and you should do the same, tomorrow it's a big day" Nala said normally

" Come on Nala, we're not friends anymore, I know you must be a bit mad at me for everything but you're my Queen now remember? I think you would prefer to rest by my side"

" Yeah right, I almost forgot about that it's just that... Everything it's changing so fast, and it's weird, I don't think I can get used to all that so quick" Nala said a little shy

" Oh don't worry sweetheart, you'll see tomorrow will be a better day, but only if you sleep by my side tonight" Simba said smiling as he laid his head

" Fine, I'll sleep by your side tonight" Nala said smiling, she moved towards Simba, laying my his side

" Goodnight dear" Nala said licking Simba's cheek

" Goodnight" Simba replied

That night, the Pridelanders would finally sleep in peace, Simba was back, the true king had returned and things would be much better from now once. After a few hours, dawn came, the sun was beggining to show up between the clouds on a purple and orange sky, the skies in the Pridelands never have been so bright, even some birds returned to fly on it, like they knew time had changed.

However, far away from the Pridelands there was a dead and decayed land that had been affected by Scar's reing negligence, there the skies hardly were blue, they skies only were grey or had dark shades, only vultures or other raptors flyed over the sky, eating dead prey and small creatures that lived in the dead ground. The land had a rocky ground filled with mounds like mountains in the horizon, just like the Pridelands had the Priderock, that land had a giant mound like a dark and isolated mountain. To pass to that land, Bianca had to cross the river that divided the land from the rest of the whole world, that river was the only water supply of the land.

Bianca and her cubs were resting under what was left from a tree, they walked all night long, Bianca needed a rest, especially Nuka who was almost dying of tiredness. They weren't at the Pridelands anymore, they couldn't identify where they were but that part of the land seemed more dead and destroyed than the Pridelands, they were close to the river divide. Bianca had stopped to feed her cubs, they weren't young newborns anymore, they already had teeth and should learn to eat meat, she had left them with Nuka and went to hunt some mices that she founded around, after a while Bianca had caught 4 mices to her children, since Nuka was the oldest he had to eat more, even being harsh, Bianca knew how to be a good mother. Nuka was babysitting his siblings on his arms, Nunka was sleeping while Shetani just wanted to move as much as she could, that cub didn't stopped moving, she wanted to leave Nuka's armsno matter the cost:

" Dammit Shetani! Don't you stop moving just once?" Nuka complained while Shetani kicked his face with her tiny feet " I just can't wait for you to grow up, I hate taking care of cubs, I had to carry you all the way here, give me a break sis!" Nuka continued as Shetani stopped moving and bited his paws with her small but sharp teeth, Nuka didn't seemed to care that much.

Suddenly, Nuka sees his mother coming towards with the mices in her mouth, she seemed a bit tired, Nuka was glad to see his mother, he was getting worried about her and about the vultures that flyed over him all the time like they pretended to eat him. Bianca approached Nuka who didn't said anything he just looked at her with a smile on his face. Bianca dropped the mices, for her, a Ex-Queen who used to eat the best meal everyday, mices were like trash and didn't wanted to eat, she just dropped the mices in the ground and layed down close to her cubs. The cubs were starving and attacked the mices, eating them. Bianca was licking her paws and her fur, she cared much about her appearence, while she did that she looked at her cubs with pride seeing them growing strong and smart just like Scar wanted, specially Nunka, Scar's favorite son and chosen one, the cub that had all his genes, everytime Bianca would think about Scar she had a smile on her face, she remembered the times since they first met, Bianca was a cub falling in love, and when he chosed her to be his Queen, Bianca felt like her destiny had been fulfilled, being Queen and staying by the side of her love, however she realized after the birth of her first cub Nuka that Scar wasn't the same with her, Scar and her never had the same relation again, he had fallen in love for another lioness... Nala, he was crazy for her, not even Bianca could undersatnd why she didn't killed that lioness when she had the chance, now was just too late.

