Kip. 14: A False Charge and a Lonely Hyena

Braun will recover, but based on his description of his attacker and a tuft of fur he ripped off, Lante is arrested. Sariphi vows to exonerate him and the commander, Teiryns, helps her. In his cell, Lante remembers how as a child, he raised money to buy medicine for his sick mother, but because he was a Hyena, guards accused him of stealing the medicine, confiscated it, and beat him up, leading to his mother's death. Sariphi and Teiryns capture the real attacker, a Badger who hated authority. Because the beasts are mostly colorblind, Sariphi was the only one able to tell the fur did not match Lante but matched the Badger. Upon release, Lante swears eternal loyalty to Sariphi for believing in him. Braun officially becomes the Lord of Maasya. When they arrive home, Sariphi faints from exhaustion and is sent to her room. While Lante's lack of manners angers Anubis, his loyalty to Sariphi impresses Leonhart and he makes him a knight. (Source: Wikipedia)
