The song used is Tears Of An Angel by RyanDan.
Now, the next chapter of Delicate. Enjoy.
Everyone was frozen as they helplessly watched the Queen Mother life slowly drain from her her green eyes.
"Nala!"
Luis roared before hitting the creamy grey, faded grey maned lion on him. He quickly pushed himself on his paws before charging towards his brother.
"Well, look who it is?" Levi chuckled. "My little baby brother. Think you got what it takes to take me on?"
Luis went to respond when Kion stepped up. The golden yellow lion growled, his eyes starting to glow. But the fiercest shook his head.
"No," Kion looked at the creamy tan lion with hate burning in his brown eyes. "I'm going to kill you the old fashioned way. Then I'm going to return the favor and kill your mother."
Levi snarled before he charged and pounced, but Kion was prepared. Kion leapt up just in time to grab the creamy tan lion in mid pounce by the throat.
Levi couldn't breath as Kion pressed his teeth harder. Tearing the important veins.
Levi could feel the iron taste of blood in his mouth before he was tossed. Sliding across the cool grass a few feet away. He coughed and could feel the blood leave his mouth as he felt suddenly cold. He managed to look up and see Kion stalking over with blood dripping from his greyish muzzle.
Levi wanted to say something but he couldn't keep his eyes open. Eventually, he lost the battle and his eyes fell close forever.
Luis sighed deeply. After all, Levi was his brother after all.
"Get to my dad. He needs help defending off Kovu." Kion instructed before running off.
Luis quickly ran in the direction he last saw the king father.
...
Sherise stopped running. Turned and face the commotion behind. She couldn't leave. Her family and her kingdom were at risk.
Sherise turned to Zendaya and Bianca. "Watch over Skye and Sianna. I have to go."
Just as Zendaya was about to object, Dhampir ran over with wide eyes.
"I'm glad I found you!" the peachy lion exclaimed breathlessly.
Sherise faced Dhampir with a sneer. "What are you doing here!"
Dhampir took deep breaths, before replying. "One of Valdimir's sons went after the young Prince Aden."
Sherise wanted to yell and shout but seen that Dhampir couldn't go to her little cousin's rescue. He could barely stand as it is. With her mind made up, the dark brown lioness dashed off back to the Pridelands.
Sherise had followed a unfamiliar scent to the southern gorge. Sherise gasped when she seen a largely built pale white, black maned lion with her young cousin.
But before Sherise could confront the lion, her father showed up.
"Whoever you are, step away from the cub!" Sherise snarled.
Aziel laughed before raising his paw over the shaking light beige prince. "I can kill this cub, as for who I am. I am Aziel and your worst nightmare."
Sherise growled, looking around trying to figure out how to get her cousin away from this...Aziel.
Aziel laughed darkly. Knocking the future queen of her thoughts. "It's funny that it's you and me right now. Considering that I had a part in killing your mother!"
Sherise bared her teeth before her dark purple eyes widened when her father attacked Aziel with a hateful fire in his black eyes.
Can you hear heaven cry
Tears of an angel
Tears of aaaaaaaa...
Tears of an angel
Tears of an angel.
Stop every clock
Stars are in shock
Hunter and Aziel fought for blood. Hunter had pent up anger for the white furred lion that fueled his adrenaline.
Aziel was just obessed. But as the fight went on, Hunter's adrenaline rush was dying out.
Hunter knew it was loosing battle but he was determined to make this fight unforgettable. He swung one of his large paws, claws extended and clawed the side of Aziel's face. Leaving four deep gashes from his black eye brow to his already scarred muzzle.
Aziel roared in pain before hitting Hunter across the face, sending the dark gold lion over the edge of the gorge.
Aziel growled before looking over the edge. Hunter's eyes widened as he cling the side of the gorge. As he looked into his mate's murderer's pale brown eyes, he knew he was done.
"You should thank me. Now you can be reunited with your useless mate..." Aziel laughed at his dark joke.
The pale white lion was about to reach down when mutiple roars reached his ears. Aziel turned his attention from Hunter to over his shoulder to see Kion and some of the Pridelanders heading his way.
"Bye-bye, for now," Aziel purred before running off.
Sherise shoved past Kion and the others. Running over to the edge and gasped.
"Father!"
The river will flow to the sea
I wont let you fly
I wont say goodbye
Hunter could feel his claws slipping. He looked up and saw Sherise reaching for him. The young dark brown lioness' eyes widened as she watched her beloved father slip further down.
"Give me your paw! I'll save you!"
Hunter tried to reach a paw up but he felt himself slip further. His claws were trying to grip but it only caused Hunter to slip even further down the cliff face.
I wont let you slip away from me
Can you hear heaven cry
Tears of an angel
Tears of aaaaaaaa...
Tears of an angel
Tears of an angel.
Hunter tried to grip onto something but his claws finally gave, causing the former king of Acude to fall into the raging waters below.
So hold on Be strong
Everyday on we'll go
I'm here, dont you fear
Little one dont let go
(ooooooooooohhhhhhhhh)
"Nooo!" Sherise cried and roared. Tears pouring out of her dark purple eyes and down her face as she reached over to try to save her father to only be pulled back and into the chest of her uncle.
"I'm sorry Reese'." Kion held his niece, not bother to withheld the tears.
Sherise pulled away from the embrace and began looking around when she remembered why she and her father was out there.
Sherise sighed in relief when her teary eyes landed on a shaken light beige cub with a scruffy dark red tuff on his head. "Are you okay, Aden?"
The light beige prince nodded but everyone could clearly see he was shaken up. "Cousin Reese?" Aden sobbed, tears falling freely from his amber eyes and his fluffy cheeks. "Your dad? He's never coming back is he?"
Sherise glanced up but everyone was heading back towards the direction of the battle field. With a shaky breath, she looked down at her cousin. "I'm afraid he can't be with us any longer."
Aden looked down before holding on his big cousin's foreleg.
