Disgraceful Prince
Miles away from the Mountain Pride in the Pride Lands near the Zuba River, King Simba and his pride gathered around. It was another sad day. For the lionesses, mainly Hatari. The creamy golden lioness was crying her eyes out. Why? Zira wasn't looking for revenge, she was getting rid of competition. Her victim was young Kopa, Hatari's son. Zira had attacked and killed the cub and tossed his body into the river. After the funeral Nala walked back to Pride Rock by Simba's side. Once in the cave the king and queen was greeted by their three cubs.
"Mommy is it true?" asked a golden beige cub, amber eyes full of tears
Simba sighed before nuzzling his son. "I'm afraid so Khairi"
A golden cub lowered her head as tears fell from her amber eyes. With a loud sob the princess ran to the back of the cave.
"Kiara!" Nala called after her eldest
Kiara and Kopa was close as her parents were when they were cubs. It hurted the future queen like it hurted her mother. Simba nuzzled his mate and motion for her to follow him. Nala nuzzled Khairi and another golden cub.
"Go with your grandparents"
Khairi and his second oldest sister nodded before running over to Johari and Sarafina with tears falling. Simba and Nala walked over to the peak where they were out of earshot.
"Nala, Zira is not going to stop. Not until all the male cubs are dead"
Nala took a deep breath. "What do you think we should do?"
Simba sighed deeply as he looked at the sun setting sky. "I'll send word to Malka. Maybe he could help"
Nala stiffened at the thought of her son being near that monster. "Will I be able to visit?"
Simba nuzzled her lovingly. "Of course"
"Your highness"
The king and queen looked up and seen a blue hornbill land in front with a bow.
"Yes Zazu" Simba said softly
"King Malka wishes to help you out. He will meet you by the borders tomorrow"
The golden lion dipped his head before watching the bird fly away.
"I guess we should go talk to Armani"
Simba nodded. "You go ahead. I'm going to talk to Khairi"
Nala nuzzled her mate before walking off to find the brown lioness. Simba sighed before walking in the cave.
-O-
Morning came pretty quickly for Khairi and Tanabi. They were informed about the day events and they didn't like it.
"I don't want to go!" Khairi cried
It was only Simba, Nala and Armani. They were near the water hole saying their goodbyes. Kiara and her little sister had said goodbyes to their brother and friend.
"It's for your safety. Listen when your older you can come back" Armani told her son
Tanabi sighed before looking at Khairi who was crying on his father's legs. Simba bend down and nuzzled him. Trying to keep his tears from falling his eyes.
"Sire!"
Simba pulled away from his son and looked at his majordomo.
"King Malka is at the border"
Simba sighed deeply before nuzzling his son along with Nala as Armani nuzzled Tanabi.
"Let's get this over with"
Nala and Armani nodded before picking up the cubs and followed Simba towards the southern borders.
