Hey ladies and gentlemen. Sorry about the chapter, I wasn't happy with it and while working on future chapters, an idea popped up.
Which is the cause of the rewrite of the first chapter.
But to those who are reading for the first, thank you for reading and reviews are appreciated.
Enjoy.
The sun had begun to rise from the earth, casting beautiful golden rays across the lush African serengeti. At the peak of priderock, that was known as the royal's castle, throne and home..one can see the shapes of two lions sitting while waiting for the upcoming royal birth.
"I can't believe it's finally happening." mumbled a large golden furred lion as he stood and began to pace. His movements stirred up his red mane.
A creamy-caramel pelted lion with a brownish mane and greenish eyes sat not far with a smile on his creamy muzzle.
"Muffy, calm down. Sarabi's a strong lioness. The queen will be fine."
The king sighed, he knew that Sebastian was right but it still didn't end his worries.
Just then a grey mandrill walked out of the cave with a warm smile. The king's amber eyes lit up as he ran over.
"Rafiki! Is Sarabi okay? The cub?"
The sherman chuckled, "Ah, de queen an prince r fine an healthy, Mufasa."
Mufasa smiled, "Thanks Rafiki." before quickly running in the cave.
In the back of the small cave near the stone slope, laid a dark beige lioness with dark brown ear rims. In her paws was a small golden furred infant.
The queen looked up at her apporching mate and smiled. "Mufasa, come meet our son. Simba."
Mufasa beamed proudly at his son, the queen reached to nuzzle her mate but the golden lion pulled away.
Sarabi frowned but ignored it as one of her best friends since she came to the Pridelands walked in.
"Mufasa...sire?"
The king looked and seen a heavily pregnant light brown lioness with brown eyes.
"Yes, Amana? What can I do for you? "
The light brown lioness nodded before stating what she came for. "Sarafina just gave birth."
Mufasa frowned but forced a smiled, "What's the sex?"
"A girl, my liege. I also wanted to ask you someth-" Amana started but stopped when Mufasa turned back to his queen.
"Sarabi, I know who will be Simba's queen."
"Oh. Who do you have in mind?" Sarabi asked, already knowing the answer.
"Sarafina's daughter. Don't you think it's great?"
Sarabi smiled lightly, "Yeah...fantastic, love."
Mufasa looked at his son again and smiled before getting up and walked out of the cave.
Sarabi sighed as tears fell from her orange eyes.
"Rabi, you alright?" Amana asked once the king left with concern in her eyes.
The queen sniffed up some tears, "I'm fine. What did you want to say before?"
Amana looked down, "I wanted to ask, if I was to have a female can she be bethroled to the prince?"
Sarabi frowned, "Oh, I'm sorry."
Amana shook her head before pinning her ears. "No. I should of known."
Sarabi sighed, fighting the erge to cry as Mufasa walked in with wide grin of his yellow muzzle.
"It is settled. Sarafina's daughter, Nala is to be Simba's queen."
Sarabi and Amana shared a look, both knowing the true reason behind the bethrole.

A few weeks passed and as the sun was beginning to set, Mufasa was finishing up the last of his rounds. As the king began to head back to priderock, a azure blue hornbill flew over and panted, trying to regain his breathing.
"Zazu? Is something wrong?" Mufasa asked concern in his amber eyes.
"Yes. A lioness is at the western border."
Mufasa nodded before turning and ran in the direction the lioness was, following his majordomo.
Not long after Mufasa reached the western border. There was a heavily pregnant tawny-white lioness.
The lioness smiled when her hazel eyes landed on the large lion but Mufasa could clearly see she was barely holding on.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Elara and I need help..my cub's coming."
Mufasa gasped before he ran over and helped the lioness stand. Together they made the terk to priderock.
The journey was longer than the king expected but when they reached the top of the stoned slope, Mufasa was greeted by the the sight of Sarabi and a dull tan lioness helping Amana into the small cave near the slope.
"Sanura!"
The dull tan lioness moved her purple eyes from the two lionesses to the king and gasped when she saw the lioness by his side.
"Come with me. We'll help you."
Elara nodded before slowly following Sanura into the cave.
Mufasa kept his eyes on the small cave entrance before turning his eyes on Sebastian, who was pacing nearby.
Mufasa chuckled before grinning. "You shouldn't pace like that. After all, Amana's a strong female. She'll be fine."
The creamy-caramel lion stopped and glared at the king, who now had a smirk on his muzzle.
"Not cool...Mufasa." Sebastian groaned out in annoyance.
As the stars began to the shine, the hours creeping towards midnight, Queen Sarabi walked out of the cave with a tired but happy smile.
"Sebastian, you have two beautiful cubs."
Sebastian smiled before walking in the cave.
Sarabi then turned to her mate. "Elara wants you to meet her cub."
Mufasa headed in the cave and over to the tawny-white lioness that held a tiny white bundle of fur in her paws.
Mufasa rinkled his nose at the cub, who was looking up with amber eyes. "She's white."
Sarabi grinned as she gazed adoringly at the white cub. "Isn't she beautiful?"
Mufasa cleared his throat and nodded before heading over to where Amana laid with two cubs in her paws.
One cub had a tawny pelt with brown eyes. The other had a pale brown pelt with dark green eyes.
"What are their names?" Mufasa asked looking up from the cubs.
Amana smiled at her cubs before moving her brown eyes to the king, "The male is Cassiel and the female is Kula."
"They're wonderful, like you..love." Sebastian purred as he nuzzled his mate.
Mufasa smiled before he, Sarabi and Sanura left. Leaving the family alone and Elara and her daughter, Astra to rest.
