King 25

Chapter 16 : The fight for protection and love

The light rain continues to pour making an awful lot of pitter pattering , obnoxious noise on certain areas of Sundaya. Rather dominantly showering whether choosing a place in particular or not including the cats by Queen Destiny's throne to the very right. In a camera view when scrolling along with the center of the area.

King Tawny dashes foward to Kip who still squirms being lifted by Touphy and Tum and faces him with the claws agressively. Touphy and Tum let go and falls back watching ahead. Queen Destiny , still at the far diagonal right calls for Kip sounding like she'll cry in tears while other male cats attack from behind surrounding him. And gives the fired prisoner another small scar onto his left , furry cheek.

Queen Destiny : " Kip ! "

Not really a big deal like his right , furry eye is with a medium sized scar taking over. He roars in pain moving back almost entering left including the male cats that are still on his case in determination distracting him.

Kip : " Go ! "

Queen Destiny turns her furry , long body right looking at the thick and thin partnership of branches overlapping one another in a pile. , to the dirt ledges going higher , higher , and higher at her tower looking for an escape route.

She looks straight seeing Flaunti and Kip's alliances of male cats coming straight at a direct right then splits up fighting back the best way they can. Flaunti makes himself useful by dashing to the right almost diagonally and then scratches two male cats unexpectedly by ambush. Alarming the other four and three male lions at the far left/perfectly diagonal right at a half , perfect circle.

Nip and Blankey sprint at different directions that seem opposing and comes paw to paw combat at King Tawny. , while Uncle was warming the King of Sundaya up just for the time being. But still , still at it.

Queen Destiny turns left again at her tower and could see to her suprise a female lioness ( randomly ) speaking to her in a caring way. Open to a suggestion along with a worried/panicky , furry look while the other cats at the tower look down on her in deep focus willing to be right by her side. She is a grown , mother lioness who looks so young , just beautiful , as if she never had cubs before or came off pregnant.

Lioness 18 : " Your highness , let's go ! I know an area. "

Queen Destiny : " ... ? "

Queen Destiny doesn't respond as a " yes " becomes her action. Trusting the lioness mom while leaping onto the ledge the Mom recently stood at identing the rest of the ledges high above the tower. , until the final ledge ends in the shape of an unperfect , thick hexagon including one of it's sides on the left oddly sticks out. She truts following behind the lioness Mom along with the cats that once was onto the tower. , on the look out going straight. Missing a half circled turn at the near right.

Balances on a thick , double tree bark with the background of a jungle gym and hits solid , dirt ground landing on all four paws joining Syibeen , Abblie , Mavlie , and Daunnie at the left edge of Queen Destiny's tower as an exit.

Abblie looks at Queen Destiny to the unknown mother in failed recognition. So , she pushes the thought away speaking to Queen Destiny.

Abblie : " What's going on ? "

Queen Destiny : " Kip is fighting other male cats opposing Tawn and his army of cats. "

Mavlie : " Your're not going to back him up ? "

Queen Destiny spoke in a hopeless/unlucky tone sounding hurt to not have anything in mind for the lion she loves at this point.

Queen Destiny : " I caaan't. He doesn't want me to get hurt like the ' last ' thing he'd want from me. "

Mavlie : " It's so amazing to have you back in Sundaya. We missed you. "

She smiles alittle at Mavlie glad to be back in Sundaya. Queen Destiny looks at her gang that is in two's as a square form.

She spoke.

Queen Destiny : " Well , this ' is ' my kingdom and this madness has went on for days because of me leaving. This ends now. "

Igie : " I have to hand it to you Desi , I had no idea Kip is this brave. I knew you loved him. "

Queen Destiny : * blushes red abit * " Let's not have this start as an : " I told you so " .. now. But .. thanks Iggs. " ( nickname )

She continues.

Queen Destiny : " By the way , I know that the animals of Sundaya has evacuated away from here for the time being. But where are the lioness exactly ? "

Not sounding like a question but with more feeling.

