He had to find something on the outskirts of the jungle. There was nothing in the way of meat that he had a hope of catching.

Mufasa was on the verge of giving up, when, searching farther in, he stumbled upon a dead bird that looked strikingly similar to Zazu. It was the only food he found, but it would sustain him for a while.

He continued on his way. He tried to go even quicker now, there wouldn’t be much food after this meal. Soon however, the trail became clearer, he must be close. Now Mufasa was almost running along the path. The only thing in his mind was one word—SOON. Soon he would taste the blood of the cubnapper. Soon he would rescue Taka. Soon he could go back home. Soon the family could be together again. Soon, soon, soon.

There was a dust cloud ahead, now Mufasa was sprinting. He accelerated until he leapt into the dust.

 

 

Meeting of the Paths: Chapter 13

 

Kuta and Sakanya were also walking quickly at this point. The birds were flying up ahead trying to find Mufasa. Everyone was glad that Ahadi went back to Priderock. It made the journey much more bearable. As they looked forward, Kuta saw Zazu coming back.

“Oh look Sakanya, Zazu is coming back. They must have found something and Kucha is making sure we don’t lose track of it. Hello Zazu, have you found Mufasa yet?”

. Please don’t injure Mufasa too much, he will be an adult lion one day and then he could easily kill you! Oh no oh no oh no oh no.”

It was too late. Mufasa stumbled a little though. This slowed him down just enough to throw off Kucha’s aim. All three watchers from the hill, invisible to everyone, saw Mufasa leap straight into the dust followed an instant later by Kucha. They could only watch in horror now as the battle took place, only making a larger cloud.

 

Ahadi was in a foul temper when he got back to Priderock. He was mad that he was forced to go back by his own lionesses. He was mad that the hawk had almost attacked him, he was mad at Zazu for existing. Everything else, he just decided to be mad at for no reason at all.

Rafiki was first to spot him from his special little tree. Rafiki ran to Priderock awaiting the king so he could tell him about what had happened since. There really wasn’t much except rumors about a darker lion cub just disappearing into some sort of dust cloud, with a more golden cub following. Rafiki was almost positive that they were Ahadi’s two sons.

He saw Ahadi getting closer and closer to Priderock. His queen joined him, talking to him. Finally they entered.

Rafiki caught them by surprise a little, and Ahadi almost attacked him. Fortunately nothing actually happened.

“Sire, I must tell you something.”

“Can’t it wait Rafiki? I am very angry at almost everything right now, I don’t want to listen to any of your talk.”

“I’m terribly sorry if that’s the case you should relax for a day, just lie down and relax. But this is not something that can wait. I need to know if you met a hawk before you came back. Name of Kucha I think.”

“This made Ahadi very angry. I saw that hawk all right, I want to kill him and he wanted to kill me. I don’t want to be near him unless that hawk is not aware that I am right behind him.”

Rafiki started explaining a little. “Ahadi, when I was a couple years younger, when I was taking what might be considered a vacation, I met that hawk. I healed him. I also believe that Mufasa was out on one of his excursions by himself right before this. I think it is very probable that it was Mufasa that nearly killed that hawk. Kucha may want some revenge.”

Even Ahadi didn’t think he could be this angry. Everything was going wrong. Both cubs disappearing and not being able to go after his own cubs because he didn’t talk nice to a hawk that would want to kill his sons. Maybe he did need a night of peace and quiet once. He went into the inner chamber alone.

 

PART 2

 

Prologue

 

Rafiki still had no idea that Mufasa (adult) was responsible for all this. He was just as confused as the cubs and the other lions. Fortunately for him, Mufasa had just decided to give him another vision. As soon as Rafiki went into the tree that he lived in, he felt incredibly sleepy and just collapsed on the ground.

He saw an adult lion at once. The lion was magnificent wreathed among the clouds in the heavens. The voice was overpowering drug that overwhelmed even Rafiki, he knew this lion held power among the stars and used to hold power upon the earth.

“Rafiki, do not worry about Mufasa and Taka. I will make sure everything is taken care of. Despite what you think has happened, it is necessary to ensure the survival of the pridelands.”

Rafiki, in his vision/dream had a couple questions for this mysterious lion. “Hold on. What is your name? How can trust someone if they won’t even tell me their name? And why are you reassuring me that everything is necessary?”

“All right Rafiki, I’ll tell you everything. My name is…” there was a long pause here, Mufasa was hesitant and Rafiki could feel it.

“I’m waiting.”

“My name is… is Mufasa. That is a very small part of the reason why I needed to reassure you also. I have a plan to restore the pridelands to their original state, but I need Taka to be evil toward his family or else it won’t work. I have had a servant take him to train him very quickly.”

“You’re Mufasa? But Mufasa is searching for Taka, and he’s still a cub. How can he possibly be you?”

“I’m the dead adult version of him. Just let your feelings guide you with you’re decisions of what to do with the cubs and the pride. I think you’ll do just fine.” With that, Mufasa faded away with Rafiki waking up and yelling after him.

“Don’t you go away yet! I still have a whole bunch of questions for you!”

With a final gasp Mufasa left one final message, “Hakuna Matata, no worries.”

Rafiki wasn’t very pleased and he sat skulking in his tree for a long while. “The nerve of him. Probably will just forget about me and leave the pridelands to the hyenas. Of course he is Mufasa, the grown up cub.” He sighed, for now, he would have to figure out what he meant by Hakuna Matata.

 

 

Reunion: Chapter 1

 

The decision had been made. If Pora didn’t reach the destination today, he would have to get something to eat for poor Taka. They ha/u1:p>

d been stopping sometimes to get a light drink, but that wouldn’t sustain a cub for ever. He no longer had the strength to even stay awake longer for a few minutes. His body just shut down all functions.

Taka was conscious…barely. He was capable of thought, but not much else at this time. All he knew was that he was about to die of not eating anything in several days. He must be rescued soon, if he wasn’t, this could be his last day of being conscious.

He looked back though right before he knew he would black out for who knew how long. It was what he was waiting for, a small Mufasa rose over the hill behind him and charged toward Taka.

That sight gave Taka the energy to stay awake at least for a little longer. Then, his hopes went down a little as he saw a hawk dive down from on top right toward Mufasa. However, two lionesses also came over the hill. Maybe everything would turn out okay after all. Mufasa hit a rock with his paw, rolled over, and continued running. The hawk pulled up at the last second to avoid slamming into the ground.

Mufasa was here finally! With one last push, he leaped straight toward Taka. The surroundings immediately changed. There was only Mufasa and Taka here now. Even Pora had
