: Chapter 10:
Anarchy
Hatari entered the cave where Pindua was waiting.
"You directly went against my wishes" Pindua said his voice calm but with a hint of anger.
"I did but it was my right to make that choice" Hatari responded.
Pindua growled, "indeed it is" he responded.
Hatari was still shocked how easy it was convince Pindua just mention his ideals and all is forgiven no wonder he infiltrated this society so easily.
Pindua's paw grabbed his throat, "just as it is my right to kill you for this displeasure" he said his voice like ice.
"Simba's not dead they took him" Hatari explained.
"They have him that could prove beneficial leave him for now you could defy but then I could kill you" Pindua warned him.
"So what are we going to do?" Hatari asked.
"It's time to begin the next phase of our plan" Pindua answered.
"The beginning" Hatari said.
"The revolution" Pindua stated.
it was time finally time to expose this corrupt reign for the tyranny it was.
Simba opened his eyes he could hear voices around him but he recognized none of them. He struggled to move only to realize he wasn't tied he pulled himself to his feet.
"Everyone please give him some room" a lion said.
a lion with brown fur a black mane and green eyes and most importantly he was old really old he didn't look like he could fully stand.
Simba approached the lion, "who are you why did you bring me here?" Simba asked.
The lion smiled, "would you like those in proper order, if yes then my name is Kilbali we brought you here to save your life that lion seemed like a rather nasty fellow" Kilbali answered.
"And where is here?" Simba wondered.
"That's an excellent question, this is naturally our pride" Kilbali replied,
"Well obviously I knew that" Simba responded.
Kilbali chuckled, "yes obviously"
Simba wasn't as worried anymore this lion seemed very friendly, "I mean what kingdom is this" Simba clarified.
"Aw I see, technically this isn't a kingdom and the only thing we call it is home because what other name could there be?" Kilbali said.
Simba was confused, "I would like to speak to whoever is in charge here" Simba requested.
"Oh well that might be eh a little difficult I'm afraid no one here fits that descriptions" Kilbali told him.
Okay Simba must not be in one of the monarchies, "well can I speak to your government?" Simba asked.
Kilbali chuckled, "perhaps I should be more specific apologies I am an old lion, there is no government here this pride is ran solely by the people." Kilbali told Simba whose jaw dropped at his statement.
Umoja and Uhuru were beginning the first stage of their anarchy trial to see if it could truly work, Uhuru began painting on a stone when Umoja came in and took the stone scratching his claws on it Uhuru didn't care there were plenty she grabbed another and began drawing. Umoja was eating a small chunk of meat when Uhuru came and requested a piece.
"why didn't you just take it" Umoja asked.
"Just because I can doesn't mean I will" Uhuru answered.
So wait did that mean he should ask.
Kilbali could tell Simba was concerned, "I know what your thinking" he said.
"No government no law no order" Simba questioned.
"Not exactly there is order and to an extent law but it is determined solely by the will of the people" Kilbali told him.
"How does that even work" Simba asked.
"Well with a little creativity" Kilbali said with a playful chuckle.
"But simply put all the power is in the hands of the citizens" Kilbali said.
"How could they ever" Simba pondered.
"yes I understand your confusion and really it's a lot to explain so perhaps you should look and see things for yourself" Kilbali suggested.
Simba was trying to grasp all this maybe exploring and directly seeing some of it would help.
Umoja and Uhuru grabbed whatever they wished and when they were done left it wherever, the entire area was becoming a disaster things were thrown wherever they wanted, the walls were scratched up partially eaten food littered the ground as Umoja and Uhuru continued to grab whatever came to their mind but they were running out of things they had used them all with reckless abandonment and would soon be getting low on resources.
Simba explored the pride and was surprised at every turn every animal imaginable was here and even more shocking many different species were living together he saw an antelope actually eating a massive thing of grass alongside a lion who was eating a piece of meat, this was insane.
"Is he really watching one of his kind get eaten" Simba asked in shock.
"Oh no we have learned to survive through many different ways and we do not eat one of our own" Kilbali told him.
"All of them together how does this work?" Simba questioned.
"That is but the beginning relationships go far behind friendship" Kilbali stated.
Simba continued moving and saw a family the father was a lion the mother a cheetah, their children one was mostly cheetah with a more lion tail and ears, the other lion with some spots on his fur.
"more than half the relationships here are interspecies" Kilbali told him.
