Chapter .2.
Taka groaned as he woke up it was early but he was going to get up. Some had already left the den. He walks out the cave and decided to get a drink. He sees Vitani his daughter at the watering hole.
She looked nervously at Scar or Taka as he was called now.
"You want to talk Vitani?" Taka asks
"This is your place", Vitani says
"Let's go for a walk. What has happened to you since I last saw you as a cub?" Taka asks as they walk
"We were banished to the Outlands after Zira killed Kopa. We didn't know he was alive until yesterday", Vitani says, "What happened to your leg?"
"A battle that I will tell at a different time. What happened to Nuka?" Taka asks
"He was killed while trying to fulfil Zira's plan on killing Simba", Vitani says
Taka sighs, "I should have treated him right. I have many regrets in my life Vitani. My regret with you is not being there for you. And for being so evil"
"It is ok. I forgive you", Vitani says
Taka nuzzles her.
"Have you found yourself a mate yet?" Taka asks as they walk back
"No. I thought once it would be Kopa but he is mated now", Vitani says
"You will find one daughter. I am sure", Taka says
They arrive back at the dens and everyone was up besides Nala and Simba.
"Kiara, Kion, Koda will you three come with me? You too Kovu", Taka says
"Will you be alright?" Kopa asks worriedly
"I am only walking. I am not an invalid. I will be back soon. Make sure you keep your eyes on Simba and Nala", Taka orders Kopa
"I will", Kopa says
Kiara, Kovu, Kion and Koda walk with Taka in silence for a few minutes.
"How did you get here?" Taka asks
"Zira took over the Pridelands that was how Mum and Dad got hurt", Kiara says
"Mum and Dad thought she killed Kopa. So they were banished up into recently", Kion says, "They never told us about Kopa till recently"
"I was always told I was to kill Simba to be like you", Kovu says head down
"What changed your mind about killing Simba?" Taka asks
"Kiara. I feel in love with her. There was a fight and Zira went into the water we fought she was dead", Kovu says
"Zira is still alive?" Taka asks shocked
"Yes. How did you get out of your situation?" Koda asks
"I honestly don't know. I woke up here and this is where I have stayed", Taka replies
"Are you sorry for what you put our parents through?" Kiara asks
"Yes I am. Kovu I am sorry for what your mother did", Taka says
"It was a long time ago", Kovu says
"You are the son of my heart Kovu", Taka says as they all walk back, "I better take you to the King and Queen of this Pride"
Taka takes them to where the King and Queen were. Kopa was sitting done with cubs playing between his paws. A White lion was next to him licking a cub clean.
"King Crius, Queen Nestori of the Empire clan. This is Crown Princess Katiryi and she is mated to Kopa", Taka says, "Crius, Nestori these are Princess Kiara and her mate Kovu, Prince Kion, and Prince Koda of the Prideland pride"
"Welcome to our lands. I hope our shaman Alua has been taking good care of your parents?" King Crius asks
"Alua has been great. Do you need anyone of us to hunt with you?" Kiara asks
"No. We have enough lionesses to hunt. Just make sure your pride rest", Queen Nestori says kindly
"Thank you", Kiara says
"When your parents are better you all better tell us your story. We know bits but we would like the first hand knowledge", King Crius says
"We will", Kovu says bowing with respect
"I also look forward to hearing it. Even if you have told me most of it", Taka says lying down
Kiara nods and they walk back over to the caves their pride was using. Kopa was there waiting for them.
"Kiara I would like to talk to you", Kopa says
"Ok what about?" Kiara asks sitting down next to Kopa in the cave
"Our you ok with being the leader of the Pridelands?" Kopa asks
"Daddy has been preparing me. But it was always strict. He only told us recently about you Kopa. Anyway it is not like you can lead the Pridelands", Kiara says
"Your right. I am going to be Prince Consort here. Are you happy with Kovu?" Kopa asks
"I love him with all my heart. Why?" Kiara asks
"I want to make sure my little sister is happy. As long as my family is happy I am happy", Kopa says
"Koda and I are leading the Lion Guard", Kion says to his big brother
Kopa smiles, "The is great. You will both do great"
"Kopa how is Scar treating you?" Sarabi asks
"Taka is fine. He treats me like his son", Kopa says
"Kopa", a lioness says from the entrance to the cave
"Yes?" Kopa asks
"Grandfather wants to see you", the lioness says
"I'm coming", Kopa says getting up, "See you all later"
Kopa leaves and Kiara sighs.
"Alright?" Sarafina asks her granddaughter
"Yeah. Just thinking about what Mum and Dad will do when they find out about Kopa and well Scar", Kiara replies
"So are we all", Vitani says
