Matriarch: Trapped!

Late upload as well as my last upload for 2017.

Thought I'd take another jab at Matriarch related stuff.
-------

Here we have some very unfortunate cubs, two hyenas and their Rubicund Tyghir friend, fearfully tucking themselves
into some nearby bushes to try and escape the fangs and claws of a rouge lion that had somehow sneaked past the Al'alappan
guards and decided to attack the playing children and possibly make them all into a meal....

The older hyena sibling clutches tightly onto her smaller brother, wanting to keep him as close to her as possible
as he sniffled and cried, terrified of the monstrous cat that growled and clawed at them.

The poor boy was so young that his fur was still dark colored and his spots were faint.

The Tyghir cub was boasting about his strength and bravery not long ago,
but now he's too frightened to move even an inch. His back arched and fur bristled as he hides behind the hyenas.

It seems the fates of these poor children have been sealed....

This was supposed to be a two or three part piece.
Hopefully I can get the next part done some time soon.
