Ok, really short chapter. This roughly covers Talib's life as he becomes an adult, as well as Thorn's life.

Simba's Other Daughter: Yes, I love s-CRY-Ed. It's awesome! Myfavorite character is Kazuma, even if he has anger management issues. I can't say much, I have really bad anger management issues, too. LOL! Anyways, I also like Ryuhou, Mimori, and Asuka (who doesn't like a guy with purple hair? lol). I'm not a real big Sherrice fan, but I can't see why most people don't like her.

I realize I forgot to put a disclaimer for the past two chapters, woops! So this disclaimer will work for the past two chapters as well as this one, until, I go back and fix that...

Disclaimer: I do not own the Lion King. Talib, Thorn and Kohana are mine. Also any other characters not see in the original Lion King are also mine.


Months passed after the tragic day before Talib confronted Thorn again. Ever since that fateful day, Talib hadn't spoken to Thorn. He would pass him occasionally in the cave or at a meeting. Until now, he had never had to courage to confront him.

"Thorn, we need to talk." Talib said as he approached the black cub. Thorn turned to Talib.

"Talib, I'm sorry for what I said to you before. I want to remain your friend. You were right. It was my fault I was blind. I shouldn't have followed you out that day." Tears ran from his blue eyes.

"Thorn, I'm glad you want to be my friend again. I'm really glad your eyesight returned." Talib said as he hugged his friend.

That was a turning point for Talib. His friend had forgiven him, although Acacia had not. She still couldn't see that it really wasn't Talib's fault Thorn had gone out with him that fateful day. Even though her son wasn't blind anymore, her grudge against Talib never disappeared. No one knew how Thorn had regained his eyesight. They thought he would remain blind. He woke up one morning and his vision was blurry, and eventually it began to clear little by little until his eyesight was normal again. The depression on his forehead never disappeared though.

As Talib grew into a beautiful male, his beauty didn't go unnoticed. His mane had fully grown and was the same tawny color of his mother's fur. Thorn's mane grew also. It was black just like the rest of his body.

The two best friends even took part in a first hunt together. They were natural born hunters. Each one was just as successful as three lionesses together. Talib could never surpass Thorn's hunting abilities, however. He found this fact astonishing. No matter how hard he tried, he could never bring home as much food as Thorn could.

The two remained friends and each seemed to forget about the day they ran away. The only reminder was Thorn's memory of being blind, and the depression on his forehead, which was now hid by his black mane.

Talib never forgot about Kohana, nor did Thorn. They remembered their friend and wondered whether they would ever see her again. Talib however knew they would. He didn't know when, but he knew they would see the white lion again.

Talib had another encounter with his grandfather one night after a hunt. Simba had told Talib that he would encounter Kohana again, but Simba warned that she could possibly be different from the last time he had seen her. Talib didn't care. All he cared about was that he would see her again, and he would await the day and catch up. He wanted to know how she was doing. He wanted to tell Thorn that they would see her again, but his grandfather had told him to keep it a secret. Until then, he would wait for her to return, but he didn't know it would be so soon neither nor did he have an idea about how much she could change.


Cliffie? umm, maybe not, but anyway. Thorn isn't blind anymore! woo! and he's friends with Talib again! yay! lol! Ok, good chapter? bad chapter? Should I add more? Review and let me know!
