The sun had started to rise over the horizon. Spreading her golden rays across the serengeti. In the middle of the plains stood a unique, mountain structure. Just as the sun began to warm the flat rocks on pride rock a young bulky golden lion stormed out of the cave. Followed by his mother and the queen of the Pride Lands.

"Mufasa, it's not the end of the world!" the brownish lioness yelled.

But the prince wasn't listening. He walked over to the peak and started to pace. His ungraceful movements stirred up his bright red mane. "It's not fair!"

The lioness sighed heavily, her green eyes full of symphony. "I know. But you have a month until you find a lioness yourself."

Mufasa stopped pacing and glared at his mother. "That's impossible! I can't find love that fast!"

Uru was about to say something but the mother and son was joined by a well built golden yellow lion. His amber eyes bore into his eldest. "Mufasa I understand why you're upset but marrying Zira is not the end of the world."

The golden lion huffed even though he wanted to growl. So to cool down he turned and jumped down the rocky slope before running off into the lush green grass. The queen sighed heavily before leaning her head on her mate's shoulder.

"What are we going to do, Ahadi?" the golden yellow king moved his amber eyes on the younger lioness. "Mufasa don't want the throne and Taka...wants it to much."

Ahadi sighed long and heavy before nuzzling the queen. "Everything will turn out alright."

But deep down he even knew that wasn't in stone.

-O-

Mufasa stalked through the kingdom he's so pose to rule. But in order to do that, he has to marry Zira. The last lioness he ever consider being his queen. Besides the fact she can't hunt and has a bit of anger issues. But Zira is obsessed with his younger brother, Taka. They are both in their teens but age has nothing to do with his feelings. The golden lion was brought out of his head by someone calling his name.

"Mufasa!"

Mufasa shook his head before looking to the side to see a well built light peach lion standing a few feet away. "Abdul. What are you doing out here?"

Abdul stepped forward with concern in his light blue eyes. "I'm worried. You really blew up earlier. Are you alright?"

Mufasa sighed heavily before looking away from the younger lion. "My mother parents want me to marry Zira. I can't do it."

A warm breeze blew by ruffling up the lions' red and light brown manes. Abdul nodded before focusing on the water hole where a herd of elephants was enjoying a refreshing swim. "It could of been worst. But instead you will have a beautiful young lioness."

The golden lion shook his head. "That's not what I'm looking for. Yes Zira is beautiful but she is not for me. She is rude and has a serious anger problem. Something I don't need in my queen."

Abdul sighed before, unsure how much he help the future king now. "So, what are you going to do?"

Mufasa inhaled and exhaled before turning around. "I don't know. I need to think."

The light peach lion nodded before watching his friend and adopted brother walk away until he disappeared into the tall grasses.
