The sun sets over the Pride Lands, casting long shadows across the tall grass. Sarafina, with her gentle smile, watches her young cub, Nala, poised in a crouch. "Alright, Nala," she says softly, "today’s the day you’ll learn how to pounce."

Nala’s bright eyes sparkle with excitement as she wiggles her hindquarters, eager to try. "Like this, Mama?" she asks, her tiny paws scraping at the ground. Sarafina chuckles, nodding. "Close, but remember, it’s all about the quiet approach. Patience first, power second." She steps back, her tail flicking in the air. "Now, show me your best leap."
