Over the years after the ceremony, sunset has raised to the morning where Ken, now around 12 years old looking at the sunset before ran out from his room where he has to wake up his dad because today is the day where he's going to take him for a lesson about something.
Ken would walking passed all of the handmaiden who were doing their job to making sure there's none of the dirt across the castle before Ken opened the door to his parents bedroom where he ran toward his sleeping parents.
Dad! Dad! Come on, Dad! Wake up! Ken would moving the blanket just to walking up his father for this very important day that he promised him.
Saw this, Barbara would looking over to his sleeping husband with a loving smile on her face and muttered George... your son is awake...
Before sunset, he's your son... He muttered jokily to his wife, before turning his head at his son who would only pouting at his father and crossed his arms together.
You promised that you would take me to the sunrise! Ken stated, while still pouting and crossed his arm as the prince was waiting for his father to wake up.
George letting out a soft chuckle before getting up from the bed where he letting out a loud yawn that would wake the queen up from her sleep Alright, Sport. I'm up... get dressed and we'll be there right now.
Overjoyed by this, Ken headed back into his room to getting dressed where he would wear a royal black leather coat around his red shirt, black pant and black shoes where he headed outside from the castle where both of his parents would followed suit where George walking the other side of the castle. Before headed to the other side of the castle, Ken would give his mother a hug and headed into where his father headed into while Barbara only smiled to seeing both his husband and son went away while she must do his duty as the queen.
In top of the castle where the sun slowly shining down below where both Ken and George looking at the sun before the king spoken in a soften tone Look, Ken. Everything that's the light touched throughout the land is our kingdom to protect to balance the Circle of life. Ken would only looked in awed from what his father told before he continued A king's or queen's time as ruler over the lands will rises and fall like the sun but our legacy continued on throughout the new generation. One day, Ken, my time will be up when the sun set on the same time and you'll rise as the new king.
And everything that's the light touches will all belonged to me? Ken looking at his father with confusion, before George nodded in response to this. Ken walking through the land until his eyes caught a glance of a dark and shadowy place that seemed to having a red flag that has a Hyena skull on it What about that shadowy place, Dad?
Looking confused at what his son saying until he looking at it and gave off a serious face, putting his hand on Ken shoulder That's far beyond our borders where the Hyena clan, the most ruthless and heartless clan of Anthros lived in. So do not go there in all cost, Ken.
Wait, I thought the king can do anything he wanted since he was a ruler of the kingdom? Ken was confused to why he can't go to the shadowy place where there are heartless clan of killers living there.
George would only smiling at this, before walking out alongside his son Well. There are so much more than getting what you want every time. Come and you will see what I meant. Ken would following out from the castle to seeing what he would meant by that?
~*~
As Ken and George walking through the grassland of the African Kingdom, a herd of Antelope Anthro hopping through the grass to finding more food in the other side of the grassland Everything you see exists together in this balance of life where it continued throughout centuries with no end, as King you must understand the balance of life and respected all of the creatures like the small, crawling ants to the leaping antelope.
But Dad? Don't we eat the antelope when we're hungry? Ken stared at his father in confusion since they hunt them for food to survive.
George once again nodded to his son question Yes. But you must understand this, when we died, our corpse will becomes the grass and the Antelope Anthro eat the grass to survive and so, we're all connected to the Great Circle of Life. Soon, both George and Ken staring at the herd hopping away into their direction.
Soon, Matilda flying up into both the father and son before landed safely with her wing Good morning, sire. I got some morning reports for you to hear.
Good morning to you, Old friend. You can fire away with the report. George smiled at his old friend who has some reports to showing to King.
Matilda started to clearing her throat while fixing her tie and soon, started to sing.
MATILDA
' Chimps are going apes, giraffes remain above it all, Elephant remembers, though just I can't recall, crocodiles are snapping up fresh offer from the bank showed interested in my nest egg but I quickly said "No Thanks!" '
While both George and Ken was listening to the report, Ken took noticed of a small yet buff Gopher Anthro dug out from the ground where his face was covered in dirt. Ken took noticed of this and pounced at the gopher who saw this and dug underground from being pounced which made Ken hit his head down into the face and shook his head off.
MATILDA
' We didn't pay the Hornbill and the Vultures have a hunch Not Everyone invited will be coming back from the lunch. '
Ken would looking back at the Hornbill Anthro reports before his ear picked up the same gopher Anthro that he encountered before, and soon he will trying to catch the gopher with determination in his eyes.
MATILDA
' This is the morning report! Give you the long and the short every grunt, roar, and snort! Not a tale I distort on the morning report!'
George would took noticed of his son trying to pouncing at the gopher before the prince missed his target and only hit the rock that made Ken whined in pain at this, George walking up to his son with a smirk on his face What are you doing, Son?
Just pouncing, that's all... Ken responded to his father while rubbing his head from hitting into the rock.
Looking back at the female Hornbill Anthro who was distracted to her own son, George started to began whispering his son with a mischievous smirk on his face Let's your old man to showing you of how would it be done.
MATILDA
' The buffalo have got a beef
About this season's grass, Warthogs have been thwarted
In attempts to save their gas
Flamingoes in the pink and
Chasing secretary birds Saffron is this season's color
Seen in all the herds '
Stay low into the ground and remain quiet so they can't hear you from faraway... George was training his son to showing how he must to do so he can pounced on his prey Take it very slowly, one more step and...
MATILDA
' Moving down the rank and file To near the bottom rung Far too many beetles are
Quite frankly in the dung- '
... Pounce! Soon, Ken would tackled Matilda into the ground which made George laughed which annoyed Matilda to no end due to the Prince interfering to her song before Ken started to sing her song.
KEN
' This is the morning report! Give you the long and the short Every grunt, roar, and snort! Not a tale I distort on the morning report! '
In that point, Ken was having fun with playing on the Hornbill Anthro before grabbing her by her tail feathers and throwing her down below the hill.
That's my boy! George was proud to seeing Ken getting better with his pouncing where he rubbing his son hair while Ken was smiling at this.
Back at Matilda, she was groaning from this humiliating moment that has happened to her until the same Gopher that Ken was trying to catch popped out from the ground Madam Matilda, we got recent report from Captain Martin across the other side of the kingdom.
This got Matilda attention from what the gopher said about the report from James, who she knew, was the toughest Lion Anthro alongside His Majesty and this is new for her 'Huh, a report from James? I hoped this would be important or that will be the waste of my time...'
Now, this time... George was about to say something until Matilda quickly flying toward the king with her eyes widened in panicking and fear in them before she trying to catch her breath.
Matilda was trying to catch her breath from flying over to George before looking back at the confused king Your majesty! Two members of the Hyena Clans and their female leader has entered the Pridelands! James and the others guard are trying their best to fighting back as they need your help now!
George was angry at how did the Hyena Clan and their ruthless leader got over the borders and caused trouble, he shook his head at this and headed into the direction where the battle taking place Matilda, take Ken home as I don't want him to get hurt in battle.
Before Ken was about to say anything, his father already left to the battle so he can helped out James and the others against the Hyena Clan. Ken groaned in frustration where he would walking back into the castle Man, I never get to go anywhere because I'm just some dumb kid...
Matilda chuckled softly at this, while flying over to the Prince to taking him back into the castle Oh, don't worry about that, Young Master. When you're fully grown to be big and strong as your father and became King. Then, you can chase those murderous, stubborn, heartless, and stupid thieves from dawn until dusk.
