[Closed] Trials in the Pridelands

[Nitro]

Kopa stirred at the noise, but otherwises lay curled up in Nala's paws. He wearily blinked, trying to adjust to the sunshine that was streaming into their den, and snuggled up even closer to his mother and sister, hissing at the sun.

OOC: I think they just ate it offscreen, LOL.

Simba looked at his young son. "What, Chaka?" he asked.

[Thegeni99]

"Nothing really, I just came to say good morning." Chaka stared at the expanse of the Pridelands, pondering, King 1, King 2, or Queen? "So umm, who's will this all be, later?"

[KingKovu44]

Simba realized what Chaka was asking. "I haven't decided yet," he said.

[changa]

"Mom?" Kovu woke, worried. "Mom? Where are you?" He poked his head outside and saw her and Monstro cuddled up. "Mom, I'm hungry," he said loudly, waking her. "Kovu," she groaned, rolling over. "Go back to sleep." "But I'm hungry," he whined. She ignored him.

[Songo]

Nala felt Kopa stir in her paws and she opened a blue eye to check on her cubs, "1...2..."she grumbled at Chaka missing. She nuzzled Kopa and licked Kiara's cheek. "Wake up my loves, your punishment starts today." she said smiling. She peekes out of the den and noticed Chaka next to Simba. She smiled and nuzzled Simba's mane and licked Chaka's cheek. "Good morning my love." she cooed to Simba.

Monstro looked to Kovu and smiled, "Come on son, lets go feed you." he slipped out of Zira's grip and rubbed Kovu's head with his paw. As they stepped out into the sunlight he looked down on Kovu, "What do you want to eat this morning?" he asked

[KingKovu44]

"Good morning, Nala," Simba said as he looked upon his gorgeous mate. He smiled. "Wow, you still look like you did when you were younger," he told her.

[changa]

"I dunno. Springbok, maybe?" he licked his chops at the thought. "Can I come?" he hoped his mother was asleep. She would tell him no, he was sure. "Well, go ahead," muttered Zira, "It can't really hurt to let him try."

[Kopalover]

Kiara stirred a little bit then went back to her slumber. Dreaming about the day she would become Queen, animals crowding around Priderock, her brothers at her side, and the mate of her dreams nuzzling her neck. A fine day it was, well for her. Off in the distance of her dream, was a bright star. The brightest star of all, she noticed her father was not around.

Kiara woke with a startle. Her little legs jumped to the upright position. She looked around and saw only her brother, Kopa still sleeping. Gasping, she ran out of the den and saw the rest of her family. Her heart settled once again, as she walked over to them. "Good Morning Mother, Father, Chaka!" Kiara grinned, placing herself beside her brother.

Mufasa hasn't moved for days. Nursing lions brought him food, water and medication. Nothing worked, and Mufasa didn't have the guts to tell Simba, Nala and his grandchildren that he was dying. The nursing lions and Rafiki swore not to tell a soul. Even if the souls were the King, Queen, princes, and princess. He hated not being able to play with the cubs or teach them any wise material.

He coughed and asked for more food, a lioness came in with Zebra leg. The dying lion ate in silence, while lionesses and lions worked on making his body move again. It was no use, poor Mufasa was elderly, and had barley any time on his life-time-scale.

Chaka turned his head over at the sound of Kiara's morning greet. "Good morn', sis." He smiled at her. "Oh please Dad" he was disgusted at Simba's romantic greet directed at his mother. Also, Chaka guessed that throwing the fact that she was older was too direct. Oh well, what was he to do? He once again stared at the Pridelands, at it's beauty, all the leaping antelope, to the very tiny ants that were making their way infront of his paws. "Everything the light touches.." Chaka gave a caring smile, but he was troubled with the fact of who would be heir.

Geni's eyelids flipped open when Kovu suddenly shouted at his mother. She yawned, and then realized that she and Regina had fallen into a deep sleep while watching the stars. She turned her body right side up and yawned, noticing Monstro leading Kovu and Zira still resting, but stirring a bit. Geni got up and streched, cracking her back. As she made her way past the entrance into the large cave of the mound, she noticed a furry white cub sleeping next to a tree stump. Curious about the albino lion, she stepped inside and whispered, "Hey, you awake?"
