For him, it felt like they were sitting on a secret throne. A throne entirely their own. That only they knew about, not so different to their relationship. And as the young man sat overlooking what he imagined to be his kingdom, he felt his leopard companion’s warm body pressed against his own. He pondered whether it was this hilltop throne that made him feel so significant, or whether it was the silent, wild strength his companion gifted him. As the two of them sat together in shared harmony, the young man revelled in his imaginings. And he knew, tomorrow they would both meet here again; in this place, where the vast, wild Africa belongs only to them.
