Found

"Manu!" called a golden lion.

This lion was large and powerful with distinctive golden-brown fur. He has broad shoulders and a pronounced jaw. He is extremely muscular, and has a thick red mane, and amber eyes. His stomach, muzzle, and paws are a light cream color. He also has a brown nose and tan whiskers.

A dark brown lion walked of the cave that sat on priderock.

"Yes big brother?"

This lion has a thick black mane with a small, distinguishing curl on the right side near his forehead. He has two tufts of darker brown fur on both elbows. His underbelly, muzzle, and paws are a tannish colour and his eyes are a deep brown. As far as build goes, Manu greatly resembles his brother, Mufasa.

Mufasa sighed, "Have you seen Zira?"

Manu shook his head, "Sorry Muffy. I haven't seen her."

Mufasa went to say something else but his and his brother's attention went to the rocky slope where his young adult son and pre teen daughter was climbing up.

"Kion, have you patrol today?"

A young lion with golden yellow fur and a red mane like his father's, shook his head. "No father. Kamaria and I was with Grandma Uru."

A pre teen goldish-tan lioness with a scruffy dark brown tuff on her head that leads a stripe down the back of her neck, lowered her dark brown eyes. "Sorry dad. I didn't mean to take Kion away from his duties...it's just we never have time anymore now that he been chosen to be king."

Mufasa instantly felt bad. His children has been close since Kamaira was born. It reminded the king when he and his brother were growing up. Now he and Manu drifted apart. "It's fine princess. But Kion, you're going to join me."

Kion dipped his head in understanding. "Yes, father."

Mufasa sighed deeply as he messaged his temples. He still didn't know where his mate was and it wasn't like Zira to be constantly absent.

Manu cleared his throat before moving his eyes from his niece and nephew to his brother. "Muffy why don't you and Kion go patrol and when you get back, I'm sure Zira will be here."

Mufasa sighed before desending down the rocky slope with his side following. While he was walking he couldn't stop thinking about his mate, wife, his life. But lately they have been growing apart. When he and Kion reached the border they were shocked to find two young lionesses there unconscious. Mufasa took a little time to look at them. One had light golden fur as the other had a creamy fur with a hint of peach. He looked around and found no trace of them with any one.

"Come on, son. We have to get them home." then he bend down and grabbed the light golden teen's nape before putting her on his large back. Mufasa took a moment before running back to priderock.

Kion nodded before doing the same with other lioness before running after his father. Both father and son said a silent prayer as they ran across the kingdom.

Oh. Great kings, please let us be not too late!

...

Prince Manu watched the princess head off with his mate and few other lionesses before he turned and headed for the northern border of the Pridelands. His real destination, the Elephant graveyard. Which he never understood why his great great grandfather, Jaal called the place an elephant graveyard when more animals then the elephants come to die and fortunately gives the bit of hyenas there food since his grandfather, Mohatu exiled them.

Manu's ears perked at the sound of a familiar female voice. Amongst that voice was another female that he recognize as well. The dark brown lion headed through the fog before coming towards a meeting with the hyena matriarch and his sister in law.

"Zira." Manu called as he apporched the two females.

The pale tan lioness, had a thick dark brown stripe on her head going down the back of her neck. Turned her head to look at the apporching prince. "Manu, I wasn't expecting you."

The two shared a forbidden loving embrace. For the two, the affair and their plans felt all more right.

Manu sighed before sitting. "Mufasa's getting antsy. You should go calm him down."

Zira nodded before turning to the female hyena. "Are we done, Shenzi?"

The pale grey hyena narrowed her dark yellow eyes. "Scar and his brothers are waiting. They are not known for their patience."

Zira stood and glared at the matriarch. "Manu will be meet the kings of the Eastern land. While I'll handle this nonsense."

Without waiting for a response, the pale tan lioness ran off leaving Manu and Shenzi behind. Zira ran across the Pridelands in the direction of priderock but not before taking a quick dip in a creek near the kopje. Zira climbed up the slope to see the sherman exit the small cave that was mostly used as a infirmary or a nursery.

"Rafiki? What are you doing here?"

The mandrill held on to his staff and looked at the queen with a hard expression. "The king and prince found two young lionesses. I came to check them over."

Zira nodded, although she wasn't really listening. "Oh well. Then you are dismissed." with a lash of her tail she went in the small cave near the slope.

"...my son and I rescued you. There's no reason to be afraid."

Zira turned her red eyes to the lionesses and had to fight back a growl. These lionesses are going to cause trouble she just knows. "Mufasa!"

The golden lion looked up and frowned when his amber eyes landed on his mate. "Zira. When in the great kings and queens were you?"

Zira rolled her eyes. "Seems you weren't worried enough."

Mufasa quickly turned to the awoke lionesses. "Excuse me for a moment." then he walked out of the cave with Zira. Once away from the cave entrance he turned on the pale tan lioness with a snarl. "I am doing my job as king. Which means I don't answer to you. But you answer to me. So where the hell have you been?"

Zira glared before turning and heading down the path from the peak. "None of your damn business."

Mufasa growled before he turned and faced his kingdom. He lowered his head and sighed deeply as he thought bitterly.

Where did things go wrong?
