The new danger in the land

[Adofo]

Tua: I....don't know!
Tamu: Baby....it's mommy!
Vasya: ANd I'm your daddy!
Tua just looked completely shocked.
Tua: Mommy..............Daddy?
The three soon sprinted towards each other and embraced one another. THey were all crying tears of joy.
Tamu: My boy! My baby boy!
Vasya: Son....we've been looking for you for so long! .....we lost hope.
Tamu: But now we finally found you!

Marini simply stared at the three of them, completely dumbstruck. Those were his parents?

[Adofo]

They finally broke apart.
Tamu: YOu're all grown up! YOu're so handsome!
Vasya: Of course he is....he's my son!
Tua: I have so many questions........but first! Mom, Dad, this is my mate, Marini!
Tamu: Oh she's beautiful! Very nice to meet you!
Vasya: Nice to meet you!

Marini looked at the older lion and lioness, managing a timid smile. "Hello..." Talk about awkward...

[Adofo]

He walked to his mates side.
Tua: And this...
He put his paw on her tummy.
Tua: Is our cub!
Tamu: You're pregnant!? That's so wonderful!
Vasya: Congratulations, son!

Marini was still not sure as to what to make of the situation. Just where have Tua's parents been all this time?

[Adofo]

Tua: ......what happened?
Tamu: .........you were stolen.
Vasya: It was my fault.
Tamu: No it wasn't, Vasya! .......We just joined this pride when I was carrying you in my tummy. It was a great pride! But there was this one lion. He was just plain evil. No one liked him. But he was the leaders son. SO he couldn't get kicked out. Well.....shortly after you were born, he stole you in the night! He never came back. Everyone assumed he killed you....but we always tried to believe you were still alive! We searched for months and months......but we never found you! We couldn't go back to that pride....not after all the harsh memories....but it wasn't their fault. Where have you been all these years!?
Tua: At an amazing place called Priderock! In the Pridelands! That's where we are now! They said I appeared at the opening of the den one night. With my name carved into a rock that was placed next to me. THey took me in and kept me safe. I grew up and......finally got the guts to marry my one true love!

Marini didn't know what to say at first. That was quite a story... "Um... Would you like to see Pride Rock?" she asked quietly. Surely Simba wouldn't mind. These were Tua's parents they were talking about, after all.

[Adofo]

Tua: Yeah! YOu have to see it!
Tamu: Well......if your leader doesn't mind...
Tua: Of course he won't! Come on!
THey all came back to Priderock with Simba coming out of the den.

Simba was obviously confused to see an unfamilliar lion and lioness with Tua and Marini. "Tua? Who are these?" he asked.
