Chapter 3: Always alone

"Dad?"

Babar stopped walking and looked down at his son.

"Yes son"

Darkon sat and said "why do grandma hates me so much?"

Babar sat and sighed. Babar had gotten bulky and larger over the months. His white mane is even larger and longer, that stops mid way to his stomach.

"Darkon that's a story for when you're older"

Darkon looked up and said "Promise"

Babar nodded and nuzzled him.

"Go Play with our friends" Babar said before walking off

Darkon sat there till his father's figure disappeared.

"Aww the demon is all alone"

Darkon sighed as he turned to see his sister and uncle followed by another cub. This cub was golden brown with a tawny color upper and lower eyeshades, muzzle, throat, belly, inner thighs and paws. The golden cub's eyes were a rich bright blue and her tail tuff was black.

"Oh good the blue eye gang" said Darkon rolling his eyes and walking off only to have Lynn jumped in his way

"You know I still don't see why you're the future king. No one likes you or ever will" Lynn laughed

With made tears form in Darkon's eyes. As the other two cubs watched on with disgust.

"Come on Lynn leave him alone" said the golden cub

Lynn laughed at her brother before pushing him to the ground.

"Come on guys, let's leave the whittle demon to plot" laughed Lynn as she walked away

Alexander shook his head and followed the mean princess. While the golden cub stared at the retreating form of the prince.

"Destiny, come on!" Lynn shouted

The golden cub shook her head and sighed before running after Alexander and Lynn. At the royal cave two young golden lions were talking to Babar.

"So when are you leaving?"

"In two days, father" said Jake his auburn mane has grown out

"JoAnn says she's coming too" said Jack is dark brown mane has grown out too

Babar nodded and said "I hope you find what you're looking for"

The twins nodded and turned too walked away. Babar sat there and sighed.

"Funny isn't it"

Babar looked and smiled there stud a large tawny lion with a light mild brown mane.

Mheetu walked over and sat next to the king and said "I mean you are a grandfather already and your cubs are still cubs"

Babar chuckled and nodded as Mheetu joined in. In the savannah Darkon walked till he reached a medium size cave.

"Hi there"

Darkon looked around and saw no one.

"WH…who…who's there?"

"Up here"

Darkon looked up and on sitting on a tree branch was a golden cheetah cub. His throat and belly was cream color and his eyes were amber. He had golden fur sticking up on his head.

"Who you?" Darkon asked

The cheetah cub laughed as he jumped down and said "there names Duma"

Darkon nodded and said "I'm…

"Prince and future King Darkon" said the cheetah cub with a roll of his eyes

"How did you know?" asked Darkon

"My dad's your pride's Sherman"

"Oh"

Duma giggled and said "where you headed?"

Darkon sat and said "no where"

"Hmm, how about you come with me to see some of my friends" said Duma getting up

Darkon thought for a moment before saying "I guess so"

"Yea! Come on they're just over this log bridge" said Duma walking over

Darkon hesitated but followed the cheetah cub anyway. Where he was going into another kingdom, a new land where he would start off new. Hopefully
