Hey everyone how's it going sorry for the long wait been having computer troubles but now I'm finally ready to begin my next stories, First Sunrise and Last Sunset. As already stated I will be posting both stories at the same time allowing you to view both how this world begins and ends. There will be small connections that tie this story together that become quite important later on.
Now here we are Last Sunset the third and final installment of The War Of Ideals trilogy and the grand finale of my entire Lion King Saga. Naturally being the final culmination of my entire saga this story will be impossible to truly appreciate without reading my prior stories. Hope you enjoy the grand finale of the lion king saga I have crafted.
: Finale 1:
Not meant to lead
Usawa and Machafuko were standing before the council a group of different animals consisting of a cheetah, an elephant, a zebra, a tiger, and a snake, who had summoned them after their mission in the recently discovered pride clearly unhappy with the result.
"You summoned us" Usawa said while bowing respectfully despite his clear disdain for the council, Machafuko didn't even bother bowing.
"Yes we are wondering why that land has not yet been brought to order?" the male cheetah asked.
"The situation is chaotic bringing order won't be easy" Usawa answered.
"You have been there for months and have nothing to show for it" the female zebra said annoyed.
"The land is hesitant to accept a new government after the one they themselves elected collapsed" Usawa explained.
"We are not concerned about their problems we are only interested in results" the male tiger said.
Machafuko listened to them with disgust he had heard enough they were the ones who sat back and did nothing while everything fell apart it was time someone force them to own up to their mistakes.
"And that's why we're in this situation in the first place you don't care about them" Machafuko stated.
Usawa had to admit his brother was right though bringing this up now was probably not the best option.
"What can we do Machafuko" the female snake asked sounding somewhat genuine.
"You sit around and do nothing the only reason any of you got power is because you took advantage of weakened and confused lands and yet you do nothing to help them" Machafuko said in disgust.
"Perhaps but that is the exact reason we send you, you know how to help them we just rebuild afterwards" the female snake reasoned.
"But that's not enough you can't sit here and tell us what to do when you don't know" Machafuko replied sounding more reasonable.
"Silence Machafuko! A lions role is to serve and protect!" the male elephant said.
"And I do I protect the people I serve the people they are the pride" Machafuko replied.
Usawa watched his brother with pride, "Machafuko is right we can't just force something on them not yet" Usawa said.
"Enough! Lions are not meant to lead you chose to be a guardian now be one bring this situation under control or we'll send someone who will!" the male tiger said.
Usawa turned away not bothering to bow this time while Machafuko let a growl escape from his throat.
The two of them left the cave both appalled and enraged at the councils disregard for the pride inhabitants.
"We can't keep allowing them to mistreat the people the way they are" Machafuko said.
"And what would we do brother we can't just overthrow them by force" Usawa said which wasn't entirely true they could but it would probably cause a lot of problems consequences that Usawa wasn't willing to risk.
Machafuko pondered his brothers words, "we do nothing let the people determine the future isn't that why we do what we do so they can live happily" Machafuko asked.
Can the people be trusted?" Usawa asked.
"Of course they can yes they unleashed a great deal of chaos but they're already rising above it" Machafuko answered.
"I agree we can't just sit back but I'm not sure what action we should take" Usawa stated.
"Do what you feel is right but I'm taking action before things start to escalate" Machafuko told him.
Machafuko turned away making his way back to the lands. Usawa watched his brother depart he wondered just what he was going to do? Machafuko had always been reckless but he was right the council wasn't doing anything heck had they ever done anything nearly all of their accomplishments were do to Machafuko and him, without them the council would've collapsed long ago the lands needed new leadership someone who actually cared if they survived but who could take that role.
Usawa would let the lands determine that after they brought them all back under control first. Usawa stared out at the lands so much he and his brother had accomplished they both wanted the same things but deep down Usawa knew they completely differed on the ideals they believed Machafuko believed in the people regardless what they did, Usawa however had no faith in them he cared about them but they gave him no reason to trust them least of all with control how many lands would have burned to ash if Usawa and Machafuko hadn't brought them under control too many, and that was where they were divided Machafuko wanted to leave it all in the hands of the people while Usawa thought that was suicidal, and deep down they both knew their different ideals would bring them into conflict.