"But the great circle" Simba began to say.
"We are all the same all of us born the same and love the same" Kilbali explained.
"tell me how this works" Simba requested.
The entire area in the tree was in disarray Uhuru and Umoja were constantly fighting over what few things they hadn't used yet,
"you see it is not impossible to live without a government it is merely a trial"
Uhuru and Umoja had become so low in materials they were beginning to steal each others after all they could the whole tree had descended into chaos things were scattered everywhere and Umoja and Uhuru were pillaging whatever they could find ironically Sarafina was letting it continue simply because she was fascinated with what they were doing
"you are free to do whatever you wish but just because you can doesn't mean you should"
Uhuru and Umoja were throwing each other around physically clashing over the few things they had they invaded each others beds and would sometimes just sleep in them only for the other to throw them off they would yell and shout at each other before it devolved into violence
"responsibility and control are vital to be content with what one already has to be able to do anything and choose to do nothing"
Uhuru and Umoja threw each other down only to break the object now they had nothing to do Umoja grabbed a stone and paint brush and began painting he looked to Uhuru and offered her the brush
"selfishness and greed will only cause the society to collapse you must stand together and live together both work and enjoyment"
Uhuru and Umoja began laughing at their drawings which ironically resembled their destroyed habitant they turned and looked at the disaster that was their home there was no reason to live in this
"it doesn't start easy and you may very well go through more than one home but eventually you will realize the things you took meaningless and it was the ones beside you that were truly special it wasn't the land but the people"
Uhuru and Umoja quickly clean up the area surrounding the tree all the while playing and laughing and enjoying each others company they continue cleaning until the tree looked just as it did before they then begin painting the room redecorating it,
"then in that moment you become more than just individuals you become one world and you build something better"
Sarafina stares in complete wonderment at the absolute beauty of Umoja and Uhuru's temporary room it looks better than it ever did Uhuru and Umoja are always in each others company laughing and joking they share whatever they find, ask for permission anytime they use something the other is they don't have to they just choose to it had been complete chaos and now all there was now was order and peace and most importantly acceptance
"be open minded accept other's flaws you have them too accept what other's believe don't be one be a family we are all the same all of us united that is what it is unity, selflessness and acceptance, that is the key to our ways."
Uhuru and Umoja gently rested against each other.
Simba listened as Kilbali finished his explanation, "incredible it sounds like a utopia" Simba said in wonderment.
"Only because we made it one through hard work and understanding." Kilbali replied.
"But I don't understand one thing how do you handle those who hurt others how do you handle criminals?" Simba asked.
"That took many years follow me" Kilbali said.
Simba and Kilbali walked through the pride there didn't seem to be any area where somebody wasn't welcomed.
"Can anyone enter anywhere at anytime?" Simba questioned.
"Yes, of course the family living their won't like it and will likely retaliate" Kilbali answered.
"Then there is law" Simba concluded.
"No but rather those who do what they wish must also accept the consequences that come with that if you threaten someone's life they will threaten yours" Kilbali stated.
"Is that how you handle crimes?" Simba asked.
"Not quite if so there would too much murder and killing as much we hate it prisons are still required" Kilbali said.
"But doesn't that take one persons freedom?" Simba asked in confusion.
"Yes but they are only there because of their own choices they took their own freedom and here your freedom extends only as far as another's when you violate the freedom of another you forfeit yours" Kilbali explained.
Simba turned and saw a lion locked in a den blocked off a panther arrived and placed a large piece of meat into it she even began speaking with the prisoner in a friendly manner, Simba watched with wonderment.
"Just because you did wrong does not mean you should be treated like a monster" Kilbali said.
Simba looked around the entire pride taking in the full image it shouldn't work it should be a disaster yet it worked everyone was living together perfectly Simba could only imagine if the entire world was like this.
"This is incredible maybe it is the way we are all meant to live" Simba stated.
"Oh I don't think so trying to force this on a society so suddenly will only result in disaster" Kilbali warned.
Simba still wasn't sure this was a sanctuary how could introducing it to the pride lands possibly end up a disaster.
"Okay I feel I should get this out of the way I am not an anarchist as such if anyone reading this actually is know this I am not trying to misrepresent your belief but I wanted to portray it in a positive light which so few things nowadays do I hope you were satisfied with how it was portrayed as for anyone against the positive portrayal everything has a good side and bad and don't worry you will be seeing the bad as well"
