Thank you for the reviews and OC submissions. As for evil Sarafina, a lot of her is to come.

A few months has passed since the hyena incident, now the day finally came when the royals of Aragon and Bethesda came for a visit.

Mufasa stood below priderock with his king's guard nearby and Kopa by his large paws. Apporching was King Bron and Queen Aria. When the two allied royals reached him, he bowed which Bron and Aria followed suit.

Mufasa straighten before smiling at the two one month old cubs before moving his amber eyes up. "I am glad you came. Perhaps now we can talk about the future of our alliance."

Bron gave his light brown son a glance before heading after the Pridelands king.

Queen Aria looked at her month tawny cub before smiling. "Adrien. Why don't you hang with Princess Kopa and Prince Brandt. I'll be back shortly."

The royal children of the Pridelands, Aragon and Bethesda watched their parents disappear before Kopa took a deep breath and turned to the visiting princes.

"What do you two want to do?"

Adrien shared a unsure glance with Brandt before he looked at looked at Kopa with light green eyes. "Can we meet your friends?"

Kiara sighed heavily before heading towards the watering hole. She really didn't want to be baby sitting but went with it, for her father. Once they were there the two were greeted by Linda and Sonco's daughter, Marinette and her half-brother, Kion.

"Adrien and Brandt, these are two is my little cousin Marinette and my little brother, Kion."

Adrien looked at the mother older pale brown cub, who was looking at him with bright bluebell eyes. "You're pretty."

Marinette blushed before turning her head to the side. Kopa rolled her own bright blue eyes before leaving the four younger cubs alone. Kopa walked over to the water and looked in, after the ripples settled she saw a farmilar figure standing over her.

"Uncle Taka!"

The rich brown lion smiled at his niece. She was the only one that he could tolerate calling him by his birth name. Scar nuzzled his niece before looking towards the visiting princes, Marinette and Kion. "Aren't you suppose to be with the Bethesda and Aragon princes?"

Kopa flattened her ears and frowned. "But it's so boring."

She wished Simba was here. But he had training to do with the other male cubs as Kiara was away with their mother and fraternal grandmother to visit a potential ally.

Scar placed a paw on his niece. "But didn't you promise your father that you would look out for the princes? A promise is a promise."

Kopa didn't think about it like that. She gave her uncle's legs a nuzzle before running off towards the other end of the water hole.

On The Other Side Of The Watering Hole

Kiara an to the four younger cubs but stopped just when she reached them. Something dosen't seem right. She looked around and stopped on some rustling bushes. The moment she turned away is when two hyenas jumped out of the bush.

"Hyenas!" Kopa growled before running off with the four younger cubs following after the princess.

Kopa was trying to keep the princes and the other two from being captured and then get them somewhere safe so she could use her roar. But got captured herself. The grey hyena laughed as his dark blue eyes shined with hunger.

"A fast meal, lucky me."

A loud roar made the hyenas freeze before a large off white colored paw hit the dark blue eye hyena making him drop Kopa who landed on her paw. Sonja looked up to stare into the light green eyes of a tawny lion with a dark brown mane.

"Leave the children alone!"

The hyenas yelped before walking off but gave a surprise attack. The tawny lion roared before turning to snatch the hyenas off, but they had already done a bit of damage.

"Hyenas! Get out!"

Kopa looked up to see her father, King Bron, her uncle and Queen Aria running over. Kopa looked at the tawny furred lion who struggle to stand.

Mufasa pulled her close before looking at the lion, that saved her life.

"Who are you? And what are you doing in my kingdom?"

"Wait!" Aria cried out rushing from behind King Mufasa to the tawny lion's side and nuzzled him before looking at the golden lion. "This is my mate. Adrien's father, Sebastian. He was finishing something with our advisor, is why he's late."

Mufasa relaxed before dipping his head. "Thank you for your help...Sebastian."

Scar looked at the tawny lion hard. Why does that name sound familiar? But the rich brown lion shook it off before heading after his brother who was headed back to priderock.

Aria smiled as her son ran over and weeved between their legs. "Come on, Bash. You need to rest."

Sebastian nodded before following his family in the direction of the towering kopje not far away.

...

In the cave under priderock, Simba, Chumvi and Mgodi were resting from training when they heard what happened from overhearing a conversation between Scar and Sonco.

Then Kopa gave him a visit. Simba didn't know what over came him. He pulled his friend into a tight embrace.

"I'm so glad that King Sebastian was there in time! I wouldn't know what to do without you..."

Kopa blushed before moving from Simba's embrace before smirking at the dark beige ten month pre-teen who had a small dark brown mane sporting. "You wouldn't know what to do without me?"

Simba looked over to Chumvi and Mgodi who was making kissy sounds. He rolled his dark brown eyes before turning back to Kopa. "Yeah. You're my best friend."

Kopa smiled before reaching out to tag the older cub and ran out of the cave. "You're it!"

Simba glared before running off after the princess. "Hey not fair princess!"

Chumvi looked at the greyish cub besides him. "He likes her."

Mgodi nodded in agreement with the dull brown cub. "Totally."
