Background on Howler: Howler is Saurabi (I'm not sure how to spell
her name so if I spelled it wrong please let me know.) 'S brother. (Get
it; in tlk 1 zazu says, "There's one in every family") anyway, he was also
Scar's best friend growing up. They became "blood" brothers by cutting
themselves and exchanging blood (thus giving both of them scars around
their eyes) When they grew older Scar stayed in the pride lands plotting to
overthrow Mufasa while Howler went off to find his own pride. (That about
sums it up, if you want more info, just ask ok? Thanks!)
Chapter 3: Growing up
The sun had already risen in the sky. The colors were blended beautifully that warm spring morning. A sea of red, pink and purplish blue painted the sky as Kiara led the cubs to the tip of pride rock. She smiled down at them. "Take a look, this is our kingdom." She said. Kita, the young cub of Nearu's, walked up first. "Wow." She said as she took in all there was to see. Miku, Kiara's son, walked up and stood there, speechless. This would be their first day to see the pride lands.
Kiara turned and led them down off of pride rock. She led them to the watering hole first. Kita bounded up to it and stared at her reflection. She had never seen herself before so she stared at it at first. Then she got so close to it that her nose touched it and the reflection shattered on the waves. Kita jumped back and wiped her nose with her paw. Kiara laughed. "It is only your reflection Kita." Kita shook herself and went back to stare at her reflection.
She was a beautiful young lioness. Different than any other lioness for sure. She was a beautiful rusty chocolate color with almond eyes and a black tuft of hair on her head. Her muzzle was a light tan color as were her underbelly and paws. She smiled at her reflection then pawed at it and watched the waves ripple and make it go away. Then she watched her reflection return and continued this process for a few minutes.
Miku was also intrigued by his reflection. He was more the honey color of his mother, but he had his father's eyes and a dark tuft of hair on his head. He growled at his reflection, crouched down, and then pounced on it. Kiara laughed. Kita stepped back and shook. "Hey!" she yelled. "You got me wet!" Miku laughed and using his paw he swatted more water at her. Kita growled and pounced on him. They rolled in the water.
"Kiara!" Kiara looked up and saw Vitani, the lean used to be outlander coming her way. Walking along beside her was her own young cub, Tiaru. Tiaru was a dark chocolate color, so dark that at a distance he appeared black. He, like Kita, had a black tuft of hair on his head, however his and Miku's were bigger than hers because they were males.
Kita and Miku had met Tiaru in the cave, though they had been urged to play together, they had never really gotten along. "Basking in the sun?" Vitani asked. Kiara nodded. "It's a beautiful day." She said. Vitani nodded. Tiaru walked up to the watering hole, crouched down and drank. This was not his first time out of the cave. "What are you doing here?" Miku asked. Tiaru looked up and smirked. "I was just going to ask you the same thing." He replied casually. "This is our first day out. Kiara brought us here." Kita said, stepping in front of Miku, she was the braver of the two.
Tiaru laughed. "That's right, I forgot. You two are still babies." Kita growled. "We are not!" Tiaru shrugged. "Whatever." He walked back to his mom. "I'm going." He said. "No you're not Tiaru." Vitani said. "But mom!" "I said you're staying." Vitani growled. Tiaru frowned angrily. "I hate to do this Vitani, but there's still lots to show the cubs." Vitani nodded understandingly. "Go on, we'll see you later." Kiara looked towards Kita and Miku. "Come on you two, let's go."
Kita and Miku walked out of the water and followed Kiara. Kita held herself proudly and walked with a spring in her step. Miku gave Tiaru a hateful look before following his mother and Kita.
Kiara showed them all the best hunting spots. The place where she and Kovu first met, although they weren't aloud to go there because the territory had been taken up by a different pride. She showed them some good hiding places as well as places not to go. By the end of the day the cubs were tired and ready to sleep. They crashed almost as soon as they found their resting spots and closed their eyes. Kiara lay down beside Kovu and closed her eyes. It had been a long, yet fun day.
