Here's the new chapter of Innocence III. Enjoy the surprise.
As the sun began to rise and bath the Pridelands in a golden glow a two month old dark golden cub ran out of the cave towards the peak, a warm but welcoming breeze blew through his red brown tuff on his head as excitement shined in his amber eyes.
"Wow."
A giggle caused the dark golden cub's brown rimmed ears to perk before turning to see his younger cousin, Francis and a a month and a half older cub, Skye.
"How many times you seen the Pridelands, Wyatt?" the light cream cub asked with amusement in her hazel eyes.
A month old creamy brown cheetion cub giggled before he and the other two looked to see their parents exit the cave.
"Francis, I want you to stay by Wyatt and Skye at all times." Jaha came out of the cave with Faraji by her side.
"Yes mum." the young cub cheetion grinned sweetly before looking at his cousins. "Can we go now?"
Jax chuckled before heading down the slope. "Come on cubs. Times wasting."
The three cubs cheered before following the pale cream lion into the savannah. Faraji nuzzled his creamy brown mate before heading down to start the patrols for the guard. Kiara sat and watched her pride go their way. It's been crazy these past months since Sherise ran off. Not long after her daughter's disappearance she found out she was pregnant. She was a bit along with the pregnancy, considering that two months and a half ago she gave birth to Wyatt. He reminded her of Kopa and a lot of her little brother Brandt. Caring but hot headed and a fierce attitude. The golden orange lioness sighed heavily, she badly wished Sherise and Almasi was here. She'll have a big family like she wanted. A loud shout demanded her attention. Kiara looked up with wondering orange eyes to see Ono flying towards her.
"My Queen, you need to come to the small watering hole..."
Deep in the Pridelands
Barton since the four months Sherise disappeared had taken up her duty of the Lion Guard leader. Anders, was a bit hard to lead. The way he leapt into situations without thinking. Blaze was no different, he liked to run ahead of the guard. The cold beige lion sighed before looking at into the golden plains.
"Lord Barton!"
Barton moved his greenish-blue eyes towards the creamy egret. "Oni, what is it?"
Something began to shine in her yellow eyes. "Princess Sherise is back!"
TLKTLKTLKTLK
After what felt like forever, Sherise finally saw daylight at the end of Nandembo Caverns. The exit that the caverns lead her to was by the small watering hole by the elephant herd. With a deep breath she headed east where she could spot the shadow line of priderock. The russet red lioness had passed the big water hole when a farmilar voice caused her ears to perk. Renner stirred before blinking his greenish-blue eyes open for them to go wide with fear.
Sherise grunted before placing the pale cream cub on the ground just as the guard came rushing over. She sighed as she saw her uncles with her mother and fat...Kopa. Kopa because the wasn't her father. Brandt and Kion moved aside as Kiara walked out with Kopa by her side. Kiara went to say something when Barton rushed past the crowd and embraced the russet red lioness.
"Sherise! I missed you!"
Sherise backed up ignoring the hurt look and grabbed the small cubs on her back. She looked up at the cold beige lion with a apologetic expression. "I'm sorry I didn't return sooner."
Barton looked at the newborn cubs before a whimper made him turn to the shaking pale cream cub that had fear in his greenish-blue eyes. His own eyes widened as he realized who the small cub was. "Renner..?"
