Vitani smiled at Mheetu's story. Remembering the Pridelands was the only thing that kept them both alive out here. "Lovely story Mheetu. I remember the Pridelands like it was yesterday." She said, looking throughout the pride. Alma started her sad story about the mane-less lion. "That's a sad story! I hope that lion rest in peace." She said in sorrow. "Well, I have a not-so-wonderful story about a fight in the Pridelands." She paused, looking around.

"A lion named Scar lived in the Elephant Graveyard with his evil mate Zira and their son, Nuka. Zira and Scar are my true heritage. You'll never guess it though. Back to story, Scar is Mufasa's evil jealous brother who wants to steal the throne from him. Zira and Scar teamed up with with a huge pack of hyena's. They all came to PrideRock one day in order to fight my father for the throne. My father, got every lion and lioness he could find in the PrideLands. To help him fight for the throne. The lionesses and lions fought a deadly battle with the many hyenas. My father fought his own brother, when Scar was down. He told Mufasa, it was the Hyena's plans. The Hyena's got outraged, and when Scar tried the talk to them. They attacked and left him with little life, to die slowly. Leaving Zira to morn on her own. Nobody has seen her since." Vitani ended her story, looking throughout the pride and at Mheetu. "Mheetu was just a young cub then, I was a young teenager." She smiled at Mheetu.

Looking around, she wondered what the lions were thinking. "Anyone else have a story?" She asked, trying to make it not awkward.

Maximus has his mouth wide open at the story. "Great story!" He boomed, being the first to talk after Vitani spoke. He looked to the shivering son of his. "It's okay Zuwa," He whispered, licking his cheek. Then turning to Himili. "I hope this never happens here." He licked her cheek, and nuzzled her neck.

"Nice story Vitani." Alma said politely.
"This is the story of the ungrateful lion, In a dense forest, lived a fierce lion. He was very cruel. One day the lion was caught in a hunter’s trap. One by one many animals passed by. “Please helped me!” pleaded the lion. But none of the animals listened to his plea.

After a while, a man happened to come into the forest. He saw the lion. The lion said, “I will die of hunger and suffocation. Please help me out, O! kind man.” The man was thoughtful. “I assure you I will never harm you. Please help me now. The hunter will be anytime now,” said the lion.

The man felt sorry for the lion and set the beast free. As soon as the lion was free, he let out a fierce roar. “I have been trapped in the cage for a long time. I am hungry. I will have to eat you,” said the lion, looking at the man. “But you promised that you would not harm me,” said the man, in a meek tone. “Yes, I said that. But only to convince you to free me. Now, I am terribly hungry,” said the lion.

The terrified man thought quickly. He said, “Alright, you can eat me. But let a judge decide if you are right in eating the person who has rescued you.”

The lion agreed. He was sure that no animal would speak against him. Just then a jackal came that way and the lion asked the jackal to be the judge. He addressed the lion, “Sir, would you please show me how it all happened?” The lion was only too willing. He entered the cage and closed the cage door. The jackal immediately bolted the cage from outside.

“Now the lion is trapped again. Run away, you foolish man! And never offer help to anyone without thinking,” said the jackal. The frightened man ran for his life. And the ungrateful lion was trapped in the cage again. The hunter came and took the lion away." Alma told the story she always loved telling story's to the others

Zuwa laughed at the stupid lion and the tricky jackal. "Do you have one, dad? Mom?"