Igie : " By King Tawny's territory area. "

Queen Destiny : " Mmh. Okay. Here's the plan : O'don and Syibeen stay with me while Abbs , Igie and Daunnie get ALL of the lioness. "

Every cat nods their furry heads/faces rapidly up and down in understanding the same time Queen Destiny speaks then Mavlie truts at first then skiis catching herself. Because of her sharp claws dug into the dirt ground to avoid the turn ( right ) ahead. , followed by Abblie and Daunnie going straight in direction as a short cut.

Queen Destiny begins to trut quickly while O'don and Syibeen have already made themselves handy. , quickly jetting pass her in a blurry flash then becomes normal being almost and such little steps ahead. Afterwards , the Queen slows down softly gasping for a breather to keep up even if she is in great shape looking down at the dirt , sand colored ground.

O'don and Syibeen sitting a close inch by the surprise den for King Tawny presented by Jobbs and Marisoul ; including Queen Destiny , as the King of Sundaya's choice for her return back in her enormous kingdom of Sundaya. The two male cats look at one another in the light shower rain and not afraid to get their furry paws moist and dirty in a muddy , kiddy pool. Furry facial expressions in worry then truts to Queen Destiny to her left and right. , beginning to stand onto their long or short , furry , hind legs and hold her up abit.

Syibeen and O'don look at the area around them to see if there are any cats whether male or female are following them protectively. Seeing claustrophobic like paths on both sides of Queen Destiny's throne seeming smaller from where they're at. It's baby steps the males cautiously form in action but for Syibeen's path , not seeing a thick , tall but pint sized rock coated like a light , bright piece of chocolate sitting in place. Above the coated ground with a dark color.

When Syibeen and O'don burst forward in speed , he ( Syibeen ) trips over that rock on one of his furry , hind legs while releasing his grip by Queen Destiny's left. , as O'don slowly does the same growing caught off guard. Skiing into the mud off course.

Queen Destiny skis further as Syibeen laid on his long , furry stomach using his right , furry paw to reach for her furry , right paw but she came off too fast missing Syibeen's attempt to help her. O'don ; determined , decides to quickly get up rolling over in the mud then onto his furry , hind legs. Trotting forward to reach the Queen of Sundaya , but then uses evasive maneuvers making a quick turn back because of a frequent crack in the dirt ground both going left and right.

It spreads further , further and further on stopping much later seeming like it's final end. , - even if Queen Destiny who froze at the very center entrance of the den with a dark black background knew it's over doubtfully. Her heart stops ; that quick , thick gulp or like the drop of a thermometer.

She quickly moves back then miaows with her dark/light brown eyes to O'don and Syibeen. , as the den collapses left with all of it's weight below , pass the crack into the dirt ground and down. So far down.

Queen Destiny speaks in a almost desperate yet sad and pleading , low , almost soft tone of voice to O'don and Syibeen. , but more of O'don who is near by.

Queen Destiny : " ... * sound of her heart beat : once * Please help me .. " * light , panicky , deep groan in reaction *

O'don widens his furry , light orange eyes in quick reaction at Queen Destiny. Almost reaching out to her again with his left , furry paw that is almost raised up from behind his furry chest. , then draws it back abit as if shyly.

O'don : ( in some quick panic ) " Oh ! .. your highness ! "

Syibeen's sunshine yellow eyes widen abit in some panic , but more of shock as he blinks at Queen Destiny almost wanting to move forward - impatiently , right away to Queen Destiny. .. If it helps.

Syibeen : ( almost raising his voice ) " Your majesty .. NO ! "

It was like ... after the explosion , the heavy rubble of ship material sinking below into deep blue shades. From baby , glistening , new born blue to sinister dark blue in the black shade water depths.

...

Syibeen and O'don trot - once sure it's safe to do so , pass the crackled outline - now the shape of an open cut , and looks below at the dirt , double walls that become grassy ledges and small den like one by Queen Destiny's home and the den the Queen of Sundaya's in , at first , skiing harsh and roughly between the dirt walls. Now laying at a diagonal/vertical angle on the left , dirt , double wall out of two.

