[Open] Lion Quest

[KingKovu44]

Simba smiled as he watched them play. Time began to pass and Vitani and Kiara grew into beautiful, strong young adults. The king looked proudly as they approached him. "Vitani and Kiara, you have become wonderful lionesses. Soon, very soon, you will go on your first hunt," he said.

They were not the only ones who Matured. Damon grew into a fine male ion, though his mane was just as tiny. It didn't bother him. Smaller mane ment he wouldn't get as hot and he could still hunt on his own. Makaila grew into a beautiful lioness. She and Damon had become mates at this point. Marshride never recovered, however Yuna and his Pride choose to move to the jungle where Timon's colony made there home. Naming it Hakuna Mata. Damon and Makaila went with them. Kiara and Kovu were starting to get close too.

"Yes, so is mom going to lead our Party?" Kiara asked. "Yeah, we don't do so well hunting alone." Vitani added.

[KingKovu44]

Simba nodded. "Yes, though by custom, one of you must dispatch the prey," he said.

"I will accompany my daughters. Vitani and Kiara I must say you have grown to be so beautiful, just like your grandmothers." Nala said as she smiled.

[KingKovu44]

Simba smiled at Nala. "Kiara seems to be getting closer and closer with Kovu. That means that I will soon have to find a suitor for Vitani. It will have to be one who will love her for who she is, not the fact that she is a princess who will one day be queen," he said.

[TheLionQueen]

"Simba we will find a lion for Vitani." Nala said nuzzling him.

"Vitani." Zira said as she came out from the bushes, "My how you've grown."

[KingKovu44]

Simba looked over at Vitani, but was interrupted by Zira's arrival. "Zira, what are you doing here?!" he demanded.

[TheLionQueen]

"To see my daughter of course." Zira said looking at Vitani, "Oh you look just like your pride sisters, that little tuft is so cute." Zira said acting like a caring mother so Vitani would crawl back to her. "Or has the man you call father never told you, your not his daughter your scars cub, and mine. You are also a couple months older than Kiara you were born before Simba even took over, and killed your real father."

[KingKovu44]

Simba frowned at Zira and then looked over at Vitani. "Don't listen to her! You are my daughter, not hers!" he said, hoping Zira would decide to leave.

[Sixshot1988]

Vitani was stunned. "No, it can't be true, that's impossible!" Vitani cried as her early cubhood memories came back. "No! No!" She cried out again as she fell to the ground as Kiara tried to comfort her. "Daddy, it can't be true." Kiara said to her father, hoping to the great spirit and the great kings Zira was lying. "Anger built up in Kiara as she angerly tackled Zira and started to fight her. The rougher play fights she had with Damon stuck with her as she attacked Zira viciously.
