I do not own Rogg. Genopa belongs to PhoenixFirewing. Hunter belong to me.

Chapter 7.

The Birth of Rogg

In the Nightlands there was another pack and they were large gorilla like creatures and they were under the leadership of Genopa and he was a very violent creature, he believed his kind were the dominant beings in the Nightlands and was happy to fight anyone and anything that is either smaller, weaker or stupider than him.

"What do you think you're doing Kovu?!" Genopa snarled as he saw Kovu, a white gorilla like creature, gather food.

"Gathering food. This isn't your area to hunt in. You're encroaching on our grounds," Kovu said angrily to Genopa, "Need I remind you that you can't just go around taking grounds that are not yours."

Genopa rolled his eyes and walked away. After a few moments Kovu went to the edge of his territory and nodded seeing the markers that have decided his and Genopa's territories hadn't been moved before returning with the food to Xlin, a Light red gorilla like creature. Xlin was pregnant, she and Kovu were expecting a baby very soon.

Xlin was resting while gently rubbing the lump in her stomach.

"I bet you are getting cramped in there," she said.

Kovu returned with the food he had gathered and he said to Xlin:

"Sorry I was gone so long. I had to make sure nobody had come into our area."

"It's okay, Kovu," said Xlin as she rubbed her stomach gently, "I was just talking to our unborn child."

Kovu sat down next to Xlin nuzzling her.

"I can't wait to meet him or her," said Kovu.

"What name do you have in mind?" Xlin asked Kovu.

"I like the name Rogg that you suggested earlier," said Kovu.

"And what name shall we name if it's going to be a girl?" asked Xlin.

"I'm honestly not sure. If that's the case then maybe a name will come to us," said Kovu and he wrapped his arm around Xlin and Xlin leaned on him.

"I was hoping this fighting would have stopped by now," Xlin said sadly.

"I don't think it won't ever stop not with Genopa being the leader of our pack," Kovu replied as Xlin tried to settle but she could not.

Later on, Kovu went for a walk when he was approached by a dark green gorilla like creature named Ahadi.

"Kovu, you've got to go back to your cave," Ahadi said to Kovu, "Xlin has gone into labor."

"Thank you," said Kovu and he hurried over berating himself for leaving her alone.

"Uru is in the cave with Xlin," Ahadi said to Kovu as he hurried alongside him.

Uru came out of Kovu and Xlin's cave just as she saw Kovu arrive though he was still worried about Xlin and she went up to Kovu.

"Kovu, Xlin is alright and your baby is a little boy," Uru said to Kovu.

"I'm sorry I missed it," said Kovu.

"It's okay," said Uru and she stepped to one side to let Kovu enter the cave and Kovu approached Xlin and smiled upon seeing his baby that had pink skin.

"Isn't he beautiful, Kovu?" Xlin asked Kovu as she cradled her newborn baby in her arms.

"He certainly is," Kovu said with a smile.

"His name is Rogg," said Xlin.

"I will do all I can to protect the both of you," Kovu said to Xlin.

"Do you promise that Kovu?" Xlin asked.

"I do Xlin," Kovu promised.

Xlin smiled and then she put Rogg down. Rogg tried to stand up, but fell down as his arms couldn't support his weight and Xlin stepped over worried.

"Don't cry little one I'm here." she soothed before the baby could cry.

"It's going to be a year before he starts walking," Kovu said to Xlin.

"Of course," Xlin agreed as she nodded.

Kovu and Xlin then both made a loud noise that sounded like a cross between a roar and a howl to symbolize the arrival of new life and Ahadi and Uru both watching from outiside both the same noise as Xlin and Kovu.