Some parts of her story Bianca just wanted to forget at once, about the misery and lost in her life, who just made her mad and angry, she took a deep breath and tried to relax "Everything will be okay Bianca you'll see, they''ll see, you're a Queen after all" Bianca said to herself, trying to calm down. Bianca had looked at her cubs, they were sleeping and had already eated all the mices, she looked at the horizon behind and saw the light of the day coming from the Pridelands, while where she was the skies had many grey clouds with a dark brown sky with little much sun, it seems that she had fallen asleep while dreamed about Scar:

" Get up hairballs! It's time to move!" Bianca said getting up quickly as she hit the cubs with her tail, making them wake up scared

" Mom whats is going on?" Nuka asked a bit scared

" Get up Nuka, we have to move on now!" Bianca yelled angrily, she just turned her back and started to move towards the river

" Yes, but, Mom what about Nunka and Shetani?"

" They will have to walk, they are not so young anymore" Bianca replied not even looking at her son, she just kept moving

" But.."

" Nuka! Do what I say, if you just stand there like a rock they will never walk, come on move!"

Nuka looked at his siblings worried, could they really walk for themselves? When they saw that Bianca was going away without them they just mew and cried, Nunka was the one who cried most, he cried and stayed on the same place while Shetani meowed a lot but she was moving, trying to walk and tumbling, Nuka wanted to go and help them but Bianca just said no and kept moving, after a whille Nunka had stopped crying and started to walk, Shetani was already walking with less dificulties than Nunka since she was months older than him, while Nunka tumbled as he walked, soon Shetani and Nunka had reached Bianca and Nuka, the mother was proud of her cubs and Nuka was happy for his siblings. The family was once again on the move, there was some parts that Nuka should have to help his siblings to pass through. Soon, after one hour or less Bianca arrived to the river the land was on the other side, she just had to cross the river, however the river had crocodiles on it, but lucklily they were sleeping, it's wasn't many of them and they we're sleeping away from Bianca, however, in water they move faster and if they woke up while she was crossing the river...

First Bianca grabbed Nunka and Nuka grabbed Shetani

"Mommy, will I have cross the river by myself?" Nuka asked scared

"Sorry, but you will have to do it Nuka, stop beign a coward just once" Bianca said, she couldn't speak loud or she would wake up the crocodiles

She started to enter the river, she cold fell the slimy mud on the ground, it was gross and deep, it covered all her paws, at least Bianca could touch the ground while Nuka had to swim and carry Shetani on his back, as always the little devil was just enjoying. They had to be careful, Bianca moved slowly in the water with Nunka on her mouth she was with her head raised to the maximum to keep the cub safe, Nuka was behind his mother, he had found a easier way to cross, instead of swim he just hold up on his mother's back and she carried him, Nuka couldn't be the strongest or the bravest but that cub was smart. The river wasn't so long, in a few minutes, with a lot of delicacy and silence Bianca had arrived the river bank. She and Nuka left the river slowly, Bianca's paws were covered in river mud but she didn't cared, Nuka was all wet and shivering, he put Shetani on the ground and shake it off to take the water from his fur.

Bianca licked her fur and her paws and as she licked her back and the rest of her body, she admired herself as always. After grooming, Bianca and her cub were ready to walk again, Bianca checked her cubs, she licked Nunka's muzzle and groomed Nuka little fur head who was all messy, Bianca didn't showed a smile on her face but the cubs smiled as they felt their mother's affection. Bianca turned around and started to move towards the Deadland, her cubs followed her without questions. Nuka looked at everything around him while walking by his mother side, there were trees and grass around but everything was withered, forgotten and decomposed, when the cub looked at the horizon and everything around beyond he only saw plateaus of many sizes around like together they formed a fort around the land, rocky plateaus like mountains with no green on it, the breeze wasn't fresh and it gave him chills. This was his home now, the Deadland where only the most dispised and awful animals would live, a dead land, with little food or water, surrounded by rock formations and small mountains and a dark sky over everything, the only sounds to be heard were his footsteps ad the vultures in the sky. It wasn't Bianca's choice
