Chapter 1
Disclaimer: If you have heard of it before reading my stories, it isn't mine, since My Little Pony and Lion king belong to Hasbro and Disney respectively. Anything else belongs to me.
"We all know how it ends... You followed her back to our village"
-Ranjan, The Jungle Book 2
Mkuu opened his eyes. He still felt the pain in his neck from when his throat was slit. He looked around and saw a zebra. Its body structure was not that of one he saw at home in Africa. Familiar, somehow, but different.
Mkuu looked up at the ceiling and reasoned he had to be in one of two places. He began to count up all the good things in life he had done with all the bad things. He started silently debating whether the incident with Jim and the snake was either good or bad (they had saved the entire northern side of Africa) when the zebra started talking to him.
"Ah, now awake are you
Is there anything I can do?"
"Yeah," Mkuu said "Am I in the good place or the bad place?"
The zebra chuckled.
"I will tell you the answer that you strive,
Your in this world where you're still alive."
"Isn't that kind of impossible?"
"If a moment longer I had took,
I would have to put on a grave look."
Mkuu nodded.
"I believe I answered all questions with you,
Is that not right Mkuu?"
The lion sat up quickly when he heard his name. His body then realized he was too weak to support himself, and he collapsed back down.
"How do you know my name?" he asked.
"With a certain mandrill, I am friend,
Messages to each other, we send"
Zecora's speech pattern at that point made him think of the little green creature in the Pride Lands that always talked funny. He then nodded, knowing that if Rafiki was involved, it didn't have to make sense.
"A warning you should listen to, dear
Do not leave the forest or you will cause fear."
Mkuu nodded again.
"I don't even know why I'm here." he said.
"Wait a while, and if you do
Maybe the answer will come to you."
And two and a half years later, it did...
