---Next Morning----
It was early in the morning and Nala was sure of that, the quiet seemed to consume the den she shared with Simba. Her blue eyes peered out of the den and barely saw the sun rising and the lioness stepped back towards Simba. She never woke up this early, a small shiver passed by her and she lay back down to her belly. “Simba...” she said in a soft tone and nudged her King. It seemed so quiet and she could hear her own breathing, a sad look crossed her aged features. Nala moved closer to Simba and listened closely, a gasp left her mouth. Tears filled her eyes and she rested her head on Simba’s paws for a few minutes, she knew age would take one of them first. “Goodbye my love.” she whispered and nuzzled his fluffy mane.
Tears flowing from her eyes Nala slowly pulled her achy body up and made her way out of the den to greet the sunrise. The sniffling lioness wasn’t sure who to wake and she let the rays warm her body before moving to Kopa’s den. Nala felt the wind pass by her and she inhaled it slowly, “A great King’s passing…” she whispered into the air. Slowly Nala stepped around Sheba and Bianca being careful not to wake everyone, Nala nudged Kopa. “Kopa, wake up I need to speak with you outside.” she said softly. Pain ached her heart and she slowly made her way back out and reclined back waiting for Kopa.
