Forests transformations came in handy when he found himself in the outlands. Being a wolf wouldn't have gotten him into the outlanders territory unscathed. Nor would it have given him a fair shot at getting him into the pride. But after some tests and challenges he found himself part of the outlanders. Though being the newbie brought its own troubles. Last to food, worst assignments, and above all it seemed Vitani had taken a liking to him. A liking to beating the crap our of him every chance she got. But it had its perks, he became stronger, faster, smarter. The longer he fought in his lion form the better he got. Their most recent fights he was able to pin her, finally getting her to smile at him. There were many more skirmishes after that. Bruises and scars to add to his form. Didn't matter how many other lions were out there, cause forest the outlander, found his worthy adversary.