Syibeen and O'don turn ahead still standing letting their deep color eyes of sunshine yellow and light orange as if looking so deep inside in hurt. Seeing that they cannot go after her with little chance of either surviving still showering repeatedly light in enjoyment.

But who could be content when Sundaya has lost it's shine in anger ?

Syibeen roars out to Kip that the Queen is in need of help and now or else she won't be around when the true King of Sundaya is picked. , but King Tawny wasn't chosen like the first King of Sundaya who made it clear on the day of the meeting when young Destiny and Flaunti were cubs.

The only response he receives is silence in the light rain and such rapid pattering of rain following by one entry strong winds. The two , furry males run like retracing their steps or picking up scent trails by furry , lone exhiled cats from their pride. Intruders entering the claustrophobic like path on the left and right sides of Queen Destiny's tower. , looking ahead to see Kip's army , himself and King Tawny and his crew still going paw to paw in hell at one another in the rain rotating about in movement and strategy. And somewhat verality in the rain.

Queen Destiny's pride as well as lovers to the lioness tackle and rough horse play their cat opponents through sounds of miaowing , growling , hissing and snarling under King Tawny's command. Across the furry face in particular to a bloody nose , jaw , hind legs , front paws or possibly wounded.

In battle , it looked like they're retracting by sitting down and getting up quickly going full force ahead. Nip , Blankey and Uncle too ; still continues competing against King Tawny behind other cat lion den backgrounds. Whether hiding offspring to make a trip hunting , single 'n sour , aggressive male lions with a hidden story , family , lounging around , sleeping or otherwise going backwards still carrying the big fight elsewhere.

Syibeen and O'don stand three steps away from one another at the center but not at the left and right , near by the sides of Queen Destiny's throne where two entrances are. Syibeen raises his furry head/face alittle bit higher then roars with his sunshine yellow eyes open. , alarming Kip who is by Flaunti's left side at the far right on overlapping rocks not where Flaunti at a start , but oddly in the popular area of Sundaya along with thick , pond mud on the manes , long tail , nose abit and mostly their manes.

Flaunti receives a white , dashed scratch on his pitch midnight black , healthy nose grinning rudely at the other male cats in front of him. , while Kip's persistent grin changes into a easily distracted one. Widening his deep , dark , neon green eyes while turning his furry head/face to the male lion that called him as his eyes go normal. He spots Syibeen on the left side of Queen Destiny's throne where there is an entrance behind. , who motions his furry head/face to him as if trying to fling it off to the left , encouraging him to go on ahead straight.

And following Kip does. Only the start of a conversation has already begins to make up his mind.

He spoke murmuring to Flaunti on the right where his furry head like Flaunti does too thinking the same thing. You can tell they're best , old friends from the past.

Kip : ( low toned ) " Flaunt , I'll need you to cover for me. "

Flaunti : " Go , go. It's the least I can do for not being there for you during the King competition. "

Kip : " Forget about that. I can handle myself. "

Flaunti : " Well what a coincidence .. I said the same to her ! Man I wish I gave her an : " I told you so " .. "

Kip : " Don't be mean. * chuckles abit softly * Although that's another way to annoy her when we were preteens. Sends her trotting away upset without crying. "

He continues.

Kip : " Back to our matter , some cat happens to love her. And you know exactly who he is. "

Flaunti freezes abit in place as he widens his dark ocean , blue eyes blankly into space thinking about what Kip just said to him. , while Kip sticks the landing after leaping off his rock just when another male lion takes his place. Clawing in defense at Flaunti who automatically returns to reality fighting the unknown male cat back , but a teeny bit dead like not feeling the defense of danger. , but instead so much innocence as if a young cub learning how to play with her Dad for the very first time.

At the thought of him truly loving his eldest sister yet obviously knowing at the exact , same time.

