The Lion King: Past Events

Jengo's Pride

*Jengo's POV*

Sky Leaf Pride...

"Please, be careful Jengo. It's not safe at night!" Warn my mother.

I rub my nose on her soft cheek. "I will. Dont worry, Taavi is coming with me too. Tonight he officially start his Lion Guard job!"

She nod. Taavi walked out of the den and stood by my left side.

He smiled, "Ready?"

I led the way stepping inside the African plains. The wind blew a cool breeze through my coffee color full grown mane. Taavi's aqua colored eyes glow in the dark. He shook his full grown dark red mane then lick his black nose.

"So, how's being King going Jengo? Easy or hard??" Taavi asked, breaking the awkward silence.

"Both." I replied.

It's been a week since I've become the new King of the Sky Leaf Pride. My grandfather King James passed away due to old age. I took it hard of course because he was the only father figure in my life. He taught me everything.

Now I'm a young adult lost in this royalty world. I still have my grandma Queen Milia alive, but it isn't the same like grandpa King James. He guided me and always stood by my side. My mother doesn't know much about royalty.

Grandpa taught Aunt Uru because she was next in line for the crown. Grandma Milia only knows a little. She wasn't born royalty like grandpa. All I have is the lessons grandpa taught me when I was a cub. I still remember them all and use them.

"You'll get use to the change soon. Its only been a week. Maybe in a month or two you'll feel stronger and better." Said Taavi.

"I just want the pride to look up to me as good leader like my grandpa, Taavi." I said, with sad eyes.

"You are a good leader, Jengo."

"How do you know?"

Taavi pause in his steps. He move both of his ears.

I stop walking too. "Taavi, what's wrong?"

"I hear a sound. A sound like someone moving around in a bush or grass."

Taavi sniff the air. I did the same not coming up with no scent. Taavi sprint off leaving me behind clueless.

"Taavi!" I call.

He kept running. I chase after him with a groan.

ROAAAR!!!

My ears perk up. It wasn't Taavi's roar, it's someone else. A rouge maybe. I growl picking up my running pace.

"Argh, get off me!" Said a voice.

That voice sound so familiar. Once I reach up, I see Taavi pinning down...Taka? Taavi raise his heavy paw up ready to kill.

"Taavi, no!" I yell.

I push Taavi over. He fell hard on his side. Taka quickly got up. He growl at us both. Why is he growling at me? I just save his life!

"Taka, relax." I said, Calmly.

"How do you know my name?" He spat.

Wow, he doesn't remember Me.

"Because, I'm your big cousin." I answer, stepping a bit forward.

Taka stop growling. His body relax. "Jengo?"

I nod smiling. Taka gave me a hug.

"I'm so sorry. Its just that your older and your mane is fully grown." Taka chuckled.
