The newborn prince first opened his eyes, he looked around, he was in a cave. A mandril carried him and gave him to a lioness with a similar fur to him, his instinct automatically told him she was his mother.

He was surrounded by lionesses with different colors of fur and eyes, which made him feel uncomfortable. A few moments later a male lion appeard from behind a rock.
"it's a girl?, tell me its a girl!", the lion asked desperately.
"No. It's a boy, uh, wanna see him?" ,the cub's mother answered
"a boy?, oh no, oh no, no ,no"
"Don't worry, he'll have to leave the pride just when he is an adult"
"Yes, but he won't even make history, imagine: the first female leader of the lion guard, but this won't make history at all, and he will leave the pride, so it will be as if we never had a second child, no one will remember him"
"No one will remember him?, he will be the leader of the lion guard!", the mother argued.
"Just look at him, this is a waste of a lion"
"He' ll grow up stronger, now let's choose an appropriate name"
"Didn't you hear me, he's a waste, taka is the name!"
"Taka?, taka's lion guard?, what if he becomes king, taka the first?"
"He'll make history", his father said convinced
"No, let's choose something else"
"Uh, what will you call him then?"
"Askari, just like the leader of the first lion guard"
"Askari?, there's been over a hundred askaris before him"
"Then he will be the 101st, Askari the CI, sounds better than taka I"

When the discussion ended, the cave got quiet again, and Askari could sleep.
