The Lion King: Born Under The Rising Sun

Born Under The Rising Sun

PROLOUGE

"Welcome to the Healing Pride Zimbwea" a voice said. Zimbwea saw nothing but pitch blackness in her presence. ' Who was that?' she thought. Zimbwea soon felt a wet tongue start to brush her head slowly, she purred at the feeling. She squirmed around feeling for her mother stomach. " Let me help you with that" the voice giggled. Zimbwea felt a push and was now against mothers stomach.

She licked the milk that surrounded her mouth off. Zimbwea opened her mouth and a little mew came out. The lioness cub shrank back in surprise of her mew. She then felt a strength rush through her body. Zimbwea put her tiny paws out In front of her and tried to stand. She stumbled back down with a thump. " She looks just like you" a deeper voice rang in her ears. Then the lighter voice spoke "Meet your father Zimbwea". The cub turned around and squirmed trying to scent another lion. She soon bumped into a furry paw. " Greetings Zimbwea. I'm your father, Gahsu." The deep voice spoke. "And I'm your mother, AKali" the Lighter voice spoke.

Zimbwea mewed with delight, but stopped still surprised with her voice. She felt teeth dig into her scruff. Gahsu carried Zimbwea to her mother and sat the cub down. Gahsu and Akali rubbed there muzzles together and looked proudly at there new born daughter. Zimbwea fell asleep with milk covering her mouth after drinking the sweet, warm milk. Slowly she heard the noise start to dim and she was asleep. She could here her ancestors talking all the sudden. She soon saw lions and lionesses outlined in stars looking at her. "This is her" one said. " This is the cub" another one said with excitment. Soon another lion stood up. He was the biggest, and looked the strongest of them all. He spoke with a deep voice full of pride. "This is the cub" he smiled with deep pride, "Born Under The Rising Sun". The starry figures roared with excitment. The largest cat flicked his tail to silence them. " Zimbwea, you must always remember this; keep the word in your heart. You were born under the rising sun" he said. Zimbwea nodded happily in disbelief that she was chosen! She was in such disbelief she couldn't decide which was better ; being able to see, or being chosen. "This is not what it looks like where you are living, this is StarPride. This is where lions and lionesses come when they pass" the large lion said. He then licked one tiny ear on her head and said, " Now, go fulfill your worthiness. Show Star Pride what you are made of". Soon the starry lion and lionesses faded into the blackness. 'Great,I can't see again' she thought.

But only one sentence rang in her head ; You were born under the rising sun.

CHAPTER 1

The African sun grew huge and Zimbwea had awoke.It has been a couple days since the dream she had experienced that night. Her eyes saw light flood through them. I'm opening my eyes! I'm doing it!She thought. Soon she saw a tan pelt flash in front of her eye. Zimbwea gave all her strength and stuck her paws out. She then pushed her self up and and was standing! Zimbwea put one paw out and started to walk. "MOM! I'm walking!" she chirped. Just when she said that her mother had opened her eyes wide. Akali sat up quickly and looked at her. She gasped and her eyes filled with joy. Akali nudged Gahsu, and Gahsu moaned and sat up. As soon as he saw Zimbwea walking he stood up and started jumping around her. "Look at you! Your walking! That's so great!" He said.

"I know daddy isn't it great!" Zimbwea chirped.

Akali let out a low laugh and called Zimbwea "Ok ok calm down its only morning". Zimbwea saw a sparkle of excitment in her mother's eyes too. Gahsu whispered to Akali " StarPride was right; she would learn quicker than any cub". Akali nodded and licked Gahsu's ear. Zimbwea walked over to her mothers stomach and started to drink milk. Gahsu looked at Akali with a please kind of glance in his eyes. Akali nodded and Gahsu rubbed his nose against hers in graditude. "Zimbwea, I'm going to show you the pride today" He said. Zimbwea looked up and felt a jolt of energy run through her. "Thank you daddy!" She said. "Thank you mother" she said rubbing her self against her mother's chin. "Let's go!" Gahsu said. "Bye mommy!" Zimbwea mewed. She then ran behind her father out of the cave. "This" he began pointing to a wide spread of lions and lionesses "Is Healing Pride" he finished. The sun was rising over a pond and wildebeest trampled in front of the orange sun. "wow" Zimbwea gasped. "You wanna know the best part of this Pride?" Gahsu said.

"What?"

"Someday you will be queen of this whole pride" Gahsu said.

