Thunder roared as lighting cracked against the dark sky. Rain poured from the heavens as if there were angels crying. Clouds rolled in and cast a foggy mist across the savannah. A wildebeest lift its head as a loud roar ripped through the air. Along with the ones around the animal ran for safer ground. In a clearing on the far off side of the kingdom was where the roar was coming from. Lying on his side, breathing heavy was a old pale tan lion with crimson eyes and a black mane. His body was covered in scars as blood leaked from his pale gray muzzle. Rain matted his fur as the mud under him clung to it for dear life. A dark laugh rang through the old lion's black rimmed ear.
"You old fool! You had no idea this was coming!"
The old lion managed to turn his dull glaze to the voice of his attacker.
"Why?"
"To be king of course! Its time that the Green Lands seen a new reign!"
The dying lion couldn't make out the lion's apperence from the storm. But knew who it was by voice.
"But Nazi...I'm your father"
"The reason why you must die"
With that the old lion watched the form of his son disappear into mist of the storm.
~O~
"Where are they?!"
Demanded a old pale gray lioness as she paced. She was rather unique. She has a dark brown stripe going down her back from between her eyes. Her black claws were always out like her son.
"Bianca..."
The old lioness turn her blue eyes from the cave entrance to a young dark beige lioness with green eyes.
"I'm sure they will be alright"
The lioness sighed, "I guess you're right, Amani"
Soon the sounds of claws scraping across the cave floor made the two lionesses look. There was a large dark gray brown lion with a black mane and orange eyes. His black claws were sticking out and scraped the floor as he walked. Bianca rushed to the lion's side as he shook his mane and fur from water.
"Nazi, you're alright. Where's your father?"
The lion lowered his head as tears ran down his face. "Mother, I'm sorry. But father have joined the stars. I'm afraid we were attacked by rogues and I bearly made it"
Bianca shook her head before roaring. "No! Not Kota!"
A heavily preagant peach lioness with pale green eyes walked up.
"So what happens now?"
Bianca sniffed up some tears and went to say something but Nazi cut in.
"With a heavy heart I take the throne and its will great sorrow I stripe Ayanna of her title as my betrothed"
The peach lioness' eyes widen before she bared her teeth. "What! You can't do that! I'm already preagant with your heir!"
Nazi growled at her, "I'm king and I do whatever I want...plus I'm not in love with you!"
Ayanna gasped her heart sunk like the titanic. Her headed lowered with her mild brown ears pinned against her head as tears fell.
Nazi turned to the dark beige lioness who was trying to comfort her friend.
"Amani!"
Green met orange and in that moment things changed. As the the lioness gasped.
"Please...someone else! Re pick Ayanna! You would learn to love her"
Nazi shook his head and motion outside the cave in the rain. Amani shot her crying friend a sorry look before exiting the cave with Nazi following. Soon the pride's ears perked as their heads shot up at the sound of a loud roar.
