The grand tour

Humphreys POV:

I smiled at my pups/cubs excitement at seeing the place of my birth before me and Kate were finally able to calm them down enough to get their attention so we could start the tour. I decided I'd start the tour with something simple so I said. "Okay gang come on we're going to see the place where I normally go to just relax and clear my head." They smiled at this before I walked in front of them as I said. "Okay guys now stay together because alone the African savannah is a very dangerous place! Especially young animals!" I then lead them away from the den to one of the only places that I can feel completely calm and relaxed in this wild place my family and me now call home.

I smiled as we approached one of my most favorite places in all of the African Savannah. I smiled as we approached a wall of vines and turned towards my family as I said. "Okay everyone here we are!" I then pushed the vines out of the way to revile a beautiful clearing with a waterfall that trickles down a small hill into a lake that has an opening creating a gentle stream. I smiled and said. " This little area is my little slice of paradise. It's where I used to come after training when I needed some time to just relax after a long day of hard training but it's a nice place to just take a dip and enjoy the African sun." As soon as I finished saying that my pups/cubs ran right past me and began playing with each other in the grass. I smiled as Kate walked up next to me and rested her head against my side and said. "Something tells me we're going to be spending a lot of time here with the everyone." I smiled at her and said. "I believe you're right but for now we've got to finish the tour!" She nuzzled me and said. "Well we better get going!" I nodded before we rounded up our little ones and once again we were off.

We were just outside the village were all the villagers had yet to notice our presence. It was then we walked in and as we did the people who saw gave us a wave before returning to what they were doing whether it was weaving a basket or preparing some food. I lead the family to a hut that had two ceremonial masks hanging out on each side of the entrance. I smiled as we approached it and said. "Okay everyone remember if you ever get hurt this is the place to come to. The man who lives here is a remarkable healer and good friend of mine." It was then that Kontomblé walked out with a smile as he kneeled down and said. "Welcome to my humble abode all." I smiled and said. "Thanks Kontomblé." He then kneeled and gave each of us a pet on the head. Before he turned to me and said. "I hope you're ready for tomorrow Humphrey." I smiled and said. "Oh yeah tomorrows my coronation! I completely forgot!" Kontomblé then proceeded to hit me in the head with his staff and asked. "How could forget that tomorrow you become a king?" I rubbed my head and said. "There's been a lot happening with the move and showing my family around the savannah." He smiled and said. "That is understandable but remember you are to be ready for your coronation as the sun sheds its light across the great plains of the savannah and turns them to the rich orange of the setting sun!" Nelson then asked confused. "What does that mean?" I looked at him and said. "It means I have to be ready at the crack of dawn." Rose then asked. "Then why didn't he just say that in the first place?" I leaned down to them and whispered. "He's a bit of a nut at times!" It was then Kontomblé once again hit me on the head with his staff and said. "I heard that!" I rubbed my head annoyed before turning to him and smiled as I said. "Well it was good seeing you again but we've got to continue with the tour." He smiled and said. "I understand but don't be late tomorrow." I replied. "I won't but before I go there is something it seems I need to do." He smiled and asked. "And what would that be?" I replied. "Take your staff again." I then quickly grabbed his staff in my mouth and ran away as my family laughed and Kontomblé yelled. "NO, NO, NO, NO HUMPHREY NOT AGAIN YOU CRAZY PRINCE!" I ran right to the other side of the village as people looked on and laughed as the crazy old witchdoctor chased after me before I threw his staff away behind some bushes and ran back to my family before quickly saying. "Well we better get going before he gets his staff back and decides to hit me somewhere else with it." We then ran as my family laughed a bit.

10 minutes later

We arrived at a large lake surrounded by multiple species of African animals as I said. "Now this here is the watering hole. All the animals in the savannah come here to drink so if you're ever thirsty just come here and take a drink from the sweet life giving nourishment of the watering holes African water." Kate walked up and said. "Humphrey you're beginning to sound like your father!" I looked at her and said. "Sorry! I guess being back here in the Savannah brings out my inner lion." She smiled before she nuzzled up to my side as she said. "Actually I like it! Makes you seem more like a leader!" I smiled before saying. "Let's get going to the next place on the tour." She nodded before we began gathering up our little ones and continued on our tour.

30 minutes later

We arrived at a large clearing with flowers, short grass, some stable high but no too high climbing rocks, a small shallow pond and a flat rock in the shade of a large tree. I smiled as I said. "Now this is a place I had prepared in advance before we moved here. A little place where we can all come and just relax together as a family." Kate walked up and nuzzled me as she said. "That's so sweet!" I nuzzled back as I said. "Well there is one more place we need to see but right now let's just enjoy this time dear." She nodded before I lead her to the flat rock as our young began to play with each other in our line of sight.

Near sundown

I don't know how long we've been here enjoying our time with our pups/cubs but time really did fly. I noticed the color of the sunlight and looking up at the position of the sun I realized that it was nearing sundown now and there was still one place I wanted to show my family. I slowly got up and popped my limbs as I stretched and said. "Okay everyone time to go there's still one place I want you all to see!" Before I lead them out of the clearing and to a place I always love at this time.

20 minutes later

We were now slowly walking up a large hill as the sun was slowly beginning to set. I smiled as we reached the top before sitting down as I said. "Best view in the entire savannah! Especially for enjoying a nice sunset!" Kate sat down next to me and said. "No arguments here dear!" I smiled as she rested her head on my shoulder as our pups/cubs sat in front of us as we all just enjoyed the view of the sun turning the savannah into a sight that's beauty could bring a tear to a persons eye! (Speaking from actual experience!) Once it was over I took my family home where much to our surprise a big hunk of meat was waiting for us along with a note carved into a piece of bark in front of it! I picked up the message and read it out loud saying. "Dear Humphrey tomorrow is your coronation to become king of the savannah. I will come to pick up you and your family the second the sun begins to rise as it shall be the time for the ceremony so enjoy the meal I have left and get to bed early. Signed Kontomblé." I put the message down as I said. "Well let's eat all!" Me and my family then proceeded to enjoy the dinner left for us before we all went to bed to get some rest for tomorrow and as always mine and Kate little ones cuddled up to us for warmth before me and Kate shared a kiss and went to sleep.

AN: Hey everyone I know it's been a while but things have been rough for my Alpha and Omega stories. First I get writers block, then my computer gets a bug that erases all my story files, then my computer needs to go in for repairs and when I'm finally done writing a chapter for most of my Alpha and Omega stories they get corrupted! So yeah sorry about the long wait but I'll try to update faster which won't be easy with college starting up again so sorry!
