answered.

All was silent after that.

“Prince, will soon find us. We must go farther.” Said Kiungo.

Nyota agreed and the two adolscents ran.

They went through another desert, kicking the soft warm golden sand (that matched Nyota’s fur) back at the ground. They trotted through a small oasis with an olive colored palm tree that defended you from the blazing sun.

The teenage cubs panted again and relaxed for a bit.

Kiungo kicked the sand. Then he came up with a plan. A good plan. A sharp plan.

            Chapter 9 Prince’s Search:

The searing sun shined on Prince forcing him to awake.

Even though the sun was quite torrid, Prince enjoyed it as it heated his soft fur.

Prince stretched and yawned and hopped off the barky tree.

“Good morning Kiungo, good morning Ny-“ Prince stopped himself from talking. He gasped.

Nyota and Kiungo weren’t there.

“Kiungo!?!?! Nyota?!?!?!?” he called. He didn’t hear a response.

He scampered through the jungle, climbing each tree, sniffing the grass and did everything he could to find his cousin and his crush.

“They must’ve left me here.” He said to himself.

Prince ran out of the tropical jungle and galloped through the scalding desert. He kicked amber sand as he leaped and ran to find the other (older) cubs. Prince was panting and he stopped by an oasis. He drank some of the refreshing water, cleaned his face and “mane” and continued his search.

            Chapter 10 Diggah Tunnah:

“Nyota!” called Kiungo.

“Yes Kiungo,” replied Nyota.

“I got a plan.” He told her.

“Really? What?” Nyota asked.

“We will dig!” exclaimed Kiungo.

Nyota laughed. Kiungo gave her a stern look.

“Oh. You’re serious.” Nyota said.

“Yes.” Answered Kiungo.

Nyota and Kiungo found a good spot to dig. Kiungo’s plan was in motion.

They dug and dug lots.

Nyota started to hum “Diggah Tunnah” and Kiungo joined her and the two cubs harmonized the melody. It sounded quite lovely.

Nyota stopped humming.

“Kiungo, I think I see Prince.” Nyota said.

Kiungo saw him.

“Dig faster!” he commanded.

The cubs dug rapidly.

Prince saw them just barely but still kept walking at the same pace.

By then, Kiungo and Nyota had dug a five foot deep hole and it was less than two feet wide.

“Duck down! Prince is coming!” Kiungo said.

Kiungo and Nyota ducked down and dug quietly. Prince was near and didn’t notice the hole. He walked right pass it.

Prince was soon far off and way past the hole.

Kiungo took a quick glance from the hole. He could no longer see Prince.

“Okay.” He said “It’s clear.”

Kiungo tried to safely crawl back down in the hole but instead fell, causing him to almost kiss Nyota.

She turned her head away and continued to dig.

Kiungo smirked a bit and then went back to digging. He found an old bone and offered it no Nyota. She didn’t want it so Kiungo decided that he would chew on it.

Night came quick once again and Kiungo dug a small spot for Nyota to sleep in. Nyota licked  his muzzle as he lied down on the sand. Nyota cuddled up to him.

Kiungo licked her back and warmed her fur.  Nyota soon sleepily closed her eyes and Kiungo soon closed his.

            Chapter 11 Bora’s Dawn:

Marina awoke to realize her son and Prince were both missing.

“Kiungo?!?! Prince?!?!” she called.

Marina didn’t hear an answer.

“There’s only one thing to do.” She said to herself.

She ran toward the land of Bora and searched for King Julian. Marina found him sleeping in his cave.

“Julian!” she whispered.

Julian moaned.

“Not now Foxy.” He whispered.

“No!” Marina said. “It’s me, Marina.”

Julian awoke.

“Marina!” he said hugging her “I can’t believe you’re here. Why did you come at such an early time?”

“My son Kiungo and your son Prince are both missing.” She blurted.

“What?!” he roared.

“Yes! I tried calling their names and I tried to search for them. I just can’t seem to find them.” She answered.

Julian awoke the pride.

“Prince is missing!” he roared. “We must find my son!”

Everyone ran out of the cave searching for this lost cub.

