Sovu-Chapter 1
Sovu, the son of Kovu, was born when Kovu was just a teenage lion following under Zira's commands. Zira, Kovu's mother, had told Kovu months before that he needed to ensure that he would have a heir that would help him rule the pride lands once Kovu killed Simba. Kovu had believed his mother to know best, so he ensured he would have an heir with one of the female outlanders that admired Kovu. Few months later, Sovu was born and Kovu would have a successor. For the first few weeks, Kovu made an appearance here and then, but soon disappeared quickly. Sovu's mother would hold him close and tell him how his daddy was going to be king of both outlanders and pridelanders. Right after Sovu was 3 weeks old, his mother disappeared. Gone. No food, no understandment of how to hunt, just nothing. That is, until Zira's 3rd son, Cuto, came into the picture and found a weak, starving Sovu at his feet. Zira and Cuto talked about the cub.
"Who is this cub?"- Cuto
"I don't know but he seems pretty pathetic."- Zira said as she padded off to see Kovu. Cuto took Sovu by his scruff and padded off to lay him in a small den. The cub woke up and looked at Cuto.
"Who are you?" He said too tired to move.
"My name is Cuto, I believe you are Sovu. You have Kovu's eyes."
"Yes."
Cuto pushed a slab of meat over to the cub and chuckled softly as Sovu tore into the meat then fell back asleep. Cuto sighed as the cub curled up against him.
"Oh, Mufasa" he said looking to the stars "what great plans you have for us all." Cuto then soon fell asleep.
