutes he heard the groans of Malia turn into silent moans. He bent his head down and licked over her face, cleaning her eyes from the traces of tears that she shed at the start. The girl was soft and willing like her mother had been when she was just a few months older. But Malia did something her mother did not do until her first heat already. She gave Chuma her virginity and let him take her again and again. Not that Chuma had the illusion that any of the cubs were doing this voluntarily but that Malia gave in much faster and stronger than her sisters made her his favorite. He felt her tight tunnel juice up a bit and soon he added his spunk. He pulled out carefully and let her belly deflate before he pushed in again and took Malia for a second round. The cub was exhausted but she emitted more moans than groans at this time. Chuma took a deep breath taking in the intoxicating smell of two females in heat and pushed into Malia extra strong until his dam broke again and filled Malia for the second time this morning. He waited with his member pressed to the hilt into the cub. He listened to the moans that turned in uncomfortable mewls when he poked into the walls of her womb and to groans when the pressure rose inside her. Chuma stayed like this connected with the cub, spurting splash after splash of his thick cum into her while her belly bulged more with each second. She mewled because the stretching began to feal uncomfortable but Chuma held her in position, sealed by his thick member, and pushed her full of his seed. He felt the energy of Malia depleting and his last spurts emptying into her belly. She looked like she ate another cub so big was her belly and when she started to cry again Chuma finally controlled his urges and pulled out letting a flood of cum gush out of his little mate. After Chuma cleaned up Malia and put her to sleep with her sisters he approached Hakima and Hiba again. They woke up at the end of his act with Malia and now he was going to tend to their heat. Soon both females mewled in turns under him and he made sure that their bellies swelled from his cum to ensure they were thoroughly bred.

The rain did not let up in the evening and Chuma sent Hakima and Hiba out to hunt while he watched the cubs. The scent in the den and his growing need made him give the cubs more of his 'milk' and take them each once. The cubs slowly came around and their insides stretched to customize for his dick. The adult female came back to the den a few hours later. In the rain it had been hard to track any prey but they managed to catch one small okapi and Chuma helped them to dry their fur before he shared the meal with them. While the adults were eating the cubs tried again to get some milk from Hakima and Hiba but their bodies were not yet ready to produce milk. They moaned from the suckles but the cubs could not get any food out of them. In the end Malia turned to the dick of Chuma, the only food source she knew here, and started to suck him off voluntarily. Chuma did not complain and let her do as she pleased. She drank one full doze and while the adult females still were eating Chuma pushed into her pussy again and reached another climax. He was surprised how fast Malia got used to his thickness and length. She did only groan a bit during the act and started to moan in the middle. He was sure that the cub would become a fine female one day that would make her male happy. Sauti and Tuni were more hesitant. They did not approach Chuma for another few hours and he settled with the females in heat and took them until they were exhausted and lay down to sleep. Finally, the hunger of Sauti seemed to take the better of her and she approached Chuma shyly and licked over his member. He let her go at her own pace while he lay on the side watching the cub who was giving him muzzle. The girl started to suckle on his tip and soon he felt his balls clenching and fill her mouth with the rich liquid that at least made her feel less hungry. Chuma got up and mounted the girl that was still licking the traces off her lips. She was tighter than Malia and groaned the whole act until he came hard in her pussy and pulled out.

