The moon shined brightly over the Pridelands as all the animals were sound asleep well except for a couple of cubs named Kion and Kiara,they laid next to their mother not ready to go to bed not until they hear a bedtime story. "Come on dad can we hear one, please?"Kiara begged and Kion smile Simba chuckled unable to say no "Alright you two one story and then it's off to sleep."Simba said "can it be scary?"Kion said causing Nala to form an unsure expression on her face "uh I'd rather not have you two experience nightmares." "We can handle it mom we promised, come on dad one scary bedtime story."Kion begged as Kiara begged with him.

Simba looked at Nala who was still unsure about it but then decided to do it, "alright,I'm going to regret this."Simba said as he began to think of something and that was when he thought of a perfect story...well It was more of a warning, "Ok so this little story is about the monsters that is said to live in an rainforest far from here and it is known to come after elephants "Simba said in a spooky voice "what is it?"Kiara asked curiously "not what,who, it's called the Emela Ntouka."Simba corrected further confusing kion and kiara.

"This creature is said to be around the size of an Elephant, it has brownish to gray in color skin, with a heavy tail and one long horn on its snout,and it's eyes is said to be filled with nothing but rage and contempt for Elephants."Simba said "why does it hate elephant so much?"Kiara asked wondering how any creature could hate a gentle giant like an elephant. "I don't know it just does, it probably had a bad encounter with one,the same thing probably happened with Mokele Mbembe with hippos."Simba said causing kion to cock his head "Mokele membrane?"

"Not important,Emela Ntouka is a very very dangerous creature that should not be encounter by anyone."Simba said "How do you know so much about this monster Dad?"Kiara asked "Aminifu told me about it when I was a cub, he didn't see him for himself but he said that his grandfather once fought Emela Ntouka."Simba said "What happened?"Kion asked curiously "i'm not going to tell you all of it because it is too violent but Aminfu's grandfather was taking a little trip until he came onto Emela Ntouka's territory, Emela Ntouka wasted no time in attacking him he charged and charged trying to get at Aminfu's grandfather, frustrated the Emela Ntouka let out this frightening primal bellow that didn't sound like it belonged in our world or in our time, Emela Ntouka would have killed Aminfu's grandfather if it wasn't distracted by some noise and Aminfu's grandfather escaped with his life but he was injured."Simba said completely intimidating Kion and Kiara Emela Ntouka sounds like an unstable creature and a menace.

"Will this Emela Ntouka come here?"Kiara asked now frightened "No Kiara he prefers the rainforest."Simba said "and besides Emela Ntouka isn't real, he's a character your father made up now story time is over time for bed."Nala said as Kion and Kiara laid down next to her and began to drift off to sleep Simba glanced out side the den to the night sky and darkness,before laying down next to his family and going to sleep. Unaware that miles from the prideland in a unknown forest the soft wind blew trees around as a very very aggressive sounding roar echoed throughout the night air and the ground shook as something massive ran through the darkness of the forest.

The End