Himili nodded and cleared her throat. "It wasn't a very pleasant day in the Pridelands," she began, and smiled at Vitani's and Mheetu's puzzled looks, "and my great-grandfather, Jabari, was walking. He didn't much like the Pridelands in those days. King Mohatu was a fantastic ruler, but, to my great-grandfather, he did have downsides. He didn't enjoy Jabari's company, as he was a very jokeful lion, while Mohatu took everything very seriously. Jabari thought this was discriminating, and decided to hate his king's company too. Every chance he had, he would insult the king, and insult him, and insult him. One day, my great-grandfather was cornered by a pack of cape dogs. He tried to humor them, at first, as that's the sort of thing hyenas like, but that only made them get more hyenas to hear the jokes-- and to fight, if necessary. Jabari was a strong lion, much like Maximus, here, but knew he could not defeat as many hyenas as there were. He roared and roared for his king to come. Mohatu, as much as he hated this lion, was a just king and decided to help him. He snuck up behind the hyenas and pounced, the same way he would pounce on a wildebeest. This scattered the hyenas, leaving Jabari alone. He shouted that Jabari should go, and he heard this and nodded. He slowly slunk away, but pounced on the great king. If he could kill him, he'd be a happy lion. Mohatu was larger than Jabari, and threw him off, knocking him out. When he was through with the hordes of hyenas, he dragged the lion to Pride Rock, where he formally exiled him. Jabari knew what he did was wrong, and wondered why he had those evil thoughts in the first place. He traveled for days and days until he found a small pride. He humbly asked the current king to join, and was accepted. He did his best to be a pleasant lion, and eventually, I lay before you as a new cub. So, although you have done something wrong, you have a chance to change." She sat back, and looked at Zuwa's happy face.
"I love story day!"

[TheLionQueen]

"Everyone has such great stories. I love how into it we are. It's a great way to forget the rain for a while." Alma said sitting near the pride,

[Kopalover]

Vitani smiled at the stories being told. "Great stories!" She said with enthusiasm, waiting to hear what other stories the other lions held. Her imagination filled with images of the lion and the tricky jackal. Laughing, she turned to Maximus who cleared his throat to gain attention.

"Well," Maximus boomed. "One day a lion was waken from his afternoon nap by a group of mice scurrying all about him. Swat! went his huge paw upon one the little creatures. The mouse pleaded for mercy from the stately beast. The lion took compassion upon the tiny mouse and released him." He paused, looking around at the attentive lions.

"A few days later, the lion became trapped in a hunter's net. His roars made the whole forest tremble. The little mouse whose life was spared approached the lion in the snare and used his sharp little teeth to gnaw the strong ropes until the lion was free." He stopped, then nodding in approval of his classical story. "It's very close to Himili's, but the lion lives!" He laughed, looking to Himili. "Moral of story? Be nice, you'll never know when you'll need help." He laughed. "I think!" He added, ending his talking.

Addana smiled, then added her contribution. "Once along ago, before the prides were formed and rivalries born, a lion went hunting along with a fox, a jackal, and a wolf. They hunted and they hunted till at last they surprised a stag, and soon took its life. Then came the question how the spoil should be divided. 'Quarter me this stag,' roared the Lion; so the other animals cut it into four parts. Then the Lion took his stand in front of the carcass and pronounced judgment: The first quarter is for me in my capacity as King of Beasts; the second is mine as arbiter; another share comes to me for my part in the chase; and as for the fourth quarter, well, as for that, I should like to see which of you will dare to lay a paw upon it.'
'Humph,' grumbled the Fox as he walked away with his tail between his legs; but he spoke in a low growl. 'You may share the labours of the great, but you will not share the spoil." She grinned as she finished her story. "There is no moral of this story, since no one dared to stand up to the selfish lion. However, it teaches young cubs a sense of equality so that they never find themselves in the same position of the fox!"

Marrone smiled as he listened closely to all their stories, "They are all great stories, but we can't forget all our ancestors are from different places. But this is our home." he said warmly. Relaxing next to Alma, he thought for a moment of a good story.

Mheetu smiled at Vitani, "I remember my mother telling me about Scar." he muttered. When his tan furry ears heard Marrone's words he nodded, "Any lion can change his stars, if he really wants too." he said out loud remembering the talks he use to have with his parents.


