Simba's Pride Remake (Private-TheWhistlerify and KingKovu44)

[KingKovu44]

"Wow, this is so cool!" Kopa exclaimed, taking in the sight of the vast lands that he would one day rule. "All this will one day be mine?" he asked, eager to know the answer.

[TheWhistlerify]

Simba's mind again went back to when he was there with Nala. It was also the very spot where they both decided that they were ready to have a cub together. And now he was there with that cub, and the irony again brought a smile to his face. He looked at his son and answered him. "Everything the light touches my son." he said, finding Kopa's eagerness exactly like his own as a cub.

[KingKovu44]

Kopa continued to look around at the vast expanse of savannah. It seemed to stretch on forever. In the distance, herds of zebra, Cape buffalo and wildebeest could be seen grazing. All of this delighted Kopa. For a brief moment, he allowed himself to fantasize about being king. He then looked at his father. "Is there any place that I have to stay out of?" he asked.

[TheWhistlerify]

Simba got a little bit serious as Kopa posed his question. "Yes. You see that place out of the light?" he pointed towards the outlands, "These are the outlands. You must never go there Kopa." despite how serious he seemed, he was still using his normal and calm tone.

[KingKovu44]

"Why?" Kopa asked. Now he was truly curious. What was so wrong with the Outlands? He sat at his father's side and calmly waited for the answer.

[TheWhistlerify]

Simba knew that he couldn't tell Kopa the reason yet. His son was just too young in order to know why the outlanders could not be trusted. The king decided to just say it simply without too many explanations, "It's dangerous." he would tell Kopa once he was older.

[KingKovu44]

"All right," Kopa replied. In his mind, he wondered what was so dangerous about that place. He then looked at his father. "Dad, are we going to see the rest of the Pridelands?" he asked.

[TheWhistlerify]

Simba smiled at his son's agreement, "Of course we are." he completely forgot that his son being so much like he was as a cub meant that his son would go to the outlands despite his father's warning.

[KingKovu44]

The walk began. Kopa listened intently, all the while making a plan to go to the Outlands when his parents least suspected it. "Thanks for bringing me, Dad. I'm having a great time!" he exclaimed, trying not to make his planning obvious.

[TheWhistlerify]

Simba smiled. His son's excitement reminded him so much of himself as a cub that it made him forget what a trouble magnet he also was back when he was a cub. "Glad you're having fun Kopa." he said, smiling down at his son.
