Screams and cries of bloody murder was heard all over the kingdom of the Moonlands pride. Two cubs hid behind a lush green bush with wide eyes as they watched helplessly as their pride members got slaughtered by huge amount of hyenas.
A light beige cub had tears in her brown eyes as she watched a brownish-beige lioness got tackled by a hyena.
She wanted to scream, to run to her but knew she couldn't. With a mighty roar the brownish-beige lioness rose from under the hyenas and slashed as many throats she could before limping over the the bush and collapsing in front of the cubs.
"Mommy!" the light beige cub cried before running to the lioness and buried her face in her mother's bloody fur.
The lioness coughed before smiling weakly. "My little Sabra. You will be alright, as long you and Desta stick together."
The light beige cub had tears falling as she seen her mother closed her eyes and her chest stop rising. A brownish pelted cub with a black mane tuff on his head walked over to his friend with tears in his dark purple eyes. He placed a small paw on the weeping cub and pulled her close.
"It's going to be alright. But we got to get out of here."
Sabra didn't want to but knew it was the best thing to do or she and Desta would die as well. She gave her mother one last nuzzle before following her friend away from the slaughter.
~O~
Prince Simba walked over to the watering hole to see his uncle, Nala and Kiara. The dark beige prince's orange eyes brightened at the sight of his young golden friend.
"Hey guys!"
Nala smiled from between Mufasa's large paws. "Hi Simba!"
Kiara lifted her head from the cool water and smiled at her male friend. "Hey Simba. Sorry about before, I been out for so long that you looked different."
Simba waved a paw before jumping up on a rock. "It's cool. But guess what?"
Mufasa lifted his head up to look at his nephew. "I don't know. What?"
"My dad just showed me the kingdom and I'm going to rule it all!" Simba proclaimed with a laugh.
Mufasa shook his head as Nala smiled and Kiara looked at the future king with uncertainty in her blue eyes. But turned her head as her small golden ears twitched. She looked around and seen something moving.
"Daddy?"
Mufasa turned to his daughter and when she knew she got her father's attention, Kiara continued.
"I think there's something out there."
Mufasa stood and looked at the tall green grass. Where he seen a pair of brown and dark purple eyes.
