Chapter 1
Lion-o was the lion prince of all Thundera and he was outside enjoying the fresh air and today he was reading a book while walking. It was so good he could put it down to watch where he was going and he bumped into someone. "Oh I'm sorry," Lion-o said helping whoever it was pick up their book. Then he looked into the cat's eyes when their hands touched the book at the same time.
"Hi, I'm Pumyra," Pumyra said.
"Nice to meet you I'm Lion-o," Lion-o said.
"I know because you are the prince I am one of the new medics here at the medical wing, we have all the medical files on the guards, clerics and the royal family." Pumyra said. "It's nice to meet you," she said.
"Here's your book," Lion-o said.
"Here's your book," she said.
"Thanks," he said.
"Thank you," she said.
"I see you like the legend of Calvor, it's such a good book," Lion-o said.
"Yes it is, gaining awesome strength and defeating monsters with his bare hands." Pumyra said.
"Yes the famous one man army Thundercat," Lion-o said.
"Yes he is," Pumyra said.
After that Lion-o and Pumyra became friends. They would do many things together in their free time. Lion-o found ways to make Pumyra laugh. Sometimes when she was feeling sad Lion-o would try to cheer her up even if he wasn't too careful.
Pumyra developed feelings for Lion-o. "I love you Lion-o," she said one day when they were watching the sunset from the royal garden.
"I love you too, Pumyra," Lion-o said.
They would slip notes to each other back and forth. Lion-o would bring her flowers and Pumyra would leave him pictures she drew.
Then their relationship started to grow serious.
Claudius noticed sometimes Lion-o would be walking around the palace with the scent of a strange cat. "I wonder what is going on," Claudius said.
"If you ask me Lion-o is in a serious relationship," Tygra said.
"But with who, the scent isn't familiar, and is strange, it doesn't seem to be from a lion," Claudius said.
"Since when is that a bad thing?" Jaga said.
"It's not, I just hope my son is being careful, because last thing I need is him to get saddled with a baby." Claudius said. "But I would like a grandchild to be honest," he said. "I must find out who my son is in love with," he said.
"Have you tried asking him?" Tygra asked.
"No I haven't," Claudius said. He went to Lion-o's room and saw him reading a book. "hello Lion-o," he said.
"Oh hello father," Lion-o said.
"So Lion-o Tygra thinks you are in a serious relationship and I'm starting to think that too," Claudius said.
"So what if I am?" Lion-o asked.
"Who is the girl?" Claudius said.
"Her name is Pumyra she is a medic," Lion-o said.
"Pumyra huh? Claudius said. "Do you love her?" he asked.
"Yes very much," Lion-o said.
"Well I know this son if you love her don't let her go," Claudius said.
Lion-o smiled at his father. "You think I can get her to marry me?" Lion-o asked.
"Maybe you can if you are willing to understand she is about to give up her job as a medic to be a princess and she might face some problems with the people of Thundera." Claudius said.
"I can't wait to talk to her again," Lion-o said.
"I'm glad you are happy son," Claudius said. "Have you two been?" he asked.
"No," Lion-o replied honestly. "We mostly been making out, and doing activities together and that's it." he said.
"I see," Claudius said.
Lion-o met up with Pumyra again. They were in his room. "I can't believe it, you really want to marry me?" Pumyra asked.
"Yes I do," Lion-o said.
"I want to marry you too," Pumyra said.
Then they laid down together. Lion-o was hugging her close.
The next morning a servant came in and saw Lion-o sleeping naked with a female Puma. "Prince Lion-o!" he said.
Lion-o and Pumyra woke up and saw him. "You should be ashamed of yourself sleeping with this trash," the servant said.
"She is not trash," Lion-o said. "She is my fiancee," he said.
"No she is not and she will be in big trouble when your father finds out." the servant said. "She is a lowly commoner and pitiful and unfit to be in the palace, she should be in the slums, and if I catch her in here again I will have the guards throw her in the dungeon."
Pumyra started crying and put on her clothes and ran out.
"Look at what you did!" Lion-o said.
"What I did, I wasn't disgracing the family I was born into," the servant said.
"What's going on in here?" Claudius asked.
"Prince Lion-o was sleeping with a lowly puma," the servant said.
"Her name is Pumyra," Lion-o said.
"I see, but this girl is the woman my son loves and I want to meet her, and I approve of my sons love and I just finished talking to the council and the law has been changed," Claudius said. "Where is she Lion-o?" he asked.
"The servant humiliated her in front of me. Then she ran out crying," Lion-o said.
"Don't worry son everything will be alright," Claudius said.
"I sure hope so," Lion-o said.
Pumyra was in the medical house. "I never been so humiliated!" Pumyra sobbed.
"I'm sure everything will be alright." Kali the head medic said.
"I hope so Kali," Pumyra said.
"I know so, now let's go," Kali said.
After a few weeks Pumyra felt different. Especially when she was organizing her medical bag. She was sure she felt something in her belly when she touched. Then she realized she pregnant. She went to find Kali.
"Hello Pumyra how may I help you?" Kali asked.
"I think I might be pregnant." Pumyra said.
"Oh my let me take a look," Kali said and started to examine her. "Congratulations you're pregnant," she said.
"Oh my Lion-o must know," Pumyra said.
"Are you saying the father of your child is Lion-o the prince?" Kali said.
Pumyra nodded and explained.
"Then go to him," Kali said.
Pumyra smile ran to find Lion-o.
