After falling into the water and barely reaching the surface, Thabo had little to no strength to struggle against the strong current, which kept smashing him into large, sharp rocks one after another. Finally, after hitting his head into one big rock, the prince fell unconscious, and the current carried him further and further from the Pride lands.
Eventually, as the river's rapids changed into a calmer and quieter stream, he was washed along the shore - badly injured and bruised. All alone, the prince just laid there, waiting for help, which didn't seem to be on it's way anytime soon... or was it?
