Description

King Khalfani surveys his kingdom in the Northern Desert. He is hopeful that the oncoming clouds are a sign that the thirsty lands will finally have the much-desired rain they need. His queen Batini is finally with cub and the drought looks to be at an end. Will his pride be able to rest easy for once?

Alas... a different fate awaited them when their desert home could no longer provide. When his daughter, his princess, is born in the Pridelands, Khalfani names her Sarabi - "mirage" - to remind her of where she comes from, and because the circumstances surrounding her birth, including Sarabi herself, seem too good to be true at first. Khalfani's family may finally have the good turn of fate they've been longing for.

I don't normally do gifts (because of lack of time, mostly :( ) but this is dedicated to my good friend PurpleInk777 who will be leaving DA (for personal reasons). :sniff: If any of you would like to give a little shoutout to her (even if you don't know her), here is the place to do it. :)

I'm SO thankful for our friendship, Tracey, and that we can stay in touch in your absence from here! :aww: I'll miss your thoughtful, colorful comments and words of wisdom. And I'll miss your comments particularly on "Brothers". I'm so happy that my work touched you so much! :happycry: And you are just one of many great friends I've made through my original comic "Betrothed" that I dedicated to Simbamarasa. It was an unexpected result of that work, and I thank you for being a reader, a fan, and a friend. :handshake: Take care, my friend! God Bless
