Young
Young for an instant was glowing brightly with a light that seemed to show out from his insides. He then dissolved into a swirling mass of sparkling sand. The sand flowed like a ribbon down towards Pride Rock. It made its way downward through the sky and slipped into the little rock cave where Kopa stayed. The partials rearranged themselves into the lion cub. Young cocked his head as he inspected the cave. It seemed to be a pile of rocks from the outside but from the inside you could see how all the rocks came together to form a lean-to large enough for one lion to curl up and sleep. Then Young located Kopa in the corner of the small space.
"Hi" he said with a happy smile. Kopa whipped around to face this strange new lion in space. He had been crying and had not seen the appearance of the new cub.
"Who are you?" Kopa growled wiping away tears and trying his best to look intimidating. Young frowned. Doesn't he remember me.
Kopa
Kopa squinted his eyes aginced the bright glow that had penetrated his cave. Why is it so bright? He looked at the cub.
"You're glowing!" he yelled backing up quickly almost tripping over his tail.
"Am I." The strange cub looked held up a glowing paw to inspect it. Then screwed up his face. He took a few quick steps and was face to face with Kopa. " Why aren't you glowing?"
"Hey!" Kopa yelled out of surprise and lashed out a paw to push this strange cub away. But his paw pasted right through the cub. A horrified expression spread across Kopa's face.
"Who ARE you!" Kopa said panicking. Whats going on!
The cub sighed. As if irritated by Kopa's panick. He closed his eyes and his glow faded and his fur changed. When The cub opened his eyes he looked very different. His fur was now light orange and his glowing eyes where now a more normal dark yellow color. Kopa couldn't believe what was happening in front of his eyes. The strange glowing cub transformed into a normal cub. His shock made him mute.
"I'm Young" the cub introduced him self "Your youngest brother" he said with a smile.
"Youngest…" Kopa babbled mindlessly.
"Yep. Do you remember me?" Young said excitedly. Kopa simply shook his head, dumbfounded.
"Oh," Young smile dropped "I guess you wouldn't. I had to leave when we were really small."
"You had to leave?" Kopa tried to move past his shock.
Young nodded "I had to leave and go live in the clouds with Grandpa."
Kopa looked at Young with his jaw dropped and his eye twitching. The only lions that could live in the sky where dead. So that means "You're a spirit." Kopa pleaded in has head that he was dreaming. Or crazy. He wasn't picky at this point. But to his utter dread Young nodded his head.
"Yep, I'm a spirit."
"So let me get this straight." Kopa said looking intently at Young. "You thought it was a good idea to hide in the mud at the watering hole and scare everyone by pretending to be a 'Mud Beast'?"
"Yeah!" Young confirmed, as he laughed at his old prank.
The two of them had been talking for ages and Kopa was really enjoying the company of his new found brother. Unlike Kopa's other brother Tanabi, Young could play and fight just as hard as Kopa could.
"Your a genius!" Kopa exclaimed.
"Ha, your the first lion to think it was as good a prank as I did." Young smiled. "I really like hanging out with you Kopa."
"Me too. Your really fun" Kopa smiled back. Neither of the cubs had ever realized how lonely they had been apart. Now they where perfect friends. Suddenly there was a sound outside. And Kopa instantly crotched down low, as if trying to be invisible.
"What's the ma-" Young's question was cut short by Kopa's paw over his mouth. Kopa smelt his father outside. Something doesn't feel right about father Kopa thought.
"Kopa." Simba called from outside.
Kopa glanced over at his friend and slowly moved towards the entrance of the small cave.
