Chapter 2

Lion-o stood in front of cat's lair and saw the ship had landed. Four lion noble ladies came out. They had bags and were dressed nicely. There was one with brown hair, one with black, one with auburn and another who had cream colored hair.

"Hello Lord Lion-o," they all said.

"Hello, I look forward to getting to know all you lovely ladies." Lion-o said. "I hope any one of you will make a fine bride." he said.

"I hope it is, me," the black haired one said and passed by brushing her fingers on Lion-o's arm.

"Please keep your hands to yourself," Lion-o said.

"Whatever you say," she said.

Lion-o went into cat's lair and saw the ladies standing. "Okay can you tell me your names?" Lion-o asked.

"I'm Valtina of the black mane family," Valtina said.

"I am Catrina of the Brown mane family," Catrina said.

"I am Tanali of the Auburn mane family," Tanali said.

"I'm Liosia of the white lion family," Liosia said.

"Nice to meet all of you and I can't wait to get to know all of you," Lion-o said.

"Great now let's spend some time together," Valtina said. "Come on," she said pulling his arm.

"Hey I should be first!" Catrina said.

"I want to go first!" Tanali said.

"Does it really matter who goes first we will all spend time with him and get know him," Liosia said.

"Obviously you don't understand whoever gets to go first gets to know him quicker and betters their chances," Valtina said.

"That's not entirely true, whoever Lion-o get's know and falls love with gets the best chance and it doesn't matter what order you go in each of you have a good chance." Tygra said.

"Yes Lion-o's father Claudius chose the second lady who spent time with and she was a fine queen and a good mother," Panthro said.

"Okay Valtina since you came up to me first after introducing yourself I will spend the first day of courting with you, then Catrina tomorrow, the day after that Tanali and then the day after that Liosia, sound fair?" Lion-o said.

"It does," Liosia said.

The others had to agree. So today Lion-o spent the day with Valtina she was very lovely her hair was thick and black and her eyes were the darkest brown. She enjoyed making conversation with Lion-o but she mostly talked about herself and the wealth of her family. She came off rather spoiled to Lion-o.

Lion-o woke up the next morning and sat down next to Catrina. Catrina had dark brown hair and hazel eyes she was very pretty. She found joy in playing a game of checkers with Lion-o. She talked about her studies and what books she liked to read. Lion-o was amazed by her smarts but Catrina seemed to want to study more.

The next morning at breakfast Lion-o sat down next to Tanali. Tanali was gorgeous she had medium Auburn hair and her eyes were a stunning green. She enjoyed going outside with Lion-o. But Tanali took a great deal of interest in Pumyra's healing work more than spending time with Lion-o. When asked why she responded she is learning to be a healer. Lion-o could see she had a lot on her plate.

When Lion-o sat down next to Liosia the next morning he could tell she felt a little nervous. So he just smiled her to let her know everything was alright. her beauty was incredible her hair was soft cream color and her eyes were big and blue. Lion-o felt himself get lost in them when he looked her in the eye. Liosia was very kind and helpful and when she was with Lion-o. She also had a good heart when she help a wollo calm his panicking donkey.

Everyday Lion-o got know each of his potential brides. He found it interesting all of his potential brides were lovely and good traits but who was the right one? As the weeks passed Lion-o felt affection and love for Liosia. Liosia felt the same way about him. They were very happy spending time together.

"Lion-o you only have two more weeks, you must choose a bride soon," Tygra said.

"I understand," Lion-o said. But his mind was some where else.

"Are you thinking about one of the ladies?" Panthro asked.

"Yes but I don't know if she is the right one," Lion-o said.

"Well Lion-o take this old cat's advice and listen to your heart, it knows if you are making the right decision," Lynx-o said.

"Okay," Lion-o said. He went his room to go to bed so he could sleep on it. That night he had a dream. He saw what it would be like married to Valtina she was very spoiled and demanded Lion-o's constant attention and wanted things often and wasn't grateful to him. In another dream he saw what it would be like to be married Catrina it was good but Catrina seemed sad that she couldn't continue her studies. In the dream were he what it would be like married to Tanali things were fine but Tanali was wishing she could be a healer like she wanted. Then Lion-o saw him with Liosia raising a happy growing family and life was full of joy and laughter and he and Liosia were happy.

Lion-o woke up the next morning and he knew Liosia the one he loved was the right choice. "I made my choice," Lion-o said.

The ladies were waiting to here. Lion-o took Liosia's hand. Liosia felt her heart almost stop and then speed up. Then got down on one knee. "Liosia, would you marry me and be my lady of the Thundercats?" Lion-o asked.

"Yes," Liosia said.

The two of them hugged.

"I love you," they told each other.

Valtina was reasonably upset and the other two were a bit shocked but knew they had studies to get back too.

So the other noble ladies left and they called Liosia's family. Liosia's family was thrilled that their daughter was chosen by the lord of the Thundercats to be his wife.

Soon a wedding was going to be planned.

To be continued.
