Chapter 4: Into the Circle of Color

*In the Pride Lands*

After the colorful circle had vanished, and they both were okay, Simba and Nala went to go play somewhere else. They also decided to keep the mystery of the colorful circle a secret to themselves. Besides, it was probably just a one time thing.

Later on the next day, Simba and Nala woke up early and got permission fromtheiur parents to go play. Itwas dusk out, which meant that the sun was visible, but not completely. Simba and Nala went back to the place where the colorful circle had appeared. To their surprise, the big, colorful circle was back again, but neither one of them went near it.

"That circle is back again! I wonder why?" Nala said out of curiosity.

"Me too. It can't be a trick from the sun; it's too early! Besides, I'm not going near it after what happened last time!" Simba replied.

"Come on, Simba. Let's just walk away. Looking at that circle won't solve anything!" Nala suggested as Simba nodded in agreement. However, as they walked away, the circle got bigger and stronger, creating suction just like last time! Simba and Nala both felt the suction pulling them in backwards, so they dug their claws into the ground as they tried to stay away. It didn't work.

Suddenly, Simba and Nala got lifted off the ground, and sucked into the circle!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" the two lion cubs screamed as they got sucked into the circle, and saw the grasslands vanish before their eyes. Simba and Nala grabbed each other in a desperate attempt to be safe.

"Simba! What's going on?!" Nala cried out in fear.

"I don't know, Nala!" Simba yelled back in reply.

Soon, out of nowhere, a third lion cub appeared out of nowhere, and joined them. All the three could see was just colorful circles. Then, an opening appeared. The opening was glowing white. Soon, the lion cubs went through the white opening, through another series of colorful circles, and then fell to the ground!

As the three lion cubs got up, they noticed that they were sitting on a hard, smooth, stone floor, the room was dark, and all they could see in front of them was a big, white cloth that covered them from above. What happened to them?
