Hi my name is Iris and I'm 10 years old you're probably wondering what I look like so let me tell you.
I have long wavy blond hair that stops at my waist, bright light blue eyes, tan skin, my outfit consist of a red tank top under a blue sleeves jacket and tan shorts along with blue and white sneakers.
Now that you know what I look like let me tell you how I met my new friends, alright time to get this show on the road!
Iris pov: I can't believe that I'm going to Africa with my parents and this time it's not a business trip! "This is gonna be so cool!" I whispered with a smile as I looked out the window.
"So Iris. After we check into the hotel how's about we go see the animals?" My mother Darcy asked me. "Sounds like a plan!" I said to her with a big grin.
"Excellent! Then it's all settled." My Father Riven said to us, I have never been so excited in my entire life this trip is gonna be a blast I just know it. "It's gonna be amazing!" I thought to myself.
Once we got to the hotel Mom, Dad and I went up to our room then packed what we would need for outing now the backpack I was using could hold tons of stuff and never feel heavy at all it was amazing what I could put in it.
"Iris time to go." Mother called for me. "Coming!" I called back to her, after we rented a jeep we hit the road the led to the savanna. "It's so beautiful." Mother said to us with a huge smile.
"It really is." Father said to her, I nodded in agreement soon we stopped the jeep so we could walk around a little bit I walked a little too far and saw a lion cub that was hurt. "Are you alright?" I asked the cub.
I got the cub's attention and he started to growl. "It's alright. I won't hurt you." I said to the cub, he calmed down but kept watching me as I got out the first aid kit I brought with me.
"I'm going to bandage up that cut, okay?" I said softly to the cub, I think the cub understood me since he held out his injured paw so I got to work I cleaned the wound then bandaged it and for good measure I used my healing magic.
"It's a good thing I'm a mage." I said to the cub, once I was done with the cub's wound I put the first aid kit back in my bag while I was doing that I hadn't see the honey badger, hippo, cheetah or cattle egret come over till I looked up.
"I'm guessing these are your friends?" I asked the cub, he blinked at me. "I'd better go." I said while looking at the animals, before I could turn around I heard my Mother and Father's scream. "Ahhhhhh!"
"Mother! Father!" I yelled out with worry, I ran to the direction the screams came from without noticing the cub and his friends following me. "Please. Let them be alright!" I thought as I ran.
Third person pov: Kion and his friends followed Iris to where the scream came from. "Ono! Fly ahead and see what caused the scream!" Kion said to Ono. "Affirmative!" Ono said to Kion.
Ono flew ahead of his friends and Iris using his sight Ono saw that Janja, Cheezi and Chungu had killed Iris's parents. "Hapana!" Ono cried out, he then flew back to the others with bad news.
"Kion! Janja and his clan attacked the human's parents." Ono said to his friends. "What!" They cried out. "What're we gonna do? We can't let the human see her parents." Fuli said to her friends.
"We have to stop the hyenas." Kion said to his friends, they nodded in agreement. "Till the Pride Lands end." Kion started. "Lion guard defend!" He and friends said together as they charged at the hyenas.
"The lion guard!" Cheezi said in fear. "Let's go fur-brains. We're done with our meal anyway." Janja said to his clan, the hyenas left for outlands just as the guard stopped at the bodies of Iris's parents.
"They got away! What do we do?" Bunga asked Kion, before he could say anything the guard heard Iris. "Mother! Father! Please wake up!" Iris said with tears streaming down her face.
She tried to use her healing magic on them but it didn't work. "No. You can't be gone! You promised you'd always be there for me!" Iris screamed/cried out, she was alone now in Africa with no other relatives to take care of her.
"What should we do?" Beshte asked while looking at Iris with sadness. "We should." Kion started but was cut off by a lion's roar all six of them looked up.
The clouds started to turn dark then surrounded the guard and human. "What's happening?" Ono asked asked his friends in worry.
Just then a light came down and hit Iris. "What's going on!?" Iris screamed out, she was lifted up into the air and not only gained the mark of the lion guard on her left shoulder but her outfit changed.
Iris was now wearing a light purple tank top with a pink flower on it under a longer light blue sleeveless hoodie that has white on the sides along white shorts.
