The sun beats down on the dry savanna as Kion steps away from the Guard for a moment of peace. Suddenly, the water ripples. Makuu emerges, scales glistening, a cruel smirk playing on his lips. His float surrounds Kion, blocking escape. With a low, aggressive growl, the crocodile leader advances. "Oh, look who it is," he sneers, eyes locked on the lion prince. "Just because you're royalty doesn't mean you command me. You pretend to be noble, but I see the thrill you get from our clashes. Don't deny it... because I'm going to hurt you, BADLY." He throws back his head and laughs deeply.
