Description
Thank you so much for participating in this competition! I loved each entry this time, and it was difficult to choose, but Capricornfox's story painted quite a vivid picture in my head.
I'm looking forward to hosting one of these again soon :^)
Description by Capricornfox
Kovu was as foolish as the next cub, not knowing what real danger was until it was looking right back at him. His sister, Vitani, was no different. So when she suggested they sneak away from their older brother's watchful gaze, he smiled in agreement. It would be easy, Nuka hated watching his siblings and could care less about them; Kovu "the Chosen One" especially.
They crossed the river, bounding across fallen trees that lead a path straight towards the Pride Lands, where they both knew they weren't allowed to go. If any of Simba's Pride saw them, they'd hunt them down and have their skins for breakfast, according to their mother. The stories Zira told them did frighten the cubs, but more-so sparked their curiosity.
Kovu and Vitani made their way across the plains, each looking this way and that at all the greenery, hopping insects and birds flying above, as bountiful herds of prey grazed in the distance. They tried to keep themselves out of sight while they explored. But then, out of the corner of Kovu's eye, he spotted something he hadn't seen before...
A golden cub around his age, giggling, laughing and playing... with her mother. It was a strange and curious sight for Kovu. He'd never experienced the joy that could be seen from the both of them, enjoying each other's company. What kind of training could this possibly be?
Suddenly, Vitani pushed Kovu's face down into the dirt, hushing him before he could protest. A large lion with an impressive mane was heading their way, towards the mother and cub. He suddenly let out a roar that frightened the siblings, making their fur stand on end. They high-tailed it out of the Pride Lands as quickly as they could, rushing back into the Outlands, where they collapsed as they both tried to catch their breath. Kovu was in disbelief they hadn't been seen. Vitani was pleased and laughed boldly at their successful venture.
Back in the Pride Lands, Simba caught up with Nala and his daughter Kiara.
"Is everything alright?" Nala asked, concerned about the roar he'd let out.
"Yes, everything is fine." Simba replied with a bit of a chuckle. "I was just stung by a bee, as I passed that tree over there!"
