Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my new Lion King story, Choices. This is of course a alternative universe, hope you enjoy.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but a few Ocs.
The sun had started to rise, the animals lifted their heads. The sound of a lion's roar caused the diurnal animals to start their journey through the lush green land as the nocturnal animals disappeared into their homes. Birds of different colours took to the sapphire sky. As the rest journeyed by groups or herds. In the middle of the green land, the Pridelands sat a kopje. At the peak stood the king of the Pridelands. His golden fur glowed in the sunlight as his red mane tossed gently in the morning breeze. Besides him stood a larger built creamy beige lion. His dark brown mane blew in in the wind. A pair of water buffaloes parted and a greyish mandrill passed through. He climbed up to the peak where him and the king embraced. Then the two lions lead the mandrill to a cave entrance where a dark beige lioness laid, on each side was a lioness looking on with proud smiles.
In the queen's paws were two newborn cubs. The oldest was a golden yellow. The second was a light gold, a mixture of the king and queen's family. The mandrill smiled before waving his staff over the princes before cracking a groud on his staff open. He used the insides and marked the princes before sprinkling dust on their heads. With a nod from the king the mandrill picked up the princes and walked to the peak, where he thrusted the princes in the air. The animals cheered, the zebras and other herd animals stomped the ground. The elephants trumpeted, before they all bowed when the sun began to shine on the princes.

Queen Sarabi laid on the royal platform as the pride and her family congratulate her. Besides her was her greyish tan mother, Batini and on the other side was her golden yellow mother in law, the former Queen Uru. Besides Batini was the creamy beige lion, Aasim. Batini and Aasim smiled lovingly at their grandsons while a small pale tan cub sat between Aasim's paws with interest in her brown eyes.
"They are so small,"
Sarabi chuckled before giving her little sister a nuzzle. "So were you at one point, Zira."
Batini rubbed her head against her youngest daughter before moving her orange eyes on her eldest. "What are their names?"
Sarabi shared a look with Mufasa before she turned her orange eyes on her parents. "The future king is Kion and the second born is Kaidan."
Batini scrunched up her nose. "Aren't you worried about another Taka repeat?"
Uru was adoring her grandsons when her friend caught her attention. The golden yellow lioness lifted her green eyes. "I take full responsibility for the actions of my sister. She...wanted the life I was given and she was willing to tare her nephew down to get it."
Mufasa shook his head. "Mother, you wasn't to blame. Aunt Udina was the way she was because of Grandfather Mohatu playing favourites. Things will be different..." the golden king looked at his sons and silently thought, I hope..

Away from priderock was a cave that the King's younger and only brother, Taka who now goes by Scar for the scar going across the rich brown lion's left eye. The prince was chewing on a bone when his ears perked at the sound of a cub mew. Scar growled before returning to naw on the bone. The mewing grew louder until the mews turned into cries.
"Taka, it's not going to go away by ignoring it."
Scar growled before looking up to see his dark cream mate, Sarafina. Her blue eyes on the bundle of fur in the corner of the cave. She shook her head before she walked over to the small creamy gold cub.
Scar sneered. "I can't believe Faye left her on me. I would of been ditched her if she wasn't my daughter."
Sarafina rolled her blue eyes. "Your daughter name is Felicity, and Faye gave her life to make sure she lives."
Scar watched his mate nurse his daughter. "Why are you so concerned about her? She isn't your daughter."
Sarafina sighed before looking at her mate. "No. But she's your daughter. Felicity is the same age as Kovu and Malka."
Scar knew when he lost a argument. He's even considering it because Felicity will bring in allies when the time comes. He'll be king, one way or another he'll take what's rightfully his.
