Chapter One

It was a joyful day in the Pride Lands. Everyone was happy to hear of the arrival of Janja and Jasidi's cubs, Bakari and Mufasa. The prince and princess were blessed by Rafiki. Shenzi and Banzai watched from above. They were very proud of how successful their sons and daughters were. They were especially pleased to see that their eldest had produced the future queen of their clan. A few days later, Simba explained to the hyena prince why his name was Mufasa. A few weeks had passed since that time. Bakari and Mufasa were starting to begin their lessons about their place in the circle of life.

"Look Bakari, everything the light touches in this part of the Pride Lands is ours. A matriarch's time rises and falls like the sun. One day I won't be here anymore. When that day comes, the clan will turn to you as their new queen." Jasiri said.

"Why won't be here one day mommy?" Asked Bakari.

"Well, the Circle of Life states that every creature has their time to live and their time to die. It is the base of the delicate balance that connects everyone in this world. The grass is eaten by the antelope, we hyenas eat the antelope. When we die, we become the grass. That is how we are all connected. It is very important that as queen, you respect the Circle of Life and understand your place in it." Jasiri answered.

Bakari nodded. She knew where her life would take her. Her brother Mufasa was already done with his lesson when he saw her. He greeted his mother and sister. Jasiri nuzzled her son and then went to greet Janja.


Meanwhile, in another part of the hyena territory; Nne and Tano were plotting to overthrow their queen.

"So what are we going to do about our queen?" Asked Tano.

"We are going to destroy her." Nne replied.

"But how will we destroy her? Everyone in the Pride Lands love her." Tano then said.

"That's easy, we start another war between Simba's pride and our clan. Look, we off a couple of lions. Jasiri is blamed by Simba. They strike her down; and we get out before total war erupts." Nne explained.

"Yeah great plan! But wait, if Jasiri is killed - that means her daughter becomes queen." Taco then responded.

"Not unless Simba wants retribution for the death of young lions." Nne said.

"You don't mean…" Replied Tano

Nne smirked as he nodded. Tano began licking his lips. They both chuckled darkly as evil thoughts entered their minds. Nne then told Tano to rally as many hyenas as he could for the cause. When Tano returned, he had between 6-8 other hyenas who also hated Jasiri. Nne smiled then got up to leave their meeting spot.


"Where are you going?" Asked one hyena.

"I'm going to speak with a few lions I know who still are a tad bit unhappy about this peace agreement." Nne said.

"But won't they then kill us?" Another hyena then asked.

"No. At least not at the moment anyway." Nne replied.

He then left their meeting spot.

Mufasa and Bakari were playing with Kion and Tiffu's cubs. Jasiri smiled at her life long friend.

"I'm so glad you arranged for our cubs to see each other. Thank you very much Kion." Jasiri said.

"Hakuna matata Jasiri. I want my cubs to grow up respecting everyone." Kion replied.

Simba then approached them. He was advanced in his age; but he wasn't through with the world yet. He smiled and bowed to the hyena queen. It had taken some adjusting, but Simba had learned to put all distrust and hate towards hyenas behind him. He had been able to do that the day Jasiri lost her father Banzai. The former alpha male had died protecting both his cubs and his own cubs.


"Good afternoon Jasiri." Said the king.

"Good afternoon your majesty." Jasiri replied.

Simba chuckled, as he watched his grandchildren play fight with the hyena cubs. Bakari showed her tiny fangs to the male lion cub. She was trying to show her dominance over all the males present. Suddenly, Sarafina appeared. Despite her advanced age, she was still feared by the hyenas. She was the Pride Lands' known hyena killer. Her and her team were rumored to tear hyenas apart and eat them. The old lioness kept a stiff face as she noticed the hyena queen.

"Jasiri." She said.

"Sarafina." Replied the matriarch.

The lioness looked over and saw Jasiri's cubs were playfully tugging on Kion's mane.

"Your cubs are looking well. I'm sure it won't be long until they start getting their spots." She commented.

"Yes, my cubs are very well thank you. We female hyenas are known to be very caring mothers." Jasiri then said.


Simba could sense the tension between them. He then stood up.

"Sarafina, I need to speak with you about training this year's cubs on tracking." Simba then piped up, as he winked at Jasiri.

Jasiri silently thanked him. The two lions left. Jasiri sighed heavily with relief. Meanwhile, Cheezi had gone out to hunt for hares. He had been instructed to trim their population. As he finished his job, he heard something moving in the tall grass. He got his guard up. Cheezi then began to cautiously make his way home. The poor hyena couldn't react in time when his mysterious companion launched itself from the tall grass like a gold missile. After a brief struggle, the lioness that attacked him heard a satisfying snapping sound as the hyena fell lifeless in her grasp. Cheezi's body was dropped and the lioness disappeared into the night.


Oh dear, already drama is happening. What will happen when Cheezi's body is found? Stay tuned for chapter two.
