Authors note:

Hey guys if you are here to read a first person view of TLK you have come to the right place. I've been looking for a good first person story of TLK and they are few that are good. So i decided that I was going to make a attempt at it so I wrote this after having a very powerful dream. It was one of those dreams that you have hyper realism I could feel, touch, smell and had complete control of my dream. So after that I knew that I had to write what I dream about.

Some of the characters are the normal Lion King characters of coarse however there is one that is not Uzuri. She is a product of the chronicles of the pridelands. I did not create that character and credit should be given to the people who created her. However she was such an influential character that I had to meet her and this is how I got to

Also please review if there is stuff you like tell me if theirs stuff you don't like tell I will never grow as a writer without feed back. Another thing as I have seen with posting stories on not a lot of people write reviews. If you send me your stories I promise I will read them and pending on what you want I will give you feed back.

Thanks hopefully you enjoy this as much as I did.

Life is songs… sing it

Life is games… play it

Life is challenges… meet it

Life is a dream… realize it

Life is a sacrifice…offer it

Life is love… enjoy it

Chapter 1: Welcome to Your Fantasy

Upon the vast open oceans ships sail the water ways. Some are here for profit others are here for exploration and research and the rest are like me. We stand watch upon military vessels protecting or assets and showing our naval presences for our countries. This may sound like and awesome job showing your countries power a global force for good and all that jazz. At times yes but other times it's a mindless void that sucks you in. Combat is the epitome of that void with the blue lights of death that drain our souls as we sit and stare at computer screens waiting for stuff to happen. It's a thankless job but someone has to do it. "Hey EW what do you have at bearing 245?"

Breaking my inner monologue I searched my screen for what my chief was looking for. "Negative es at that bearing, chief." Like always if we don't see anything, however if we do its most likely a commercial nav. At least I had people with me that made the time fly past. We would discuss everything under the sun mostly it went more towards vulgar topics as with most sailor conversation. Hey were guys stuck on a ship for 8 months what would you expect.

After my watch my work would commence and I would have to deal with an assortment of bs that would make you go insane. So your probably wondering how you deal with a bunch of dudes and idiotic tasking well I would go to our cardio room and run. It was the only thing that made any sense to me. When I ran I was in my own little world and I could escape all my problems and stress. This night was no different than the rest.

By the time I completed my run it was dark outside so I would indulge in one of my favor activities that no one really knows about. Since our cardio room leads out to the weather decks I would sneak out at dark and look at the stars. I bet your wondering why I would have to sneak out after dark well you're not supposed to be out on the weather decks without someone else being with you. Since I was the quite type and I thought my activity was embarrassing I ventured out by myself.

On this night it was no different after my run I went out drenched in sweat. The brisk night air nipped at my sweat cover skin instantly causing me to shudder from the cold. It was all worth it though as on the upper decks those red lights that were on the exterior would not abide the light produced by the stars. It was magical as I gazed up at their wondrous beauty. Tonight they really shown in their true brilliance sending shivers up and down my body as my infatuation with them entranced me.

Leaning on the half bulkhead leaning over the side looking out towards the horizon where the stars stretched to the water. A smile drew across my face as tried to take it all in. Upon my searching a single star snagged my attention. As I studied it, it began to burn brighter a calling from inside me drew it to me. 'You are coming home' a voice rang in my head. Pushing away from the bulkhead in shock from the words that spoke in my head. They were as clear as if someone was standing in front of me.

Trying to take my attention away from the star was even more of a challenge. Something was holding my position fixing it towards the star. Fear and panic began to set in as I felt like I was no longer in control of the situation. Crying out for help yielded no results as I became mute probably paralyzed by fear of what was happening to me.

The sound of rushing water crashed through the still night instantly breaking the stars hold upon me. 'What the...' mouthing unconsciously as I looked unto the rushing black wall that grew in size. Seeing that I made a grave decision and walked to the opposite side of the entrance to the skin of the ship.

As quickly as my legs could carry me I bolted towards the black wall of water as it advances upon my ship. Peeling around the corner digging into the non-skid to keep my traction as precious seconds dried up. Around the next corner laid my objective and safety. Clearing the corner I saw that my efforts were in vain as the wall breach the half wall and engulfed the deck like a machine.

In an instant my foot was swept up by the wraith of the water rushing towards me. Before I could scream in disbelief I was swept off my feet sending me into the belly of the beast. Darkness of the water swept over me as the current lashed out at me beating me senseless. Turning and tossing in the vortex of the water I no longer knew where the ship was. Dismal thoughts ran through my head as I fought the current tooth and nail to no avail.

Holding on to what like breath I had I fought for I would not go down without a fight. Adrenaline surged through my veins making each thrust of my arms more powerful as I search for the surface. My lungs screamed at me to take a breath as I swam in a mysterious direction. Fighting with all my mental capacity I could muster to not let my body have its way knowing that it would ultimately lead to my doom.

In my last effort I pushed with all my strength to break free to the surface only to be miserable disappointed. My body winning the mental battle I opened my mouth in inhaled for the last time. Water rushed in like a damn breaking filling my lungs with water. My hands flung to my throat as I choked my body searching for oxygen. Fear and panic was all I could feel as the darkness swept over me as the last fight my body could muster faded into the darkness of the night.
