slow creature was attacked by something that was fast and powerful, like his brother Mufasa, then he could be stuck here forever. Right now all he could do was lie down and catch up on his sleep so he was ready when he was unstuck.

He looked around one more time, but found nothing. For now, he was on his own. He decided to try to engage in conversation once more. “So uh… Pora, why have you taken me? I assure you I’m not a threat to whatever it is you think I am.”

“Taka—”

d to. No you are not a threat to anyone yet, but it is necessary for you to become the biggest threat the pridelands have ever faced.”

“Who ordered you to? I want to kill them as soon as I get to them. Why should I get cubnapped just so I can become a terror on the pridelands? It isn’t fair.”

“Of course it isn’t fair. I will answer both of these questions but no more. After this you have to not speak a single word, consequences might be severe. Promise?”

“All right, but I want to know more.”

“Good, I was ordered to cubnap you by Mufasa, and you need to be the greatest threat ever so the other lions can kill you and restore the balance of good and evil in their territory.”

“WHAT? MUFASA? I don’t believe you and I never will until he himself says that he ordered you to take me away. Right now, he’s probably searching trying to save me.”

“Of course your brother is, he has no idea that you where cubnapped but has to find you before he goes back home.”

“Hold on, he has no idea where I could be, but he orders you to cubnap me. There must be some rendezvous point. Anyway, why do I have to be killed by my family to save good and evil?”

“Tsk, Tsk, so many questions. There is no rendezvous point, Mufasa, the greatest king ever only said to cubnap you. And for your last question, this really is the last answer so stop asking, you are the only way it can be done until about three hundred years later.”

Taka withdrew into himself after this conversation. It couldn’t be possible, his brother ordered him cubnapped but with no other orders, and he was already the greatest king EVER? Taka had one conclusion, that Mufasa was really a lot older than he actually looked and was some super tiny lion without a mane. But what hurt the most, was that father and brother had been lying to him about almost everything.

There was no way this was real, it was just a nightmare that he would have to wake up from soon.

 

 

Past and Present: Chapter 6

 

Zazu and Kucha were getting along surprisingly well for two birds that were supposed to be mortal enemies. They were very good friends and told hundreds of their stories from their childhood. They were both equally interesting, Kucha’s stories had more of a war element to them, while Zazu’s were more about the lessons he learned from his evil mother Hewa. Some of the stories told by Zazu were stories that were spun in a funny way as to give the impression of him not being serious. However, he still made them very serious and both birds learned to not do many of the things Hewa taught Zazu.

With Kucha however, his stories were also given a light air. He always told how he was the bravest hawk and bird at the scene of the incident, even if he “Who ordered you to? I want to kill them as soon as I get to them. Why should I get cubnapped just so I can become a terror on the pridelands? It isn’t fair.”

“Of course it isn’t fair. I will answer both of these questions but no more. After this you have to not speak a single word, consequences might be severe. Promise?”

was the first to run away and suffered the least injuries.

His favorite story to tell was the story about how he alone, a day after learning to fly, held off two eagles. In the battle, he suffered no scratches and made the eagles flee in terror. It went something like this: “My best act of courageous and brave and um… and…something else, was when I chased off two fully grown eagles by myself. I remember the day well…”

Sure thought Zazu, just like you remember every other day in your life.

“It was the day after I was pushed out of the nest by my parents, I was the best flyer that our flock had seen since the last hawk with this name. Anyway, today, I had flown out to a small rock to look around, when I saw these eagles closing in on me. This was a very serious thing. They blocked my escape route, so I could only hope to fly higher then they could.

Unfortunately, they were too high for a young chick, even one with my skills, to overcome. As it was, I got as high as I could, then they dive-bombed me. I flipped over, grabbed the first one with my talons, while biting the other wherever I could with my beak.

This wasn’t working well, so I pulled away, ripping one of his talons away in the process. As the other eagle came straight toward me, I turned directly into the direction he was coming from, he veered up to avoid me, but I went up even more so I could pass him and not get hurt. It worked very well. The one that just had a talon ripped out was not concentrating and flew straight into his partner coming from the other side trying to hit and avoid me at once.

This basically finished it for me. I came down, grabbed both their backs with my claws, and ripped them back out along with a hunk of flesh. The two eagles instantly turned away and never came back. I went home and told my parents immediately. They were so proud that their firstborn son had protected his flock without any help.

What he didn’t tell Zazu was that the battle never involved any fighting. It was a battle of wits and Kucha was very good at things like that. Also, the eagles just loved seeing little baby hawks so after a little while of arguing a moot point, they pretended to run away as if this little baby had scared them away with his fearsome beak.

One day Zazu asked a more personal question, “Why did you leave? You seemed to get everything you wanted over there.”

“Of course I did and that’s why I left. I needed to learn how to live on my own.”

“Well judging by your stories Kucha, you learned to do that a day before you were born!” Zazu reminded him.

“No Zazu, I’ll tell you later maybe, now isn’t the time.”

“Please? I need to know your past to trust you. I’ve told you mine in all my stories. They were chronological and were completely true. Do it for a lifelong friend of yours.”

Kucha relented in sight of this argument. It was true, he did need to open up about his past a little bit more. All his stories were obviously false and therefore nobody trusted him to say something true. “Very well Zazu, but please don’t tell anyone. None of those stories were true, you probably figured that out, but anyway,rning to fly, held off two eagles. In the battle, he suffered no scratches and made the eagles flee in terror. It went something like this: “My best act of courageous and brave and um… and…something else, was when I chased off two fully grown eagles by myself. I remember the day well…”
