The Lion King: Past Events

Dreams Come True

*Taavi's POV*

I walk inside the den and see Jengo and his mother talking. They pause their conversation seeing me come forward.

I bow my head respectfully. Jengo is my best friend but also the King too.

"Hello Taavi! I have a job for you to do." He said.

"Which is?" I ask.

"Samu report to me earlier that lion paws are by the river. He doesn't know if they're from here. I want you tonight to seek out and find some clues."

"Okay."

I turn around exiting out the den. I really want to rest though and go to bed. But me as the pride's lion guard, I must do my job no matter what time of day. Kaisa is probably going to wonder where I am.

When I made it to the river, I scan my eyes. No sign of danger. I look down seeing medium paw prints.

Female.

I explore the area sniffing the grass, bushes, and two trees. All of them have strong scent markings. Someone is claiming a part of our pride's territory. I must get to the bottom of this.

I follow the scent through tall grasses away from the river. It led me a bit far from the pride to a place with large mountains and several trees. Since I've been brought into this world, I have never seen or gone to this place before.

Interesting.

I spot a nice size cave up ahead.

[*RUSTLE, RUSTLE!*]

It sound like someone close is coming from the tall grass. I quickly hid behind a tree and squat hoping not to be seen.

"But moooom, I'm not sleepy!" Said a whiny voice.

"It's way past your bed time, mister!" Said a different voice.

I peak my head out from behind the tree and see a lioness carrying a cub to the cave.

Rouges?

A male lion step out from the cave and head buds the lioness. They must live here! Another pride living close to ours and sharing the same land? I don't think so.

I release a growl and turn around running back home. I cannot wait to tell Jengo and see his reaction to this.

*Kaisa's POV*

"No way!"

"Yes way!"

Zaina hug me. "Oh my gosh, congrats Kaisa."

I return the hug with a giggle. "See, I knew you would get happy when I tell you this. Thank you!"

"The way you said news earlier I had no idea if it was good or bad. This is really some good news! Have you told Taavi yet?"

"Nope. I want to surprise him. You and my mom are the only two I share this with so far."

Zaina nuzzle me in a sisterly way. "This is such a blessing."

I nuzzle back then sat down.

"So, how did it go inside the den with you and Jengo?" I ask.

"I let out my heart and told him everything."

"Did he accept?"
