[Closed] Trials in the Pridelands

[KingKovu44]

Simba looked at his father. "Yes, Father. The boys are Kopa and Chaka, and the girl is Kiara," he said. He then looked at Vitani. "No, Nala and I haven't discussed that yet," he said to her.

[Songo]

Nala regained composure and smiled and gave Mufasa a nuzzle back. Nala looked to her family, she snuggled close to Simba. She licked her three cubs, "We wont choose yet, not until we see their personalities a little more." she added looking to Vitani. Nala hugged her cubs close and looked to her little brother. She knew he was happy, but his face still seemed so emotionless. "Mheetu...say hello to your niece and nephews!" she said smiling.

Mheetu nuzzled Nala once more and smiled down at the little cubs, "There beautiful and are now a part of the circle of life." Mheetu grumbled at Vitani's words. *whos next to the throne?* he shook his head and stepped back beside Mufasa. "Mufasa, its time I ask a request. I'm leaving Pride rock." he said softly. He wanted to leave tonight, to be gone and finally feel free. "Nala and Simba this has nothing to do with you, my dreams have gotten worse. I feel the great kings are leading me away." he added looking to Mufasa.

Sarafina let out a growl, "Stop being so selfish Mheetu, this is Nala's day." she said stepping towards him. "Plus Mufasa and I have a request of you before you leave. Your to escort Vitani to a neighboring Pride. To Protect her." she added quickly. Her plan was falling threw and she had to give out quick details.

Nala shook her head towards her mother, "Mheetu has done everything I requested of him. Hes free to leave.." she ordered softly. She gave Simba a nuzzle and looked to Mufasa, "But if you have orders for Mheetu then he must finish those."

Mheetu looked to Vitani and then to Mufasa, "Is this true?" he asked. His dark green eyes narrowed at his mother, she was always involving herself in his plans.

Vitani was untold of this. "Yeah? Nobody told us!" She added to Mheetu's question. Her dark blueish-purple eyes glared at Mufasa.

Mufasa sighed. "It's true, I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier. Sarafina and I wanted to wait until Mheetu grew his mane." He paused. "Don't be mad." His words trailed.

[Songo]

Sarafina stepped towards Mheetu, "Before you leave the Pride atleast finish Mufasa's request and protect Princess Vitani." she said softly.

Mheetu let out a deep sigh and his green eyes flashed angerily, "As you wish.." he said before making his way from the den. The young lion had waited months for his mane to grow in and now this new request. Mheetu stepped down the dirt path, leaving large paw prints in the soft dirt. His green eyes met his reflection in the watering hole. "Now what..I have to be a escort to princess tani." he grumbled. He reclined back to his haunches and he didn't know Vitani was following him.

Sarafina growled slightly and looked to Shujaa, "Do something about your son." she hissed and shook her head. "I'm sorry Mufasa. The time had to tell him happened sooner then I thought." she said sighing.

Nala looked to Simba, "Oh man, I hope hes okay. Vitani go check on him?" she asked softly. Nala looked to her mother and shook her head, "Not this way mother, you'll lose him." she added.

Shujaa went over to Mheetu. "You may be ready to set out on your own, but while you're here, you will show respect to your mother and to the king. Do you hear me?" he stated.

[Kopalover]

Vitani hid in the near grass. Being a pro huntress really paid off in these situations. He kept her body close to the ground. Her belly rubbing against the hard ground as she listened to Shujaa and Mheetu's conversation. She kept close to the ground and moved closer to the two lions. To have a better hear. Her elegant movements made no noise whatsoever. The conversation between the two lions was going to get good, or so she hoped it would.

[KingKovu44]

Shujaa glared again. "Do you hear me, Mheetu? I will not have you being disrespectful in or out of the king's presence," he stated, waiting for his son to respond.

[changa]

Zira cradled the cub in her arms. He was a boy, and a darker brown than mud at night. His eyes hadn't opened yet, and she hadn't picked a name. Oh, well. This was a time to rest.

[Songo]

Mheetu's green eyes glared at Shujaa, "You wont even defend me! You take mom's side and you were a rogue on your own!" he growled back. His ears flattened back and the young lion nodded to his father. "Yes I understand, but why do I have to escort Vitani? Why can't they find another lion to do it.." he grumbled. Mheetu looked at his father, their appearances and colors resembling one another except Mheetu was a lighter version like Sarafina.

[KingKovu44]

Shujaa glared yet again. "You have to escort her because she's the princess. The savannah can be a rough place and Mufasa wants someone to go with her," he stated.