"From now on, if one of you wants to drink you will present for me with your tail high afterwards." He stated and looked at Tuni who still ran around in circles on the other side of the den. He knew that the cub did not like the taste but he also heard the growling of her stomach. While Malia and Sauti settled for the night Chuma lay on his side giving Tuni the best vision on his half erect member. She settled in with her sisters but Chuma, who observed her, noticed that she was unable to sleep because of her hunger. It took her one more hour until she finally gave in to the feeling inside her stomach and approached Chuma. He smiled and looked at the cub that silently licked over the tip of his sheath. His member had retreated into the poach while he was waiting but now poked out very quickly. "Go ahead." He encouraged the cub. "There is enough for you to satisfy this hunger." The cub finally was not able to resist and started to suckle on his tip. He felt the greedy licks and slurps of Tuni until he felt the contractions of his balls and flooded her little muzzle. She gasped and coughed and with a sneeze some cum exited through her nose but she gulped down the load with a facial expression between satisfaction and disgust. She really had starved and she did not stop with his first load. She continued to suckle until he had a second load for her small belly and she retreated half way making his member spray his semen all over her head and body. Tuni turned around and wanted to settle down with her sisters again.

"Are you not forgetting something?" Chuma asked with a chuckle and after Tuni looked back at his smirking face she retreated backwards. "Are you sure you do not want to thank me for the meal? I might not let you have more again tomorrow." Chuma knew that he would never let the cubs starve if he could help it. No matter how much he hated their mother right now he still felt obliged to protect them. But the threat was enough for Tuni to turn around and raise her tail to give him full access to mount her. He started with licks over her pussy until she produced a bit of liquid and moaned before he moved over her and pushed his dick inside her. Tuni directly started to groan again and Chuma established a low pace. The girl was the tightest of the three and even though Chuma forced himself on the cub he controlled himself to make it as pleasurable for Tuni as possible. Towards the end, when her tunnel got used to the stretching, she even emitted a very faint moan while he started to spurt into her. Like with Malia the day before he rolled to the side taking the girl with him and stayed deep inside her snatch. His member was only inside her with three fourth of the lengths and it poked against the back of her womb already. "See, was not that bad, was it?" he whispered and licked over the face of Tuni. He eased a bit on his pressure and pulled his tip back so that it was sitting in the middle of her womb not pressing against the walls of her sanctum. Tuni relaxed a bit and Chuma cleaned her face from the tears that formed over their act. He then pulled her close to his own belly with his paw and curled around her while his member twitched inside her womb with his last spurts. After a discontent gaze towards Chuma, Tuni closed her eyes and gave herself into her fate. She was exhausted and tired and with a low groan when he shifted inside her she fell asleep soon after. "Good night little princess." Chuma whispered and also closed his eyes. When his member went soft a bit later he slipped out of the girl without waking up.

The next day was similar to the last one. The rain still was strong and Chuma wondered if it would end anytime soon. He distracted himself with giving the cubs his 'milk' and mating the adult lionesses. He kept the actions with the cubs to a minimum. One reason was that the adult females gained a bit more endurance and held out longer. The other reason was that he started to feel a bit guilty for having his ways with the small cubs. It did not stop him to train them and take them every time he allowed them to drink his spunk. By now the cubs came by themselves. Because he was the only source of food for them at the moment. They still tried to get milk from the females every now and then but it would still take a few days until their sisters would be ready to give milk.

The fourth day finally started with the rain having stopped. Chuma let the girls drink their fill from his spunk and after receiving his 'payment' for feeding them he took Hakima and Hiba once each before he decided that they should leave the den. Outside he looked right and left. He knew that right was the way home but he hesitated. With what he had done there was no way Harbuu and Kundaa would let him off easy. Should he tell the girls how to get home and finally leave this territory?

A look at Hiba who cleaned herself showing her heated pussy off to him made him decide. He would not return. He had a good head start and most likely the pride was thinking he would return after the rain. It would take at least half a day until they started to send a searching party and they would have a hard time to get a trail of them. They basically would have to stumble over the cave by accident because they walked here through the river and the rain should have washed away all their scent from their path. Chuma discovered that this was the biggest chance he had to steal away the princesses and get his own small pride again. He looked at the cubs that were a bit more energetic today. They got used to him mating them and he also was more careful and soft while entering them now this morning. They would be able to walk with them for some time and if they got tired they could carry them again.

