The Lion King: Makosa's Beginning

A Change

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey readers! 😄 I've decided to fast forward things just a bit. I've realized that I had Makosa, Maha, Bahiya, Ishara, and Auni as teens for a very long while since I've stared this book 😂😂 lmao. So yeah expect a slight change in this chapter! Now, you may enjoy reading below 😊.

•No One's POV•

It was a bright and sunny day. The sun shone brilliantly. White, fluffy clouds drifted across the clear, blue sky. Distant harsh mountains are composed of granite, covered with thorny shrubs and acacia trees. The river, like a snake to see the coiling of its muscular currents, catch the shimmering of waves that caught the sunlight like scales. The grass grew in tussocks and flattened in waves with each gust of wind, only to spring up as fresh as a bunch of flowers right after. The tuft was wild and slightly yellowing under the sun and between each there was bare soil, baked and powdery.

An ancient, tall, massive rock formation located in the vast Pride Lands joins the beautiful open scene. On top of the rock stands the only powerful lion king. With his auburn fur, tan muzzle, underbelly and paws, black nose, and dark brown mane. His emerald green eyes scan across the land. He's spying for any sign of danger, making sure his kingdom is in perfect order. His wife, the 'Queen' walks up and stands close beside him. With her light peach-ish fur, light beige muzzle, underbelly and paws, and purple nose. She met her reddish-brown eyes with his own eyes. He gave her a warm smile as she nuzzles him lovingly. Over the pass three or four years, the couple have done well ruling. So far, no mistakes have been done. They've raised their only son "Makosa" excellent, who's now all grown up to a handsome adult lion like his father. Soon, the crown eventually will be passed down to him as the new rightful King. But for now, he's just taking notes of his parents.

Makosa, who decides to go out and hang in the grasslands instead of attending his afternoon Prince meetings, is running around playing with laughter.

"Haha, try catching me Adia!" He laughs.

"Oh, I will Kosa!" Said a child voice. "I'm coming close."

Adia, the first daughter of Kion and Aala chases after her big cousin Makosa. Her twin sister Chanua slowly runs behind them.

"Hey guys, slow down!" Chauna pleads.

Adia pounces on Makosa's back. Makosa falls into the soft green grass landing on his belly. He continues to laugh, as she bites and tug on his left ear.

"Told you I'll catch you!" Said Adia.

"Yeah, you did!" Makosa smiles.

Chanua climbs up on Makosa's now fully grown large mixed colored mane (Red from his grandfather Simba and Dark brown from his father Kovu).

"Wow, you have so much hair!" Says Chanua.

"I know right?!" He chuckles.

Adia, like her father "Kion" she has light gold fur, black nose shaped thin and curved downward on either end just like the Outsiders, with maroon colored eyes like her mother "Aala". Her twin sister Chanua has their mother's fawn color fur (meaning yellowish tan), light brown eyes and maroon shaped Pride Lander nose like her father's.

"In coming!!!" Another child voice yells.

Adia, Chauna, and Makosa all twitch their ears to the sound. A third cub joins the group. His name is "Mosi". He is the son of Mheetu and Haiba. Mosi was born two months after Adia and Chauna. He tackles Adia on the ground.

"Pin ya!"

"Hey! I wasn't looking." Adia frowns, while laying on her back with Mosi standing over her.

Mosi growls. He playfully pawed at her nose. Adia growls back.

"Hey there Mosi!" Makosa greets, while giving him a small noogie.

He then stands back up on his four paws leaving the three cubs alone to play. "I guess I'll be leaving you cubs here to play. Remember, to stay only in the pride's area. Do not go too far off where no one can find you if there's trouble."

Mosi nodded. "Okay!"

Makosa walks off. The three cubs sit in the grass with boredom now.

"Ugh, Kosa is gone. Now what should we play?" Chauna asks bored.

Adia shrugs. "I don't know."

Mosi hatches an idea and smiles wide. "How about we go annoy Bunga?"

Chauna smiles wide too and nod her head with agreement. "Oh yeah, we can also do that. That's better than anything!"

The two sprint off back to Pride Rock. Adia otherwise decides to stay behind.

"You guys go ahead without me. I'll just stay here and lay under the morning sun."

Adia lays down on her back. She looks up at the white fluffy clouds passing by in the light blue sky. She giggles. Her father Kion would always take her and her sister Chauna to watch the clouds. That's only if when he's not busy dealing with his guard team as usual. They would point out the illustrations together.

"That one looks like a butterfly!" She points.

After getting tired of looking up at the clouds the whole morning, Adia gets up and walks back home to Pride Rock. There she finds her sister getting bathed by their mother Aala and Mosi wrestling playfully with his father Mheetu. Haiba, Mosi's mother probably had went to go hunt. Makosa and Kion were not present in the scene.

Adia climbed up on her mother's back and rest her head over her paws to take a nap. She'd hope her father returns home when she awakens.

*******************

"So, this is where you've spot them?"

"Correct. I didn't want to say anything with the cubs around."

"Agreed. It'll be too much for them. Plus, they'll run back and probably tell their parents or mines. We do have to tell my father this though right away."

Kion and Makosa both stand on top of an grassy hill. The cool winds blow, causing their manes to fly multiple directions.

Kion nodded. "We will most definitely! I just want to gather up more clues and evidence first before I tell Kovu. I have to go back home and gather up my team. Do you want to come with us Makosa? I think you should since your the only witness. That's if you're not busy later."

Makosa looked over to the side. "Well, um, I would Uncle Kion but I did kind of have plans already with Bahiya. She wanted me to meet her somewhere."

He grins. "Oh I see. Another one of your special dates again nephew?"

Makosa burst out loud with laughter. "Haha, very funny. No we're just hanging out."

"With just the two of you?"

"Yeah."

Kion rolls his eyes with a chuckle. "That's still a date Makosa. But alright go ahead, I can handle this alone. Go have fun youngster!"

"Thanks man!"

Makosa bumps his head against Kion's, then runs happily down the grassy hill to go find Bahiya. Kion watches him from above and shakes his head.

"What am I going to do with him?"
