A/N: This is my new fanfic and is dedicated to one of my best friends. Please enjoy and review! CREDIT TO DISNEY!
A young lion with a caramel colored coat and dark brown mane was patrolling his kingdom only to come across a group of animals he has never seen before.
"What are you doing on my land?", he inquired with a stern, yet gentle voice. One of the females spoke with desperation.
"Please help us! My mate is hurt...". She then moved aside to reveal a male with one of his paws almost torn off.
"Come with me and when we arrive at my home, you can tell me what kind of creatures you are.". The lion helped the two females lift the injured male to the safety of their shaman Kupona.
"My name is Kioo . My mate Shujaa and I are wolves."
"My name is Paka and I am a serval".
"My name is Bahari and I am a raven."
"'My name is Malka and I-.".
"It's very nice to meet you all. My name is Aina. I am King Malka's mother and we are lions.", a voice coming from behind us stated.
"Mom! When did you get here?" Malka asked with a smirk.
"We just came back from the hunt and I came to let you know it's time to eat. Unless of course, you'd like to starve?".
"Come on, let's eat.", the king offers warmly. After the meal, Kioo, Paka, Bahari and Malka went to check on Shujaa. When they arrived at Kupona's tree, they found that Shujaa was completely healed.
"Shujaa! You're ok, I was so worried!", Kioo cried with joy.
"I'm as good as new thanks to Kupona.", he answered nuzzling his mate.
"How did you like the zebra we sent you?"
"It was delicious, your majesty. Thank you.". The wolf bowed respectfully. Malka chuckled softly.
"You can call me Malka.". He looked up at the sun which was almost gone from the sky. "Let's head back, it's getting late. It gets very cold out here as well. Thank you for your service Kupona.".
"Pleasure is mine, sire.". The group headed back to the cave in which the lions stayed.
"Whoa! Akili, Kali, Uzuri! Be careful, will you?"
"Yes Mama!, came three young voices in unison. The group heard this as they entered the cave.
"Bro! You're home!", the cubs cheered as they jumped on the lion king.
"Yes kids, I'm home and I brought friends.". Uzuri was the first to speak up.
"What are they? Where did they come from? How did they get here?"
"Kioo and Shujaa are wolves, Paka is a serval and Bahari is a raven.", Malka told his siblings.
"We were chased from our land by a very cruel creature. I believe he was a lion like all of you, only he was evil. That's all I will say in front of the young ones.", Kioo said solemnly.
"Come cubs, it's time for sleep."
"But mom...".
"No buts, you know how cranky you get when you don't sleep.", Aina commanded sternly.
The cubs nuzzled all of them good night and went to the resting den with the other lionesses and cubs.
"Good night everyone.", the queen dowager said warmly.
"Good night.", they all said in unison. And with that, the tan furred lioness took her leave.
"So, what did this lion look like?", Malka inquired. This time, it was Shujaa who answered.
"He had a white pelt with white hair on his head and soulless black eyes. The hair that's on a male lion's head is called a mane, correct?".
"Yes. What was this lion's name?".
"Ibilisi", Paka responded. The king's face lost all of its color as he spoke in sheer horror.
"Ibilisi?! I thought he was just a legend. My father used to tell me stories about how cruel he was.".
"He is very real, I assure you. He has done unspeakable things.", Bahari chimed in.
"We're lucky we're safe. He almost killed all of us. I hope our families are ok...". Kioo's voice began to break as tears filled her hazel eyes.
"I'm sure they'll be ok. In the meantime, you can stay with us as long as you need.", the young lion offered embracing the crying wolf.
"Thank you so much! We are forever grateful!", the female wolf cried thankfully. They were all exhausted so they headed to the resting den save for Malka and Kioo.
"Kioo...are you ok?".
"Yeah, I just don't want to sleep...".
"Well, we can talk if you want.".
"Sure, thank you Malka.". The two creatures talked until dawn.
