Okay, So I was really disappointed that Sarabi didn't have much parts in the Lion King - She only played the part as a mother, a protester (during Scar's reign) and a queen and mate to Mufasa. We know a lot about Sarabi - some of us. But we don't really know about her history. So, I decided to start this story as I mentioned in one of my other stories!


Chapter 1 - Morning Dew.


The couple lay in the wet grass, glancing up to the sun that rose. The lioness looked up, seeing a beautiful sunrise, lined up with the pink, orange and red hue. Mount Kilimanjaro bloomed in the distance as birds flew. Her pale tanned fur ruffled in the grass and her tale curled with her mate's. The male was a light brown color, his blue orbs reached from the bottom of his mate's tale right up to her precious red orbs - which seemed to be focused onto the beautiful sunrise.

"You're so beautiful, you have no idea." said the male, smiling as he stood up all four.

"You're handsome. But, where are you going, Moto?" asked Ishi, standing up behind him.

The male yawned then turning to his mate and giving a lick. "I was on my way back. I'm cold but I'll stay with you if you want."

"No, let's go. It's pretty cold anyway." said Ishi, feeling the breeze on her fur.

The couple continued back to Pride Rock, seeing all the lionesses outside. King Ahadi paced outside the den, thoughts pondering in his mind.

"What's going on, Fetaya?" asked Ishi to a creamy lioness.

"Queen Uru has gone into labor so she can't lead the hunting party!" replied Fetaya, scared of what would happen to the queen.

"Hunting is not the most important thing right now, Fetaya!" butted in Maisha, giving her friend an annoyed look.

Ishi sighed deeply. What would happen to her friend? Ishi's mother died at Ishi's birth, leaving only her and her brother, Sheri. The lioness galloped over to Ahadi, putting a paw on his shoulder and consoling him.

"She'll be fine, Ahadi. Give her time." said Ishi. But Ahadi removed the paw off of his shoulder, then staring at her. "Oh! I'm sorry .. I didn't-"

"No, I'm sorry. I'm just under a lot of stress." replied King Ahadi, ruffling his golden fur. His green orbs were seeing nothing but the den and there was a loud cry out of pain. The heavily built king tried to run in, only to be stopped by two lionesses, guarding the den. The lioness held their cubs back, covering their ears or either leading them away.

"Come on, Angalia." said a brown lioness, leading her cub away.


After a few hours, a baboon finally came out. Some blood was smeared over his hands but he was smiling brightly.

"Queen Uru has given birth to a cub." he said.

The King bolted in at once, only to find his mate laid on the cave floor, asleep and a small golden cub sucking at her nipples. Her beautiful brown coat was matted with sweat and probably dry blood. Her beautiful amber eyes were closed. She had also a small diamond on her head - It was a birthmark, not an injury.

"Uru." the king nudged his mate. Her eyes slowly opened and the two golden lions formed into one. The queen eyes were locked onto the king's green, staring deeply. A smile was drawn across her muzzle.

"Ahadi." she said weakly, trying to lean in for a nuzzle. "W-where's my cub?"

Ahadi gently picked up the small golden bundle and placed it between his queen's arms.

"He's gorgeous!" complimented the queen. It wasn't long before the rest of the Pride came in, admiring the cub from all angles.

"I want a cub." said Ishi, leaning into Moto.

"Are you sure?" asked Moto, a smile on his face. "Will you be able to deal with it?"

"Yes! Please?"

Moto rolled his eyes playfully with a smile. "Oh, Alright then."

"What are you going to name him?" asked Fetaya, getting a good look at the cub.

"I don't know, yet. Anything in mind, Ahadi?" the queen looked to her mate.

"I like the name.. Mufasa," stated the king. "It was my brother's name before he died. Or at least that's what my father says."

"It's Mufasa, then!" yelled Uru excitedly.


During the afternoon, Uru stayed to look after her cubs. Ishi, Fetaya, Maisha and the rest of the Pride went hunting and Ahadi was speaking to Moto.

"So, are you excited about Mufasa?" asked Moto. He already assumed the answer. It was probably yes.

"Yes. But I won't be here when he has his own cubs." sighed Ahadi. "So, how about your cubs?"

"Well, Ishi wants to have a cub. But, do you think I'll be a good father?"

"Of course, my friend! And, if you have a girl, we'll betroth them." suggested Ahadi

"Okay, then. We'll try, soon."

"Okay, but don't wait too long! My cub needs a mate." teased Ahadi.

"We won't let you down!"


So, this was chapter 1! I believe Taka/Scar was born some time later. But this is the story I've been talking about. I've spent extra time on it and I've finally done it! Chapters may come today.. Giza : Land of Light and Darkness may be posted some time today or tomorrow! I won't really be posting during the week starting from Monday until Friday, since I have a Maths Exam - Which I hate so much! So.. yeah.

Characters

Ishi - Ishi is Sarabi's mother. Like I said, she is a queen of another pride - only when Moto leaves to rule is a light, pale tan color and is awfully nice. She loves cubs and her mate. She dies some time between Scar's reign so she kind of lives for long.

Moto - "Hot" - He is Sarabi's father and Ishi's mate. He soon has to leave and rule his father's kingdom but he has nor mate or cubs there and NEVER will. He's only in love with Ishi. He is caring, fatherly, responsible and strongly-built. He is a light caramel- brownish color and his mane is even darker.

Fetaya - Fetaya is my version of Sarafina's mother. Her mate is Sheri - Ishi's brother. She is creamy, kind, fashionable (in the lion kingdom like she loves grooming..etc..)

Maisha - "Life" - She is my version of maybe Zira's mother. Though her daughter is bad, she is good. She is a light tan like Sarabi, she has red eyes. She is devastated when Zira is banished and dies after Simba becomes king.

Angalia - I heard she was a member of Mufasa's Pride and so I decided to make her Kula's mother.

Sheri - "Darling" (french) - He is Ishi's brother. He is almost like Ishi but a bit lighter. His eyes are emerald, his mane is crimson. He is kind, fatherly, sometimes stubborn and over-protective. He is the father of Sarafina.