Kip reaches Syibeen and O'don speaking while entering pass them in between like tag teaming. , then creates a backward " S " by him entering further to the exit.

Kip : ( still low toned , yet dangerously serious ) " Now do tell me .. how this all happened. "

Syibeen : " Well .. it all happened so fast , actually ... - "

O'don : " Well I can say this - " * trails off *

While this goes on ,

All of the lioness in Queen Destiny's pride including Abblie , Mavlie , and Daunnie are trotting taking a head start behind enormous tree logs. Probably from the angry , territorial primates at the forest path of " Optimistical hope. " , while holding all of the remaining cubs. Pass the fact that Abblie , Mavlie and Daunnie getting this motherly , strong pretador instincts doing whatever it takes to protect these cubs from pretadors like : hyenas , baboons , or wild dogs.

Other male lions who aren't the father , kill cubs for competition or mostly likely a threat. It is a bond to happen most definitely in the far future rather than soon or later.

Just when ALL lioness have reach the very far right turning quickly. , straight around the open cut gap , a grown , female lioness hits her front , right paw against a rock - with that sound when you hit your toe or foot against a log in frustration for some reason , causing her to groan in pain then slides into mud. Dropping a female cub to the left. , while other lioness ( the rest ) manage to carry their cubs safely at the other side cut outline on the gap.

She spoke just when Kip comes out running laying on her stomach vertically facing ahead not to any cat , but seemingly to her female cub who mews for her help. Stuck in the mud , the heavy , thick , moist mud while shivering quickly as if at the temperature of negative fifteen degrees. In frigid rain.

Lioness 21 : " My baby ! "

Kip : " ... ! "

Kip doesn't respond and begins to keep running already noticing the lioness Mom's call for her cub. , heading straight for a female cub looking so innocent as if she is already there to begin with taking a dirty bath or in a spa mud bath treatment : cub style. He grabs her gently in his jaws at her furry , white , fluffy stomach from out of the mud. , as the enormous log gets closer and closer pushing forcefully by his enormous , green leaves/branches cousin ( another log ) behind it eagerly with fun knowing that nothing could possibly be in their path at all.

He takes cover fully out of the second , double tree log's way skiing alittle while using his claws to stop himself. , like pushing a pedal in the car to avoid running over a red light or a car in general that's in front of him.

Kip trots over to lioness twenty one then lowers his furry head down to ground level releasing the female cub off of it's jaws. , as the female cub clumsily rolls over going into lioness twenty one's front paws. She looks into his deep , dark , neon green eyes about to thank him for his generous action. , but catches his left eye seeing a medium , open shaped cut inside pausing in silence unable to find her words.

It is not her way of judging him .. but , remembering that shy , furry look on his furry face to begin with all along the male lion no cat ever cared about or noticed ever in Sundaya. Kip does the same not responding but only nods his furry head " yes " or in pleasure. , in helping her at the diagonal right at the cut outline of the gap then leaps onto the grassy ledge.

And another , another , another and repeatedly another ledge ending up twisting his left , furry paw to the right. He groans softly in pain the same time ALL lioness Mavlie , Abblie , Daunnie and the lioness Mom moves back more and more while the enormous , twin logs , - the first , fully rolls down horizontal and the second coming last twisting to it's right vertically falling down feeling the weight next.

Kip below ,

stands on a grassy ledge almost at the center but at the right then leaps for the stone wall opening his claws out from his front , furry , right paw. , and begins to slide down leaving a white chalkboard trail. Narrow eyed over his deep , dark , neon green eyes below. , watching his target that is in a den , the love of his life - ever since cubhood , is in. Then he leaps as if going to the left wall but in the center and falls down into water. That begins to slow the den Queen Destiny's in now almost floating but on his two , hind , furry legs.

Kip smiles abit dog paddling straight seeing the gap ending at the very far later right to the water draining out. He approaches the den entrance and turns facing outside then uses his right , furry paw to pull himself up then plops onto the dirt ground entrance.