Her shoes were the same along with her eyes and her hair was now in a ponytail. "W-what in the world just happened?" Iris asked herself
"What just happened?" Fuli asked as Iris was brought back down. "I'm not sure. We'd better take the human to Rafiki." Kion said to his friends.
So after getting Iris's attention they took her back to the lair of the lion guard without anyone seeing them. "Good to be back here." Ono said to his friends.
"I'm not so sure King Simba will like this." Bunga said to his friends. "Haukuna Matata Bunga. We had to bring the human to a safe place." Kion said to Bunga.
It's too bad none of them saw Kiara who had been eavesdropping the whole time she then left to tell Simba what's happened.
Iris sat down and Kion had Ono go get Rafiki a few minutes later Rafiki came into the lair with King Simba who was not happy.
"Kion! Why did you bring a human here to the Pride Lands?" Simba asked his son with a stern voice while looking at Kion, his friends and Iris.
Kion told Rafiki and Simba what had happened earlier up 'til now. "And now she has the mark of the lion guard." Kion finished the story.
"It would seem that Mufasa has chosen a magic user." Rafiki said to everyone with a giggle as he looked over Iris to make sure she wasn't hurt.
"A magic user?" Fuli asked Rafiki, he then told everyone about how the kings of the past would choose a sixth member for the lion guard.
And that she would be born with magic and also come from the world of man to help bring harmony to the pridelands.
"We'll take the human to Pridelands Peak tomorrow so that she maybe blessed by the kings." Rafiki said to Simba and the guard.
"The light blessing? That's for royals only." Simba said to Rafiki with a stern voice."I forbid this." Simba said as he looked Iris who looked at him in fear.
Rafiki giggled then hit Simba on the head. "Ow!" Simba said as he rubbed the sore spot. "You can not forbid this just as you can not stop your father's choice." Rafiki said.
Kion pov: Once Rafiki left the lair Dad turned to me. "She sleeps outside tonight." Dad said to me, I was about to protest when I got a stern look from my Dad before he left the lair.
"What now?" Fuli asked me. "For now. Let's go on patrol." I said to my friends. "But what about the human?" Bunga asked me, I looked at the human and she looked at me.
"She'll be safer here." I said to him, I think the human understood me sine she didn't move from where she was sitting.
After we patrolled and stopped the hyenas from hurting anyone my friends and I went back to the lair where we found the human asleep.
"Today must have really taken a toll on her." Beshte said to us and we knew what meant by that since we were there.
"I think we should leave here in the lair since a storms coming." Ono said to me, I nodded in agreement and Fuli volunteered to stay with the human.
"I wonder what her name is." Bunga said to us as we were walking to the entrance the of lair all of us have been wondering that same thing.
"That's a really good question. Guess we'll find out in the morning." I said to Bunga, after that all of except Fuli and the human left the lair.
"So, how's the human?" Kiara asked me, I looked at her and that's when it hit me, she was the one who told Dad about the human.
"You told Dad about the human. Didn't you?" I asked her. "I did. But you shouldn't have brought the human here." Kiara said to me, I would've said something back to her but I knew it was pointless.
Ono had been right about the storm sine it was happening right now and I couldn't sleep because of the storm mixed with today's events but soon I heard singing.
"Where's it coming from?" I thought to myself, I followed the voice to the lion guard lair and found the human was the one who was singing.
[Play Magic in my heart from Winx Club]
[Iris]
Oh ah oh oh oh
Lonely mountains and tragic spells
Forbidden potions from haunted realms
Seas of stardust light years apart
Feel the dragons that'll rip your heart
I faced them all and I survived
To get here as you arrived
And when I heard your voice and song
I knew that I finally belong
Now I know we'll never part
'Cause your magic lives inside my heart
And we'll always be together
'Cause your magic lives inside my heart forever and ever!
"She must be thinking about her parents." I thought as I looked at the human, I really hope that she'll be alright and that Dad will accept her into the pride since she's now a member of the guard.
"I'd better get back to bed." I thought to myself, as I left the lair I hadn't seen my Dad who also had heard the human singing I really hope that things will work out.
Alright! First chapter is up! I don't own the song I used for this chapter, please review and no flames!
