Here is chapter two to the Light Landers: Origin Book One: The Dark Landers! Please review after reading if you want.
My name is Kayela, a rather odd name I'll admit. I am a Light Lander. But this story isn't about me. It's about my pride, and my own experiences within it. Well, to start off, I didn't live in the Light Lands since my birth. I was oringinally born a Dark Lander. In the Dark Lands, it was always clouded and this is what made the Dark Lands, well, dark. All of us, the Dark Landers, were either dark brown or a simple brown. I myself am a dark brown lioness with a single, darker stripe running from my nose to my tail, which had the same color as the stripe. My father is a dark brown lion with a near-black mane, and my mother is a brown lioness.
I might as well start from the begining of the story. I think it started when I was born. Alright then, we'll start from there, since I can't seem to remember when it really started. I was born in a very dark cave, the main cave of Night Rock. As soon as I could see clearly, I was taken out of the cave, and presented to all in the kingdom.
"Mother," I cried in the dark. "Where are you? Why was I taken from you?"
"Hush now, my child," I could hear my mother's voice close by. "It is alright. I am here for you, Kayela. There is no need to fear." I found her belly and dug my way into it. I never wanted to wake up, or leave the cave. I only wanted to stay by my mother, never to leave her side. I hoped my friends wouldn't wake me. We may be cubs, but we have amazing eyesight and could see and play well inside the dark caves of Night Rock.
"Hey, wake up, wake up! Come on Kayela," A voice said close to me. It was Dustclaw, my friend. He always loved to play and go on adventures around Night Rock. "Get up!!" I, mostly unwillingly, woke up, seeing Dustclaw's big green eyes in front of me.
"Yes, Dustclaw?" I asked, trying not to let my anger show. Dustclaw gave me a confused look, then understanding what I meant.
"I just wanted to see if you wanted play with the rest of us," He answered smoothly. Nightfeather, my cousin, stood close behind him, with Cloudheart nearby. All my friends. My friends whom I knew would look after me, as would I for them. I stood up, stretched and yawned. Dustclaw looked about ready to run across all of the Dark Lands with only his happiness to fuel him. Dustclaw was a dark brown cub with a tuff of black fur on his head and a tuff of black fur on his tail as well. He had big, bright, green eyes that hardly ever showed anything other than happiness or joy. Nightfeather was a light brown cub with a tan belly and a dark brown line run from her nose to her under belly fur. Cloudheart was a very light brown cub, almost like one of the clouds in the sky above the kingdom.
"Mother, I'm going to play with my friends, is that all right with you?" I asked my mother. She nodded and we run off after each other. I soon took the lead, with Dustclaw right behind me, and Nightfeather and Cloudheart behind him. I was next in line to rule over the kingdom, so I was often called 'Princess', a title I hated very much.
"Well, looks like Princess Kayela is as fast as a cheetah!" I really hated Dustclaw at the moment. But I soon stopped dead in my tracks, the other cubs sliding into me as they tried to keep from sliding into each other. There was another lion in front of us, and he didn't look all too happy to see us.......
Hey, look! My first cliff hanger! Cool! I wonder what will happen to the cubs....... and who was that lion........ Only I know, and I can't believe it!
I'll be updating this at least every other day, hopefully I'll be able to. I hoped you enjoy chapter deux! That means 2 in French. Review please!
