Rebellion -:Shadowfax, Tora, NalaObsessor, NalaKiaraLover :)

[Shadowfax]

Nova snapped out of her trance after a while and looked up. There, on the otherside of the waterhole was a lion cub. A male lion cub. She blinked, wondering if it were the sun playing tricks on her, but sure enough the cub remained. She walked round the edges of the water and stopped infront of the exhausted looking cub.

"Who are you?" She asked bluntly.

[Tora]

For a second Shinova just stared at the lioness peering at him. Shinova stood up walked toward the lioness, and sat down. "I'm a nobody. What is there to live for? My parents are dead, my pride is a joke, and life couldn't get any worse." Shinova replied in a melancholy tone.

[Shadowfax]

Nova tilted her head. This cub was very different from all the others she had encountered. She had thought of cubs to be happy, carefree and playful, yet this one had an odd maturity to him.

"Well, your still here, that's got to count for something, right?" Nova said, lowering her head to look at the cub.

She had a soft spot for cubs, though she rarely showed it with others around, so luckily for him they were alone at the moment.

[Tora]

"I guess it counts for something, but what have I to live for? I have no family, no home, and really no purpose." Shinova explained. "My life is nothing but a sad memory. If only I had purpose then I would feel better, but what purpose could I possible be for?"

Shinova laid back down. He felt worthless, and couldn't help but feel that he wished someone would just show him a hint of purpose.

[Shadowfax]

"Well, your only a cub... You've got your whole life ahead of you" Nova said, rolling him over onto his belly.

"And your in luck. Im sure the new king and queen would allow you to join our pride" Nova said, putting alot of sarcasm into the words 'king and queen'

[Tora]

Shinova was caught off guard by the lioness and rolled over. Shinova, a very curious cub, liked to ask questions even when he felt sad. "What do you mean? Do you not like your king?" Shinova asked shyly. "Did they do something to hurt you?"

[Shadowfax]

"No, they didn't hurt me.. They're just.... Let's say... Not my type" Nova said looking down at the cub.

"They are too soft. Not fit to rule a pride. They like to live easily and look down on the rest of the pride"

I will look after you cub, if you choose to come with me and join our pride. I promise you... things will change soon" Nova said slyly.

[Tora]

Shinova went with her, but he kept feeling like there was something that she wasn't telling him. He couldn't see how she could have something against a King that had such beautiful land. Shinova recalled his old pride where the land had become barren, and the King had refused to leave the land.

Though troubled with confusion Shinova finally felt a sense of belonging; like he had something too look forward too. As they walked he continued to have flash backs of his parents. He remembered his father standing up to the King, because he wanted a better life for his son; his mother's final stand in attempt to protect her mate and Shinova. It kept playing over and over in his head until he asked Nova, "You mentioned new King right? What happened to the old King?"

[Shadowfax]

Nova looked back at Shinova.

"Oh. The brat son of the previous king returned to the pridelands after years in exile. He defeated king Scar in battle and claimed the throne for himself. Scar was a good king, despite what the other lioness's say. He kept other lions out and kept the pride in order" Nova said, leaping ontop of a rock next to them.

"I never asked your name" She said.

[Tora]

"Oh uh, mine name is Shinova. I have to ask though; Why was the son of the previous king exiled?" he questioned. As he waited for a response he saw a large rock. He thought to himself, "What in the world is that? I have never once seen something so magnificent."
