CandyCane21, thanks for the review. I haven't abandoned Normandy just came up with this idea that I had to write. Enjoy chapter two.
A few weeks has passed and Sarabi was able to return to her duties. Such as leading the hunts, Batini and Uru were watching the princes as Aasim was helping Mufasa patrol along with the cheetah and leopard guard. On the hunting field Sarabi was leading a hunt with her best friends, Sarafina and Sienna. The three lionesses were trailing a herd of zebras for their morning hunt. Sarabi signaled Sienna to chase the herd to Sarafina's spot, where the three of them will take down the zebra that Sarabi cut off from the herd.
The brownish lioness took off into the tall green grass at the signal of Sarabi's tail. But the hunt didn't go as planned. The herd rushed by along with the cut off zebra. Sarabi and Sienna frustratingly watched the zebra that they cut off rejoin its herd. Sarabi stomped her paw before moving her head with scanning orange eyes.
"Sarafina!" Sarabi heard a soft roar, she and Sienna shared a look before running towards the sound.
The two lionesses ran through the grass to stop short at the sight before them. In front of Sarabi and Sienna was Sarafina but with two small creamy bundles of fur.
"Fina..." Sarabi sighed. "You can't just run off like that."
Sarafina lowered her head. "I'm sorry, Rabi. But I heard these little ones and had to get to them."
Sarabi folded her dark brown rimmed ears before perking them. "Fine. Go get them settled."
Sarafina embraced the dark beige queen before grabbing the cubs and ran off. Sienna watched her go before turning to Sarabi.
"I guess we try again later."
Sarabi sighed deeply. "You lead the hunt. I am going with my mother to start Zira's hunting lessons."
Sienna nodded before heading towards priderock with Sarabi following after her.
...
"No! No, no, no!" Scar shook his head. "I will not be responsible for more cubs. Females at that."
Sarafina sighed heavily before glaring at the rich brown lion. "I don't agree with your plans. But because I love you, I do what I can. So far I gave you two strong sons and now you have three lionesses to train along with them. Plus these allies you have...sooo,"
Scar sneered in annoyance. "Fine. They may stay but I won't nothing to do with them. That goes for Faye's daughter as well."
Sarafina shook her head before heading over to the part of the cave where her five cubs laid asleep. The dark cream lioness looked her cubs over before her blue eyes landed on the two newest members, the twin sisters she named Tiffu and Nala.
...
A few more weeks passed and the cubs were old enough to go out. Running out of the cave on priderock, first out of the cave was the oldest prince. The golden yellow cub stood at the peak, his red tuff tossed in the morning breeze. Followed after him was the second prince, who had light golden fur sticking up on his head.
"Wow." the brothers said in awe.
A deep laugh caused the princes to look and see their father exiting the cave. The princes ran towards the king with excitement in their eyes.
"Dad, when you are going to show us the kingdom?" Kion asked. His orange eyes full of curiosity.
Mufasa chuckled, "That would be today."
Kion and Kaidan jumped for joy before they followed their father up the winding slope. Once on the summit of priderock, Mufasa sat with his sons on either side of him.
"When I was your age, your grandmother took me up here." Mufasa started.
Kaidan moved his brown eyes from the kingdom bathing in golden light to his father. "What about Uncle Scar?"
Mufasa inhaled and exhaled before looking at his son. "Your uncle wasn't born at the time. He came along a few months later." the golden lion then stood with a smile on his muzzle. "How about we see the kingdom?"
Kion and Kaidan jumped up with big smiles before heading down the slope with Mufasa behind them.
