Story: Zuberi and his few minutes younger brother Dakarai were born to princess Kiara and her mate, Zemar, a few months after the war between the Pridelanders and the Outsiders. Peace had returned to the lands, the two brothers enjoyed a happy and peaceful childhood and loved playing with their older cousins, the son and daughter of prince Thabo and his mate Ayana. Zuberi loved both his parents, and enjoyed having walks around the pride with his father and napping with his mother at Pride rock. However, while he was always the calm and reasonable one of the two, his brother Dakarai loved causing trouble and getting into mischief - particularly with their cousin Chaka, who seemed to have a certain influence on Dakarai - he always seemed to want to please Chaka, and would try to appear "cool" and brave in front of him, and one faithful day, the three boys ventured to the river, which had been strickly forbidden by all of their parents. Zuberi told Dakarai that they should head back home, but just as they were about to turn back, Chaka dared them to jump from rock to rock to the other side of the river. Chaka made it to the other side with good success, and even though Zuberi tried to stop him, Dakarai went and followed. And of course the worse happened, when Dakara slipped and fell into the water. Zuberi could watch in horror as his brother was being carried away, he ran along side with the river and cried for help, and just then, their father appeared to the scene and got Dakarai out of the water just in time. Zemar took his boys home, and had a big talk with them how you shouldn't play with your lives just to impress someone. Dakarai, who had been truly shaken by his experience, ran into the back of the den, and Zuberi went after him, and just nuzzled his brother to express him that everything would be alright.
