[Closed] Trials in the Pridelands

[Songo]

Nala shook her muzzle and she nuzzled Simba's red fluffy mane, "Well, These things happen. But we will keep a lookout and warn the other lionesses." she spoke softly watching Sarafina and her cubs. Nala's blue eyes looked at Simba, "My motherly instincts kicked in and I kicked butt." she said smirking slightly. Nala put her fore paws on Simba's chest and pushed him to the ground, "Cause nobody messes with me!" she growled playfully smiling down.


Sarafina nodded to Chaka, "Yes, it the story of how Scar tried to take over the Pride." she said softly. Her green eyes fell upon Kopa and she pulled the cub to her side, "A long time ago before you cubs were even born, uncle Scar lived at Pride rock with all of us..." Sarafina began in her spooky story teller voice, the old lioness raised her paws flashing her claws to the cubs as she emphasized each part of the great story.

Mostro stalked a warthog a few paces ahead of him, he caught up with the fat beast. Before the pig knew what happened, he lunged at it, his claws cut deep into the pig's dry rough skin and it squealed in pain. His mustard eyes darted around frantically as his fangs sunk into the pigs throat silencing it. He quickly dragged the pig back towards the out lands and he dropped it infront of Zira and Kovu. "I'll take you hunting soon Kovu." he added hearing the cub as he padded away earlier. He motioned for the lionesses to eat and then he would eat himself.

Diamante' watched him drop the warthog in front of Zira and her greenish eyes looked down at the young kovu, she noted that he didnt resemble Mostro. Diamante's paw lifted to her cheek as she touched her fleshy wound and winced slightly from the pain, still laying in the dry dirt.

Simba could only smile. "You always manage to pin me. One of these days, I'll have to figure out how to do it," he said, remembering all of their cubhood games.

"Great-uncle Scar let all the hyenas live in the Pridelands?!" Chaka questioned with amazement, he had only seen a hyena once, and it seemed like a trouble-making, joking creature.

"Yuck!" Kopa complained, as he imagined the smelly scvengers sleeping in his den.

[Songo]

Nala smirked and let Simba get up, "Its a secret." she said and gently made her way over to the chattering cubs. She scooped up Chaka with her paw and hugged him tightly, licking his cheek. "Oh Chaka! Uncle Scar did alot of bad things and sharing the Pride lands with the hyenas was one of them. They ate all our food!" she exclaimed. She rested Chaka back on the ground and put her paw on Kopa's head, "Your right Kopa, they are yuck!" she said smiling. Nala looked at Simba as he found his way to the group, "Well I remember Zazu telling us the hyenas were a bunch of slimy mangy stupid poachers." she added.

Sarafina eyed Simba and Nala, "Thats the day you two went to the elephant grave yard! Disobeying the rules..." she added raising her eyebrow at the two. "I remember when Zazu brought you home Nala." she scolded softly.

"They went to the elephan graveyard?" Kopa asked, suddenly interested in his parents' cubhood. "Was it fun? Can we go too?"

[KingKovu44]

"No, Kopa. It is dangerous, and we don't know where the hyenas went after they fled," Simba said, hoping to protect his son.

[Nitro]

"Yes, Dad," Kopa obeyed and scampered off to play with his siblings. But inside his mind, an idea began to form.

[KingKovu44]

In his mind, Simba could only hope that the cubs obeyed him.

Chaka remained behind, thinking about the hyenas. "But I thought they escaped to a land of paradise, where they had everlasting food." Chaka looked up at and pouted at his father. What made the hyenas so bad anyway? They had to eat. "All that's there now is probably tons of animal bones. Actually I looked over the edge into the Graveyard and I saw no life, more like life after death." Chaka joked and chuckled slighty.
