As the sun began to rise over the vast green African savannah of the Pridelands a loud roar echoed through the plains.
Every animal lifted their heads as a song flew through the air from the morning breeze. Birds of different sizes and colors took flight. As the zebras and antelope pranced through the swaying grass.
As the sun continued to climb higher in blue sky, priderock stood tall and majestic. A blue hornbill flew to the peak where Scar stood. After the bird bowed, the rich brown lion growled before looking back at the gathered animals. To see the kingdom's Royal Mjuzi walking through the crowd.
After watching the mandrill climb up the king turned and headed for the cave entrance where Adela laid with a dark beige bundle in her paws. Scar looked on from the side as Adela licked the cub's head. From feeling his mother's touch the cub turned over and blinked his eyes open to reveal orange orbs.
"My he has his maternal great-grandfather's eyes." complemented Rafiki, knowing not to mention that the Queen's sister also has orange eyes.
Scar snarled causing the primate to speed up. Rafiki took his staff and waved it over the prince's head who tried to grab it with his small light beige colour paws. Then the baboon broke a fruit in half and spared the juice on the cub's head.
After that the Royal Mjuzi spared the juice he sprinkled some dust on the prince's head who gave a cute sneeze. Adela smiled as Scar continued to look with no emotion. With a sigh Rafiki picked up the cub and headed for the peak where he thrusted the future king in the air.
The animals below went wild at the sight of their prince. The sun had started the shine on the Royal Mjuzi and cub. One by one the animals bowed to show their respect.
~O~
After the ceremony, Queen Adela took the cub by his nape and headed for the cave with Scar following her. But the family was blocked by Tamaa who had a small dull brown cub at her paws.
"Scar we need to talk."
The rich brown lion sneered at the younger lioness. "Tamaa not now."
Adela looked between the two with fearful dark red eyes. "Scar say it's not true..."
"It's true! Kovu is older there for he's the rightful heir!" Tamaa snarled.
Scar stepped in front of the dull tan lioness and bared his teeth. "What we had wasn't real! Simba is next in line after me! If anything is to happen then your son will be next in line! Now get out of my sight!"
Tamaa glared at the king before picking up her cub and headed down the rocky stairs. Scar looked at Adela who gabbed Simba and headed into the cave. Scar sighed before following.
~O~
Mufasa walked in the cave to see Nala asleep in her mother's paws. Sarabi looked up and smiled at her mate before receiving a nuzzle.
"I heard from my mother and Sarafina that you have some news for me."
Sarabi smiled lovingly at the golden lion. "Muffy, I'm pregnant."
A huge smile creeped across the large lion's muzzle. "That's great Rabi!"
The two laid and talked about names and what the cub would be like until the moon rose. As the time ticked by, Sarabi had fallen asleep before Mufasa.
At the middle of the night a yawn left the golden lion's yellow muzzle. He cuddled up with the dark beige lioness and laid his head down on her back before closing his tired amber eyes.
