A/N:I have deleted Golden Reign to write a better story. I didn't really like the plot and came up with this. So here's the first chapter of The Assassaint.

The cool night breeze blew through her pale cream fur. The moonlight casted a white glow over her exhausted body. As a small voice called out for her back legs.

"Mom?"

She grunted before casting her bright amber eyes towards the voice to a two month old tannish brown cub.

"Where are we going?"

She looked at her son before looking at the dark blue sky and sighed. She lightly placed the few weeks old golden-tan cub down before looking ahead. Cluster of green grass waved back and forth in the gentle breeze.

"Any where but here."

The tannish brown cub moved his amber eyes to his mother in confusion. "What was wrong with Queen Zira's pride?"

She took in a sharp breath before replying. "Everything. It's not safe and we need to move."

The male cub sighed as his mother grabbed his younger sibling and continued to walk through the cracked barren land. But the small family was not aware of a pair of dark green eyes watching from the shadows.

-O-

A golden orange cub ran out of the cave and took a deep breath before releasing with a smile. Her amber eyes bright as she watched the animals of her father's kingdom start their day.

"Kiara."

The princess sighed deeply before looking towards the cave entrance to see her father. The large golden furred lion sat by the young lioness. His amber eyes locked on the rising sun.

"I know what you're going to say. I'm still on punishment...yeah, yeah, yeah."

The male's body rocked as a deep chuckle left his throat. "I was going to say that I use to do this with my father."

Kiara looked at her father with interest in her eyes.

"Yes you are still on punishment but would you like to join me for my morning rounds?"

Kiara smiled lightly and nodded. It's better than being stuck in the cave all day. The lion king smiled before standing and heading down the rocky slope with his heir at his red tail tuff. The savannah grass welcome the royal pair as they strolled through. The sun was still rising and warming their backs. As father and daughter moved through the land the animals bowed to show their respect. The sound of flapping wings caused the king to look up and see his father's and now his royal majordomo.

"Morning Zazu."

The blue hornbill landed on a nearby rock with a bow. "Morning King Simba and Princess Kiara."

"Morning Zazu."

Simba smiled at his daughter before turning to his messenger. Kiara wasn't into the morning report. A blue butterfly caught her interest. With a small growl the golden orange cub scampered off after the fluttering insect. Kiara chased after the flying bug towards some tall grasses. She was about to pounce when she tripped over a rock burried into the ground. Which sent the princess rolling through the tall grasses. Something soft stopped her tumble. She shook her head to clear her vision before looking around. Her amber eyes landed on a body of a tannish brown cub. She smiled till she seen something red leaking from the side and the cub's chest wasn't rising and falling. Tears welled up as her ears pinned against her head.

"Daddy!"

-O-

Not far away Simba sat listening to the morning report. He wasn't really paying attention and nodded every now and then. His ears flickered at the sound of a familiar voice. His eyes went wide as he stood and ran towards the sound without a thought. Zazu flapped his wings and flew to the sky. Shadowing the king. The two found Kiara shaking. Simba approached his cub but stopped when he seen the lifeless body of a pale cream lioness and a small tannish brown cub.

"What happened here?"

The hornbill hovered in front of the king. "Sir, I didn't see them before."

Simba looked back at the bodies that had blood leaking from them. The golden lion raised a paw and covered his daughter's eyes.

"Find Jumbo and some cheetahs and buried them."

Zazu nodded before flying off towards the elephant herd. Simba looked back at the bloody bodies and sighed before picking up Kiara and made a quick haste back to Pride Rock.
