[Closed] The New Generation

Shia ran with them. "Nguvu! Wait for me!" She laughed.

Nguvu smiled and ran faster. A race could be just what was needed.

Durba padded slowly back to Pride Rock, he finally got back to the cave. Went to sleep further away from his parents and siblings. All the Kings of the Past felt his hatred swell up in his heart as he drifted off into a sleep.

Shia ran faster and faster with each stride. When she got there Nguvu was already there, "No fair you had a head start." She managed to get out between her panting breaths. She went into the den and laid down beside Kiara. Falling into a deep sleep until morning.

Kovu barely managed to sleep that night. However, his rest was not easy, for horrific nightmares of his cubhood and his mother's harsh, cruel training came flooding back to him. Suddenly, he awoke with a shout of "NO!". It was then that he remembered that these were only nightmares, nightmares brought on the stressful events of the day. "I hope I can continue to be a good father," he thought to himself before laying back down. He looked at Kiara. The sight of his love was enough to relax him just a bit, and he rested once again.

OCC: I had writers block, I think I'll hurry it along a bit.

The next morning was a challenging and slow one for Durba, not being able to speak to anyone. Even his parents. Kiara and Kovu didn't realize the hatred he was building up. Anyway as the months went by, each of the cubs we told about the Great Kings of the Past and the Circle of life. Nguvu, Durba and Shia were soon healthy adolescents, they day had come to tell them who was to be the future King/Queen.

Kiara walked up to Kovu nervously, "Do you think Nguvu is the best choice?" she asked one final time. Durba was pretty nervous himself, he desperately wanted to be King, if one of his other siblings was chosen, he thought he'd never get over it. He walked up to Shia, "Today is the day eh?"

[Kopalover]

Her head popped up from her brothers voice. " Yeah , it is." She said nervously. She wanted to be Queen, but she knew she wouldn't get chosen. She could barley do anything. She knew the stars were their kings, but what about the Queens? What about Queen Sarabi, and Grandmother Nala? So many questions she just had to ask.

Kovu looked at Kiara. "Yes, I do. I'm sure he'll be a great king one day," he said. He then turned to his children. "Now, I have thought long and hard about this. Remember that your mother and I love all of you equally. With that said, I have chosen Nguvu as my successor," he announced.

[thechiefyness]

Nguvu's heart swelled with conflicting roles of apprehension and glee. He could not meet anyone's gaze, and his smile was for his father's benefit. Yet despite this, he knew his father had made the right choice.

Right?

Durba tried to keep his anger inside. "NGUVU!" he shouted. Kiara looked angrily over at Durba. "I mean, well done......brother" he added sarcastically. Kiara looked over at Nguvu and then at Shia, for Durba had already stormed off. "Shia, you are ok aren't you?" Kiara asked nervously, hoping she wouldn't be angry aswell.
