Hello readers , I know that a lot of you are waiting for the next chapter of Innocence III. But I came across a idea and had to write it. Please remember to leave a review, thank you.

Prologue: The Birth of the Royal Three

The bright golden sun had started to rise from behind the horizon as the animals lifted their heads when a warm and welcoming breeze blew by them. Carrying dust, feathers as well as a song. A white and orange egret flew over the herds towards the kopje that stood proud in the heart of the kingdom, the Pridelands. The egret landed on the peak and bowed where two lions stood and smiled at the white bird that was known as the keenest of sight. One lion was younger than the other and current king of the Pridelands. He was covered in dark brown fur, had a darker brown mane and his bright green eyes shined with joy and love. The other lion was older and was the former king, he had golden fur, bright orange eyes and a rich red mane that blew in the morning breeze. The two lions turned to see the kingdom's sherman and a long time friend to the royal family. Behind him was two lionesses and a lion. The lion was younger than the former king but a bit older than the king. He had bright golden fur like the former king, a dark brown mane and rich green eyes. He held a brown bundle of fur in his chestnut muzzle. The golden lion was marked with pink scars on his shoulders and he had a notch in his right ear. One of the lionesses, with golden orange fur and amber eyes was the current queen by royal blood. Held a golden brown bundle of fur in her creamy muzzle. The other lioness was older than the queen and the young lion, she was covered in beautiful soft peachy cream fur. Her green eyes, from her mother's side shined brightly, she was the former queen and held a light golden bundle in her creamy muzzle.

The greyish-blue mandrill grabbed the golden brown newborn from the queen and walked to the peak where the two lions moved aside. Once at the peck the mandrill thrusted the small cub up casuing the animals to cheer. The young golden lion and the peachy cream lioness stepped up and raised their heads so that the animals below could see the two other royal cubs. The clouds parted letting a bright sunlight shined down on the three cubs. One by one, the animals bowed as the golden orange lioness leaned against the dark brown male as they proudly watched their children be presented to the kingdom.

Chapter One: Meet the Heirs

The sounds of tiny mews filled the cave. As the three cubs fussed about as they crawled to find milk. The queen and her cubs has gained a bit of audience since the ceremony. A heavily pregnant creamy lioness gazed adoringly at the cubs.

"They are so precious, Kiara."

Kiara looked at her side to see that her cubs had found her tits. "That they are, Tiffu."

Tiffu moved her dark green eyes from her friend to the cave entrance, her ears dropped when she saw a light tanned lioness enter the cave to with a small golden tan bundle hanging from her muzzle. "Vitani." the creamy lioness said quartly.

Vitani glared at the younger lioness before moving her pale blue eyes towards the queen. She laid her cub down and smiled at the nursing cubs. "Who's the future ruler?"

"We are about to find out." the three young lionesses looked to see Kiara's parents, the golden lion and the dark brown lion. The golden, red maned lion who had spoken, nuzzled his daughter. "I'm so proud of you."

"As am I." the peachy cream lioness purred as she rubbed her head against her daughter's head.

Kiara smiled at her parents before looking at her mate. "Kovu. What do you think?"

The dark brown male shook his head. "I can't say, Kiara. It's a tough choice."

Kiara sighed deeply before looking at the young golden, green eyed lion. "Kopa. You're my advisor, what do you think?"

Kopa looked at his sister's cubs. "The law states that the oldest is the crowned heir."

Vitani rolled her eyes. "If that is the case you would be king."

Kopa looked at the light tanned lioness with a hard expression. "Yes, but I didn't want to rule. I rather be apart of the guard."

Kiara nodded before turning her amber eyes on her cubs. "It's settled. Princess Almasi will be the next queen of the Pridelands."

Kovu nuzzled his mate as everyone smiled. The peachy cream lioness purred before picking up one the cubs that began to mew.

"He's handsome. What's his name, dear?"

Kiara looked at her dark brown son in her mother's colorless paws. "I haven't thought about it. Kovu, you have any idea what to name our son?"

Kovu lowered his head to get level with his son to stare into bright green eyes of his own. "How about Sirius?"

Kopa clicked his teeth as he tried it out. "Prince Sirius, leader of the Lion Guard." the golden lion chuckled before walking over and nuzzled his nephew, "I like it."

Kiara giggled before looking at her light golden son in her father's paws. "Dad, what about you?"

Simba looked at his grandson and couldn't help but to feel thankful. To Timon and Pumbaa, that sadly passed away a few weeks ago. To his mother who died protecting his other son from hyenas. Thankful for his dad, how he gave his life for him. He's thankful for his daughter, who showed him the right way. He's thankful for this little gift life gave. The former king shook his head before smiling at his daughter. "Kipawa."

Kovu smiled before nuzzling his youngest son. "Kipawa, it is."

Vitani stood and nodded her head. "It's best I be heading to my private den. Amara is getting fussy." she picked up her golden tanned daughter and walked out of the cave but not before winking at Kopa.

Tiffu growled before standing and headed further into the cave. Kiara looked after her friend sadly before tending to her cubs.