Queen Destiny at the center of the den who is slowly inhaling and exhaling. , trying to remain calm , looks ahead at the den entrance catching an outline of a rather tall , male lion : Kip colored in pitch black. Knowing who it is , she stands up dead like slowly then performs a walk of jumping a teensy bit and trotting. , then laid onto her long , furry stomach halfway over Kip and the ground. ( including her long , furry , hind legs )

Speaking in a wet and exhaling in relief voice.

Queen Destiny : " K- ..Kip. "

She purrs excitedly abit then stops.

Kip rolls over abit in place facing Queen Destiny then speaks up happily.

Kip : * small smiles * " Sweetheart , y..ou're al..right. "

Queen Destiny : " T-This is .. what you did , is beyond the most bravest and kindhearted actions .. y-you've ever done for me. " * small smiles back at Kip *

Kip : " You deserve a better King. Now let's get you out of here. "

Queen Destiny : " ... ! "

Queen Destiny comes off of Kip speaking in her furry head in thought smiling at Kip when he's not looking her way. , slowly getting up.

Queen Destiny : ( in her furry head ) " I .. I do deserve better .. than Tawn. And my King. Ohhh .. I almost forgot. Maybe .. k- "

Her thought becomes interrupted when Kip groans weakly to himself in pain. , then spoke as he manages to lay onto his furry , long stomach already made attempts to move into that position as it is and not wishing to move again because of his furry , paw injury.

Kip : * groans weakly in pain * " Forget I had a paw injury. * deep , groan and grunt * Bad idea from the start. "

Queen Destiny : * gasps softly alittle in surprise * " Ohhh .. my kinny. How'd this happen Kip ? Which paw ? "

Kip : " Trotting down grassy ledges from above. One of them slippery and wet. ( rather dramatic ) Now I have no feeling in my left paw ! "

Queen Destiny pauses , blinking at him in thought making Kip continue.

Queen Destiny : " ... "

Kip : " W-We don't have much time. How are we going to get out of here ? "

Queen Destiny speaks returning to her normal , deep and soft voice.

Queen Destiny : " I have an idea Kipster. Just hold on. " * small smiles *

...

Then a huge rumble is heard as one of the enormous , twin out of two logs knocks into half of the den on the left as the cats head to the diagonal far right. , while the other four inches ahead laying against the wall in the direction where all lioness are.

Queen Destiny bursts out on the move running onto the first log as the water lowers below still beginning to drain as water still falls from above. Kip uses his front , right paw to hold on at Queen Destiny's furry , long back to the rest of his long , furry body. , rarely taking charge. The Queen of Sundaya now on the grassy , wet ledges.

Ten minutes later ,

Another groan in pain becomes heard having Kip responsible for the call. , as he slowly walks onto his front , right paw to left abit in much struggle. , limping , while Queen Destiny spoke up to him in a low voice right by his left side comforting him in the light rain.

Queen Destiny : " It's okay , come on. Trust your paw. I'm here for you. You're going to be alright. - I know , I know. "

Kip grunts abit softly and pants abit in the background.

Kip : " ... "

Queen Destiny : " , you will. "

Mavlie , Abblie and Daunnie trot in front of Queen Destiny then moves back to give herself and Kip some personal space.

Abblie speaks up to Queen Destiny standing up onto her short , furry , hind legs.

Abblie : " Mm-mhm girl. Thank kinny you're alright. "

Queen Destiny : " ... "

She hugs Queen Destiny pausing while the Queen does the same in silence closing her furry , dark/light brown eyes. Letting her long , sexy eyelashes show in the air batting quickly whenever she blinks.

Abblie releases their hug soon enough just when Igie bursts through into a hug at Queen Destiny. , while speaking high above furry shoulder length opposite as the two , best lioness friends dance alittle still hugging.

