The sun had started to rise higher, noting that noon was near. Nearby the glorious watering hole, birds resting in the trees took flight after a loud yell rang through the air. Causing the animals drinking to lift their heads as two cubs, one five months and the other ten months, slid through the water.
"Woohoo!" exclaimed the red-brown ten month cub.
"Guys," a orange three month cub called out as she tried to keep up. "Wait!"
Off to the side sat an unimpressed whitish four month cub. "This is boring. I rather sit through King Father Simba's stories of the old days."
"You wouldn't like them, Uzuri." snickered a youth male voice. Causing the two lioness cubs to look and see a four month pale cream cub with a bit of pale cream fur sticking up on his head. "Even though they're pretty awesome."
After catching her breath, the orange cub approached with a confused expression. "Mapenzi? I thought you were with Uncle Mheetu?"
"I was." the pale cream cub sighed disappointedly. "'Till he had to go handle a situation with King Kovu." after taking a few deep breaths, Mapenzi smiled. "Besides, I know what we're doing today. That we'll all enjoy."
"And what's that?" the orange cub asked.
Mapenzi laughed before grinning mischievously. "To the forbidden area."
"The forbidden area?" questioned the red-brown cub with a unsure glint in his dark brown eyes.
Everyone turned to see the ten month old cub and five month old cub that was playing in the water not long ago.
"I think it's a great idea." the light gold five month cub with a fluffy backwards reddish tuff on his head, piped up. "Our parents told us to never go there but never told us why."
The red-brown cub frowned, his black rimmed ears folded back slightly. "I'm sure with reason."
The light gold cub rolled his purple eyes. "Stop being a wuss, Jesùs."
"I'm not a wuss!" Jesùs sneered, getting irritated with his best friend.
Uzuri smirked before approaching the aggravated red-brown cub. Once she got to the older cub, she placed an light color paw on Jesùs' shoulder. "It's okay Jesùs. If we didn't have cowards, we wouldn't know who the brave ones are."
Jesùs glared before swatting Uzuri's paw off his shoulder. "I'll show you who's a coward!"
Before the other cubs' eyes, Jesùs dashed off towards the southside of the Pridelands. After the cubs got out of their shock, they quickly ran after their friend.
When the group reached their friend, Jesùs was looking over the side of the gorge. Uzuri quickly walked over and looked as well to gasp when she spotted something down there to only squeak in surprise when someone grabbed her by her nape and place her on the ground away from the edge.
Just as Uzuri was about to scream and shout, she sat and pouted with her ears against her head when her hazel eyes landed on a large, creamy white lion. His white mane blowing in the breeze.
"Big brother," Uzuri laughed nervously. "What are you doing out here?"
Hasira narrowed his blue eyes. "The question is what are you doing out here?"
Jesùs gulped before speaking. "We know we're in trouble but there's something down there."
"Don't try to distract me kid," Hasira said irritated. "'Cause it ain't gonna work."
"No really. There's somethin' down there," Uzuri insisted.
"Okay I'll bite," Hasira groaned before walking over to the edge and peering down. "Hey there is somethin' down there. You five stay here. I'll check it out."
After making sure the cubs stayed put, Hasira began to climb down the steep side of the gorge towards the bottom.
The cubs waited on the top, all of them wondering what could be down there. As they were waiting they heard a voice from behind them say,
"And just what do all of you think you're doing out here?"
The turned around and saw Kion standing there looking angry.
"Heh hi dad," the light gold cub stammered nervously. "What are you doing here?"
"Patrolling," Kion ansewered. "But the real questions is what are you all doing here? This area is forbidden."
"We were," the light gold cub, Zawadi said. "But uh we just uh.."
"You were just going back to priderock," Kion said gruffly. "If all your parents knew you were out here, they would feak out and rightly so. Now come on you all are going home right now."
Kion picked up his son and began the terk back to the kopje with the four other cubs following. But before Kion could take a step further, the golden yellow prince was interrupted by a loud shout for help.
...
In the region of the Easternlands, the current domain of Lord Valdimir. Many of the lionesses and lions were preparing for an attack.
Standing on a hill top, a evil shine in his dark brown eyes was the tyrant himself. Valdimir. With a dark laugh he looked behind him towards two lions speaking with some new recruits in his army.
"Bashar!"
A young creamy brown lion with black mane walked through the group of new warriors, his brown eyes plain. "Yes sir?"
Valdimir turned his on his furthest border that sat in the distance. "In a week's time, take your party and attack. Levi will be following."
Bashar dipped his head before heading back to his original spot and quietly informed a reddish-tan, black maned lion what he was told.
Valdimir grinned as he watched Bashar and his son start the training of the recruits that was either victims of their homes being taken over by his other sons or stolen from their mothers.
With a dark laugh, the brownish-tan lion returned his attention to the main of his army training.
The kingdom of Acude won't know what hit them.
