A Hyena's Tale Ch. 7

The Territory stirred as its occupants walked about, greeting the morning in each others own way. Jasiri's clan still looked rather unsure of sharing their home with Janja's. To be honest, Janja's clan wasn't too keen on the idea either.
One Hyena from said clan, Cheezi, began to drink from the large watering hole. But a Hyena from the other clan approached from behind.
And he did not look happy.
"What do you think you're doing?" He asked the long-tongued Hyena, "You're drinking all the water!"
Cheezi raised his head up to the other Hyena and looked at him with Confusion, "Uh, Wasn't I supposed to say that?"
"Don't get smart with me!" The Interrogating male growled in annoyance, "You think you can come here and drink up our water with that over-sized tongue of yours? This is OUR watering hole! We say when it's your turn!"
Cheezi stood there with water dripping from his mouth, "Uh, Ok." He lowered his head back down to the water and continued drinking. The sound of growling and the feeling of the other Hyena's head brought him back up.
"Perhaps I wasn't clear enough," The Bouncer said aggressively, "It's. Not. Your. Turn!"
"Ah, let him drink."
The Bouncer turned his head to see the Hyena with the large Eyebrows stepping forward, "It's the dry season, and this is the first water we've had for days. Besides, ya don't see us being selfish, do ya?"
This was the final straw for the Bouncer. "You Tramps come in here, waste precious Water from our own Watering hole, and now you insult me? Do you know who I am?"
Nne looked like he was pondering for a moment, but it was clear to everyone he was just trying to egg the Bouncer on, "Uh, no, can't say I know ya."
"I'm Barbatus, you Fur-Brain!" The Bouncer snarled, "I'm Jasiri's second in command. Did you forget she left ME in charge while she goes out to find where Janja went? I say who gets to drink!"
The two Hyenas began circling each other, snarling at one another, until they came head to head, growling defensively as each one tried to ware the other one down. The other Hyenas crowded around, watching the fight with anticipation. They all began to murmur amongst themselves.
"Wow, Janja would love to see this."
"What would Jasiri say?"
"I'm Starvelated."
The grunting and the murmurs were all cut short by another noise. A really, really Loud noise.
A Roar.
Now this wasn't the kind of animal noise they heard regularly. This roar sounded cold, like a Crocodile. But, unlike a Crocodile, it ended with a long hiss.
As they turned their heads, they saw the source of the roar.
Lizards were commonly local to the Outlands, Agamas, Skinks, Etc. But not one of those Lizard looked anything like this one. The reptile was about as large as a Crocodile. The skin was green, scaly, and somewhat baggy. The head looked exactly like a regular Lizards, but much larger. His eyes were a dark brown. 
But there was one trait that separated him from other Lizards.
Where a regular tail would normally be, what looked like a large log carved to look like a tail was swaying back and forth. This animal could only be described as one thing:
A Komodo Dragon.
The Hyenas all back up as the Dragon approached. By the look on his face, he wasn't here to make any threats. He walked up to Barbatus, who Scooted Nne aside.
He didn't know what this Lizard wanted, but he would soon find out.

Jasiri had left the Clan almost an hour ago to find Janja. She had noticed that he wasn't around and decided to make sure he wasn't up to anything. Before she left, She saw that her Sister looked happier than usual. She knew that Tombie must've shown her a good time last night.
As she approached the edge of the Cliffs, she spotted something. Some figures moving in the distance.
She climbed down the trail to the bottom of the canyon and ran in the direction she saw the figures in, hoping for a closer look. She hid behind a rock and spotted the figures.
But these were not animals she wanted to see.
A Lioness was leading twelve other Lionesses behind her, along with One teenage male, and two cubs. Jasiri had seen these Lions before. These Lions once took over her own territory, and what's worse, They were once followers of Scar. And they were going in one direction:
To the Pridelands.
'This isn't good. If they're going to the Pridelands, it can't be for a friendly visit...'
Without a second thought, she ran as fast as she could back to her Turf, Not knowing what was waiting for her