Igie : " Destiny's great ! Once again , strong on her hind legs ! * squeaks abit * How goes it home girl ? ! "

Queen Destiny : * laughs abit * " Igi , it's not .. like I was gone forever or died and will never be alive again. - "

Queen Destiny : " I'm alright , as always. As for the rest of us , it doesn't mean this .. in Sundaya is over. "

Kip turns to Queen Destiny looking at her when she isn't just for now. But his action doesn't mean that it was a quick , half of a circle in no start.

He spoke.

Kip : " Desi ? "

Queen Destiny calms down losing her lively/enthusiastic tone in her voice then turns her furry , long body to furry face at Kip. She moves forward from standing onto her long , furry two's to furry fours looking at his furry face into his deep , dark , neon green eyes.

She spoke. , her response coming after a long , hesitative pause.

Queen Destiny : " Yes Kip ? "

Kip : " I have to go again. The battle hasn't come to an end yet. "

Queen Destiny continues to speak in a hurt and heart breaking abit voice.

Queen Destiny : ( low toned ) " You can't. Aren't you forgetting about your paw injury ? Let me go. "

Kip raises his voice alittle bit but it's very obvious to easily take note of.

Kip : ( raises voice abit ) " No ! , ( lowers voice abit ) It was smooth and fine that : " It was I have your back and you have mine " when we were just friends. , "

Kip : " then entering best friends on that day. I've changed how I felt about you. To me , you're mine and I will hurt any cat - if I have to , who wishes to get to you. As if you were my , my - "

He groans again in pain putting his furry head/face down losing eye contact in Queen Destiny's furry , dark/light brown eyes. , while Queen Destiny presses on Kip verbally in hurt. Proving her point , lowering her furry head/face to his.

Queen Destiny : " My what Kip ? Oh ! "

He stays in his position looking like he's freezing in place.

Kip : " my own. "

Queen Destiny : " K..Kip , please .. don't. I .. - "

Kip picks his furry head meeting up with Queen Destiny again furry face to face understanding his love of his life's point of view.

Kip : " Desi .. let me do this. I'm not afraid anymore. I want to be more bold like you , prove other cats wrong .. everything that was said to me ... - "

Queen Destiny's dark black eyebrows go down feeling her used to be male cat best friend to the male cat she loves. Pain letting her dark/light brown eyes shine more than brightly. Not believing what really is happening. , just sensing her dream going splat with a clumsy plop of pitch dark ( black ) ink and vibrating to the sound of a single door slam in front of her furry face.

Kip : " Mmmh. I-I don't know what will go on for me after this ... "

Queen Destiny : " You already have been bold Kip. Naturally. , don't go proving any cat wrong. If they don't see for who ' you ' are the way ' I ' do. "

Kip groans letting it return doubtfully that NO cat will ever notice him ever and that isolation is what's best for him. Letting a light , sand colored form on the solid ground - without the paper , gently rub over the black shade under his paw in a certain area of Sundaya solo thinking it through.

On his first day just friends with Queen Destiny before being a royal advisor not so popular or having so much friends.

Queen Destiny rubs her furry head below his pushing above to encourage him to lift his furry head/face high while speaking half way to finishing her sentence.

Queen Destiny : ( abit softly , low and deep ) " it's ' their ' problem. , not ours. Look at me , look at me. The way I do .. as in me , then you'll also know that you tried .. remember who are and screw the rest. "

Kip : " ... "

Kip looks at Queen Destiny then smiles looking ready to lean in on her but another roar is heard. , still strong winds and extremely light showers in a bright , marigold and lemon yellow mixtured background of a sunset. The male lions by Queen Destiny's tower walk at their own pace in both paths at the left and right sides of the Queen's huge tower. , walking further and further out into the open plains to skinny bouquet designed , grass strands to rocks and to sandy colored , dirt , solid ground.

