Kopa laid on his side near the watering hole. His side rose up and down . Brown eyes close as the sun beat down on him. He opens one eye and slowly rolls to being on all four and sets his head down , his brown light pelted mane stuck up.
'Three , two' The two wet and two dry seasons old male huffed.'One'
Two weights jumped onto his back , one heavy than the other.
" Kopa."
Kopa lifted his head from where it laid as the heavier of the two got off. Kiara padded over into view before sitting down only a tail length away.
"We been looking for you." His eleven moons old sister said.
The lighter weight moved till Kopa felt rear paws on his shoulders and front paws on his head .
"Yeah Kopa where have you been?" Kopa laid his head down and small body slipped down.
At two moons old and red tuff on top, Kion was a little spit fire in his opinion.
Kopa chuckle and got to his paws and padded over to the watering hole ,took a drink and settle back with his siblings under a tree.
" I've been thinking..." Wind blew at the young lions fur as they watched the savanna. "...about leaving the pride lands."
Kion and Kiara gasped at their older brother.
"But but but-" Kion couldn't even put a paw on his words.
Kiara moved in front of her brother.
Amber eyes look into brown understanding eyes. " What would dad say !?" Kiara asked. Kopa got up and started walking to Pride rock with his siblings by his side.
"Father would understand that I'm not ready and that he still needs more time . "
Kion was still quite small and was getting quite tried. Kopa pick up his younger brother up by the scuff and look at Kiara saying in looks that they would talk more later.
As they reach Pride Rock , a shadow in the tall grass snarled as Kopa look back at the lands he'll soon leave.
