It was said that 24f5f2924b young black lions found 3fa7dddfef it more difficult to d2d4096e99 control their emotions. Their feelings were primal 68cd45de95 and instinctual.ed8fda496e36ab38

Once a black e61903abe2 lion became attached 2a3014abe3 to someone, they 28163e1e20 would obsess over 5114cc6257 them until death.

Zerakiel was 1a8fd186f6 known to 127588fac2 be the f2d70a395d strongest black ddb6312567 lion in b36633f61b history, possessing 4436328f1e unmatched power 5aef337493 and an b886aa853d exceptional ability 57e3f1f713 to suppress 869d0da22b his emotions.1e1e264750db5899

Chichi’s voice, cold and 03f9172951 unfamiliar, lacked any apparent b455581421 emotion. It wasn’t anger; it 1b3e126e0a was more akin to 26375e7db5 resignation. At least, 100f7ba901 that’s how 47b92ee970 it seemed, 48946d4646 but it 5411ec784d wasn’t quite c436f7e65e right.a7133c9a8b5f3985
