Enjoy chapter twenty-two!
On the summit of priderock, Simba and Cayden shared looks before climbing down to see if their tyrant of a uncle was dead.
Simba watched his brother put a paw on their uncle's throat.
The golden lion raised a eyebrow. "Well?"
Cayden looked up with unsure orange eyes. "He's alive."
Simba's orange eyes widen as the brothers was soon joined by Shenzi, Ed and Banazi.
"Not for long!" the female hyena growled.
Cayden growled, stepping in front of Scar. "No. This is behind cruel! You can't attack no one while they down and can't defend themselves!"
Simba sighed deeply."I hate it when you're right."
The hyenas took this as a sign they lost. They growled before running off.
Simba closed his eyes before looking at his brother.
"What?" Cayden asked feeling his brother looking at him.
"What are you going to do with him?"
The light beige lion shrugged and before he could say something a dry cough reach their ears. The brothers looked at their uncle to see him opening his eyes.
"Scar..." Cayden called. He wasn't expecting him to wake.
Scar looked around before looking back at Simba and Cayden with confused eyes. "Scar? Who's Scar, Muffy?"
The brothers shared confused looks with one another. Before looking back at their uncle.
"Who's Muffy?"
"And don't you know your name?" Simba added equally confused.
Scar winched from pain that shot through his head before looking at the brothers. "Mufasa you know that your nickname I and half of kingdom call you. Especially mother and Hewa."
"As for your name?" Cayden asked clearly also very confused.
"Kayn..."
...X...
Simba and Cayden had left Scar or rather Kayn in the cave at the bottom of Priderock.
They went to find the others but they didn't have to look long.
"My boys!" Hewa cried buring her head in Simba and Cayden's manes.
"Mommy,"
The three looked down at Hewa's paws and seen a dark beige cub looking up with bright orange eyes that they all shared.
Simba smiled at his little sister. "You must be Sarabi. Nala told us all about you."
A huge grin formed on the cub's face. Cayden smiled before looking up and seen Zira standing with her ears pinned with a lost look.
The light beige lion walked over with a concerned look.
"Are you alright?"
The dark tan lioness smiled lightly. "I guess. Sorry about earlier."
"It's alright...are you okay?"
Zira nodded. Cayden smiled before giving her a loving nuzzle. "Good. I don't know what to do if I lost you."
Zira smiled before returning the the affection.
"Simba!" Asteria cried as she seen the sight of her crush.
But the pale tawny teen stopped short when she saw the other side of him.
On the other side of Simba was a tan lioness and they were nuzzling lovingly. Her ears pinned as tears fell down her face.
