This was actually my first ever fanfic! I originally wrote this in 2002 for my own enjoyment. That year, I was writing the second draft when my 7th grade English teacher saw me writing it. She suggested that this should be my short story and…the rest is history. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

Chapter I- The New Royal Family

It was a warm spring afternoon in Africa. All of the animals of the Pride Lands- a kingdom in Kenya- had come to Pride Rock to see the new prince and princess, the son and daughter of the lion ruler King Kovu and Queen Kiara.

The crowd watched the old baboon Rafiki come to the edge of Pride Rock and raised both of the cubs, one at a time. The entire crowd stomped their feet, then bowed when the suns light tore through the clouds and one each of the cub's forehead

At this time, everyone thought that Kovu's time as ruler would be the best years ever. Unfortunately, there was someone who could prevent this from happening.

Far away from Pride Rock, a female hyena watched the whole thing on top of a tall rock in the Outlands, a dark kingdom next to the Pride Lands. This hyena could turn any of the happy things that would happen in the future into a living nightmare.


Okay, I know this is a very short chapter. But hey, this is me trying to split a 52 page script into a multi-chapter, approved format story! Please review!
