In the beginning, it was just Kazi and Triple. They left their shared pride together at a young age. They traveled as nomads for many months before settling down with PeachTree and his pride, Durban. They were quickly recognized to be some of the strongest, most faithful, and most skilled huntresses of the pride. They moved up the ranks quickly. Soon they were at the top. They were the head huntresses. Everyone respected them. They had young lionesses looking up to them; wanting to be them when they grow older. Fast forward a few years and there was a new male on the block. Batu Khan was his name and Kazi fell deeply in love with him. She knew it wasn't right, but she couldn't help herself. Triple was having the same problem, but with a different man. Florida was his name. He was a handsome Primal from the pride over the border and she couldn't help herself. Like Kazi, they both fell pregnant with these males' cubs. Kazi with Kazi II and Triple with Blossom. Kazi wasn't able to make it through giving birth. It had proved to be too much on her body, and she couldn't take it. Triple resented Batu Khan. Even now she still does, even though she has grown wise in her years and she knows that not even the smartest snake could have known what would happen to her.
After Kazi's death, Methoastake was chosen to take over Kazi's place as Head Huntress alongside Triple Freckle. There was some question as to Meth's ability to fill the high standards that Kazi had left behind. Kazi had a huge impact on the pride as a whole. Triple was never the same after Kazi's death. Kazi had been through everything and came back but apparently giving birth was too much for her. It was lucky that Triple had just given birth a couple of days before so she was able to take care of Kazi's baby, Kazi II. The bond that Kazi and Triple had together, not everyone understood. It was strange. They were so close, you would believe that they were sisters, but then they would fight and yell and it would be a day or two before you saw them together again. When Meth took over Kazi's place, Triple put a lot on Methostake's plate. It wasn't Triple's intention to put such a burden on Methoastake, it just was the result of how Triple felt. It was not easy for Triple when Kazi passed. They were like sisters to each other and nothing would ever change that, even death.
Triple and Methoastake have grown closer over the years. Through battle and hunting, to helping watch the cubs when the brood mothers need help. It has been a struggle for Triple, letting someone get close to her again, just doesn't seem right. She is dreading and awaiting the day that she finally gets to leave this place and be with Kazi again. She dreads this coming day because she will be leaving behind a broken Methoastake. She knows Meth has seen many of her friends die, but she knows that her death will take a toll on Methoastake. She is awaiting it because she will finally get to see her best friend again. It has been far too long since she has seen Kazi.
Meth's Age- 14 yr, 2 mn
Triple's Age-15 yr, 0 mn
Triple is starting to realize it won't be long now. She has tried to warn Methoastake, but Meth will not listen. Triple knows that it is just instinct to say that Triple will live forever, but she knows first-hand that is not true.
Triple Freckle greeted you happily as you approached. Then, she idly said she had this neat story from yesterday, but maybe you don't care enough to hear about it. Because you didn't want to listen to her yesterday. Because you were busy with other pride mates. No, it's okay, she understands. She's not as important as them. She's sitting very close now. Uh. Upon your arrival, Triple Freckle scurries to you and pushes her back and behind against your chin to make you notice her more. There seem to be hopeful sparkles in her eyes.
Roaring your name, Triple Freckle approaches you asking why didn't you come earlier, she's been waiting the whole morning!
