(i can't leave you guys to hang on that cliff hanger, so imma do a double comment :D )

Akurle sunk her claws in the dirt and stared in horror at the body of the white and brown goat that used to be Prowlers best freind. When she looked up, everyone was staring at Akurle. Storm seemed even more furious, as well as scared. The three cubs were staring at her with pure horror and had shrunk themselves into a furry little ball. Prowler looked as furious as ever.... but in her eyes was a bit of relief.

"A m-m-magikin! Mommy! Don't let them h-h-hurt us!!" The creamy white female cub whimpered.

"Kiki, shush." Prowler held her paw to the cubs mouth, who apparently was named Kiki. She had turned to face Storm again and didn't take her eyes off the giant rhino in front of her.

"A magikin... oh Prowler, look how terrified your kids are! This is what you are protecting the world from if you stay with us... along with your children." Storm added a much more sinister tone to the last sentence. He turned back to the lioness as if Akurle was no longer there. She decided not to say anything and listened to what was going on.

"Storm. For the last time, I am not going to keep trapping magikins for you and your strange reasons. Besides, its only making things worse, and if I happen to get stuck in a magikins claws, who will take care of my babies?" Prowler said. Akurle could now see the soft side of Prowler. She may have been stone hard on the outside, but she had a deep love for her cubs.

"Prowler, really. The Powered are the ones who killed your husband! Do you want that to happen again to one of your precious children?" Storm asked, tilting his head in a way that was not   at all  comforting, but sinister.

"Stop!" Prolwer yelled, shaking her head. "The magikins aren't the ones that are out to get me! YOU are!" Akurle nearly jumped out of her scales from the ferocity of her words. What in all of Jamaa was that lion talking about? Akurle thought.

The powerful lion let the words sink in before continuing. "The magikins aren't threatening my children, you are. You are the one who keeps telling me that if I don't continue working for you, you will hurt the family that I have left. You don't care how many jammers you have to kill to get me to work for you. You already killed Joey and you won't hesitate to do it again." Prowler had her teeth bared and claws extended.

Storm was looking at her with an expression of amusement and interest. He didn't seem to care about anything she said, and it looked as if he thought she was joking.

"Now now, Prowler. That was the Gorverners rules, not mine! But trust me, you are doing your children a great favor by eliminating the ones who thirst for the destruction of your family. And if not your family, probably someone else's. They are a threat to everyone and everything we have. Besides, they killed your father, and now you have no choice but to work for us before they kill another member of your family." The rhino looked as if he was about to continue, but Prolwer let out a huge gasp.

"No! No no no no no no... NO. HOW DARE YOU!" Prowler suddenly yelled. Akurle was truely confused at what she was talking about. "It was YOU!. The magikins never touched him.. YOU KILLED HIM. It all makes sense... The only way you could get me to work for you was to kill the one I cared about most, leaving my children exposed and myself defenseless. HOW COULD YOU!!" Prowler roared. Her tail lashed behind her, nearly smacking her cubs.

Storm chuckled. "Oh, Prowler. I'm surprised at how quick you found out. But, to be honest, it was for the best. You never cared about anyone else as llong as you had your husband by your side. Nothing mattered when he was there... I did you a favor, Prowler. You silly lion, you should be thanking me." The rhino let out another chuckle.

"STOP." Prowler had tears in her eyes now. "Just... stop. Stop acting like this is just some big joke to you! Its not! Storm... the magikins aren't what you think they are. You've been convincing yourself that they are bad so many times that now you believe it. It's not true! This magikin right here.." Prolwer pointed to Akurle. "...she welcomed me in with open arms when no one else would. She promised she would protect me and my family, unlike you who FORCED me to join you or else you would hurt my loved ones! Storm, you're just as bad as you think the magikins are!" Prowler yelled.

Akurle was surprised. By the look on Storm's face, she obviously hadn't told him that yet. Not only that, but her cubs stared at Akurle as if they expected her to agree. In response, Akurle nodded.

"It's true. To be honest though, I didn't think she listened." Akurle smiled.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Storm flinched and stared at Prowler with an outraged expression. Akurle expected his eye to start twitching as he spoke. "PROWLER. You listened to HER? You... no. It's a spell. Prowler, snap out of it! You're in a trance! Shes hypnotizing you!" He snapped.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Akurle laughed. "If I could hypnotize, I would have made you let her do what she wants and make you walk all the way back to the arena." She said.
