My Lion King Forum

"Yes father." The youngster said with a smile.

Shan-Yu rose to his feet. "Come, let us continue," he said, fetching a new practice blade.

"Yes father." Yong-Wu smiled. He couldn't explain it, but he felt alive in battle, as he trained and spared he felt more alive than any other time. "Father, I love these sparing fights we have. It's weird, but every time I fight you or mom, or my sisters I feel different. Even when I spare against the other cubs in our camp, I feel alive in battle. Like it's second nature, like killing my enimes comes as natural as breathing." The cub said. "and I love this feeling."he added.

Soon enough, practice was finished. Shan-Yu then retreated to the family tent with his children. "You all did very well," he said to them.

"Only because you and mom are the best teachers ever." Yong Smiled.

Xuan Wu then entered, her hands clasped together in front of her as was usual for her. "My lord, your spies have the information on that city's defenses," she said. Shan-Yu rose, smiling. "Come. We are about to take a new territory," he said.

Yong smiled as he hugged his mother, nuzzling her lovingly. " alright, are we gonna fight with you two?" The young cub asked eagerly.

Shan-Yu began to walk. "Yes, of course," he said. He then looked at his son. "Yong, did you say something before?" he asked.

Yong-Wu nodded. "Father, I love these sparing fights we have. It's weird, but every time I fight you or mom, or my sisters I feel different. Even when I spare against the other cubs in our camp, I feel alive in battle. Like it's second nature, like killing my enimes comes as natural as breathing." The cub said. "and I love this feeling."he added.

Shan-Yu smiled. "Excellent. Most excellent. Soon, you will be a true warrior in every sense of the word," he said.
