The lion king 3: Tale of the Dark one

Chapter 1

It is sunrise at pride rock. The antelope and the Gazelle graze on the near by plains. A very tired kovu steps into the rising sun, and after stretching in the cave entrance walks to the very end of the rock and looks across the African savannah. Moments later a very pregnant Kiara sits next to him her brown eyes fixed on the grazing herds below. "You still nervous?" she asks looking concerned. "nope" kovu feeling better. Kiara smiles at kovu. "I'm more worried than nervous any way".

Kiara frowned. She sighed and took a deep breath. "You will make an excellent king kovu. I have faith in you and so do your unborn children". Kovu's head lifted up a smile appeared on his face. "I bet we have 3 sons!" said kovu as his eyes looked on hopefully. Kiara frowned. Three boys would be almost impossible to handle, plus who would be King? Her great grandfather King Mohattu made the rule himself. The oldest male is to be king. She could never choose between her sons. With a heavy heart she turned and went down to the water hole before the crowning, leaving kovu sat on the rock daydreaming oblivious to Kiara's absence.

Kovu who was daydreaming, was smiling to his self when... SMACK! Something hit him on the head. "Hey!" he complained as he spun around furious. "Move then". It was Rafiki. Kovu looked around him where had Kiara gone? "you've been sat here daydreaming for ten minutes" said Rafiki showing his crooked teeth. "oh" Rafiki raised an eybrow. Kovu turned and ran into the cave. Kovu was running that fast that he ran into a half awake Simba accompanied with Nala. "Sorry" he apologised as he squeezed past the big lion. He then walked to the back of the cave where Sarafina, Sarabi, Vitani and the other lionesses where talking. Kovu raced up to Sarafina. "Where is Kiara? The ceremony starts in five minutes!" Sarafina laughed. "she went to the water hole she should be back by now though". Sarabi walked past kovu and out of the cave she looked down to her left and spotted her grandaughter running up the rocks towards her. "sorry!" said kiara as she rushed into the cave. Sarabi rolled her eyes and looked at Rafiki as he gathered the animals. The Orange morining sky was now blue. Gazing up at it for a few seconds Sarabi then padded back into the cave. Not long after Rafiki came in Simba walked towards him the happiness showing on his Orange face. "it seems we have drawn quite a crowd today" said Rafiki as he lent on his much taller stick.

Simba sighed "she's grown up so fast hasn't she?" Rafiki Nodded. "I've said this before but it is time" said rafiki as he headed out. simba and Nala followed Rafiki out. Kovu and kiara went behind Simba and Nala. In the Sky a beam of light shone down on pride rock. It was mufasa. The Big lions face smiled down on pride rock. Simba looked up at his father then looked down at the crowd. He Spoke as he did the crowd fell silent " Over a period of time I have noticed how Kiara and Kovu have been acting". Simba's red mane blew in the wind." and i think that i am ready to step down as king and Nala step down as queen and that Kovu and Kiara Step up!" murmers of Both approval and disapproval could be heard from down below. Simba and Nala stepped back allowing Kovu and kiara to step foward. Rafiki Scooped up some sand and Sprinkled it over kiara and Kovu's faces. Kovu sneezed, Kiara giggled. Rafiki stood beside them and chanted: "long live King Kovu and queen Kiara!". The animals below Let out a hugh outburst of noise. Elephant blew through thier trunks, Zebra reared whilst making noise, the different coloured birds flew in a circle in the sky squawking and finally everyone bowed down.

Kovu and Kiara Smiled and Let out a huge "ROAR!". After the ceremony the pride went back inside the cave the doze off for the afternoon except Kovu and Kiara, who lay by the water hole where it seemed to be cooler.
