have right... Go now, before Dhalimu sees you. When you will back?”
“I try be in next month. If I have no reason, I’ll sure find some pretext.”
“I’ll try to find some too. Give some sign to Akra or Simmi and I’ll find you in Dried Oasis. But I can’t guaranty it... Then I will be already...”
“Goodbye, Kota.” Interrupted Taka. He wasn’t able to hear it anymore. He licked his beloved and turned on south-east. He started to run as fast as he could, doesn’t matter to save any strength. In fact, he wouldn’t be upset, if he would died on desert. Finally.

And the end seemed to be near. After less than hour, just before sunset, first sings of sandstorm showed. Taka knew that he was too far from Golden Sands to get back and there was no other shelter in sight. So he just laid down on hot sand and waited.
“Strange wind.” He thought. “It’s coming really fast... I have never seen such sudden sandstorm. I saw no signs today... well, I failed that. I just wonder, if it just wound me, or rip my flesh apart from bones. I guess, my carrier as prides arbiter soon will be over... O, Kota... It’s good you will have nothing ering from that tyrant...”
“He is rightful king!” called lion, but without any conviction. “He is son of my uncle Kovu and aunt Kiara. What should I do? Depose him?!” he was looking in beautiful eyes of lioness, that moment filled with tears. “He is my cousin! I can’t turn against my family! I can only tell it to my brother...”
? You would be now king...”“...of the Past.” Finished lion and lioness’s ghost burst in laughter.
“Good! That was great!” said with playful voice. “Someday, you will meet Tarki and... ow, never mind... Yes, I know, you are weaker. I know, you would probably die in challenge... But I see no fear in your eyes. Someone, who wanders through desert, just to maintain liaison between prides and make them cooperate to resist drought... is probably mad or ready to die in any time. Or both, what I see in you eyes. Why don’t you want to challenge Dhalimu?”
“He is my cousin.” Replied Taka. “And rightful king. I have no right...”
“...to defend lioness, you love?” finished Zira. “Don’t you think that are quite poor laws?”
“This is the Circle of Life.” Said lion. “My duty is to guard it.”
“Well done...” Zira clapped her paws. “But I think, that should be opposite: it has to guard you. And you tlace. I can’t...”
Kota interrupted his speech with kiss, then she answered with breaking voice.
“I know and I love you because of that too. You are so honourable and obedient to law. I love we because of thing... that will never allow us to be together.” She looked on the ground. “You have right... Go now, before Dhalimu sees you. When you will back?”
“I try be in next month. If I have no reason, I’ll sure find some pretext.”
“I’ll try to find some too. Give some sign to Akra or Simmi and I’ll find you in Dried Oasis. But I can’t guaranty it... Then I will be already...”

Depose him?!” he was looking in beautiful eyes of lioness, that moment filled with tears. “He is my cousin! I can’t turn against my family! I can only tell it to my brother...”
hink the same, but you are afraid to admit it. You are the same as your grandfather was!”“I would break the laws...”
“Dhalimu is breaking the laws! He is a tyrant! He doesn’t care about his subjects. You have right to dispose him... as descendant of royal line. Golden Ones can’t do this, because killing own monarch is terrible crime. But you can, you are not his subject. You won’t break any oath and you will be worthy to assume the throne.”
“I’m too weak to win with Dhalimu.” Said Taka quietly.
“And Scar was too weak to win with Mufasa! He was too weak to survive drought and save his prides. Also, he was too weak to conquer the throne for Vitani. But he did it all! You know that, because you are telling about it so often...” she came even closer and whispered him to ear. “I tell you a secret: weakness is just a state of mind.”
“Would you help me then?” asked unconvinced lion.
“lace. I can’t...”
Kota interrupted his speech with kiss, then she answered with breaking voice.
“I know and I love you because of that too. You are so honourable and obedient to law. I love we because of thing... that will never allow us to be together.” She looked on the ground. “You have right... Go now, before Dhalimu sees you. When you will back?”

I already have, Taka...” replied she, slowly disappearing into the air. “I already have.”After minute of gentle wind, all sand from cloud felt on the ground. Taka noticed, that there was just calm, silent night... He took a look around and burst in laughter.
So, after he had told his tales so many times, he discovered that he understood nothing from them. He was singing about heroes of the past, but with no slightest think that such a personalities could be needed in future. So, what far he was telling it? To amuse Kota? That Kota, who he just had left with tyrant, to her dreadful fate? He clutched paw into fist and hit on the ground. Golden Queen was right: weakness is just a state of mind. Fortunately, there wasn’t to late to change his mind. Such a thing is never easy, but always possible.
Taka had something to do. He turned back and started in Golden Sand’s direction.
