Chumvi had walked to the edge of the Marsh Lands and have not found one lioness. As he made it to the border of the Marsh Lands and the Dark Lands when he heard the sounds of mating.
The young lion raised an eye brow before heading that direction. Chumvi soon came to a very large bush, with a deep breath he pull the greenery apart. What was behind the leaves made his jaw drop.
-O-
Thunder roared as lighting cracked against the night sky.
Dimitri walked in the cave soaked and drained. Physically and emotionally, the teen had searched all over for his best friend and crush. But the princess was no where to be found.
Dimitri laid down next to his cousin, Nala who was talking with his mother and Kiara.
"She still haven't returned?" Nala asked.
Kiara shook her head, "Simba, Jesús and my father are out there looking."
"I'm sure they will return with her." Jaha said nuzzling the queen.
Just then Mufasa, Jesús and Simba walked in drenched and worried. Kiara jumped up and ran to her son, mate and father.
"Did you find her?"
Simba sighed as Mufasa walked over to his daughter and said, "No, Kiara. Her sent is long gone."
Kiara cried "No!" as she fell to the ground.
"Wait! Jata is missing?"
Jaha looked at her youngest and nodded.
"So why are you all here and not out there?"
Simba sighed and said, "It's raining, it will be better to look in the morning."
Dimitri shook his head and growled, "No! I will not stay here when the love of my life could be in danger!"
With that the teen ran off into the blinding rain.
-O-
In a land that has lush greenery, but nothing like the Pride Lands and a lot of water areas. Laid Jata in a medium cave.
"How can they do this to me!?"
Jata had tears falling by now. She loved her parents, but they just don't understand.
-O-
Zira walked in Kovu's cave with an smile on her muzzle with Saiya following behind.
"Zira, what is it?"
"I have great news." Zira said with a purr.
Kovu sat up and said, "Like what?"
Zira smiled before nuzzling the brownish coated, black mane lion, "In a few months time we will be ready to strike!"
Kovu was shocked but thrilled, "How?"
"Saiya and I have been searching ourselfs and we found a great amount of lions and lionesses to fight with us." Zira smiled darkly.
Saiya nodded and said, "With some training they will be ready in no time."
Kovu shot the creamy tan lioness a look, "What do you mean 'They'?"
Saiya looked at her swollen stomach and back at Kovu, "I am in no condition to fight."
