There's one way to find out, keep reading. Enjoy.

A pre-teen goldish-peach lion, no more than a year and a month, walked up a sandy mound. He cleared his throat as he looked at the large orange-tan lion with fearful greenish-blue eyes.

"Father?"

Saren opened his eyes and turned to his most disappointment. Brandt. A child he had with Zira's sister, Elena. Her mother wasn't pleased about the situation but was happy about Scar's line spreading. The reason why he wasn't pleased with his son because he was born scawny, a runt. Shouldn't have been too disappointed after all his cousin and grandfather was born with issues.

But it's been a frustrating bunch of months. Zira's plan fell, he still blames Kovu. Things would have gone smoothly if that bastard kept to the damn plan and not fuck the king's mate. If he wanted to fucked something so bad, he would of had the chance sleep with his daughter.

Now Zira is planning another plan to get revenge on for Scar along with getting revenge on Taka for betraying her. But no stress, he already has another plan forming.

With a growl that caused his son flatten his ears and whimpered. Saren rolled his dark brown eyes in annoyance before standing and heading down the mound.

"What did you want. Aren't you suppose to be looking after Kovu and Nala's son, Aadi while they're speaking with Zira."

Brandt whimpered before lowering his head. "Mom is watching Aadi. I was told to tell you that King Lucius is here."

Saren turned to look at his son with a look of wonder. "Did he say what he's doing here."

Brandt nodded merely his ears still against his head, his small brownish mane falling into his eyes. "He's requesting your assistance..."

...

Raiden has been in pain a more than few hours. She knows why, she's going into labor. That's what she wanted to tell her family and Jasper that day her mother showed. The three months since King Lucius and Linda showed up, she has been dealing with her pregnancy privately. Until now, she can't keep it a secret, the reason why she was in the infirmary cave.

"Do you know what's wrong?" Jasper asked a elder orange brown lioness who was currently looking over Raiden.

Along in the cave was Kion and Cullen, they also waited for the satus of their friend.

The elder Sherman lioness, Makini gave a soft smile. "Raiden is fine. More or less."

Kion tilted his head, raising a eyebrow in confusion. "More or less? What's going on?"

Makini responded with a glint in her aged amber eyes. "Raiden has gone into labor. It's not too serious yet, considering that her water hasn't broken. But she needs rest."

The three lions in the infirmary knew that means they couldn't bombraid the dark gold lioness with questions.

"Princess Raiden!"

Everyone in the cave looked towards the cave entrance looked and saw a creamy grey, light brown mane lion. To the Raiden and everyone else in the cave it was one of the lieutenants of the Artemis guards, Noah.

"Noah? What's going on?" the Raiden asked from her position on the floor.

His blue eyes was full of concern and fear. "We're under attack and I can't find Prince Philip any where."

Cullen frowned as he realized something. "Noah? What about the rest of the royals?"

Noah lowered his head and everyone could see the tears rolling down his face. "King Caesar sacrificed himself to save a few of the pride but it was in vain. I managed to get away from the slaughter with Prince Philip but we got separated."

Raiden understood what that meant. Until Philip shows up she was active queen. Raiden looked up at her friends and Jasper who were the highest ranking guards. "Evacuate. I won't risk what's left of the pride knowing they are not ready for a fight or that there's no way to win. Gather who you.."

Raiden was cut off by a burning branch being thrown in the cave causing everyone to cough. Noah coughed before looking at everyone coughing and choking on the smoke. He made eye contact with the closest being to him and that was Jasper.

"Protect the new queen at any cost."

The pale white lion barely nodded before watching the creamy grey lion grab the branch and charge out of the cave.

"We have to go. Now!"

The group ran out of the cave following the queen's orders. After Jasper and Kion helped Raiden to the way-point where Cullen waited with Makini and a few members of the pride. Cullen's group was bruised and tired from fighting their way out.

"What now, Queen Raiden?" asked one of the survivors, a year and eight month old goldish-blonde teen lioness.

"We stay low." out of the vines falling from the tall trees limped a tawny, brownish mane lion. He was covered in scars and blood.

"Philip!" Raiden cried before moving as fast as she could over to embrace her brother. "What happened?"

"Those bastards from the Waterfall kingdom and the Eastern Mountain territory attacked. I know Saren and his goons, they're not going give up so soon."

"The same with Lucius." Cullen added.

"What are we going to do, Philip?" asked a tannish-peach lioness.

Philip looked at Raiden who was grimacing. "Raiden? Are you hurt?"

Raiden shook her head. "I'm going into labor. We need move I don't think I could hold out much longer."

Kion knew that the Pridelands was the best option but it was too far and he wasn't ready to return. But he had a better idea. "There's a place not too far, my dad said he grew up there. It'll take them a long time to find us but it is safe for Raiden to give birth."

Philip wasn't sure but this place was the only way to secure his sister's health, then so be it. "Lead the way, Kion."
