[Open] Vengeance

One of the lionesses stepped forward. "And just who might you be? Do you know that the king is dealing with a serious issue right now? His father-in-law is trying to kill him," she said.

"Okay...I'm Inaki. I know, my fur looks stupid." Inaki replied. "But it doesn't upset me. I'm just different! Like Simba was, he grew up with a boar and a meerkat instead of with his mother. And he ate bugs instead of real meat, I know, because a little birdie told me..." The little bird landed on her shoulder. Inaki thought of a name for the little squirt. "Meet, Duma." Duma meant Cheetah in Swahili. The bird had little spots on it's wings and face, so it fit perfectly.

The lioness smiled. "Come. I will take you to meet King Kopa. He will decide if you can stay with us. I'm sure he will agree," she said.

[Kipekee]

Inaki smiled. She was underfed and very thirsty. "Thank you." She said. She gave Duma a quick lick on the wing and walked with the lionesses to the king.

Kopa looked up as the lionesses brought him a newcomer. "And who might you be?" he asked.

[Kipekee]

Inaki stopped. "I'm Inaki. I know my fur <i>does</i> look dumb...but I know everything about Priderock. I was born under Priderock. I was raised at Priderock, but exiled as a teen when Scar had his short time as king."

Kopa smiled eagerly. "Well, I'm Kopa, and this is my mate Vitani. Tell me, did you ever meet my parents when they were young?" he asked.

[Kipekee]

Inaki nodded. "I am a weety bit younger then they are. About a few weeks."

[KingKovu44]

Kopa looked down. "Well, the sad news is that they've now passed away, both of them. They've appeared to us in spirit form though," he said.

[Kipekee]

"What do you mean, spirit form?"
