"Hardly," the dark lioness answered with a good-natured chuckle. It was entertaining, an enlightening, to see the newcomer's reaction to a feature she was so used to. It was a pretty spot - beautiful, even - but familiarity had dulled the magic it might otherwise have held for her. "It may be at the fringes of our territory, but it's a well-known landmark nonetheless. You'd be hard-pressed to find anything truly undiscovered on pridal lands, as long as they've been occuppied."
"Hm, no, this is the only waterfall. Our territory's mostly savannah, with a few hilly spots and patches of forests here and there for variety." Pride Rock, of course, went without saying. "The rest of the really 'interesting' things are past the borders, to the north: the gorge and the Elephant Graveyard."

Magomvi's excitement was impossible to miss, and elicited another chuckle from the Scout. He reminded her of a cub in that moment; the pride's cubs were, of course, always intrigued by the forbidden lands to the northeast, but everyone was careful to keep them from straying that way, as they would surely become food or slaves. "It's just always been there, as far as anyone knows," she answered with a shrug, before shaking her head. "A pack of hyenas lives there. There used to be a few lions, too, but for years now it's just been the hyenas...and anyone unfortunate enough to be taken as their slave, if the stories are true."
"There was a war with them, years ago. It's how the King's grandfather was injured. There were deaths, too. It was horrible." A fact which made the Graveyard considerably less exciting for the adults of the pride, especially those of them who'd been alive at the time.

"The ones we share our border with are," Amavasya remarked with a sigh. "I should hope it's not true of all hyenas, but I can't say I've had experience with any others." It wasn't unheard of for non-lions to call the Pridelands home, and there were a handful of hybrids in the massive pride, but no hyenas so far as she knew. Would the King or Council be willing to allow it? She couldn't say, nor could she say how she felt about either potential answer. She'd come away from the conflict little worse for wear, but...
"Skirmishes here and there, but nothing serious. Our alliance with the Tianxia has been beneficial in that regard, they helped us to train our own fighters." It spoke to just how peaceful the lands had been for so long, that they had lacked any such force.
