Authored Lion King III
The sun had started to set when Loki returned to Pride Rock. With being king, he and his family were deemed to move in the cave. A yawn lefted his mouth as he climbed up the rocky steps. It's been a exhausting day, with end a fuel between the giraffes and elephants. Soon rest was in order, but going to sleep would have to wait for a little longer. As when he reached the top he was greeted by his mate.
"Love you shouldn't have stayed up"
Sherise smiled as she nuzzled into his black mane before looking at him. "I...couldn't sleep"
Loki looked at the brown lioness with a raised eyebrow. "Oh"
Sherise sighed deeply before looking at her mate in the eyes. "Loki I'm pregnant again"
Loki sat quietly, taking in the new information. The minutes quickly passing which worried the young queen.
"Loki say something!"
The pale light brown lion shook his head before looking back at his mate who was on the verge of crying. "I'm sorry Reese. I'm happy just...we already got two cubs who are in line for the throne..."
Sherise smiled lightly. "It will all be alright. Besides Uhuru don't want to be queen...so it's between Thomas and the new cub"
Loki nuzzled her lovingly before licking her cheek. "What would I do without you"
Sherise giggled. "You won't be able to live without me"
The pale light brown lion laughed before closing his eyes and sighed. "I have a big day tomorrow. Got some lessons or what not with Kopa and Mufasa"
The brown lioness nodded before looking at the starry night sky and sighed. "I have a morning hunt to do"
Loki and Sherise sat and looked at the bright stars for a few minutes more before retiring in for the night.
~O~
Morning came pretty quickly for the Pridelanders. As the sun began to rise a loud roar erupted through the air. Loki blinked his eyes open before walking out of the cave. He dragged his body over to the edge where he seen a unfamiliar lion. Loki frowned before he growled at the lion below.
"Who are you? And why are you in my lands?!"
By this time the pride had woken up and walked out of the cave to see what's all the commotion is about. Sherise stood by Mufasa and Nick with Uhuru and Thomas in between her paws. The unknown lion looked up with ocean blue eyes. His grayish brown mane blew lightly in the morning breeze as the sun shined down on his creamy golden fur.
"Your highness...I came because I thought you should know that there's a badly injured lion by the border...well was and I have been looking after him since last night. I came here thinking he might be one of your members"
Kopa rushed over with hopeful dark blue eyes. "What do this lion looks like?"
The creamy golden lion cast his eyes down as his ears flickered before he looked up. "Well he's dark beige and has a dark brown mane with dark brown ear rims"
Everyone gasped as Sherise looked up at Zazu who was perched on her shoulder. "Get Rafiki"
The blue hornbill nodded before flying off towards the large tree that Rafiki and his daughter calls home.
"Young lion, what's your name?" Loki asked
The pale light brown lion noticed that the lion below was younger than him.
"My name is Clay, sir"
Loki nodded. "You, my brother and grandfather go and bring my father here"
Clay bowed before watching the two older golden lions jump down before leading them to where he stayed the night at.
~O~
Tony had took the twins, Edward and Emmett on patrol. A little father and sons bonding and to give Jermira a break.
"Dad"
Tony looked at the light golden cub. "Yes Emmett"
Emmett looked up with questioning bright blue eyes. "Is it true Uncle Loki was bad?"
The golden lion's brown eyes widen as he looked at his youngest son. "Who told you that?"
"We heard the animals talking" said a golden cub
"So is it true?"
Tony sighed. "There once was a time when good lions get lost and do bad things. Uncle Loki was hurt and did bad things"
"Oh" Edward said his amber eyes down. "Does our cousins know?"
Tony shook his head, his eyes on what's up ahead.
"Wouldn't it be best to tell them?" Emmett asked
Tony sighed deeply and nodded his head. "Yes. When the right time comes Uhuru, Thomas and Skye will find out"
Without anything else to say the twins continued to follow their father.
