Chapter 14: A threat?

Clouds have invaded the sky of the Pridelands, when you look up to see the sky, you will not see the sky, but you will see the clouds. The dark clouds cry and mourn the loss of Mufasa and Simba.

Rain began to pour, the Pridelands will never be the same.
A young lion cub that resembles Simba, but with light blue eyes, is the second male lion of Priderock.

This lion cub's name is Tojo, he was found by a lioness by the name of Adia, she took him and raised him like a son.

A few hours have past since Scar became King, and the hyenas have joined the pride, Adia gathered all the lioness's of Priderock, she needs to talk with them, what she is about to say is very important.

Adia eyes each and every lioness, she was sorrowful as the rest of them, but they couldn't mourn the loss of a King and a young Prince all the time.

"My friends, please listen to what I have to say." Adia said.

The lioness's turned their gaze from the ground to Adia.

"Tojo, my son, could be a threat to Scar's reign, if we conceal Tojo, and train him just incase Scar gets out of paw, we could send Tojo to defeat Scar, and declare my son as king; only if it is okay with you." Adia said.

Sarabi was still kind of the Queen of Priderock, she stood as straight as possible, up above, a cloud moved, and the light of a star showered down and lit up Sarabi's fur.

The lioness's blinked, they thought it was too dramatic.

"I agree that we should train this young lion cub, Scar was a good lion, he just doesn't know how to rule a Kingdom, I hope he can prove us wrong." Sarabi said.

Sarafina was thinking about her daughter's future. She opened her muzzle to speak.

"Well, if Tojo becomes King, who will become his Queen?" Sarafina asked.

As soon as she finished the sentence, the whole group looked at her, almost trying not to smile.

Sarafina backed away, "What?" She said.

Adia walks up to Sarafina, and placed her paw on her shoulder.

"My sister, I think his queen should be-" Adia began but was cut off by the rest of the group.

"Sister?" The group of lioness's said in confusion.

Sarafina shrugged her shoulders, "Adia, is my sister." Sarafina said.

Sarabi cleared her throat, "There is more important subjects to discuss, then talking about siblings." Sarabi said firmly.

"Sorry Sarabi, you're right." Sarafina said.

"Adia, please tell me who should be Tojo's queen, "if" Scar gets out of paw?" Sarabi asked.

Adia pawed the ground, "Well, there is a big age difference but, I don't think Tojo will mind." Adia said.

"My son already has grown fond of one of the lioness's here at Priderock, he won't stop talking about her." Adia continued.

"Well who?" the group asked.

Adia pointed to her sister, Sarafina.

Sarafina was taken aback, she did not know what to think, Tojo had feelings for her, she blushed.
She covered her muzzle with her paws to make sure none of them saw her blushing.

Sarabi smiled a little, "You were blushing, Sarafina." Sarabi said.

Boom! Thunder crackled, it scared the whole group. They looked around at Priderock, they all frowned, for a brief few minutes they have stopped mourning, and had felt happy, but not anymore.

The rest of the lioness's left, but Sarabi, Sarafina, and Adia stayed behind.

Sarafina looked at her sister, "So, Tojo likes me a lot?" Sarafina asked.

Adia nodded her head, "Aye; once he first saw you, he ran to me and sayed that you were so beautiful, he asked me if you were an angel." Adia said.

"I guess I'll give Tojo a chance as a mate, when he is older; but I want him to choose, if he is willing to take me as his mate." Sarafina said.

Adia nodded her head.

"Adia, go get your son as quickly as possible, and take him to Rafiki's tree, Tojo shall be trained there, and he shall live in that tree; we must tell Scar that we drove your son out of the Pridelands, for he won't be a threat." Sarabi said.

Adia listened and did what Sarabi has told her.

Sarafina looked at Sarabi, " Do you think I'll fall for Tojo?" Sarafina asked Sarabi.

Sarabi smiled weakly, "Well, you blushed at the thought of him as your mate, so I guess that is a yes." Sarabi replied.

Sarabi left Sarafina, and walked back to Priderock.

Sarafina was thinking if Tojo would fall for her, would he really care if she was older than him.

"I'm the youngest lioness, except for my daughter, so it won't really matter, and he isn't blood related." Sarafina thought.

She looked up to the dark sky, and smiled, she just was hoping that if he did become her mate, that he would never leave her, like Mufasa has.