Zimbwea felt her paws tingle. "This is going to be the best day ever!" she thought. "wait so, your king!" She chirped. Gahsu nodded. " Look at where we are" he said. She suddenly realized she was on a huge rock over looking the whole pride. "This is my pride" she thought, "Healing Pride".

CHAPTER 2

Soon enough all of the lions and lionesses were staring at Zimbwea. They all roared in excitment. Akali walked out beside Zimwea ,she was in between her mother and father. "It's the kings daughter!" one lioness yowled. Gahsu roared to silence them. He smiled "This is our daughter, Zimbwea"he said. The pride roared and chanted her name. Zimbwea opened her eyes wide. She then started to dance around Gahsu's legs laughing and cheering.

"Hello Zimbwea" a voice said behind her. She turned to see a strong teen lion smiling. "Wh-who is that daddy?" Zimbwea said. "I'm Jalon" the teen lion responded. "Jalon is our pride's spy. He watched our borders to make sure no other pride attacks us" Gahsu said. Jalon got into attack mode "They never got past me there to scared"he started "I bet if you went with me they would run as soon as they saw us ready to attack!" he finished.

Zimbwea got into a hunter's crouch "I would get them before they could lay paws on our territory!" she chirped. Jalon laughed and got back up. "I actually came to talk to you Gahsu" Jalon said. Zimbwea looked at her father and he said " You may look at the pride. Stay away from the border". Zimbwea nodded and ran down the side of the rock. Wow, she gasped. Lions and lioness dipped there heads at her saying hello. She soon spotted a shady spot under a tree. She looked at it and spotted a flat rock directly under it. She walked onto the rock and sat down. "Look out!" a cubs voice screeched. Zimbwea was knocked off the rock and fell into the warm, hard dirt. "Hey!" she screamed. "I-I'm so sorry I didn't mean to I" the cub voice stopped and helped her up."um" the cub needed its paws against the dirt. "I'm Kalamba!" he chirped. Zimbwea focused her eyes in him and shook the dirt off her tan pelt. Soon another cub came dashing up to Kalamba and smacked him over. "And that's Claw" Kalamba said struggling from Claw's grasped. Kalamba kicked Claw over and sprang back to his feet.

Zimbwea giggled and lie back on the rock.

That's was it for chapter 2 plz vote that would beh epic :P

Chapter 3

The sun lowered as they finished playing. "Whoa!Hold on!" Kalamba panted. "What are you tired?" Zimbwea taunted. Kalamba leaped onto her "No I'm not tired!" he said with his chest puffed out. Zimbwea kicked him off and stood in a pouncing position. Suddenly Claw came rushing at Kalamba with his claws unleashed. Kalamba dodged to the side. Claw crashed landing with a thud. Kalamba collapsed on the ground "Ok maybe just a little" he said. Zimbwea collapsed right next to him "Good I was just kidding. I am beat!" she puffed out. Claw stood up and looked at them. "You to are lazy. I'm not tired at all!" he bragged. Even if he said that his eyes drooped and his legs shook. Kalamba and Zimbwea struggled to stand up. "I don't care if I'm lazy or not, I just need to lay down" Kalamba said. Zimbwea let out a little giggle and said goodbye. As soon as Kalamba and Zimbwea left she saw Claw collapse right where they left. "Not tired, Eh?" she said to her self. She ate dinner when she got home and curled up. She fell asleep as soon as her eyes closed.

She woke in a starry pride. I'm in star pride again! she thought. The largest lion she has once spoke to her showed up. "Welcome back little one." He said. "We have a had a vision." he spoke with a serious tone. " A different will come, and become one" he said. She had a question but he disappeared before she could ask. Zimbwea woke up to an empty cave. "It's about time you have awoke" Akali said. Zimbwea refused to say why she had done so. She stood up and ate break fast with her mother. When they finished she walked outside her. "Where is father?" Zimbwea asked. "Your father has said a lost cub has come and we are taking it in, he didn't really give many details" Akali answered. Zimbwea opened her eyes wide.

"May I go see?! Please mother!?" she bursts out. Akali giggled "Of course you can as long as you father agrees. He is in the nursery" she said. Zimbwea zoomed off and walked near Gahsu. "Dad may I see the cub?" Zimbwea asked. Gahsu nodded and stepped to the side. A lioness was mothering the cub. But this was no lion cub Zimbwea thought. The cub rolled over and stared right into Zimbwea's. A cheetah!
