My but the pride had been busy as of late; there always seemed to be something going on and it had given her considerable cause for concern. To begin with she had thought that her visions would cripple her, yet as time had gone on and she'd grown accustomed to the lions within the borders, she realised that not a single one was destined to harm them.