While he pounded for a minute over his next actions Hiba closed in and ran her body against his in an affection. This was enough for him to decide on the instant that he would not give back these girls but run away with them. He did not mention it to them. He just turned left, away from his old home, and the girls followed him. They did not make much progress. Every hour Chuma took the kitten in heat that were crazy in need and even if their heat was at its end they were antsy and eager to have him mate them. At noon he fed the cubs again and after he got one round with each of the small girls he, Hakima and Hiba picked them up and carried them for a few hours while the cubs slept. Chuma followed the drops from Malia's snatch with his eyes while he was carrying the cub. She slept and his spunk dropped out of her folds now that she relaxed. At the evening they were at the border of the territory already. Chuma knew that going the normal ways they were 2 days away from the den. He did not think about the rest of the pride. He just thought about the present and the future of his small group of girls. He fell asleep with his member deep inside Hakima while the cubs cuddled with Hiba for the sleep. None of the girls ever asked if they were on the right way. The cubs were too exhausted and occupied by following the adults and the two kittens in heat had no other thought than having Chuma on top of them whenever he decided to take a break.

In the next days the heat of the adult females fainted until it was gone completely. It did not stop Chuma to take them a few times a day just to fulfil his horny desires. He also still mated the cubs whenever they drank his sperm and they got used to take the big male into their pussies. They learned to follow his requests. None of them knew where they were and they depended on Chuma to lead them. By the time they arrived at the edge of the oasis and the forest gave way to the savanna they noticed that it was not the way home but they did not ask or mention it. By this time Chuma already had control over them and they submitted to him. Hakima and Hiba finally started to produce a bit of milk and the cubs now greedily suckled on the teats of one of the females instead of getting their breakfast from Chuma. Only once a day he requested from them to suck him off and present to him afterwards but with the days passing by it got less and less so that he only took one of the cubs each day after two weeks. Chuma did not have a real goal. He just went from one water hole to the next enjoying his females every day and hunting with Hakima and Hiba. The belly of the adult females grew bigger and when the first month passed they showed their big bellies proud. The speed of their journey got slower. One reason was that they had to hunt more food and that they moved from water hole to water hole but the second reason was that Hakima and Hiba were exhausted faster with their extra weight and Chuma who mounted them every day for his own pleasure. The three cubs grew a bit bigger and they did not even groan anymore when he took one of them. Their insides were stretched out enough to easily take his dick and they even gained small orgasms every now and then during the mating. Chuma on the other hand started to feel his age stronger with each day. It was not the mating every day that tired him out but the heat and that his joints hurt more every day. He did not tell the females but he felt that he would not be able to walk around and protect them for a long time.

Another month passed by and Hakima and Hiba carried a big weight with them now. Their bellies bulged down strongly and they were only able to walk for half a day before they needed a rest. They had not seen any other lion and Chuma was sure that Harbuu and Kundaa gave up on the pursuit. He was not even sure if they did find their tacks and followed them. He was sure though that if they did they most likely stopped at the edge of the oasis. It was too much risk for them to leave the pride for just two adults and three cubs. Even if they were the princesses. The cubs grew strongly and reminded Chuma of Sanura when she had been 6 months old. The cubs were a bit bigger but looked just like his baby girl back then. The girls were very obedient and he trained them good. Whenever he requested them to suck him off they did not hesitate anymore. Even Tuni showed joy while sucking him off but if this was just show or if she grew to like the taste he could not say. They started to eat meat with the adults but still also drank milk from Hakima and Hiba. His bones hurt every day now and Chuma stopped for breaks more often. He said that it was for the sake of Hakima and Hiba but in reality he himself needed to rest. He was not sure how long he would be able to walk through the savanna. He left all the hunting to the adult females by now.