Now reaching the center after speeding up their walk , King Tawny develops a murderous look of a cub killer all in a grin. , while standing in place. He had a dirty , muddy , and medium blood on the tip strands of his fluffy , soaked/red water colored , orange and goldish mane , deep mud onto his front , furry paws and long , furry , hind legs. Including a big speck of mud like over painted , over the top of a painting tail , a smudge of blood over his light shade , bright black nose , and sad whiskers.

He spoke giving eye contact to Kip a distance away from him at the opposite side still as rain continues to fall.

King Tawny : " You and I both know that you don't belong here .. or deserve to live. "

Queen Destiny buts in trotting forward then stops in place at the same spot King Tawny is at , but at the opposite sides.

She spoke.

Queen Destiny : " NO ! don't ! He's been through enough. He isn't in good condition right now ! "

King Tawny : " You need to stand down .. and aside dawl. * abit narrow eyed * ' You're ' making this difficult than it needs to be. This .. has to end between me and Kippy. "

Kip walks slowly while he grunts in pain every second or time his left , front paw quickly touches the ground and stands above it for a second. Repeatedly approaching a turn to use his left , injured paw having the same feeling. Like such venom from a snake is affecting his muscles and central nervous system.

He meets up with Queen Destiny at her left side narrow eyed over his deep , dark , neon green eyes. Laying his front , left , injured paw over Queen Destiny's right , furry paw. Her dirty and muddy paw , almost like she's trying to say : " That's what he wants you to do. If he gets to your paw ... - ohh. I just don't wish to see you hurt. Don't let me see that. "

Queen Destiny looks at Kip when he's not looking at her then smiles with her dark/light brown eyes and furry eyes only. , only showing two , skinny and medium , almost bushy eyebrows as the first halves of a circle. In bliss , getting a warm and wholehearted touch knowing that herself and Kip are holding paws.

Then King Tawny stops. He puts his furry head/face down and begins to remember the same feeling he had when he reunites with his lioness Mom. , where he least expects it taking place at the pond in the direction of his territory.

He speaks with much wisdom in him and from his heart to Queen Destiny and Kip.

King Tawny : " If you don't want me my furry dear , then I will be the one to leave. "

Kip stays narrow eyed over his deep , dark , neon green eyes still standing onto his long , furry fours except his front , left , furry paw is lifted up abit into the air from behind his hind legs and long , furry chest. That comes off of Queen Destiny's right , furry paw for a moment.

She murmurs cutely almost in silence , but no words .. only but mostly a deep sigh. , wanting to say something back to King Tawny feeling that it doesn't have to be this way as in so cruel , vial , and mean the way it is in the animal kingdom. Infanticide then eat other pretador or animal's young , abandon , forget their family members seeing them as a threat from short term memory loss , or exhiling them so that they can find their own way , the hard way. In all this tough love.

Kip speaks to King Tawny had enough of King Tawny's nonsense he has to put up with - along with Queen Destiny and her pride , including to be responsible for jepardizing most male and female cubs in engaged mother or father's lives. Thank Kinny not the animals in Sundaya. Even poor , lovely , Queen Destiny who has to marry King Tawny like her Uncle : the used to be Guardian of Sundaya's order that MUST be put in action because of herself and Flaunti's real cat father the very first , King of Sundaya.

Kip : " Then what's holding you back ? "

King Tawny : " The cats that I used to know here in Sundaya. ( abit sarcastic ) Most importantly , as if you didn't know. "

Kip roars abit in demand very angrily to King Tawny after plainly looking at Queen Destiny like blankly to see if she is there. , or just there and speaks in lion language as every cat near by could hear and see everything that is happening between the two lions. , with Queen Destiny all in the mix.

This is what Kip said :

Kip : " She's mine ! .. You know exactly what you want from her. We both know it's NOT love. You know it , I know it. I love her. - "

Kip : " You had this kingdom going through enough. "

...

King Tawny looks at Queen Destiny while she does the same into his very light , hazel eyes back to him into her dark/light brown eyes seeing so much sorrow and apology. Fact is , she still saw him as a great friend that accepted her for who she is and one of all cats that are so much alike from her.

