Chapter 15: At Pride Rock
As Minu and Kanami ran back to Heira's lands, Simba was lying inside pride
rock, turning the vision that he had seen over and over in his head.
Standing up, the king began pacing as Nala walked in with the cub in her
mouth. After setting her down, she walked over to her mate and nuzzled
him.
"Something wrong Simba?"
"No, it's nothing," he replied as he turned from her and layed down on the
cavern floor.
"Simba, I know you, what's the matter?"
The queen picked up little Kiara and circled Simba, settling down and
facing him. The lioness cub peered up at her father as she rested between
Nala's paws.
"It's just, I saw something or someone today at Kiara's presentation,"
Simba began, lowering his head on his paws.
"What did you see?"
Simba paused and thought a moment before answering, "after scanning the
crowd, looking at all who was there, I glanced down and I saw what looked
to be two cubs."
Nala smiled, "yes Simba?"
"I saw a lioness cub, but beside her was a older male cub, and he looked
just like Minu would have looked if," the king sighed and lifted his head,
nuzzling the tiny cub.
"You saw a cub that looked like Minu?"
"Yes Nala, it looked real Nala, when I looked up again, then looked back
down I saw the female cub run off."
"Hmmm," Nala thought as she moved closer to her mate, "I am sure he is
watching over us, we must let it go Simba, let him rest in peace."
"What about my sister?"
The lion queen took in a sharp breath as an older Tirria suddenly appeared
beside the royal couple. What had once been a cub was now a young
adolescent, her body growing lean and strong and her hunting skills
improving every time she joined the hunting party.
"I didn't mean," Nala began, but the younger lioness cut her off.
"It's Minu this, Minu that, does anyone remember Sukina?"
"I'm sorry, I really didn't..."
The lioness continued, "but now the little ball of fur has been born,
everything's fine!"
"That's enough Tirria!!"
Simba roared as Kiara whimpered and tried to move closer towards her
mother's warmth.
"What's going on?"
Tirria's mother walked in to the cave and over to her daughter, "did you
get angry again?"
She whispered in her ear;
"I'm sorry, I," the lioness stopped and bowed to the king and queen.
"I just, lose it sometimes, it's just," she broke off and bounded out of
the cave, running down pride rock as her mother called after her.
