The Power Between Us

Chapter 27 Surgical Death

It was the day that Kion needed surgery in order to have a third chance at life, the first chance was when he was a cub and ended up in the outlands, Simba had to rescue him from Janga and his clan, the second time was not far from today, the snake bite that left a mark on Kion, it is still there but since healed by the tree, Kion lived to become the king he is but everyone feared he might not be king anymore. Simba lost enough blood that he couldn't donate his liver, if he did his body won't function. " I'll do it". Kiara stood up and walked over to Rafiki who stared at Simba, Kiara's eyes wet and as a father he was the one to take care of his kids but today Kiara stood up, " Are you sure?", Kovu had a worried sound but Kiara assured everyone in the room that she was healthy, they were only five years apart and it'll work for Kion, if Simba or Nala gave their liver it'll work but not as well as a young one, plus Kiara can just grow a new one. Simba and Nala walked up to their daughter and hugged her, " be carefully Rafiki", Rafiki and Makini got ready as they shared a few words. "Thanks for being a big sister", " it's okey, I'll do anything for my little bro", Rafiki was ready, the royal family walked out as Kiara walked onto yo the rock and laid on the right side of her body. Like Simba Rafiki stabbed Kiara with a thorn that'll knock her out for eight to ten hours at a time, too much and she could die. Kiara winched as it was injected, she didn't feel anything at first but soon the numbness came, all over her body she felt paralyzed, trying to move her body won't let her, she was glued to the rock, soon she went dizzy and the world was spinning, the last thing she saw was her mother walking out of the tree and closing the vines behind.

The morning came and they were a few hours off schedule but it'll be lunch time before they'll reach the place they sought. Basically jogging they went past many beautiful landscapes, the mountains, plains and hills, it was made them realize what they fought for, these special lands. " how we all doing?", Rani stopped to look back at the group who was happily chatting away, " were good, you?", Rani was caught off guard by the question and so she doesn't get squashed by questions and caring she stood proud and said she was great.
"How is Azaad?", Anga flew low to talk about her partner. " he's good, he is back in his forest helping the animals there", " he is so cute, perfect for you", Fuli started to blush and soon everyone saw it, to make fun of it Jaseri mention having cubs?
"Shut up", they giggled as they continued to walk. Fuli began thinking, 'I would like to have cubs but I don't know about Azaad?', she shook it off and continued on her journey. ' we'll see'

Back in the Valley Vitani was roaring left, right and centre, she was clearing the lands from dead corpse to fallen trees, rocks and anything that wasn't in place. She came across the area where Kion defeated Yassain, his blood spot was still there and looking around ten metres away laid the lion who was a fool to think he was getting the roar, the trees and shrubs were burnt everywhere, Simba was there along with everyone else and Vitani didn't know what to do with Yassain's body, " we'll bury him somewhere, for now put him with the rest. Hopefully by the end of the week the Mandrills have dug up graves for them, Vitani blew up a tornado that carried the good and evil to a place where the dead laid. There is was sorted out, the allies on one side and the evil on the other, family and friends travelled from all areas in Africa to see their family's or friends who dies in battle. It was hard to see, there was thousands of them, of all kind ready to be put to rest three metres under ground. The PPO carried on as Vitani went from valley to valley, village to village, land to land searching to clear it up.

Kiara's eyes opened as she took in count her surroundings, she was still stiff and very tired, " did it work?", her whisper was just heard as she cleared her throat.
"yes, yes, it did work, Kion is saved", " so Rani and the others didn't need to go and get queen Kass?"," I guess not, but it's too early to know, he still has a chance to not succeed. The liver needs to settle in", Kiara was thirsty, her mouth was so dry she could drink an entire lake. Makini went out and brought back a bowl if fresh water, it tasted so good, cool and refreshing, " For now you and your brother needs to rest", Rafiki and Makini walked outside and into the evening sun, Kiara looked at her own body, there was a bandage where they took out her liver, looking to the left laid her brother, he too had a bandage at where they inserted the liver. "I love you Kion", she laid down on his neck as she drifted back asleep.

The sun set as Rani and the others decided to get some rest, again they lost track off time and the path and got lost, instead of making it by lunch they would make it by lunch tomorrow, Rani was mad, ' what if Kion is dead? It'll be my fault, we took too long', she laid down next to a pond, looking down into her reflection she saw the stars, behind her was the southern cross, reflecting it was the stars that guided Kion to her home, smiling she looked up into the night sky, the twinkling stars flickering down and giving light to the animals which walked the night. In the horizon more stars appeared, squinting her eyes it was getting bigger, the star was getting bigger, it wasn't the sun,
"Hay guys look" everyone looked at the direction Rani was looking and they too saw the bright star. "what is it?", it was getting bigger and bigger, " Could it be? The Mythic Glow?". " yes, yes it is".
