~Chapter One- Filth is Born..~
As the huge African sun rose over the beautiful savannah, a pretty reddish-brown lioness nuzzled a just-born cub under a patch of acacia trees, her favorite spot. The cub, aroused by his mother's actions, opened his big green eyes to the world around him. First, he saw his mother looking down lovingly on him with eyes to rival his own. The cub turned, slightly, and saw a yellow cub with a big nose. Next to the yellow cub, a female cub, tan in color with ear-rims, smiled down at him. He twisted his head as far as he could, and he saw a great lion;he persumed it was his father. He was huge, with a black mane, but yellow pelt that made him look incredibly handsome. His eyes were steely grey, and they looked on with a slight disgust.
"Oh, Ahadi, isn't he so handsome?" Uru, the reddish-brown lioness, purred. "We should name him Zuri, or Hodari!"
"No, Uru, definatly not! I told you a million times, I did not want another child! He will be Taka, for I wish I could dispose of him as trash!" King Ahadi said angrily.
"TAKA! Ahadi, this is an outrage! I spent countless months carrying this child; he is NOT trash!" Uru protested, but to no avail.
"Taka. He is dubbed Taka." Ahadi said dismissivly. He turned swiftly away from his mate and children.
"Um...hi Taka! That's a funny name! I'm Mufasa!" the big-nosed cub said enthusiastically. "This is my sister, Shetowate!"
"Hi, Taka." The tan cub said calmly. Taka liked her from the minute he set eyes on her, and he knew she would be a good sister.
"Hey..hey Ma Uru? Will there be a presentation-thingy, like with me and Shwtowate?" Mufasa asked curiously.
"I don't think so, honey. Judging by you father's reaction, I highly doubt it." She said down-heartedly.
"But, Mama Uru, why was Dad acting that way?" Shetowate asked, cutely confused.
"He didn't want another child; it was sort of an accident..." she said, exhausted. "But, he had no reason to name him that! He should at least treat him with the respect he deserves!" She added, with a great change of heart.
"Um...right..well, Mama Uru, can we go play with the rest of the cubs? They're right over there." Mufasa asked pointing over to a group of about five cubs stood by the watering hole.
"Sure, just be sure to be back when the hunting party comes back. They should be back around mid-afternoon, hopefully with a kill." She said, then proceeded to wash Taka.
"Ok, Ma Uru! Bye!" Mufasa and Shetowate bounded off to their friends.
Uru looked at Taka. She sighed audibly. "I can't believe Ahadi acted like that! He named you filth! Well, to me, you'll always be Zuri..." She looked at the sun; it gave her hope for a better life for her child. "Don't worry, child. As long as I am here, you will always be safe from the world.
"Malkia," she wispered, looking at the sun, "make sure my son is safe...please..."
Taka was watching his mother with confused green eyes. Uru looked down at him, and nuzzled him.
"Please.."
