With a quick sigh of thankfullness for the interuption Malaika got up with a stern look and raced over to the lions side.

"We must get this poor creature out of the sun. There should be a waterhole to the south of here. It's a few hours walk but we must make haste."

With all his strength Malaika lifted the lion onto his back and lokoed back at the other two.

"I need you two to fallow closely and make sure no one will try to ambush us. This may be a trap but I'm not going to let anyone die. I've seen to many die. Lets move."
