In the previous chapter: Following the attacks of Scar, Ujasiri gives birth with his wife Usafi, two daughters: Fali and Fuli. 5 years have passed and Fuli braves one of his father's prohibitions: cross Wasiojulikana, a forest that "protects" Kazi Wazi, the cheetah plain. Once through the forest, Fuli meets Kion, a young cub accompanied by his big sister Kiara and his best friend Bunga the zorille of the cape, officially becoming his new and first friends. After his day, Fuli returns home on Kazi Wazi.

*On a sunset, Fuli ends up arriving home in the utmost discretion*

POS Fuli


Fuli: Ok, don't make any noise and everything will be....

Usafi: And how will everything go, sweetie?

Fuli: Mom, I didn't know you were there 😅

Usafi: You didn't answer the question

Fuli: A question, but what question? I don't see what you're talking about

Usafi: Fuli...

Fuli: Wow?


*Usafi looks at her daughter insistently*

Fuli: Rah okay, let's say I just made friends today

Usafi: Well, you see it was not complicated

Fuli: If you say it...

Ujasiri: You both hurry? We expect more than you

Fuli: We're coming Dad

Usafi: Will you introduce me to your new friends, the big one?

Fuli: Oh yes, of course


*During the meal*

Ujasiri: So what were you two talking about before the meal?

Fuli: Nothing, just saying girl stuff

Usafi: Why are you afraid to say it?

Fuli: Mom, don't help me there

Usafi: Are you sure?

Fuli: Yes Mom, it's very personal for me

Ujasiri: Well....

Fuli: Sorry Dad, I just can't talk about it

Ujasiri: If you say so, but let's move on

Fali: Pfff, weathervane

Ujasiri: Did you say something, Fali?

Fali: Huh, who me? You're crazy there Dad

Ujasiri: Anyway, Fuli it's time you learned something that will be important and decisive for you

Fuli: Ok..... (Why do I feel bad)

Ujasiri: When you are a little older and since you will not be the head of the clan since you were born after your sister...

Fali: And yeah

Usafi: Hmmm, hmmm

Fali: Sorry Mom

Ujasiri: So I was saying when you turn 14 or 15, you'll see yourself choosing a suitor, isn't that wonderful!

Fuli: ...


*Fuli remains surprised some time after his father's announcement, not knowing what to do*

Ujasiri: What about it?

Fuli: It's... uh.... unexpected

Ujasiri: And when you choose a suitor, you'll marry him later

Fuli: Will you allow me to leave the table while I digest all this information, please Dad?

Ujasiri: Of course, do as you feel

Fuli: Thank you Dad


*Fuli retreats outside, still shocked by what she just learned*

Fuli: How am I supposed to do that? I don't want to do this, but if my dad finds out what I'm doing behind his back and I refuse to do this, he's gonna kill me

???: And I understand you perfectly young Fuli

Fuli: Huh! Who spoke?

???: Don't be afraid, I don't want anything bad from you, and even if I wanted I couldn't because I'm already dead.

Fuli: That's it I'm going crazy

???: But no, look in the sky


*Fuli runs and looks into the sky and one of the clouds reveals a silhouette*

Fuli: ...

??? See? You're not crazy

Fuli: But who are you?

???: My name is Mufasa, I am one of the ancient Kings of the Pridelands

Fuli: That's where I was earlier with Kion, Kiara and Bunga

Mufasa: Exactly

Fuli: Why are you talking to me? I did something wrong?

Mufasa: No, don't worry. I wanted to talk to you about something more important and also get to know you

Fuli: Ok.... I'm listening

Mufasa: Well, for starters, you are really brave to have ventured beyond Wasiojulikana, nobody had dared before you

Fuli: Nobody did it before me ? It's surprising

Mufasa: Yes and you will not be at the end of your surprises

Fuli: What do you mean?

Mufasa: For example, you don't know your origins

Fuli: Oh no, that I know

Mufasa: Your eyes think they know but in the blood that flows in your veins say the opposite

*Mufasa slips away*

Fuli: MUFASA DO NOT GO, I DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU WANTED TO COME!!!

........

Fuli: What did he mean by "my eyes think they know but in the blood flowing through my veins says the opposite"? I'll talk to Kion and Kiara tomorrow

*The next day, Fuli loses no time and goes into the greatest of secrets to the Pridelands*

Fuli: I hope I can find them

???: ZUKA ZAMAAAAAA!!!

Kiara: Be careful Bunga

Bunga: To what?

Fuli: Bunga, slow down!!

Bunga: Hmm? Ah hi Fuli

*Fuli dodges Bunga who will hit a rock*

Kion: How are you, Bunga? Didn't you get hurt?

Bunga: But no, don't worry I'm as hard as this rock

Kiara: But this rock didn't set you straight

Bnga: What do you mean? Glad you came back Fuli

Kiara: Don't change the subject like that!!

Kion: Kiara, calm down

Fuli: Kion is right, I came back to see you for a reason

Kiara: You're both right

Fuli: I have something to ask you, it's important

Kion: In relation to what?

Fuli: Who I am and where I really come from

Kiara: Hmmm, in this case we take you to see Rafiki, he can support you
