All will be revealed soon. Enjoy.

Time seem to fly after the bittersweet farewell of Teshi. Soraya and everyone didn't know she was running off to be with Stephen. Her excuse was that she wanted to travel. So no one tried to stop her but made sure that Teshi came back to visit.

Currently, as the sun shined brightly and bathed the Pridelands with a golden glow and everyone was into their lives for the day. Queen Kiara sat on the peak of priderock looking over the kingdom thinking about what has happened since the departure of one of her best friends. The twins were rambunctious, adventurous nine month old cubs. Always trying to out do the other.

Kiara's ears twitched at the sound of her sons in their daily competitive argument. She was concerned, this couldn't be healthy. Which make her think about what Nadra said the day that the twins was born. The golden orange lioness shook her head to knock those thoughts out. It was decided that both of the boys would rule, it wasn't a law that said there had to be one king.

Kiara stood and headed down priderock's promontory where she came across her sons in front of the main cave in another stand off.

"I'm faster than you!" yelled a nine month old pale gold cub with a dark red tuff on his head.

"How is that?! When you run as fast as a snail!" a creamy gold cub with a dark brown, almost black tuff with a significant curl above his right eye, yelled back.

"Take that back, Lin-Manuel!"

Lin-Manuel blew a raspberry before smirking, his brown eyes gleaming. "Make me, Kopie!"

Kopa growled before pouncing and that's when Kiara decided it was time to step in. Just as she saw her oldest son chop down on his brother's ear.

"Kopa the second, stop bitting your brother's ear this instance!"

The pale gold prince looked up with blue eyes shinning innocence. "I didn't do anything, mom."

Kiara who raised a eyebrow as she narrowed her brown eyes before growling lowly, not enough to scare her son but enough for him to stop the lying. "Do you want to spend the rest of the day with me and Aunt Anna while teach your sister hunting?"

Kopa paled and flatten his black rimmed ears against his head. "No mom."

Kiara nodded satisfied with her youngest answer. "Now you and your brother go run and play...nicely." the golden orange lioness made sure to stretch out nicely.

"Yes mom." Kopa and Lin-Manuel replied at once before dashing off.

Kiara shook her head with a small smile before heading towards the waterhole where no doubt, Anna and Furaha were waiting.

...

"Took you long enough." groaned a creamy brown cub with a black tuff on his head as he rolled his blue eyes.

Lin-Manuel glared at his friend. "Hey! It's hard traveling with someone that moves like a snail!"

"Or a turtle!" came a cute little giggle from a light cream cub who walked over with playful dark brown eyes.

Skye wasn't born in the Pridelands. She like the queen and Laurens was adopted. The light cream cub was actually adopted by Hamilton and his mate, Laurens. The brothers remember that day well, after all if it wasn't for them, Skye wouldn't be here at all.

A few months ago

After having their royal lessons, Kopa and Lin-Manuel had their daily race. Lin-Manuel was determined to beat his brother, but being a little bit smaller than his pale gold brother makes things tricky. That's why Kopa promised to show Lin-Manuel how run faster, the reason why the creamy gold cub was smiling as he caught his breath.

"Did you see? I actually kept up the entire time."

Kopa smiled at his brother, pride beaming from his young blue eyes. "Told you I could help. Now to work on your fighting."

Lin-Manuel frowned before folding his ears back. He was about to respond when he noticed something out of place. Running across the Pridelands not far ahead was a small light cream cub. Had to be no more than a month, she had scraps and bruises. Fresh blood leaking down her body. Behind her was large light cream light with a black mane and from where Lin-Manuel was it didn't look like it was a friendly game of tag.

"We got to tell dad!"

Kopa was confused before he saw what his brother seen and nodded. Only they didn't find their father but they did find their Uncle Hamilton.

Hamilton dashed across the Pridelands and leapt in between the exhusted and abused cub and the snarling light cream lion.

"Get out of my way, punk!"

Hamilton looked at the cub who no later passed out as soon as she seen Hamilton. The creamy beige lion growled before turning his dark brown eyes on the light cream lion. "Not a chance! Now I'm going to ask you to leave!"

"Not without my daughter!"

Hamilton couldn't believe this. "All the more reason why you are never going near this girl again! Now get out!"

The light cream lion growled, his dark brown eyes burning until he seen the other lion's own dark brown eyes glowing. "You'll regret this, my friend."

Hamilton watched the unconscious cub's father run off before he grabbed the badly bleeding cub and ran towards priderock.

"Guys!"

Kopa and Lin-Manuel shook their heads to end the memory before looking up to see their uncles and Taka looking down at them.

Hamilton smiled before walking over to his nephews. "I'm glad you got here because we need to start your lessons."

Kopa shared a look with his brother before looking at the creamy beige, dark brown mane lion. "Um...Uncle Hamilton...we're already having our lessons."

Laurens laughed before shaking his head. "No. Another lesson that is very important. Yes the both of you will be king but one of you will also have another job."

Lin-Manuel swallowed before tilting his head. "What job would that be?"

Hamilton chuckled before responding. "Why the leader of the Lion Guard of course."
