Disclaimer: I do not own the Lion King. I wish I did, I also wish I had $1,000,000. But that's not happening. *sigh
I encourage you to tell me what you think, I am new at this and so any help would be greatly appreciated.
The Lion Gaurd
The heat is becoming unbearable, slowly making me weaker as I travel across the Sahara. I haven't eaten or drank anything since I left my pride...3 days ago? I can't even think straight, I need to find shelter soon. Anywhere would be fine, anywhere but Riverside pride. Well. Maybe not, I still really miss Asha. She was my best, well my only friend, but still. I can't imagine what scar might do to her when he finds out I left. I just hope she's okay, and that she doesn't miss me too much because I can't go back, I won't go back.
My ears picked up on something; "Water!" I can hear water flowing in the distance! I can't believe it! Its a miracle; finding flowing water in the desert.
I'm sprinting towards it now, I haven't had any in days. I'm drooling just thinking about it! My ears perked up again, I could swear I just heard a scream.
"Aaaah!" That was definitely a scream, it's coming from the water! What if someones in trouble?. Now I'm sprinting; If I get there in time I could help them! I saw the river and continued running until I looked up.
I froze, it was beautiful. Grass, as green as it gets stretched far and wide and trees taller than mountains littered the landscape. A waterfall in the distance, hurling millions of litres of water into the river that seemed to flow for miles. Then I saw it. A rock, hundreds of metres tall, protruding from the ground; shooting up towards the sky. It was monstrous. I stared wide-eyed at the paradise I was in, not noticing the large lioness leaping in my direction- we collided painfully, both rolling in the grass towards the river bank. My heart was racing as I stood up and spun around only to lock eyes with the most gorgeous lioness I had ever seen.
Her eyes. I felt myself getting lost amongst the stars that floated in the oceans of her eyes. I didn't know what to do, she was an angel, and I was... well I was Simba. Suddenly I was flung back into reality when four other lions jumped out of the bushes, growling at the beautiful lioness I had just met.
There was no way they were going to hurt her, I thought as I jumped in front of them. I know exactly how to scare them away, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. As I opened my jaws, it started as a low rumble, like a stampede, shaking the ground as it slowly got louder and louder until it became a deafening roar that echoed for hundreds of miles.
They were all cowering in fear, I felt satisfied as I turned around only to see that the lioness was backing away with her tail between her legs. I had frightened the angel away. "N-Nala...Wh-who i-s that?"
I spun around, "whos Nala?"
"She's our friend! the one you just freaking scared away!"The lioness was baring her teeth at me.
"Friend? you were about to attack her!" I snapped back.
"what are you talking about, we were playing a game!" One of the males spoke up, he was the smallest of the 4.
I eyed the 4 lions carefully, There were 2 lionesses, they were quite pretty. They both had bright green eyes and were glaring at me furiously. The other two, the males, well one had a brownish tanned coat and a dark mane, he was baring his teeth at me. Obviously, this one was a fighter. The last male, however, had an almost orange coat with a light brown mane to match. He looked as though he just wanted to get out of here.
"Listen here man, you better get lost!" The silence was broken by the male with the dark mane.
"I apologise, I was only trying to protect her," I said this while turning around and heading towards the river to get a long deserved drink.
"No, this is our territory and you will not drink from that river!" The aggressive male started circling me, growling. Obviously trying to scare me off. Little do they know I dealt with this back at Riverside every day and know just how to handle the situation.
I turned to face the male who spoke to me and started growling, preparing to roar again before I saw Nala returning with 2 more lions at her side, They must be the king and queen, I can sense their authority with the other lions. The lioness to her right was holding her head high as she walked, while the male on her left simply was huge, he had a scarlett mane, just like mine. "That's him" Nala spoke in a soft voice, obviously still frightened. There was a pause as the male looked me up and down before stepping back.
"Simba?" I looked at him "How do you know my name?!" I said that a little unsteadily, not sure whether to be frightened or relieved.
The male looked at what I presume to be the queen and spoke with joy "Sarabi, it's him, it's our son" And my whole world came crashing down.
