Omari entered the forest. Some trees and places still burnt, but the fire was slowly extinguished by the rain. Omari searched and called Ruko, however without results. In the end he reached the place, where saw him for the last time. And he found Ruko, but unfortunately he was dead... Omari was in shock, he couldn't believe it. He didn't understand, why Ruko had died. Why he didn't call him, didn't call for help? He went up closer. He saw that Ruko had a broken paw. It was open fracture, bone punctured the skin.


Ruko broke his paw during the fall. The pain was unbearable. He knew that he couldn't get out, he wasn't able to jump over the tree. He couldn't ask his son for help. He knew that everyone would die then. He couldn't afford it, Omari is an only heir. Or Omari would have to stand before a difficult choice - rescue his father or the old lioness.
Ruko decided that he would sacrifice his life. Therefore lied to his son that he couldn't come back for him.
