" Rising to Power"
Hello and welcome to "Rising to Power". Please enjoy. Warning: Chapter may be revised, again.
Chapter 1
On a small island, off the southeastern part of Africa, stood Madagascar. In Madagascar, there were palm
trees, rocks, a sandy beach, and many more, which covered the island. Also, there was a lemur clan buried
deep in the jungle of Madagascar. They were all gathering fruit when some foosa came and attacked them.
Screaming, most of the lemurs climbed up the trees and hid in the branches, while others remained
scrambling on the ground, trying to find other places to hide. Sadly, the foosa swooped most of them up
and ate them.
King Julien the twelfth, however, was lounging in a nearby tour plane with his wife and only heir, not
knowing what was happening. Suddenly, a heavy set Aye-Aye barged through the door of the plane and
ran over to the group of ringtails, running out of breath. " Your majesty," he wailed. " We're under attack.
The foosa. They're back."
King Julien the twelfth's eyes widened then he turned to his wife and kid. " Aleu," he beckoned toward the
curvy, metallic gray lemur. " Be staying here and be to protecting Prince Julien the thirteenth. I will to being
right back." Aleu nodded her head, once, but felt her spine shiver. She could since that this was not going
to end well, so she held her son close in her arms.
" Daddy, no," Prince Julien gasped as his father stood up and started walking out the door. He was the
exact splitting image of his father, only thinner. Grunting, the young lemur pushed his way out of his
mother's arms and ran toward his father who was just about to leap out of the plane.
" Julien," Aleu cried then ran after him.
" What," her husband stopped and turned around only to be greeted by his son, wrapping his arms around
his torso.
" Not you," Aleu peeped as she approached the boys. " Our son."
" Daddy," Prince Julien sobbed as he buried his head in his father's fur. " Please do not to be going. The
foosa will to be killing you."
" Son," King Julien sighed as he placed his paws on his son's shoulders. " Let me to be telling you
something that my father was to be telling me. Sometimes being king is sometimes to be meaning more
than to being in charge. It is to being about putting others needs before your own."
" But we are to be needing you," the lemur prince sniffled. " I am to be needing you."
" I am to being sorry, but this is to being one of my royal duties," King Julien groaned. " Now please to be
staying here with your mother."
" But, Daddy," Prince Julien cried. " I am wanting to be coming with you. Be helping you to fight off the
foosa."
" No," his father's voice stiffened. " It is to being too dangerous. Now please to be doing as you are told. By
the way, if I am to not to be coming back, you are to be taking over the lemur kingdom as King Julien the
thirteenth."
" But," the lemur prince stared up his father as tears rolled down his cheeks.
" No buts," King Julien uttered then hugged his son and kissed his wife on the cheek. " I will to be seeing
you, later." With a swish of his tail, King Julien the twelf walked out the door with the Aye-Aye following.
