completely freaked out. He refused to talk or even see anybody that day so he could talk to the spirits and determine what was going on. In the morning he came out less aggressive but more depressed. “Listen up if you would please. I was told by the spirits that they will all come back eventually. However, I was not told whether they would come back alive or dead, injured or healthy, or together.

But they will be back.”

 

 

Disappointment: Chapter 9

 

Sakanya stretched in the early morning sunrise. It was the day after Kucha had woken and she felt ready to move on see farther away. That new ability made him able to spot a small dot moving far away. He left for a few minutes to see what it was because even from this distance, he could tell it wasn’t a creature normally found in this area of the savannah.

As he got nearer, he could tell that the dot looked remarkably like a lion and there were actually three of them. Two were very small, but lions nonetheless. Kucha flew back to Sakanya and Kuta immediately. “Stop!” he yelled. Immediately they stopped.

“What’s wrong?” they asked.

“Nothings wrong. There’s just some other lion coming in this general direction with two cubs.”

The lionesses looked at each other. Who could this be? “Well, let’s go take a look. Where are they Kucha?”

With that, Kucha led them to the place where the lion was heading. He hoped he had not changed course too much, he might have to waste up to an hour catching the lion. Fortunately, next time he checked, the lion was still coming right on track toward them. Very soon, they would meet. “All right, this lion is almost here. What are we going to do?” asked Kucha.

The lionesses immediately replied the same way. “We’ll hide right here and see who he is, if he’s a friend, then we’ll come out, if not, we’ll attack or just stay hidden.” The lionesses immediately climbed behind a rock outcropping that was fortuitously placed. Kucha and Zazu flew far up but in different directions. Now they just had to wait.

Almost as soon as everything was ready, they heard the two cubs laughing and playing while the adult lion was walking forward much quieter. The cubs quickly became almost silent. The lion must have warned them there was something ahead. Then he came over the hill. It was Ahadi of course, but Sakanya and Kuta were still surprised.

Then they ran out at Ahadi. “What are you doing here Sire? I thought we told you to stay home.”

Ahadi didn’t respond immediately because he first told Sarabi and Sarafina to come out, that it was safe. Then he said, “You did tell me that, but I just couldn’t stay home while my sons were gone. Sarabi and Sarafina here followed me here. By the time I knew they were behind me, it was too long of a way to send them back alone. Where’s Mufasa and Taka?”

Kuta glanced at Sakanya. There was only one way to say this. “Ahadi, we couldn’t get to them in time. We think they are alive, but they just disappeared along with the creature that cubnapped them. We don’t know what type of animal it is but according to descriptions, it was like some sort of monster. We were going to go to priderock and wait for the cubs to show up there. It’s doubtful they’ll turn up here.”

Ahadi was devastated. His cubs were gone, not likely to return, and he had gone all this way for nothing. He let out a scream of rage that the likes of were not heard in the savannah ever before.

The two lionesses calmly said, “Come on, let’s go home and wait. They will come back. Perhaps they are already back, or Rafiki has heard some news.”

All of them left for priderock, all depressed yet again and Ahadi in the very back.

 

 

Disappearing and Appearing: Chapter 10

 

It was the night in the place that Mufasa and Taka were sleeping. A dark figure of some unknown creature was slowly creeping up on them. Both cubs were sound asleep and neither had any idea that this was happening. The form seemed to be made out of the very substance of this place, some ether type stuff.

As the darkness reached them, it lowered itself to the height of the cubs and picked up Taka. Taka was still sound asleep. So was Mufasa. This was going well. The creature then started walking away stopped only once and looked back at Mufasa. He was now awake and staring at this new enemy. Then this enemy jus disappeared along with Taka.

Mufasa looked right at the place where Taka had disappeared again. He knew this would happen, but he still couldn’t believe it. But he was wondering where Taka had gone now. It was doubtful that it was back home. But was there some other world? Or was he just in some hidden place far away.

Then this world started to fade away into nothingness. So he was bound to leave this place at the same time also. It was better than being alone in paradise. Some colors started to form up now. It was definitely different.

 

Ahadi was still walking back with his head hung low and in the very back. Suddenly he heard this cry of surprise. He stopped and perked his ears listening for it again. Then he heard it, it sounded like his son Mufasa. He ran over to where the sound was coming from and there he saw his son, looking the other way toward priderock.

“Mufasa? Is that you?” asked Ahadi.

Mufasa was startled and looked around and saw his father. The look on his face was nothing short of astonished. “What are you doing here father?”

“I just went looking for you! What are you doing here? Why did you go off after Taka instead of going to me first?”

“The trail was already almost gone and I wouldn’t have had enough time to go to you. I barely managed to catch up to Taka.”

“You caught up to him? Where is he? I must know now!” howled Ahadi. By now the rest of the small group had arrived and was staring in astonishment at Mufasa’s sudden appearing. They were equally as surprised as Mufasa himself.

“Mufasa! Where’s Taka? What happened? Where did you disappear to?” Shouted Sakanya, Kuta, Sarabi, Sarafina, and Zazu. Kucha refrained from doing so. Instead he looked away, remembering the last time he had met Mufasa and his intentions. He would have to put those behind him now.

Mufasa was very surprised at this appearing of a lot of lions and birds. “Well, I really don’t know where Taka is. He just disappeared into thin air—literally. Anyway, from the time that I vanished w; text-indent: 0.5in;">Disappearing and Appearing: Chapter 10

ith Taka, here’s the story.

“When we disappeared, there were only us two in this sort of paradise world. Food just sort appeared there, along with water. It was not as enjoyable as you think. When you can’t get back to your family, it gets really lonely there. Any way, we talked to each other and both got really depressed because we were missing you guys.

“Then just like a few minutes ago, it was night there, and Taka was taken away by some other creature made out of dark. I woke up just as the black area looked at me, and then he just disappeared. A couple minutes later, the place faded away and I was returned to this place and saw priderock in the very distance.” After a long, awkward pause, he said nervously, “That’s all.”

The others were beyond speaking. There was another world besides this one here and the spirit world. “Where did Taka go to with that monster thing? Do you know?” They asked. “Did he go to the spirit world or
