Okay guys. So I know that last installment was twenty nine and I'm pretty sure this one will be pretty long. Probably longer than the first.
Another thing, this installment is inspired by Thor and the Avengers. So a lot of material belongs to Marvel and bit of Guardiansaint's, since I'm using some stuff from one of her stories.
Now onto the first chapter of Delicate III. Enjoy and I really appreciate the feedback.
Future King Dimitri stands, nervously pacing. Queen Sherise enters the small cave not far from the kopje and approaches behind him, sees his anxiety.
"It's all right to be nervous."
Dimitri groans. "Why does everyone keep saying that? I'm not nervous!"
The dark brown lioness looked at her son hard. "You may be able to fool the rest of kingdom -"
"...but never you. I know." the creamy white teen finished.
Sherise smiled before pushing some of her son's black mane out of his eyes. "Dimitri, just remember that you have something even the great King Luis never had."
Dimitri looked at his mother with questioning eyes. "And what is that?"
Sherise chuckled before smiling. "Me for a mother. Now don't keep the pride waiting."
Sherise gave her son one last nuzzle before heading towards priderock.
-O-
Skye stood with Javion and Adrien along with a few others. The Royal Siblings stood before the crowd of the animals and pride.
Prince Lewis and Queen Sherise made their way down the line of the subjects. Lewis takes his place at the front of the crowd alongside his sister and brothers.
With another blast of a trumpet the crowd goes silent as the some lionesses and lions moves into formation. They part to reveal King Luis walking out of the cave. His black mane blew lightly as he walked to the peak.
He exudes all the power and majesty of a co-ruler of the Pridelands. Sherise joins him at his side. The creamy white furred king looks around and casts a glance over to the brothers and Skye.
As Prince Dimitri is nowhere to be seen. Luis looks to Lewis. The second creamy white prince shrugs.
Luis wasn't pleased. A murmur spreads through the crowd.
Prince Adrien looked at his youngest brother. "Where is he?"
Lewis shook his head at the creamy, yellow blonde maned lion. "He said he'd be along."
Skye's dark purple eyes widened as she realizes the truth, and shakes her head in disapproval.
Javion looks at the tawny lioness with a raised dark brown eyebrow. "What?"
Skye rolled her eyes. "He wants to make an entrance."
Their cousin, Barry a light cream teen with a small brownish mane groaned before looking from Skye to the crowd. "Well, if he doesn't show up soon, he shouldn't bother. Uncle Luis looks like he's ready to feed him to the hyenas."
Lewis sighed as he looked over the crowd. This was the last place he wanted to be. A crowning ceremony for his brother and Emma but was here if only for his mother. "I wouldn't worry. Father will forgive him. He always does."
Just then, at the back of the crowd, a loud roar erupted. Future King Dimitri strides cockily down the assemble lines. The crowd erupts in cheers.
Dimitri grins, basking in the moment, relishing the adoration, whipping his audience up into a frenzy.
Emma stood behind the queen and king with a disappointing look in her greenish eyes.
As Skye rolled her dark purple eyes. "Oh, please."
Luis and Sherise watches from the peak, not liking this showy display.
...
As the sound of the cheers echo through the land. Two lions stood guard by the borders. They soon grow increasingly uneasy, sensing something's not right. They exchange a look, and look around where out of no where they get pounced on by two lionesses.
One with greyish fur looked up from the dead body she just killed with a evil glint in her black eyes. Not long after a few more lionesses walked over the borders lead by a whitish tan lion with a black mane.
"Nice work, Sona." then he looked towards the other lioness that attacked the patrolling lions. Who was a black lioness with black eyes. "You too, Helen."
The black lioness smiled as her daughter looked at the lion.
"What now?"
Brysen looked at the younger lioness. "Your father said some one showed him and my grandparents a way in. And we plan to fully use it."
Without another thought the whitish tan lion continue heading into the Pridelands with Helen and the others following.
Sona sighed deeply. "I hope this isn't a trap."
After taking a deep breath she followed after the others.