Tempesta looked to Mheetu, "Anyone can change their stars Mheetu, if you really want to. I've seen lions who were nobody grow up and become Great Kings." she said softly. Tempesta looked to Marrone and then Alma, she sighed softly. "There was a beautiful lioness, she was smart and very good at hunting. She excelled above the other sister in her Pride, because of her wit her father promised her a Prince from another Pride. But when she got to this new Pride, he already had been taken. They broke the rules because their old King couldn't wait on this new Princess." her words came out of her muzzle lips slowly and painfully. She looked down at her paws and her turquoise eyes glazed over, "This princess was forced to be apart of the Pride, she challenged the spot of the Prince's new Queen. But the King denied the challenge and told her to live her life as one of the Pride, because her old Pride had been exterminated. So the Princess lived her life in the new Pride, the truth ate away at her but she still lived as one of them." she gazed up at Delano for a moment before looking dead at Marrone. "Even though the Princess gave her life for that Pride, they still never appreciated her. Moral of the Story; Don't settle for less, whats yours. Is yours.." she finished with a heavy exhale.

Marrone's grey eyes narrowed at Tempesta, "Thats an old story Tempy, where did you hear such a fairy tale?" he asked curiously.

"My mother..." she said back sternly. The lioness cuddled closer to Delano and rested her face in his mane, she spoke it. "My mother told me lots of stories good and bad." she added out loud.

[TheLionQueen]

"Wow I'm surprised you could remember that story it's very long and kinda sad,and very old, well what ever it is a interesting story though."
Alma said before thinking of a story.
"This story is about my grandfather Chata. He was the fourth born and the runt of a four male litter of cubs to a young lion couple out near the dessert. His parents thought he was weak so when he was a week old his parents asked his brothers to play with him out near the waterhole which was very far from there home. The three brothers said ok always bullying Chata anyway. Chata was abandoned for a day before meeting a small cheetah cub and befriending him, sadly the young cheetahs mother never came back for him and the cub died because Chata was not strong enough to kill large enough gain to feed both of them. He was very sad this cheetah was his first friend. Chata trained for years becoming stronger and one day met his brother Charle near the pridelands, they fought Chata knew it was his brother he was just angry at him. Charle lived in a pride called the Zen pride and was great friends with a baboon named Rafiki. Chata and Charle made-up but Chata never saw his other two brothers again he was happy about that they were the worst to him. Before Chata never loved a thing because he loved his family but they didnt love him so he didn't love anything him self until one day he met a lioness named Faith and decided that he loved her. They spent the rest of there days together he finally found his Faith in love." Alma smiled. "My grandfather told me this story when I was a cub shortly before he died along side my grandmother Faith they really did love each other. This story shows no matter what there is always a silver lining." Alma said looking mostly at the cubs.

Marrone stood to his paws and stepped out towards the entrance of the den, the King watched the rain pour. Time flew by with everyone telling stories and he looked to his Pride, "Lets all get some sleep. We should have a small spot in the morning where the rain will stop. Delano, Jafar and Tempesta will be patrolling, making sure nothing is taking refuge in our parts of the land. Also bring back food aswell, Mheetu and Maximus will go out and grab extra food while this is going on. We need to stock up, I can feel my achy bones telling me the storm is going to get alot rougher then the years before." he ordered in a soft tone. He looked to Alma and motioned for her to leave with him and he bounded out into the rain, making his way to his cozy den. Tempesta's words rang through his head, he wondered what else her mother spoke to her about. Shaking off the rain drops he laid to his belly crossing his paws one over the other, letting his head rest down exhausted.

Mheetu looked to Maximus, "Looks like its me and you tomorrow hunting..." he said with a smile. Mheetu looked to Vitani, "You better get some sleep..."

Tempesta watched Marrone leave and she looked to Delano, "Come on honey.." she said licking his cheek. she padded out of the den into the rain and paused a moment feeling the drops hit her pelt. Turqouise eyes gazing up at the black sky, she could only make out the jungle trees when the lighting cracked above her. She found her way to Delano's den and laid down cozily, waiting for him to join her, she had something she wanted to tell him.

[TheLionQueen]

Alma followed Marrone. She snuggled up next to him after shaking off the rain from her fur.
