Tonight Before ThisMorning
Chapter 1
It was a dark winter's night when King Ahdi's first son was born. He was the son of Ahdi and Uru, a lioness from beyond the border of the Pridelands, who Ahdi loved deeply. The king's wife, Aquilla, wasn't happy about this. "What a lovely son we have, Uru." Ahdi said lovingly. "A great king he'll be one day."
Uru replied.
"WHAT!" Aquilla shouted in disbelief. She walked out of the dark corner she had been sitting in and confronted her husband. "This little creep will never be king!" She looked down at the sweet little cub in Uru's arms, and he looked back at her, smiling. She snarled at him. "He's not even of royal bloodline! Have you forgotten the reason you're king to start with? Have you forgotten that I, the princes of the Pridelands, was the one you loved in the first place!?" "My dear Aquilla, please-" "DON"T DEAR AQUILLA ME!" Shouted the queen in pure rage.
"But darling, I still love you," said Ahdi, with a kind, loving expression in his eyes. This made Aquilla smirk. "Really? Then why don't we have a son? A rightful hair to the throne?" Aquilla started to walk back to her corner. "The season is not right. The heads have left and-" "And you were glad to see here, weren't you?" "I… err, guess you could say that."
Then Uru spoke up. "If it's of any use to you, I recall that you're father wasn't a great king at all." This drew gasps of shock and whispers from the other lionesses who were in the cave. "He let the lands dry out, and drank what little water that was left himself, and drove the last of the wilderbeast away by killing many of their young ruthlessly, and not eating even half of them!" "SILENCE! You stupid piece of grime!" She slashed Uru across the back, wich made her yell, and made the cub in her arms cry. "Sweet little Taka, don't be scared" she whispered to him softly. Aquilla walked back to her corner.
"That little wimp will never be king…"
