FOR WARNINGS SEE CHAP 1

Have fun and review!

Everyone stared at him in surprise. He could feel the heavy looks on him as he bowed again to Simba. Sarabi's eyes filled with hope and confidence as she lowered he gaze on the young lion. But she couldn't answer. Her son had to.

How could you possibly do that? Asked Simba.

Relieved to hear curiosity rather then doubt in the King's voice, Sebek looked at him and told him:

Her Majesty suffers of a simple disease that can be healed by simple ways Sire, answered Sebek.

My healer, Rafiki has already tried to heal her. What makes you think you can obtain better results?

I don't pretend to be better Your Highness. But your healer might have confused Fungal Infection with Lung irritation. It is a commonly made mistake, I assure you.

Simba looked at his mother lovingly. He desperately wanted her to heal. Then he thought that this challenge could be the one that would determine if Sebek could become one of them. He hesitated, feeling torn between the need of his mother healing and the apprehension he felt at the thought of leaving his mother's fate in Sebek's power. But seeing his mother's pleading eyes, his heart softened. " Why not…" He turned to face the young lion and noticed how he'd been willingly bending to the pride's rules, to his own will and remained as submitted as he was at the beginning, awaiting the moment where he'd be allowed to consider himself a part of this world new to him. Simba thought he had been unfair to the strong young one. He gazed down at the golden-bronze figure bowing to him.

You can try, he answered simply.

Thank you Your Highness, answered Sebek failing to hide his overwhelming joy at the fact of being trusted.

Kiara, Vitani, Kovu. Would you please go with Sebek and get what he needs to heal my dear Mother, the King called.

Yes Father, answered Kiara.

And there it was, the day Sebek had been longing for. He took off with Kovu and the two females towards the nearest Baobab tree. He walked a fair distance behind the royal couple and their follower when Kovu halted, letting the females to chat together. Sebek continued his way to Kovu who, most unexpectedly, followed Sebek forward. The males walked slowly behind the females.

I hear you are a warrior.

I am, answered Sebek in a respectful tone.

I used to fight a lot. That was when I didn't live here.

If I may ask, where did you live, Sir?

Please Sebek, we are roughly of the same age. Call me Kovu.

I will.

I used to live on the other side of the kingdom. My mother was the head lioness of the recluses. She vowed to avenge Scar, Simba's uncle. Scar had killed Mufasa, Simba's father. But Simba won this battle. Only my mother Zira remained faithful to Scar and embarked the whole clan on a war against Simba's. Until I met my wonderful Kiara… But it was really Vitani who put a stop the final fight by realising our mother was wrong.

What happened to her?

She fell in the river when the dam ceded. It had rained many days before so the river overflowed it. How ironical… Scar died by fire and Zira by water.

How did you join this pride?

Simba was merciful enough to give me a chance. But I nearly spoiled it when Zira caught us both when we were gone to take a walk. He exiled me but Kiara and I were in love and he realized we were meant to be together. That Zira was the real problem, not the rest of the clan.

So I am not the first one he shows mercy to…

No. And most certainly not the last.

They finally arrived to the Baobab. The first branches were really high.

How will you reach the leaves? asked Kiara

By climbing in the tree, Princess.

How? The branches are so high! said Vitani.

Finding the familiar thrill of proving himself extremely freshening, Sebek walked away from the tree to take his momentum. When he was far enough, he plunged forward and jumped as high as he could. His claws sank in the trunk of the Baobab and he climbed the little distance there was left until the first branch. The tore a few leave apart under the impressed screams of the two females and the amused look of the dark male beneath him.

Catch them! he yelled at Kovu.

How are you going to come down? Asked Vitani.

I haven't considered that little detail, thought Sebek.

Just try not to break a leg, teased Kiara.

Sebek clung on the trunk and left deep claw marks in the bark of the tree before landing shakily on the ground. He held his head in pride but lowered it when then neared him. They then took off for the jungle. Lions do not live in the jungle so they couldn't stay really long. They found sourplums and headed back for Pride Rock. They looked up and saw big black clouds nearing very fast.

A storm is coming, exclaimed Vitani.

We must find shelter, said Kovu.

And so they ran for cover as a strong wind began to blow. " This wind is going to make all the animals of the Savannah run for cover …" thought Sebek. As he ran with the precious ingredients between his teeth, the strong winds made the Baobab leaves escape his grip. Sebek gave the sourplum to Vitani and ran for the leaves. Kovu saw a herd or rhino running blindly towards the golden-bronze male.

Sebek! Come back!

But the wind roared too wildly and covered Kovu's scream. As Sebek took the leaves back in his teeth, he looked sideways only to see the gigantic rhino's horn. He jumped back and then left to evade the rhino only to find himself in the way of another one. He jumped and sidestepped and ran to evade all the mastodons, keeping a firm grip onto his treasure. Sebek at last managed to escape what he thought was the last beast. Suddenly he felt a horrible pain shooting through his ribcage as he landed on the back of a rhino and slid down.

Sebek! screamed Vitani.

No! cried Kiara.

MOUHOUHAHAHA! Ends here! Please review so I can tell you what happens to Sebek!
