all these creatures are adapted to the bush in their own special ways
and column are pray for lines
krueger is ruled by two thousand lines each pride with its own distinct
territory
mathilde and kanya
will not be welcome on other lines land they can only keep therefore comes alive
if they stay out these territories from now on
this family must live in the shadows but wherever they go
they will still leave signs behind
them one of the three no matches on their trail along
you can smell their scent if the nomads catch up to them
they will kill the Cubs up
that will bring the timber and kanya back into estrace so they will bear the
nomads