One day when they arrived at a water hole they saw other lions for the first time in a while. Three male lions stood next to the water hole next to a female that lay on the side watching them argue. Chuma was too tired to avoid them and therefore just steered to the group. When he got closer his old eyes widened when he discovered that he knew two of the males. Both were as big and strong as he had been in the past and their fur was black for one lion and dark for the other. "Kafil? Badu?" he shouted when he stopped twenty steps away and the males stopped with their argument. "Dad?!" the dark lion approached Chuma and the girls while he gave a signal to them to get a drink from the water hole. The other two male lions followed him while the female stayed at her spot and looked at the intruders.

"Is this really you, dad? What are you doing here?" The panther closed in and like his brother and greeted his father with a nudge. "You look old." He added. "That I am son." Chuma sighed and looked at the third male. He had a red mane and dark fur, but not as dark as Kafil. His brown eyes looked kind and Chuma estimated his age around 3 or 4. His sons were now a bit over six years old and in the best of their years. All three lions looked strong and handsome, ready to take over a pride.

"This is Asany!" explained Kafil that followed the gaze of Chuma. "And the girl behind us is Femi. She just joined us a few days ago." Chuma closed in to greet the cream colored lioness. When he closed in he noticed her scent and knew that she was fresh in heat. After a few words with the shy female he returned to the males who watched him carefully. "Did you argue because of her heat?" he wanted to know and Asany gasped. "How...?" Chuma chuckled. "I got a nose son." He remarked and Kafil joined in his laughter. "We still train him." He explained. "Asany joined us a few weeks ago. By the way dad. We have to thank you. Your training was great. We were much better prepared than most males we encountered." Chuma smiled over the praise of his son. "So, were you in discussion about her heat?" he asked again and this time Badu answered. "Yes, we were trying to figure out who should take her first time. Kafil called dibs but we also want to mate with her first and this is how we got into the discussion." - "So you do not have any order yet in your group?" Chuma asked. "Well, Kafil is the leader and tells us where we go but when it gets to food we all have the same rights. We never had a female with us before so we need to figure this out."

Chuma chuckled. He was sure that this was something like a fight for ranks that was going on in this group of males. He was surprised that they kept so calm and did not fight. It showed that the males had a strong bond with each other. "May I make an purposal for you?" Chuma asked after he pondered for a while. The three males looked up to the old male. "You see, my life was long and you have just started. I think it will not take long until I will not be able to protect my girls there. How about a trade." The other males looked at him with stern faces. "What... do you mean with trade?" asked Kafil.

"I will give you my five girls there and information that will help you to take over a big pride." Chuma explained. "In return you promise me to take good care of my cubs and you... will let me take Femi through her first heat. You will get all six females in this trade." Chuma saw that the boys were not happy about getting their young female snatched away, even if it was just for her first heat. They all planned to place their own cubs into her. "Would this not end your quarrel over the right to take her first heat? And wouldn't you win a lot more with a full pride of many females?" Chuma tried to sell his idea to his sons and Asany. They still seemed to be against this deal but whispered with each other. "Oh and you can seal the deal with having something special to mate. They are good trained and you will like it." Chuma added and called for the cubs. "Malia, Sauti, Tuni? Show these fine males how good you are trained." He requested and they knew what he meant. They were hesitant but started to approach the males and lick their pouch. A few minutes later the males were moaning from the slurps around their now hard penises while the cubs suckled on them until they reached their climax and shot their spunk inside the muzzles. The cubs pulled off the dicks and turned around presenting for the males. "Well? What do you say? They really feel wonderful." Chuma beckoned the other males. "Sounds not too bad." Said Kafil who was in trance from the feeling he just received and the view of the well-used cunt in front of him. He lowered his muzzle and started to lick over the hind of the girl until juice started to leak out of her pussy. The two other young males also decided to give in and lick their girls. When all three mounted up with a moan from them and the cubs Chuma turned around and walked to Femi.

