Chapter 1
A Plan and a Dream
The night was peaceful throughout the pridelands. The sounds of crickets singing in a wispy song was all that could be heard through the tall thick brush as a cold breeze rushed through the plains swiftly. The wind came fluttering down through the twisted old branches and leaves of the ancient and vigorous tree of life, breaking the meditation of, none other than, the old wise Rafiki. The old timer had been up almost all the night with the weight of the world on his shoulders.
"Mufasa you're crazy!" The old mandrill shaman said criticizing the ideas of is long dead friend. "Do you think I can do everything? There's no way I can do this thing on my own!" Rafiki said, reflecting back on Mufasa's "master" plan of getting Kiara and Kovu to fall in love by having them meet each other again.
"What do you think I can do, wave my staff around in the air and just make them fall in love, or how about just walking into the outlands, scooping up Kovu, and then bringing him straight to Kiara?" He complained to Mufasa.
After calming down a little, Rafiki, with wooden staff in hand, angrily sat down and tried to meditating. As he tried to find something soothing to focus on, a very small, cool gust of wind blew into him, reminding Rafiki that Mufasa's spirit was still present and waiting for an answer.
"I already told you!" Rafiki complained. "I can't do it alone and there is no one who would even think about helping me!"
A large cold gust of wind hit Rafiki in the face, almost blowing him over. Rafiki paused trying to make sure what he heard was right.
"What do you mean you know where I can get some help?" Rafiki asked suspiciously.
To answer his question a breeze began to blow, snapping off a twig of one of the many branches. The twig fell to the floor, pointing to one of the thousands of drawings along the walls and tree limbs that Rafiki and all of his ancestors had made over their lifetimes. It showed the history and prophesies of all the pridelands. The painting that it fell in front of was a small but important drawing signifying the many worlds that make up all of existence.
Rafiki looked carefully at the painting and the twig, searching for an answer on what it could mean. He looked at the ancient branch from which the twig fell. What he saw was on old worn out picture of a young lone lion. Rafiki realized what this meant.
"Are you insane." He said frustratingly "Bringing someone here from another world would just be asking for trouble, worse than that old prophecy. He could go anywhere he wants, and doing whatever he feels like. How could I control that kind of…" Rafiki paused realizing what he had just said and smirked. "So you still know what you're doing. This could actually work!" He jumped off the branch and picked up his staff. "Now where should we look?"
A strange white mist covered the vast landscape around the young cub. The cub was confused as he look around. He tried looking for familiar landmarks, but all the fog was so thick that he nothing but white all around him, he was completely lost. As he staggered through the mist he heard a voice.
"Who are you outsider, what's your name?" it said in a female voice.
"Uhh… Hello?" He called hesitantly.
Silence. There was no answer from the where the voice came from. There was only the sound of the crunching of the wet grass beneath his paws. The cub had a strange urge to go in the direction from where he heard the voice. His fear of where he was or how he ended up there was outweighed by his curiosity abnormal desire to find the owner of the voice. He began to cautiously walk in its direction. As he began walking, two bright yellow glowing eyes cut through the haze in front of him. The cub froze in place as he tried to figure out what they were. He stared at them as a shadow formed around them, taking the form of a large lion.
"W…Who's there?" the cub asked timidly, unsure whether to stand his ground or run.
Once he spoke, the shadow quickly started to disappear into the mist. "Hey!" he cried as he rushed in an effort to catch up with the shadow but to no avail. The shadow had completely vanished from his view, once again leaving the club alone in the mist. Got to keep moving he thought to himself.
After a few steps, a colossal rock formation came into view. It was almost like a small mountain, sloping upwards until it got to the middle where it seemed someone had sliced the rest away in one clear cut. A large boulder rose up from that side. It looked so large that many people could probably stand on the very edge and never have to worry about it collapsing.
The strange compulsion he had practically screamed for him to get to the ledge. Curious as to what was there, he decided to give in and start the walk/climb to the top of the slope. As he looked up to see how close he was, another shadow appeared on the ledge just above him. It was smaller than the previous one and looked like it belonged to a cub.
"Come on Mgeni you slowpoke." It said in a girls voice as it looked down at him.
"H…how do you know my name?" Mgeni stammered in confusion, "Who are you?"
The shadow laughed and ran away from the ledge into the mist, leaving him once again alone. He was unsure of what was happening. Mgeni continued his short walk/climb up to the ledge, getting ever closer. As he reached the top he looked around seeing nothing in the mist.
A large shadow formed through the mist. The mist around the shadow slowly began to clear as it walked closer to Mgeni, taking shape, becoming a large tan lion. He came out of the mist proud and chest high as if he was a king. The large tan lion stepped toward Mgeni giving him a intimidating stare. Mgeni was almost frozen in fear as the lion got closer to him, his eyes locked onto Mgeni's as if he was looking for something inside of the small cub. The lion roared loudly, causing Mgeni to yelp in suprise.
Mgeni practically jumped out of his sleep. He looked around frantically to find out he was safe and sound inside his pride's den. All of the pride members were still asleep inside the den. Beside him he saw a male lion, almost as large as the one in his dream, yawning loudly in his sleep, oblivious to Mgeni's actions. Mgeni chuckled. So it was dad who scared me out of my sleep. Oh well, no point in complaining about it he thought to himself.
Sunlight began to trickle into the mouth of the den as the sun was about to slowly rise for the morning. Mgeni stepped out of the den and into the canyon to watch. He always enjoyed in watching the sunrise over the savannah and would usually make an excuse to wake up early just so he could watch it. He looked to the east and saw distant thunder clouds moving in. A rainy day hmm? Well at least I have my family… he thought as he scampered back into the den. Little did he know that his life was about to change completely.
