No one should be surprised that I have another drawing featuring Elewisa. As he is my favorite character lol. My past few featured Khanny, and so this was absolutely necessary. This scene is the departure of Areesa with her older half brother Anan Dejen. Also, peek Kovu in the background.

A few months ago he had sworn to never shed an undeserved tear, but now he silently sobbed as he buried his head into the lioness�s neck. �You promised me you�d never go away.� He managed to mumble through the sobs. Areesa was no better- her tears larger and bluer than his. �I�ll come back to visit- whenever I can.� She whispered to only him. Above the two cubs stood the older lions. Elewisa could feel his father�s claws digging into his fur, until a stinging sensation began to spread through his tail letting him know that his father had drawn blood. Still, Elewisa refused to move, glued to the spot. If he didn�t move, then Anan Dejen couldn�t take Areesa away from him.
�That�s enough, Elewisa. You�ve said your goodbyes.� El wanted nothing more than to snarl at his father. Of course this wasn�t enough! Areesa was the only one who understood him, how could he so easily be expected to let her go?
�I�ll find you.� He spoke low, so that only she would hear him. Areesa nodded in response, eyes still shining with tears.

The background was blah. It was supposed to look foggy, and I did recycle Anan Dejen�s profile picture because I thought it fit well in this scene.
I hope you like this Priya ^.^ I wanted to draw these two as youngsters and baby Areesa is the most adorable thing <333