"Hello Femi." He greeted her and the lioness shyly moved her eyes away from the weird actions of her males, that she only was able to see half, to the old male. "I am Chuma, the father of Kafil and Badu. They said I should comfort you while they are enjoying a little present of mine." Chuma chuckled and looked over his shoulder. From this angle, it was not possible to see the cubs or see exactly what they were doing. The female was oblivious of the meaning of his words and inexperienced. Her innocence showed with her shy smile and the way she just stretched and looked up to him when Chuma closed in and licked over her face. Chuma started to clean her and ran his tongue over her body until he reached the rump. Her strong smell was clearly the scent of a fresh heat and Chuma inhaled the scent with a long breath. When he ran his tongue over her spade she moaned but also winced and jumped on her paws. "What are you doing?" she asked and he saw shock in her eyes. She did not understand what he was after and she felt most likely that she belonged to the young m ales. "Relax. I got the agreement of the other three. I will just... break you in." he exclaimed softly and with his last words he bit down in her neck making her moan from the endorphins traveling through her body. Chuma did not wait for her to recover from the shock and mounted her. His member got caught in the wet libido of the young female and he pushed in. He felt his member breaking through her hymen proving that she had been a virgin before and when her cry from the pain got into his ears he already felt his penis push against her cervix.

The tight and wet tunnel clamped in pain around his member but this stimulated Chuma in addition to the smell. He pulled back and earned another cry from the girl making her clamp unwillingly at the scratching barbs inside her. Chuma slowly pulled back and pushed in and increased his pace every few minutes. The girl soon changed her groans into moans and mewls. She came around quite easily and Chuma felt her pussy slurp wet around him and his balls being soaked in her fem juice. Like with Hakima and Hiba two months ago the girl was so strong in heat that the pleasure and need blocked all the pain and her tunnel soon clenched in pleasure and her beginning orgasm. She reached her climax at the same time Chuma pushed in to the hilt, smacking his balls against her clit, and broke her cervix. While his semen spurted on strong splashes into her womb her inside milked his member from everything he had to give. After his last spurt he pulled out and evaded her strike. He watched her roll around on the ground and give in to her desire and the heat. Chuma licked her pussy and prolonged her orgasm until he urged her to stand up again and he mounted the young girl a second time. Chuma did not see when the three youngsters exhausted the three girls and moved over to Hakima and Hiba. They took the pregnant females in turns while Chuma pumped into Femi again and again. She just moaned under him and felt her belly swell up nearly as big as the belly of the pregnant girls and then empty when Chuma pulled out for a minute before he pounded inside her again. Chuma did not let up even when she sank to the ground exhausted. She was his price, his maybe last female, and he was not going to miss any second of his time with her. When the sun settled Chuma pushed in to the hilt in the already sleeping girl under him and put his head next to hers. She was lying on the ground but Chuma had pumped into her one more time and now filled her inner chamber. When he looked towards the other felines a last time before closing his eyes he saw that they were cuddled together and sleeping as well. He moaned when he spurted a last time for the day inside of Femi and then closed his eyes for the night.

Chuma did not regard the other lions much in the next days and only concentrated on mating with Femi. She came around quickly and her heat made her present to him whenever he took a one-minute-break. The girl seemed not to care that he was a total stranger to her and they just met. His experience and skill made her squirm under him and with each day she gained more endurance. The three young males were motivated by the scent of Femi and watching their act and ran around horny all day. Most of the time they vent their sexual frustration with the cubs first and then moved on to Hakima and Hiba when the cubs were exhausted. The half-brothers even grouped up on Asany and forced themselves into his back end and his muzzle at the same time when all females were exhausted. For Chuma it was like a memory of the coronation of Sanura. Femi was even a bit smaller than the queen but she had a soft character and totally submitted to him while her heat controlled her. Sleeping, eating, he did everything while being balls deep in the young female. The longest time he exited her was when the moved to a nearby water hole to drink. After they were refreshed he humped her directly at the water hole and their moans and roars continued.

