hey thank you for reviewing I loved them all.
I'm sorry it's short but been ill but I didn't want to keep you waiting so here it is Chapter 3
Mufasa walked out the entrance of the lions cave and saw that his son was looking at the sun again; he coughed lightly to get his attention. Simba turned round with a big grin on his face as he saw that his father was finally ready. He sprang to his feet and sped to towards Mufasa who had started to climb the way to the top of the pride rock.
The walk up to the top was silent apart from the sound of small paws trying to catch up. They got to the top and Mufasa moved and sat where he always had sat before the cubs had come along. Simba sat beside him. Simba still had the silly grin on which made Mufasa grin too. He looked out over his land. Then he spoke.
"Isn't it Beautiful Simba?" he started "I used to look at this view before you and Kagome was born every morning. I looked out to the lands to see the animals start to rise and the wind in the meadows come to life" he then looked to the sky "I would look up and I could feel the kings of the past look down and watch over us and lands like they had done before me" he then looked to his son "what do you think"
"It's great! You say all of this is our Kingdom?" Simba asked looking up at Mufasa with his eyes filled with curiosity and questions. Mufasa gave a chuckle at them then looked out to the land once more.
"Simba, everything the light touches is indeed lion's of pride rock's Kingdom, and as you know, I ruler of the Kingdom but you will be after my rein."
"whoa… everything the light touches" Simba got up and walked to a little to the side. Simba turned to his father once more. "What about the shadowy place?" he asked nodding his head toward where he was talking about. Mufasa face became straight as he looked towards the outer lands.
"That is beyond our borders and very dangerous, you must never go there, Simba, ever" he said in a stern voice. Simba nodded his head, knowing that his father always had a good reason not for him to go there. But that didn't stop him being curious as to what was out there. He decided to drop it for now so not to make his father upset with him, before he took him to the meadow.
"So, as King, you can tell anyone to do anything you want at any time you want, right dad?" Simba asked a grin as he imagined telling everyone what to do. They started to make their way down the rock to start the short journey to the meadow.
"Yes, but I try to be fair on everyone, I hope you will do the same when you become King and not abuse the power being king gives you, as king it is you duty to be fair and level headed at all times and not let your feelings control of your judgments" Mufasa spoke regally.
"Well one day, when I'm king, I'll rule everyone and I'll get every thing I want!" he said he was only playing with his dad because he knew he would take the comment seriously. Mufasa only shook his head.
"Simba, you have to learn that being King isn't all about ruling and getting everything you want all the time"
"There's more?" Simba said eagerly. Mufasa chuckled.
"That wasn't what I meant. Come." The two were side by side as they walked. The lion and his cub said nothing more until they reached the golden meadow, where a herd of antelope, lazily sleeping, and a few were chewing at the grass and the young ones were jumping around and playing with one another.
"Simba, do you see those antelope?" Mufasa suddenly asked out of the blue. Simba looked up at him with a confused expression.
"Yeah, why? What have they got to do with anything to do with being king? There our food"
"Yes they are, however, can you see them eating the grass?" he said as he watched the herd graze. Some of the males looked up to see if the herd was in danger. However when they saw that it was Mufasa they went back to eating. It was well known in the pride lands that the lionesses never hunted where there king was, as these days he was teaching Simba how to be a King and Mufasa had told them that he didn't want to have ant interruptions.
"Yeah, So? They do that everyday" Simba stated as he stared at the horned animals.
"What would you say son, if I told you that those antelope were eating lions, even as we speak?" Mufasa said with a smirk.
"What!" Simba yelled, shocked, "That's not right! We eat them they don't eat us! What are you saying dad!" Simba's reaction was exactly what Mufasa had expected form him, it made him chuckle at how well he knew his son.
"Let me explain" he said and looked towards the antelope again "You see, we eat antelope while we are alive but when we die, our bodies become the grass and the antelope eat the grass" he looked up to the sky and Simba did the same "From the day we are born, we are connected together in a great circle. Right now, we eat the antelope and other creatures but when we die, those creatures will eat us. See? A circle."
"So, we are all connected, even though we're not the same creature?" Simba said as he tried to work out what his father was telling so that he could remember it, however he was still young even for a lion so he had to dumb it down a bit.
"That's right" Mufasa looked down to his son again with a proude smile on his face, "And because of that, every animal should be treated with the respect they deserve, even if we eat them." Simba's face went blank.
"I think I understand now." Simba replied and Mufasa smiled at his cub. 'He will make a good King yet' he thought.
"Sire! Prince! Good morning to you both! I hope you slept well" the two lions looked up to see Zazuu flying swiftly over to them. Simba snorted, he never really liked the bird, he was always bossy however his father told him he was the best for when it cam to messages, negations and reports.
"Good morning, Zazuu, I am well thank you and you? I hope you're well today?" the King greeted.
"I'm quite good, actually sire. I have come with the morning report!" he said importantly as he settled onto a rock in front of them.
"Fire away." Mufasa said where as Simba just frowned and rolled his eyes as the hornbill began to sing and walked off. He spotted a mole and began amusing himself by pouncing on the hole it came out of. He'd bend the front half of his body down low and pounce, however he kept missing it but not by much. He continued to chase it until a voice whispered in his ear.
"What are you doing, son?" Simba turned to his father who had also sneaked away from the Hornbill. The bird's eyes were closed and he was still singing his report.
"Pouncing" Simba repiled. This gave Mufasa an idea.
"Here, let me help" Mufasa smirked. The two snuck up closer to the sing bird quietly as he kept singing "…and the giraffes are having a bit of a skirmish with the antelope…" Zazuu went on oblivious to the lion's movement.
"Stay low to the ground…" Mufasa whispered into Simba's ear keeping an eye on Zazu. He put his paw on his back to keep him down, flat to the ground, "Don't make a sound…"
"…down in the dung" Zazuu said opening his eyes and suddenly, Simba pounced out of nowhere on to him! "Argh!" the bird screamed as the cub crashed into him, sending him to the floor, pinned under his paws. In the background, the King was laughing loudly. Simba turned around, smiled proudly and started to sing the chores of Zazuu's song.
"This is the morning report…" Simba played with Zazuu as he kept sing the chorus then bit Zazuu's tail and lunched him off to the side. Simba turned around, smiled proudly and started walking towards Mufasa who was laughing harder then before. Zazuu got off the ground and ruffled his wings, obviously very annoyed. He was about to have a go when the mole Simba was chasing earlier popped out of the ground.
"Sir important news for the King" the Mole said as he saluted Zazuu. Back with the lions, the King was still laughing. He then bent down to his son and said.
"O.K, this time…"
"Mufasa!" Zazuu interrupted, quickly flying over "Mufasa! Hyenas! In the Pride Lands!" The Kings face turned to a frown.
"Zazuu take Simba home." He then began to run off.
"Oh…" Simba moaned, "Can't I come?" Simba yelled after him.
"No!" He yelled behind him before leaving. Simba huffed angrily.
"Oh… I never get to go anywhere." he said as he made his way back to Pride Rock, Zazuu leading the way.
"Oh, young master," said Zazuu, "one day you will be king. And then you can chase those slobbering, mangy, stupid poachers from dawn until dusk." This cheered Simba up a little as he continued on hi way to Priderock.
So yeah, that's all form me.
Thanks for read this story.
