[Closed] The Circle of Life Continues

[Nitro]

A long ways from the Pridelands, a young cub was laying on a green patch of grass, gazing at the stars as was his ritual ever since he was little. "There are 2 new ones tonight," he murmured. "King Simba and Queen Nala must have passed..." Part of him mourned the great, wise, and kind rulers he would never meet, while another part, that belonged in whole to his mother and was slowly growing bigger by the day, rejoiced in their death. Two less obstacles out of his way. The path to killing Kopa and becoming King was slowly getting easier and all he had to do was lie back and wait. Disgusted with himself, Jerba shook his head, trying to clear it. I'm just a cub, why should I be thinking these things? he asked himself. He was only a few months old, he should not be worrying about death and the throne. He wasn't even a part of the Royal Line.

Wait a minute... he thought. If my grandfather was Scar, and he was King once, then Mother should be Queen and I prince! She was right! But then he realized that Scar was second born to Ahadi, and Mufasa was the heir. His "beloved" grandfather had unjustly stolen the throne when he had not challenged his brother face to face. And when he had become king, he was never really the ruler since Simba, Mufasa's heir and true Prince, was still alive... "Ugh, this is so confusing..." he muttered to himself as he picked his lithe body up off the grass and padded over to where his mother was resting. "Mother," he said, "There are 2 new stars tonight. The death of two new rulers. I beelieve that those stars belong to King Simba and Queen Nala."

Meanwhile, Kopa found himself thinking about Vitani again. "I know she's out there, with a cub. I wonder how long it will be before she reveals herself," he said to himself.

[Simba3]

Simba saw that Vitani plan to do something what is not really good. He thought that Vitani want to do what his mother did with Kovu before . She want put Jerba in touch with Bianca and after that Jerba can kill the king, Kopa. Now, he has fears for his family, mainly for his son: Kopa.

Bianca had tears slide down her furry cheeks as she heard about the passing of her grandmother. She snuggled up in Sheba as she got her evening bath and sighed. "So..what is tomorrow anyway dad?" she asked Kopa curiously. She saw Kopa cry and she got sad herself, she squeezed from her mothers paws and hugged onto her father's leg.

Kopa sighed. "Tomorrow, we officially become the royal family," he explained, trying to look as kingly as was possible for him while he was in this state.

"All the better," Vitani chuckled. "All the easier to take the throne."

[Songo]

Bianca sighed softly, "Oh...Im really a princess now?" she asked softly. Bianca cuddled up into Kopa's side and the young cub yawn exhausted. She slowly felt her eyelids get heavy and she fell asleep.

[KingKovu44]

"Yes, sweetie, you're a true princess," Kopa said as he watched Bianca fall asleep. "I promise, no harm will ever befall you," he stated.

[Simba3]

Simba didn't want that Bianca to be sad. That's why he appeared in Bianca's dream. He walked toward her and smiled."Don't be sad, my little granddaugter. I will always be with you." He said kindly and nuzzled the little cub. After that he disappered and went back among the clouds.

Bianca felt her dreams take flight and next thing she new she was on Pride rock, "Grandpa? I miss you!" she called to the approaching Simba. She nuzzled him back and smiled feeling his warmth around her and she frowned when he began to leave. "No dont go..!" she said trying to catch up with him, she just kept running and running until....

Bianca jumped from her sleep and looked around the lion's den, she took a big breath and focused for a moment. *it was only a dream* she thought to herself. She noticed some light shine into the den and silently she crept passed her sleeping mother and father, the young cub was growing bigger each day. Her hazel eyes gazed at the rising sun and she felt the wind pass by her fur, "Hes always here.." she whispered.