Chuma mounted Femi all day long for over a week. Her heat had ended half way through already but he still took her any time she was awake. Her moans had turned into groans because without the heat her numb and sore tunnel felt uncomfortable with his entry but Chuma did not care until he exhausted his energy and felt his own sore member after nine days. This had been his longest copulation with one female in his whole life and he took pride that in his old days he still was capable of this record. They joined the other lions again and Chuma started to tell the youngsters about all the hidden hideouts he knew in the territory, the secret paths and the strengths and weaknesses of Harbuu's and Kundaa's reign.

"You need to lure Sanura away and make her submit to you. With her under your control the rest of the females will follow you." Chuma remembered how he was dethroned by this strategy even though it had been Sanura plotting it the last time. They planned out that Hakima and Hiba should lure their mother away after they had received their litter. Then the male would surround the queen and make her submit in one of the hideouts. When the current rulers of the pride would come to protect their queen they would overpower them in numbers and strength and send them away while they would return to the pride with all their females. The boys trained for subduing Sanura a lot and most of the time Femi was to play the victim queen and had to accept the three males on top of her. All the females were taken over by the youngsters but Chuma did not mind. He was eager to plan his revenge against Harbuu and Kundaa even though he would not see it. He marveled in the thought of how they would be defeated and to see Sanura being stripped of her high role and degraded to their toy for taking over the pride. Chuma even considered that she would soon get into heat again because with the cubs gone her circle would be enhanced and she would get ready before the time she normally would.

One week later the three males took off with all the females leading them back to the oasis. Chuma bid his farwell to all of them. Even though he had forced them into submission when he started his journey and when he took Femi for the first time all females were very emotional when they parted from him. They cuddled their heads against him and a few tears ran down. His sons also looked sad that he did not want to go with them.

Chuma felt that his body was getting to his limits. His bones and joints hurt more every day and even when he was walking just a few minutes he got out of breath. He did not want his pride to see him in this state and he also did not want to slow down the others. The change, that his endurance dropped, had started in the last week very suddenly. Chuma looked after the group of lions when they moved over the savanna while lying near the water hole. His journey was at its end. He had lived a life of many exciting adventures since he left his pride as a youngster. At a very early stage he rescued the cubs that later would become his wives and found the best territory in the world with his new formed pride. He had wonderful kids and it made him proud to see how much Kafil and Badu had grown and that they said that his preparation for their own journey had been good. He did not know if he was the best father, even more considering what he did to his own daughters, but if being a parent meant to prepare their children for their own life, he was sure he did a good job. He prepared them. He nurtured them. He taught them all they needed to know for the life in the wild and he guided his oldest sons home with a big chance to take over a pride as big as you would rarely see. How many other lions could say that they ever mated with a leopard or a cheetah and he did both. His life began to pass by in front of his eyes. It had been a good life. Even the last years, where he had to submit to the new kings and grew older, had not been too bad. He still had adventures of other kind and learned a lot about the territory which came in handy for his sons now. He closed his eyes while he still saw fragments of his life flash in front of his eyes. How he snuck away the princesses just a bit over two months ago. How he made them submit and led them away and finally reaching here and his week-long activity with Femi. And the end of his journey here, with breaking his record of constant mating with a lioness in heat he just met, was a good end. He could be proud about his work in life. All guilt that he felt before about his actions, about forcing his own cubs or the small cubs of Sanura to submit to his horny desires vanished in the whole mix of his memories. He took a deep breath when in his mind, with his eyes closed, he saw the group of lions vanish in the sunset. Kafil, Badu and Asany leading the girls, Hakima, Hiba and Femi, who each carried one of the cubs. Hakima and Hiba with their big bellies and the small Femi with her slim and agile body. They turned around once shouting something to Chuma. He could not hear it because they were too far away already. The sun went down and It went dark. He could not see them anymore but he knew they were there. His seeds and those who carried his last present to this world were moving on and it would be them living the continuation of his tale.

THE END