“Wait,” Julian paused. “You had a son? Who’s his father.” He demanded to know.

Marina sighed. “Kasi.” She answered.

“My brother?”

“Yes.”

“I have a nephew? My cubs have a cousin?”

“Yes Julian. It’s all true. When Kasi saved from the stampede, I was pregnant with Kiungo. Kasi did know that I was pregnant, he didn’t know he would die that day. I knew I would be a disgrace if I came back to the Pride pregnant so I ran off to the Shadow Pride and Kiungo was born safely there.”

“Oh.”

“We must search for the cubs then.”

“Well, Kiungo isn’t exactly a cub. He’s practically a teen now.”

“Oh, and you only told him yesterday who his father was?”

“Well-“

“If I were you I would’ve told him who his father was from the START.”

“But-“

“But what?”

“I didn’t want to tell him that his father was dead!”

“Oh.”

“Yeah!”

Julian walked away and began to search for his son and his nephew.

            Chapter 12 Tunnah Failure:

Julian and his pride bolted through the torrid honey sand, splashed through the oasis and found a hole.

Julian poked his head through with his large red mane getting in his face.

He noticed strange tunnels that he probably couldn’t fit through.

“I’m going in.” Julian told his family.

“Julian get out of there! It will collapse!” Foxy said. She couldn’t let her mate be killed.

“At least I might find my son and or my nephew.” He defended as he crawled through the slim hole.

It smelt rather awful but he still kept crawling through.

Julian suddenly saw a pair of two dark blue eyes. They belonged to a creature of some sort but the creature was smaller than Julian.

“Prince?” he asked.

The creature was stunned and scratched Julian’s muzzle.

Julian was in pain yet still kept searching through the mysterious hole.

The creature tried moving faster and faster.

Sand suddenly fell.

Julian tried to rush out of the tunnel as fast as he could.

Shockingly, he saw a crack of light. He crawled through and saw the creature clearly.

He was a teen lion with brown fur, a black growing mane, and navy blue eyes.

“Who are you?” the lion asked. He sounded quite fierce.

“I’m trying to find my son if you don’t mind.” Julian defended. “The prince.”

“Yeah, I know a prince. He’s my cousin and his name is Prince-“ Julian stopped the teen from talking. He grabbed his neck.

“Prince is MY son!” he growled. “Where is he what did you do with him-“ Then Julian stopped himself. “Your cousin eh?”

“Yeah, what’s it to ya?” the teen replied.

“Then you’re Kiungo! You’re my nephew!” Julian exclaimed hugging the teen. The teen felt really awkward plus his girlfriend was nearby watching the whole thing. Not to mention, she was cracking up. She was laughing more than a hyena.

Kiungo was trying to get out of this “man hug” and finally did.

“Do you know where Prince is?” Julian asked.

“No.” Kiungo answered. “Well, he walked passed this hole and-“

“You didn’t go after him?!” Julian stormed.

“Well, I was-“

“Why did you leave my son?!?!?!” Julian erupted.

“Well, MAYBE I wanted some time ALONE!!” Kiungo defended.

“With who?” Julian said thinking that his nephew wouldn’t have an answer.

“With ME!!” Nyota butted in.

“Oh.” Julian said. “Do you know where he went?”

“He said he was headed toward Mali.” Kiungo responded.

“Mali!? We’re only in Kenya!” He would have to go through, Sudan, Chad, and Niger to reach Mali!” said Julian.

“Well, he’s just a little cub. He probably thought Mali was nearby.” Kiungo suggested.

“He’s not that little. Although, you may be right.” Julian agreed.

“He might’ve gotten lost.” Said Nyota.

“I have a plan.” Julian said. All of the lions crowded around to hear the King’s idea.

     Chapter 13 Cokelat’s Attempt:

The plan was in motion and the lions got to there positions.

Julian, Kasa and Mkuu went North, Foxy, Feline, and Kifalme went South, Kiungo and Nyota went East, and the hunters and Marina went West.

Kiungo and Nyota headed South but soon realized they were going back to the jungle. Obviously, Prince wouldn’t be there. The teens headed there anyway, though didn’t do their job. They splashed in the water, ate fish and other sorts of activities
