Hi guys! I've noticed my long absence, and I'm sorry, tbh, I was lazy, lel. Anyway, This is my new TLK story, and I hope you enjoy. If you do, please leave a review and tap that follow button! :D

After a long and huge dispute with the two lion prides, the outlanders and the pridelanders, peace finally took it's coarse again with the start of the marriage of Queen Kiara and King Kovu. It was a time of happiness and life, as the prideland animals came to gather around, and the birds dropped flowers, and the worries deceased. Well- most of the worries deceased, for the previous king, King Simba, had his concerns. Though his daughter convinced him that the outlanders were one with them, he still didn't completely trust Kovu as a king. After all, he was still an outlander, who knows what he could do. Simba couldn't have a new Scar, or Kovu try to exalt himself over the pridelands. So he decided to take action. he looked to the left, where his 2nd born son, Kion, the leader of the lion guard, was watching his sister with a keen smile on his face, hoping that he'd find love as well, for he was the same age as Kiara. So to avoid suspicion, Simba approached his son.

"Kion, I need to talk to you." Simba said, with seriousness in his eyes. "It's important."

Kion looked at him with a confused glare. It was his daughter's wedding, a day to be happy, and he was already thinking of problems? "Yes dad, what's going on?"

"Look, I know what you're thinking, awful timing to be discussing things like this, but I can't help but feel more concerned with Kovu."

Kion rolled his eyes. He loved seeing his sister happy, and so he never agreed with his father's suspicions.

"Dad" he started,"how could you even say that on your daughter's marriage day? She's happy, why can't you be?"

"Kion I am happy! I'm just concerned that he might pull something! It's not bad to be concerned, now is it? All I'm asking is for you to watch him for me, okay?"

"Whatever, father." Kion had walked away from Simba to congratulate his sister. Simba sighed and went to go chat with the other parents.

Kion had done what his father had wanted, and proved that Kovu was not evil, and peace came over the pridelands once again. But it'd soon be disrupted... With the scream of terror into the deep night sky. Simba, Kovu, Kion, and Nala all ran into the private den of King Kovu and Queen Kiara only to be paralyzed with horror. Kiara's cubs.. Had all died. And to think they just came into the world, only to acknowledge a horrible end. 4 cubs, all gone, all dead.

Kovu went to comfort his crying wife, he had tears in his eyes too. Nala and Kion followed. But Simba- he didn't know how to comfort his daughter through this one. He was scared; what if he said the wrong thing? What if he just made Kiara more upset? He didn't know what to do. So he just sat, sat there from afar, looking down.

"Kiara, we'll try again, I promise" Kovu said, trying to comfort his crying wife. Kiara looked at his eyes, she saw that he felt pain as well.

"Kovu... We can't..." Kiara said,"What if this happens again? I don't want to relive the horror, I just can't bring myself to do it. I was so ready, so ready to have a family, to create new memories, and fun times, but they're all gone.. Every single one of them.. I can't face that reality, I can't."

Kovu laid beside her, with teary eyes. Kion was just speechless. He couldn't understand why his sister, of all lionesses, had to go through this. And Simba finally gained the courage to come up to his daughter and hug her. Nala, on the other hand, walked to the deceased cubs on the ground. One of the had to be alive, little did they know, Nala also thought that Kion was dead, for he was premature. Kiara's cubs were also premature, but Nala was determined. She wasn't going to let them die, she had to try. So she started. She licked the first one 3 times, no response. It was dead. She then did the same to the 2nd one. Still no response, it was dead. She went to the third,no response. And she then went to the fourth... No response... It was true, they were all dead. Nala didn't want to face the reality, so she just help all the cubs in her arms. She comforted them and warmed then up. And then, the great kings of the past blessed Nala and Kiara. The fourth cub moved! The fourth cub started crying! Kovu and Kiara heard the cry, and rushed to Nala. Nala couldn't stop smiling."Kiara", she said, turning to face her with a huge smile."She's alive. She's alive."

Kiara was overwhelmed with joy and emotions, she was so happy she had a heir! Simba rushed over to check the baby. But then, the cheering soon ended after Simba showed a large frown on his face.

"What's wrong, daddy?" Kiara asked. Simba didn't answer, she asked again."What's the matter, dad?"

"Kiara," Simba turned to her."Your baby is blind. It's Kibofu."

Kiara couldn't believe it. Kovu couldn't either. Nala checked to see if what Simba said was true, and it sadly was. The baby was in no shape or form to be a heir to the throne.

"What do we do..?" Kion asked,"Kiara, what will you do?"

Kiara didn't answer for a little while. There was a moment of silence. Until Kovu lifted his head up and smiled."Don't be sad, our baby survived, even if she is Kibofu, she is still alive, and that's all that matters. Let us set our worries aside. She's alive!"

Kiara smiled at her positive husband and nodded. "Yes, 1 of our babies is alive. Let us rejoice!"

That's the end of chapter one, look out for chapter two!
