Thundercats a new royal family

chapter 2 the little princess

Claudia was the newborn princess of Thundera. She looked so much like her mother.

Lion-o and Liosia decided to have a party to celebrate her birth. They were going to invite all the animals.

Since the war with Mum-Ra ended the animals were united as friends and allies. They made the Animals of third earth union.

All the creatures of third earth now live together in peace and harmony.

The animals came to Thundera to see the new born lion princess.

They brought gifts for the cub.

"She's a little beauty." Panthro said.

"Thank you," Liosia said.

The princess would grow up to break hearts one day.

Claudia was a very gentle little cub. She was starting grow.  

"Princess of Thundera," Lion-o cooed as he held her.

Claudia cooed and pulled at her father's mane. "Ouch!" Lion-o said. "You're feisty. It's not ladylike to pull someone's hair." he said.

Liosia came up. "Okay Lion-o it's time for Claudia to be nursed." she said taking the cub from his grasp.

"Okay then." he said.

Claudia was nursing. Liosia was holding carefully and relaxed as her daughter fed on her milk. "She's really growing." Liosia said.

"Yes not only is she drinking milk but also solid foods." Lion-o said.

"Yes she is," Liosia said.

"She looks a lot like you dear." Lion-o said.

"Yes, but she's got your eyes." Liosia said. Then carefully readjusted her feeding daughter. While unintentionally making her let go.

Claudia began to cry. 

"Sorry sweetie, mommy didn't mean to do that," Liosia said. Then brought her back to her chest and she latched on.

"She's got quite an appetite." Lion-o said.

"Yes her appetite is very healthy." Liosia said.

Now Claudia let go by herself feeling satisfied. "Looks like she's finished." Lion-o said.

Liosia burped her child. 

Time passed by quickly and now little Claudia was toddler. 

Lion-o was sitting in the garden with Liosia sitting next to him. 

Claudia ran up. She was holding a flower. It was star Lily. 

"Hey sweetie," Lion-o said when got up and opened arms.

Claudia ran to him. "Daddy look what I found." she said.

"That's a very pretty flower you know daddy gave the same kind of flower to mommy and that's how we fell in love." Lion-o said.

"Really that's how you two got together?" Claudia asked.

"Yes we can tell you about our adventures." Liosia said. "We can also tell you haw mommy chose daddy out of all the princes who she was suppose choose to be her husband." she said.

"Really how did you chose?" Claudia asked.

Claudia was very curious and had a good heart.

"We can tell you our story." Lion-o said.

"Was I there too?" Claudia asked.

"No, sweet this was years before you were born." Liosia said.

"Oh," Claudia said.

Claudus and Leonara came out. "Grandpa, Grandma!"  Claudia said. She ran to them. 

Claudus opened his arms. "Hey grandpa." she said.

"Hello little one you are big girl," Claudius said.

The old king and queen were living in a nice big house near the palace.

"Look at what I found," Claudia said.

"A star Lily those are the same flowers that your mom and dad had at their wedding," Leonara said.

"Daddy told me gave this to mommy." Claudia said.

"Yes your father gave your mother a star Lily that is how the two of them fell in love." Claudus said.

"Grandpa?" Claudia asked.

"Yes my dear granddaughter?" Claudius asked.

"How did you and grandma fall in love?" Claudia asked.

"Yes I remember the day. I was a prince of Thundera and my father wanted me to marry a princess. There were several of them. At least eight of them. But the one who met last not only caught my eye but stole my heart." Claudius said.

"Grandma?" Claudia asked.

"Yes it was your grandmother." Claudus said. "I remember dancing with her." he said. "Your great- grandfather, my father wanted me to choose one of them. But he wanted me to choose for good of Thundera. I told him I pick  Leonara your grandmother because I loved her just like he loved my mother. He understood that and gave us his blessing so we got married. That is how your grandparents fell in love." Claudius said.

"What about uncle Tygra? And daddy where were they?" Claudia asked.

"They weren't born yet and you were not born yet either this was years ago when me and you grandfather were young." Leonara said.

"Yes and me and your uncle Leonaro were not born yet either." Liosia said. Liosia now knew her brother was at least 17 and going to be eighteen next month. He was also going to be the king of Starrina.

"How come Uncle Tygra has two daddies and mommies?" Claudia asked.

"Actually I'm his godfather and your grandmother his godmother you see his daddy and mommy gave him to us to raise because when your uncle Tygra was a baby he was in danger because of a monster that he slayed when he got older." Claudius said.

"I remember uncle Tygra told me about the monster." Claudia said.

"Yes, and your cousin Javan is named after Tygra's daddy." Leonara said.

"So cousin Javan is named after uncle Tygra's tiger daddy?" Claudia asked.

"Yes and all this will make sense to you when you're older." Claudius said.

"Okay grandpa." Claudia said giving him the flower. "For you," she said.

"Thank you, you have good heart my granddaughter." Claudius said.

"You know you're named after grandfather Claudius," Leonara said.

"How?" Claudia asked.

"Well Claudia is the girl verse of Claudius." Lion-o explained.

"So I'm named after grandpa cool," Claudia said.

Claudia yawned and rubbed her eyes. "Okay little princess time for your nap." Liosia said.

"No nap," Claudia said.

"Yes nap," Liosia said picking her up.

Then carried her inside.

Soon little Claudia will travel to Starrina to see the ball held in her uncle's honor so he can choose a wife.
