A/N: Simba fangirl and Almondbutter, thank you for the reviews and to answer your question Almondbutter. Since I might not get to for a long time buy the charters. But Mufasa and Scar had a younger brother name Jahmal. He was Mufasa's head knight before he was died. Also don't worry he won't touch Simba, Jahi will soon have a little cub following him around. So without further ado here's chapter four, enjoy!

"Ah King Simba! Its a pleasure to see you again" beamed a large soft grey lion with a dark grey mane and pale orange eyes

"Yeah...its been a long time, King Imani" sighed Simba

The two kings was taking a stroll through the Grasswall kingdom. Catching up as friends and allies do.

"King Simba"

The grey lion had stopped and turned so to face his companion.

"I'm not going to beat around the bush. Have you thought about re-marring?"

Simba's amber eyes widen. The thought never really went through his mind. He does need a queen but he can he ever love again?

"I have some lionesses that will make great queens"

Simba shook his head before focusing on the topic. "Is that the reason of this visit?"

Imani nodded before looking one way then the other before looking back at the golden lion.

"Queen Merida had me tell you. She's...concerned for Prince Kopa and Princess Kiara"

Simba sighed, "Thanks for the afford King Imani...but now I know what's this visit for...I must venture to one of my neighboring kingdoms"

Imani nodded in understanding. "Well...let's head back to the cave"

~O~

"So where are we going?" Yawned Jahi

The young lion was woken and was quite cranky, even though he always is.

"We're headed for the Riverland kingdom. So brighten up" smiled Chumvi

Simba groaned before pushing onward hoping to get to his friend's kingdom and home soon. As the group traveled, they didn't noticed Zazu had flew off. But he flew back in a panic.

"Sire!"

Simba stopped and looked up at his majordomo.

"There's a stampede ahead"

At the word stampede, Simba's eyes got a ghostly look as memories flowed. The golden lion shook his head before looking back at the bird.

"Where?"

"Just west from here"

Simba bolted, not even giving a chance for his group to gather what's happening. At this Jahi's ears perked as a smile slowly formed. Maybe I don't have to kill him? Maybe his hero nature will do it for me!

"Jahi!"

The young golden lion shook his head before staring into the crimson eyes of King Malka.

"Come on! Simba needs us!"

Jahi smiled before following the older lions the way Simba ran off to.

~O~

Skye woke to the feeling of being nuzzled. She blinked her aqua eyes opened to see her mother staring at her.

"My jewel, how do you like to come with me on a hunt"

Skye's eyes widen with excitement. With a good stretch the pale cream cub followed her mother out of the cave. The two walked for miles before a antelope herd was spotted. It wasn't large as most bust it was large enough to cause damage. If a stampede was to happen. Miranda looked down and crouched low before looking at Skye.

"Stay low, till I come back"

Skye nodded and watched her mother stalk over to the herd. As she watched her mother, she took the moment to pratatice. She crouched low to the ground, just like her mother did. But the weird thing was, the ground was shaking. Skye looked up and seen the herd chasing her mother. She tried to run but tripped over a rock. Skye tried to get up but something stepped over her. She soon came to realized that something was her mother.

~O~

Simba ran to a hill top where he had a clear sight of the stampede. But what really caught his eye was a lioness in the middle. His ambers eyes stayed glued to the light brown lioness. Praying to the kings that things will be alright. Once the stampede cleared Simba ran down.

"Miss...are you alright?"

The lioness took a few steps back before shaking her head. "I think so"

Simba looked down and gasped at what he saw. A small pale cream cub, a few months younger than Kopa and Kiara. Simba looked back up to stare into light blue pools.

"Um...where's your mate? Surely he won't have his mate out here alone with his cub while hunting"

The lioness sighed, "My mate is no longer with us"

Simba sighed deeply, "No pride?"

The lioness groaned, "No. Sir what's the meaning of this?"

Simba looked down before sighing again. "Look, I'm just concerned. Why don't you have a pride?"

"All the kingdoms I been to...turned me down"

Simba's eyes widen. He went to say something but his traveling party had came.

"King Simba!"

The lioness' eyes widen "You're a king?"

Simba nodded as Malka and Chumvi ran over. Jahi stayed in the back with Zazu hovering over.

"I would like you to join my pride"

The lioness couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Why?"

"No cub should live the life of a rouge...its hard"

The lioness thought for a minute before looking at her cub who hid behind her. She looked back up and sighed.

"I except"

Simba smiled, happy that she except. Some how the golden lion couldn't get enough of this lioness.

"Well...we should get going. Its not safe to travel at night"

The lioness nodded before picking up her daughter and looked to Simba. Simba smiled warmly before turning headed towards his borders. The three followed by Chumvi and Malka walked back up the hill. Jahi groaned and rolled his eyes before following the others as Zazu flew over the group of lions.
