If he is there then the cubs can be there too. This has become very depressing. At first at was boring, and now it has become depressing with the mother and her dead baby, the death or apparent death of the cubs. If I wanted to read about death like that i would read comic dedicated to it from the start. Please get away from the death and destruction it is a huge turn off, and in no way on par with the light hearted Glads. With all the death and destruction going on in the world today to see this is truly a shame, but keep pumping the death angle to the kids because they have no idea yet how precious life is, and how depressing this comic has now become.
That or this could be the first time the story has gotten interesting, at all, since it began? There was death and destruction plastered all over the old Gladiator story, and it's got nothing to do with real world; It's Warcraft.. a game... where you slaughter hundreds of creatures every day... need I continue?
Mandible
Considering its stonetalon mountains its clearly some other cubs, so no need to worry. Otherwise they suddenly got insanely fast and skipped ahead of him.
