[Closed] The Circle of Life Continues

Nala felt Simba's nuzzle and she purred, she listened as Kopa spoke to Bianca and then looked towards her. Nala nuzzled Kopa, "Your welcome. You and Sheba will rule wonderfully." she added smiling. "Take care of Bianca, watch after her." she said with a smirk. Nala made her way down Pride rock and motioned for Simba to join her by the watering hole.

Bianca felt her mother grab her scruff and she whimpered softly. After feeling the cold wind Bianca felt her mothers chest fur warmth and curled up, yawning softly.

"I will, Mother. I will do it just as you and Father did for me," Kopa said. He then went to join Sheba. He admired Bianca. "Oh my love, she's just as beautiful as you," he stated.

"Thank you, Kopa," Sheba purred licking her daughter again. She looked at the pale cub and back up to Kopa. "She is beautiful."

"We'll have to protect her as best we can, just like how my grandmother took my father to the jungle to protect him from Scar when my grandfather was murdered," Kopa declared. In his mind, he was determined to protect Bianca from any danger that might show itself. For one thing, though Zira and Kali were dead, their daughter, Vitani, had fled Pride Rock and hadn't been seen since. There was no telling what, if she was even still alive, she might be thinking. For all Kopa knew, she could be wanting revenge.

Bianca opened her hazel eyes and looked up at Kopa, using her small paws she batted at his furry mane playfully.

Nala finally made her way to the water hole and the old lioness laid down in the soft grass, she took in the sights of her home. Her body was growing weaker and weaker as the days carried on and the seasons passed, she took a few laps of the refreshing water.

Kopa smiled proudly. He could tell that his daughter was going to be a strong lioness, just as his mother and grandmothers had been. For a long moment, he wished he could see his grandmothers again. He had been so heartbroken when they had passed away. It was then that he remembered that his parents would pass away themselves very soon. He told himself that they would always be with him, watching him and his family from the stars. He looked at Bianca. "May the great kings and queens of the past protect you forever," he said.

Sheba yawned and laid her head down to rest. The excitement of the day had her tired too. Blissful with her daughter in her arms, she drifted off into a pleasant catnap.

Just then, Kas'im the jackal, who had been Kopa's friend ever since they had met again as adolescents, entered the den. "Greetings. I am sorry that you didn't see me at the presentation ceremony this morning, but I assure you I was there," he began. He then got a good look at Bianca. "She's just as beautiful as her mother," Kas'im commented, whispering slightly to avoid waking the newborn.

[toboe5tails]

Sheba heard Kas'im enter in her light sleep and awoke to hear him comment on Bianca's beauty. "Thank you, Kas'im." She said, licking Bianca again, as the newborn's fur had gotten a little scruffy in her mothers embrace.

[KingKovu44]

"I'm glad that you and Kopa have found such happiness," Kas'im said before turning to leave. Kopa thanked his friend and said goodbye. "I can't wait to see what the future brings," Kopa told Sheba.
