chapter 1
Lion-o sighed after seeing his brother coming back from his honeymoon with his new wife. Tygra was impressive, everyone in Thundera thought so too. Lion-o heard rumors that Tygra was the best choice for king. Even though Lion-o was the heir to the throne. Lion-o beat Tygra at many things now. Lion-o was a better swordsman, understood legends better, quickly helped with the rediscovery of technology, he helped those in need in Thundera, and he was much more. But most of the time he felt less than his best.
His mother could see that he was feeling low. "Claudius I think Lion-o is feeling low because right now things are going right for Tygra and there are rumors going around that Tygra will be made king instead of him and he shouldn't be your son." Leona said.
"Are you kidding me, just the other day I was bragging to the council and Jaga how Lion-o is a perfect combination of me and you, he's kind, understanding and generous like you, brave, just and strong like me. He does need to improve, but everyone in Thundera loves him, you know they say he has a heart of gold, I bet never heard that when goes out," Claudius said.
"True, but Lion-o must be feeling bad, he must be feeling like he doesn't belong, or very specail, I think we need to talk to him," Leona said.
"Good idea," Claudius said.
Claudius and Leona saw Lion-o in his room sitting on his bed petting his pet Snarf. "Hey son," Claudius said.
"Hi father, hi mother," Lion-o said.
"I think something is bothering you," Leona said.
"Something is, I just feel that all everyone prefers is Tygra, like just this morning I was talking to a noble lady who I thought was very nice, then she said: 'You are very handsome but your brother Tygra he's the greatest, you should be just like him, he is the best at everything while you are just number two, you should be second in line and Tygra should be king and if he wasn't married I would be his queen,' then she left after laughing at me, then I heard whispers I knew they were about Tygra and how specail he was and I am inferior. Do they realize that I am good at stuff too? I know Tygra is very talented I wish the accepted who I am and what talents I have." Lion-o said.
"Lion-o some people think Tygra may be better but remember Tygra was adopted when he was four and we haven't found his family. Tygra said if he could he would find the tiger clan that he was separated from and return home and he wants to help Cheetara find the cheetah clan which she was lost from," Leona said.
"But why did that noble lady have rub how great she thought Tygra was in my face?" Lion-o said.
"Well son some nobles are snobs even to the royal family," Claudius said.
"I'm glad she said she didn't want me," Lion-o said.
"Why cause she was rude to you?" Leona asked.
"That and I have feelings for another lioness my age," Lion-o said.
"Who?" Claudius asked.
"Liosia," Lion-o said.
"You mean the orphaned white lion noble lady who works at the palace's medical house?' Leona said.
"Yes, I had crush on her since we were kids," Lion-o said.
"Well she's very nice, since she is still of noble birth you can try to court her," Claudius said. "But keep in mind once and if she agrees to be your bride she can't be a medic anymore, she will lose her old livelihood to be a princess and future queen. I hope you understand that," he said.
"I do," Lion-o said.
"Well then tomorrow, you can start courting her." Claudius said.
"Okay, I will do my best," Lion-o said.
"That's the spirit," Claudius said.
"I'm glad you cheered up sweetie," Leona said.
"How do I court Liosia?" Lion-o asked.
"Just be yourself, and do what you think might interest her," Claudius said.
"You must think what she might like and what she does like and do that, just trust your heart," Leona said.
"I will, and I must remember that," Lion-o said.
"Good, now it's time for bed son, good luck tomorrow," Claudius said.
"Thanks father, thanks mother, good night," Lion-o said.
"Good night son," Claudius said.
"Good night sweetie," Leona said.
Then Lion-o went to bed.
