So we are getting pretty close to the end. Question who will come out on top: KopaxVitani or KopaxKiara?

As night crawled across the land, every creature big and small headed to their homes for the night. Kopa hid in the shadows as he watched the pride head in the cave. After the last of his pride member went in, Kopa ran into the savannah.

Following the sent of Kukuza. He followed to a line of trees. Kopa continued on until he seen a figure hiding behind a tree. So he hid behind a bush and watched what looked like Kukuza stalk towards a large older whitish-peach lion with gold eyes and a faded brown mane.

"Sir?"

The whitish-peach lion looked looked up and gasped as he seen a pair of pale grey eyes staring at him.

"Hello..."

Kukuza dug his claws into the ground."Are you...Uriel?"

The lion stood and was a few inches taller than the young whitish-peach male, that looks like him.

"Who's asking?"

"Kukuza..."

Uriel's eyes widen, "You're my son?"

Kukuza growled as he flexed his claws. Kopa was shocked and before he knew it, Kukuza struck his father.

"You hurt my mother! Now I'll will make sure I hurt you!"

Kukuza was about to strike again but the young lion was pounced on. Kukuza was shocked to see Kopa standing over him.

"Kopa! What the hell!"

"You can't do this!" Kopa tried to reason with his friend.

Kukuza sobbed as tears fell, "He hurt my mother!"

Kopa let his friend up and gave him a brotherly hug. "Go home. Your mother needs you."

Kukuza looked at the lion that sired him once last time before running back towards the Pridelands. Kopa sighed before looking at Uriel with a sorrow look before running off.

Kiara was lying down looking at the stars, remembering when she and Kopa use to stargaze together. A deep sigh escaped her mouth as she closed her eyes. The sound of grass crunching made her ears perked. She quickly stood and growled as she flexed her claws.

"Who's there?"

Rusting was heard again as the clouds moved and shined down on Kiara and the figure. Kiara gasped as she saw a young tawny lion rise from the grass. He had dark red mane and beautiful orange eyes.

"Kopa..."

Was the last thing the light golden lioness said before she fainted.

...

"What now, father?"

Hakeem was pacing back and forth. "We need someone important of the Pridelands to enact our plan."

Kuda was sitting a few feet away from the pacing large creamy white lion.

"Um...father..."

Hakeem stopped and glared at his son, burning holes into him.

The light brown, black mane lion gulped before continuing. "I heard from some crows that the second prince is heading towards the nearby oasis."

Hakeem stood straight and smiled darkly, "Fine job my son."

Kuda beamed at the praise as his father roared. Not long after the roar, a group of five large lions came through some dry dead grass.

One lion was greyish with dark grey eyes and dark grey mane.

The second was dark red with dark yellow eyes and red-brown mane.

The third was dark tan with purple eyes and a black mane.

The fourth was pale grey with pale purple eyes and a dark grey mane.

The fifth was pale brown with deep brown eyes and mane.

Hakeem smiled at the five lions, "Farran, Flame, Torrin, Cahal and Cahir. I have a job for you."
