Kovu felt the land below his paws shift into a lush full grass. He always loved coming to the Pride Lands. He couldn't help but remember his cubhood of seeking out Kiara and spending the night watching the stars and chasing after one another. As they grew older those nights turned more from playfulness to an air of romance. Both would look at one another an feel that sensation of weightlessness. But he couldn't think of that right now. He had a job to do.
Unknown to him above in the air the two vultures Kopa appointed were flying behind as silently their wings could allow them.
Pride Rock was growing closer and closer. He was almost there. Even though his mission was the main objective on his mind, the lion could not deny that he hoped to at least see Kiara one last time . There seemed to not be anyone around, most likely already organized into the main battle formation and ranks of the Pride Lands. That thought alone sent a pang of dread into Kovu.
A war is truly about to happen and I'm about to be the one to start it all.
Kovu was well into the Pride Lands. The sun was high into the sky, beaming a warmth down on him that felt great compared to the often searing heat of outer areas of the Outlands.
Now, where is the oh great king, Kovu scoffed to himself. The whole point of this was to deliver the message directly to him.
In the sky some distance from the Prideland army both Zazu and Ono were acting as surveillance.
"Do you see anything, Ono?", Zazu called to the other bird.
"Well, not anything out of the ordinary", Ono said, looking back and forth.
Kovu stalked his way through the Pride Lands still searching for the king.
"Wherever he is, it's certainly not on that rock", Kovu sighed, seeing Pride Rock seemingly abandoned in the distance. Scanning the distance, the large bodies of distant mammals caught Kovu's eye.
"Ha! Elephants...Can't hide em anywhere", Kovu chuckled, finding new strength in him knowing where to go now. He ran towards the field where the Pridelanders were organized.
"Hapana! Zazu, look!", Ono caught sight of the lion making his way towards the rest of the group.
"What is it?", Zazu asked, depending on Ono's incredible eyesight.
"It's a lion I've never seen before. He must be from the Outlands!", Ono drew to a conclusion.
"You're right. That's one of the Outland lions! Quickly we have to warn---", before he could finish both of them were snatched up by the vultures.
"Hey, hey now. We can't have you two squawking and messing up our plans", one of the vultures laughed. Both vultures had Ono and Zazu each, holding them tightly in their talons. "Now be some good little birdies and keep those beaks shut!"
Kovu bounded along the path made to the field. It shouldn't be long now.
"I can't believe this is actually happening...."
"I know. But we have to fight, too"
Kovu froze in place as he heard two very close voices, both of them he recognized.
Maybe I can make this work..., Kovu thought of a way to approach this.
