Author's Note: This for my friend ThatTexaskid. Other than that I don't own anything. Minus a few OCs, also I know Africa and Alaska are far off but it's not in this story. Now without further ado here's the first chapter, enjoy.

He shivered from the cold air that invaded the small den he has been calling home. He has tried everything to keep warm but it's not his mother's warm fur. He closed his amber eyes as he pictured her white fur drowning him in warmth. He shivered again as another cold breeze swarmed in. His mother had left a few days ago to hunt and hasn't been back. He debated if he should leave but he froze at where he was as his mother's voice rang sweetly in his ear.

"Stay here..."

He shuddered before closing his eyes and curling into a ball. He's cold and hungry but there's nothing he could do. He's not so pose to leave but he can't stay here either. If his mother don't return tomorrow he'll leave. Sadly as he woke up and repeated his routine of staying warm, his mother did not show. With his young mind made up he slowly padded out of the den and into the wilderness. His first step outside caused him to stop from the coldness under his silver-white paws. He moved his eyes down to see white stuff covering the ground for a long way. His small ears flickered as he remembered something his mother once said before she left.

"My son, once you are old enough to venture out you will incounter something cold under your paws. Don't worry about it, it's called snow. You will be able to stand it after awhile."

He continued to pad through the woods surrounding his den. As he got deeper and deeper, he couldn't remember where the den was. So he was forced to keep moving forward. His ears twitched at the sound of something or someone stepping on the hard snow. He slowly looked over his shoulder to see a snarling brown giant. He whimpered before running off with the monster roaring behind him. He ran blindly through the wilderness, not paying attention to where he's running. Until he nearly ran off a cliff, taking deep breaths before looking down. A following movement of water rushed forward, going on forever. The snarls of the brown furred monster caused him to turned his back towards the cliff. The monster growls and roars, causing him to take a step back. For him to lose his footing and fall into the raging river below.

He remembers a splash before everything went black.

In a another land the sun had just started to rise over the horizon. Brightening the lush green land known for many generations as the Pride Lands. In the heart of the land stood a majestic mountain structure, all that knows that it has been known as Pride Rock since the very first rulers. Out of a cave that sat on Pride Rock ran two small cubs. Their eyes widen in amazement as they watched the sun rises higher and higher in the sky. It wasn't their first sunrise but it's still just as amazing as any other morning. A golden orange cub moved her amber eyes towards the cave entrance with a wide, childish smile

"Come on dad!"

A yawn was heard followed by the appearance of a golden fur lion. His red mane starting to get lightly tossed around in the morning breeze as he exited the cave. His orange eyes ofull of tiredness.

"I'm coming Kiara. I'm coming..."

A dark beige cub looked from the waking land below to his father with bright green eyes. A a small breeze ruffed up his dark brown tuff on his head.

"Can we go now?"

The golden male smiled at his son. "Yes, Kopa. We can go now."

The siblings cheered before running down the rocky slope with their father following.
