The second house is much like the other houses, and it appears to have only one floor, though it is rather long. The color of the house is a light beige, something that clashes a bit with the green grass around it.
Before you even knock on the door, it swings open to reveal none other than a lioness. Desiring greatly to retreat back to the guardian you met, you begin to step backwards. A smile forms on her face.
"Relax," she said. "I do not eat creatures such as you." She steps back so that you may enter her home. With some trepidation, you enter, hoping that she is being honest.
The interior of the house seems much more like a brushland than a house. Straw and grass are strewn around the floor, and there are places where it is obvious that she sits often. The one room you see, however, opens up into three more rooms, and probably more doors open up into other rooms beyond.
From the door on the left, a small creature bursts. It is the same tawny color as the lioness, although it is moving so quickly that you cannot really see much for sure.
"Now, Neeyaha!" she shouts at the tawny blur, which you assume is her child. "Stop running around, we have a guest, young lady!"
The creature, which is definately the lioness's daughter, stops and looks up at you. "Mamma, is that a wanderor?" she asks, in awe.
"Yes, Emyaha, do introduce us," a surly voice says as another lion enters the room. While his voice does not sound happy, his look is rather playful. When the lioness speaks, it is obvious that he is joking.
"This, Neefor, is our guest," she says. "Probably looking for information about the wood, as to explore it." She smiles. "You wouldn't know anything about that."
He laughs. "There is an old, thought to be dead king, that may be lurking about. But I can't tell you any more than that, wanderor."
