Simba's dream will come in handy. Just remember it, enjoy the chapter.
As began to rise from beyond the horizon, Prince Nolan sat near the peak of priderock enjoying the view with the company of Malka and Kula's daughter, Emma. With a smile, the two young cubs ran back into the cave. This time instead of waking Mufasa and Aura like Nolan always do. The young prince ran over his current role model and big brother figure.
"Simba, wake up!" cried the goldish prince, pulling on the bravest's ear.
The two friends frowned when the dark beige teen didn't budge. Soon a mischievous smile formed on Nolan's face before he ran over to the back of the older male and bit Simba's tail with his small teeth.
"Ahhhhhhghhhh!"
Simba shot up and took deep breaths before looking to the side to see Nolan and Emma smiling innocently. He frowned with a stern growl. "What the heck!"
The creamy gold cub smiled sweetly. "You did promised to take us around the Pridelands."
Simba yawned before standing up with a stretch. After collecting Azazel, Simba headed out of the cave with the prince and his friends.
At the middle of showing the cubs around, Simba decided to it would be best head home. For not only was it getting late and the dangers waiting was unimaginable but he did have to do his evening patrol.
Azazel had to do something quick before he loose his chance and won't hear the end of his grandfather's rage. Azazel suggested to go to the river. Even though Mufasa forbid it since his youngest son couldn't swim. But the river is the perfect place to enact stage one of Eusi's plan.
But first he have to get rid of Emma. As the group approached the river area, the dark orange cub thought of a way to get rid of the unwanted presence.
"Hey Emma. Would you come here for a moment?"
The creamy gold cub groaned with a roll of her greenish-blue eyes before she walked over. "What do you want?"
It's no secret that Malka's daughter has a distaste for Azazel as Malka and Simba don't feel comfortable with Eusi around.
"I just remembered something." Azazel said quickly.
"What is it?" Emma asked.
"Your mom and dad want you back early. Like right now." Azazel added with a nod. "It sounded pretty important."
Emma stared at the dark orange cub for a moment before she sighed and ran off towards priderock.
Azazel grinned before enacting stage two. Azazel put on his best fake fear expression and fake tears before running over to Simba.
"Simba!"
The dark beige teen looked from the prince to the dark orange cub. "Azazel? What's wrong?"
"I saw a rogue lion by the large tree to the west."
Simba, immediately ran off but not before telling Azazel to stay there. Azazel smiled before going over to the prince. Nolan looked up seen his Azazel without Kiara and Emma.
"Where's Kiara and Emma?"
Azazel shrugged. "Not sure. But I want to show you something by the river."
Nolan frowned as his black rimmed ears perked. "I don't think that's a good idea."
Azazel rolled his dark blue eyes. "Stop being a wuss."
"I am not a wuss!"
Nolan ran towards the log that is over the murky water below. Before the Azazel could push Nolan off, Simba came running over.
Azazel smiled before he screamed which started Simba and made the dark beige teen knock Nolan into the water. His lighter beige paws slipped causing him to hit his head.
...
Azazel smiled, pleased with himself as the prince was drowning. A low moan caused the dark orange cub to look towards where Simba fell.
The dark beige teen sat up and shook his head. Just then there was a splash which caused Simba to sit alert.
"Simba!"
Simba blinked open his eyes before looking to see Eusi by his side with wide dark brown eyes. Before the creamy lion could question further, called him to help.
Simba watched the bit older lion run off and followed him with his eyes to see him help the king with a unconscious Nolan. Simba gasped as Mufasa dragged out his son.
Simba watched in fear as the king pressed on the prince's chest before Nolan coughed up water.
Simba sighed in relief when he seen Nolan would be alright.
Mufasa took a deep breath and looked over to Simba but decided to wait and see what Nolan says.
Mufasa grabbed Nolan before heading towards priderock. When the small group reached priderock they were greeted by Aura. The light orange queen ran over in frantic.
Aura walked into the cave with her mate and mother in-law as Sarabi and Tama walked in. Before the two worried grandmothers could ask what happened the prince started to wake.
Aura smiled before nuzzling her son. "Oh thank the kings you are alright."
Mufasa nodded before nuzzling his son as well. "Can you tell us what happened?"
Nola looked down with his ears against his head. "Simba...he kicked me over..."
Sarabi, Uru and Tama gasped as Mufasa and Aura shared horrified looks before looking at their son. "Are you sure?"
Nolan frowned before looking up with teary amber eyes. "Yes...but it was a accident."
Mufasa shook his head before storming out of the cave with his mate and the elder lionesses.
Simba was waiting for the news on Nolan with Kopa by his side. When he saw her theking and queen, his grandmother and sighed in relief before walking over.
"Is Nolan going to be okay?"
The golden lion looked at Simba hard before growling. "My son is fine! But he told us something interesting!"
Kopa looked confused as why was her father being hostile. Her blue eyes widened when she realized what it was. "You don't think Simba had anything to do with this?"
Aura sighed before looking at her daughter. "That's what your brother said."
Before Simba could say anything everyone was turned to a new voice.
"Um...your highness?"
The royal family looked and seen Azazel with Eusi. Some of the pride and guard members started to gather around as well.
"What the matter young one?" Uru asked the dark orange cub.
Azazel looked at Eusi, who nodded but he turned his dark blue eyes to the royal family. "I was there. Simba kicked the prince into the water and watched..."
Simba eyes widened at Azazel's story, literally. "I slipped on the log because Azazel screamed. I must of accidently kicked Nolan in..."
"No!" Azazel cried. "I screamed because he was about to throw me in next! Untill King Simba and Eusi came."
Eusi's eyes widened when he realized it all. "The king and I heard a scream and raced to see what was the trouble. When we got there Simba was watching the young prince drown with a smile."
Uru, along with Sarabi and Scar snarled at the dark beige teen. "How could you do that to your own prince?!"
Simba was backed up to the edge of pride rock. By a mob of angry lionesses and lions.
Kopa couldn't believe this and she refuse to. The light gold princess snarled before leaping between her friend and the pride.
"Stop! Simba is innocent!"
Mufasa shook his head and sighed. "No Kopa, he's not. I know it don't make since but why would Azazel and Eusi lie?" the king turned his amber eyes on the dark beige teen. "Simba confesss and we can help you."
Simba pinned his dark brown rimmed ears against his half covered dark maned head. "I have nothing to confess! I didn't do it on purpose!"
Mufasa sighed heavily before focusing on the pride. "Untill Simba shows he is not a threat he will sleep outside!" Mufasa turned his burning gaze to the in shock teen. "This is your last chance!"
"You should exile him while we have the chance!" Eusi sneered.
Mufasa looked at Simba before roaring. "My decision is made. He has one more chance. You are dismissed!"
Kiara watched helplessly as his grandmother and the pride enter the cave. He saw Kopa and ran over to her.
"Kopa!"
Kopa looked from the form of her retreating father to Simba. She was about to run to him, when her uncle roughly ushered her away.
Simba watched Kopa disappear into the main cave with tears in his dark brown eyes. Simba lowered his head and cried, he couldn't believe this was happening.
But the weeping teen didn't know that a pair of light green eyes were watching.
