Authors Note: Hello Everyone! This is my 1st story so please be kind! The first chapter is about Kovu, the second chapter will be about my OC. It will eventually lead to the Pride Lands! Now on with the story!

New King of the Outlands

The moon shone in the dark sapphire sky. The stars were like diamonds. Some animals slept while other were up and about. The Pride Lands was a very beautiful place.

But far, far away, in a dusty solitary place, a lion slowly opened his eyes. He was famished, sick and skinny. His entire body was sore, probably due to the fact that he had apparently fallen asleep on rocks.

"Where am I? I – I don't remem-" But he couldn't finish his sentence, as a coughing fit attacked him. He tried standing, but was too week, and lightheaded to stay up for very long. "Help." He whimpered in a small voice as unconsciousness overtook him.

"Who do you think he is?"

"What's he doing here?"

"Maybe we should help him."

"No! He could be dangerous!"

"Look at him! He couldn't hurt a fly!"

"Looks can be deceiving."

1st Person POV

I moaned. What's going on? Why are there so many loud, annoying, termite voices!? I opened my eyes. I was surrounded by about ten lionesses. The one who apparently in charge approached me.

"Hello, my name is Sauda. I am the Queen of this group." She was a tan skinned lioness and had dark green eyes. I tried to speak, but all that came out was coughing.

"Can you stand?" She asked. I cringed thinking about my last attempt, but decided to try anyway. I was up, and almost fell if two lionesses hadn't caught me. The watering hole wasn't big, but it was enough.

"Thank you." I said

"No problem" Sauda said with slight amusement. "What's you're name?"

"Hmm…I don't remember."

"Well, what do you remember?"

"Being angry and hurt. Not being good enough. But I don't remember why."

"Well, sleep on it. The others should be getting back with food pretty soon."

"Why are you here? What brought you to a place like this?"

"We used to live in a beautiful place, but in evil lion took the throne, so we left. What about you? Do you know why you're here?"

"I think I've always been here. I don't remember."

Soon, a hunting party came back with a big, healthy, dead wildebeest. WE ate well that day.

We had been here for many moons and the land was replenishing itself. Grass was growing, tree's were coming back to life, animals were coming and the sun was actually shining. Everyone was resting. Sauda and I were on cloud nine, especially after finding out that she was pregnant. Suddenly, Sauda perked up. Her ears were down and her eyes were wide. The others acted the same.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"We have to leave. Now!" They started to get up.

"Too late." Said an unrecognizable voice from behind.

I turned around. There was a black lion. Completely and totally black. Even his eyes were black. He had twenty lionesses behind him. That was twice as many as we had.

"Well, well, what do we have here? Check it out" He said looking at me "Looks like Sauda's found a termite!" He laughed.

"Leave us alone, Yerodin!" Yelled Sauda

"I came all this way just to see you. Why would I leave now? YOU are coming with me!"

"No, she's staying with me!" I said stepping forward.

"So the termite wants to protect his girlfriend. How cute. Well TOO BAD!" He growled and charged at me. I let out a mighty roar and charged. I tried to attack his eyes and throat. I didn't really know what I was doing, if I had learned how to fight, I didn't remember now. We eventually got near cliff and Yerodin through me to the ground and got on top of a rock.

"How does it feel to be on the verge of death?" He jumped from the rock and was ready to strike me. I thought I was going to die. I was too weak and tired to do anything more. I may have died if a hadn't thought of Sauda and our child. Just because I didn't know my parents doesn't mean that our child shouldn't know his father. I rolled over and Yerodin land on the edge of the cliff. The cliff cracked and broke leaving Yerodin hanging on the new edge.

"What's you're name?" He asked

"I am Nuka, King of these Outlands." And with that, Yerodin fell to his doom.

Days passed, days turned into months and Sauda was in labor. She was in the cave with Panyin, Farisa, Lungile, and Tarisai and I wasn't allowed to go in. I did hear moans groans and at one time a scream. I would've gone in if Nadifa hadn't stopped me. Then I was allowed in and all time stopped

Lying in her paws were 2 beautiful cubs, one male and one female.

"What should we call them?"

"Hmm…for the boy, how about Gwandoya? And the girl shall be named Masozi."

They opened their eyes and were face to face with their father. Nuka smiled at his beautiful children.

The Outlands were now as pretty, if not prettier then the pride lands. Everything was green and sunny and everything was in abundance. From now on, Nuka told himself, everything is going to be perfect.
