Nada the Lily Chapter 9 - The Loss of Umslopogaas

In which a loyal servant reluctantly undertakes a journey at the king’s behest, parting secretly with his beloved wife and children under a cloud of dark foreboding, while the impulsive youth Umslopogaas meets fate in a daring encounter with the wild lions of the mountain. We witness tender farewells and the solemn counsel of a father to his grieving daughter, as the shadow of loss and the unpredictable peril of their harsh land loom inexorably over them all.
