We created the Moon Kingdom and the story was an old feud between them and the Pridelanders. I don't remember what this feud was, none of it got written down which I will explain later.
First let me introduce our starring characters; The Twin cubs of Kiara and Kovu. Imani meaning 'Faith', a girl and Makeo meaning 'results', a boy.
Imani is white like Kiara while Makeo is a light brownish tan color, a very lovely mix of both Kiara and Kovu's colors.
here is a drawing I did of them, over five years ago. Excuse the terrible art and the error of Makeo's color. Back then I was not sure why my scanner would scan all colored pencil greyish. Still don't really know, but it was a cheapo(and it's gone now).
I wish I could remember their personalities more. I believe Imani who is the slightly older one was the adventurous, outspoken one while Makeo was kind of shy and afraid of rule breaking.
They make friends with two Moon Kingdom cubs when they wonder off one day and spot a female cub cautiously making her way somewhere. Imani always curious drags Makeo along as she follows the strange cub. The Moon Kingdom is an unusual pride who live in hidden lands only accessible to them. This is first implied when the strange female cub encounters a rock and does something with her paw to be able to go past it. The prideland cubs don't understand this at all.
That is unfortunately all I remember of the first encounter. The mysterious female cub's name is Luna, the youngest child and only daughter of the Moon Kingdom's rulers King Hakima meaning 'Wisdom' and Queen Maganga meaning 'Witch doctor'.
Eventually Makeo befriends Luna and the two become close while Imani becomes involved with Luna's older brother and middle child Kisu meaning 'knife' (my fav name). Luna and Kisu have one more sibling. Eldest brother Asante meaning 'Thank you' (you may remember Rafaki chanting this word in some odd song in the scene of the original film where adult Simba chases him). Asante becomes involved with Vitani later impregnating her with his cub.
This is Henry, he is not a character in this fic but this is basically what Kisu and Asante look like. Common moon kingdom colors. He's supposed to have a blueish tint to him but again the scanner screwed with the colors.
A friend ended up ditching the fic, so my best friend and I had continued it on our own. We've never actually written down a fic before between us, usually we would just talk it out either in person or by phone. We tried by my mom's suggestion recording ourselves when we were into this HOND fic but the problem there was that we'd never want to go back and listen because we can't stand our voices lol. By the time we got AIM and begun to do it that way with another fic it was at least a year or two later and we were over the Lion King Mon Kingdom fic. This is why none of it is written down, except I wrote down the Moon Kingdom names. Luckily it was in this little notebook that's been in my outing bag for years or I would not have remembered the Moon Kingdom king and queen's names. My best friend and I actually came up with all the names. We googled Swahili names. The fanfic may be gone but I still am quite proud of what we did come up with and our character names.
I wish I had more pictures to share, mabye I'll attempt some. I might see if I can google and find this one picture I found years ago. I came across this site and in it's banner was a teenage lion with the colors I used for Henry. This lion inspired my idea of the Moon Kingdom colors, when I had seen it I remember thinking 'That's Asante'. I hope the place is still around.