Besides , it may seem bad that the outcome of this is that she has to marry King Tawny. , so he can be King permanently all on Uncle , but it was never proven right now that Queen Destiny has her eyes set on Kip. Furthermore , it is absolutely cruel and mean that he treated her - as well as her , like a frienemy in a playful manner that way they can hop down one another's furry throats whenever they see one another.

In return , himself responsible for infanticiding Queen Destiny and Flaunti's young cub cousin : Ant twenty days after the royal , expectational meeting for Sundaya. Least , in the past.

If , yes - that is why Tawny did what he did back then.

King Tawny spoke again having a simple comeback. , but it wasn't as defending and angry as it should've been to Kip mostly and Queen Destiny to hear.

King Tawny : " Be that as it may. Simple to sink in. I am no more .. your King of Sundaya - I give up the throne , but not the love I will always have for you dawl. You especially Kippy. * Queen Destiny and Kip blushes abit red * For now , I will go my own way without any cat. , "

King Tawny : " But I'll be * snarl like * back , ten years later here in Sundaya. So ' don't ' be surprised Kippy and dawl. ' You ' especially dawl. * abit narrow eyed * , he he ... "

King Tawny turns around slowly taking his sweet time. , then walks away further and further from the grassy plains to either sides by Queen Destiny's throne.

Abblie , Mavlie , Daunnie , Syibeen , cubs and lioness twenty one walk and trot. , coming away from the huge gap going to the left. , walking closer to the rest of the cats like Nip , Touphy , Tum , Blankey , Doumphy , lion thirty four , lion thirty two , Flaunti and Uncle.

After coming together , the cats begin to socialize like nothing has ever happened and they're just couples in the rain playing around. , but now in an almost , unperfect ring as if in a game of truth or dare. Kip and Queen Destiny lightly walk together entering the center behind the huge gap split in the ground deeply.

Each cat coming at both sides facing one another to furry face. Queen Destiny decides to speak first.

Queen Destiny : ( normal toned ) " Well , Kip , you and I have been through alot and we're here again in Sundaya. Back to square one. "

Kip : ( normal toned ) * small smiles * " It's great to have a enormous kingdom called home. "

Queen Destiny : " You know , I'm really happy that you were there for me all this time. , "

Queen Destiny : " I always ' knew ' things would get wild. "

Kip : * light chuckles * " But we survived ! "

Queen Destiny : " Yes , I can admit that. Of course. "

Kip's voice starts to get serious , soft and more low toned.

Kip : " Desi , I really love you - well , always have , alot. I'm .. so sorry that I didn't come off lion enough to tell you. What if .. you didn't feel the same way for me ? "

Queen Destiny smiles abit at Kip developing dark/light shade of red that is very noticeable onto both of her furry cheeks. Her dark/light brown eyes smile like she really means it - in which she does , letting her long , furry , fluffy tail lay by her right , widened , furry hip in place onto the dirt ground.

Her smile easily goes into a very still , yet emotionless , small , furry frown at the last thing Kip just said to her in thought. She spoke finding it very impossible but so very touched. , never feeling that this would happen to her. Besides the past. Not that - never really , she's unconfident or has hope in herself , but she fears that no lion would accept her for who she is rather than admiring her furry , beautiful looks instead. Only to just being King without taking part of Queen.

Least one of her many self beliefs.

Queen Destiny : " It's fine Kipster. , I had a strong feeling that you felt this way for me before .. just like in the past when things was very different in Sundaya. - I .. couldn't have not felt the same way for you , otherwise I would've just seen you as a friend instead. , and over the years , you kept on becoming .. ' more ' than that. I had to have fallen in love. " * small smiles then shrugs her shoulders at Kip *

Queen Destiny : ( abit softly ) " Even if you love Iredise as well. "

Kip almost looks down onto the dirt ground blushing abit red at the sound of hearing Irediseatiess's name. His life long , friend for life in Sundaya ever , besides abit of Flaunti who came along the way and herself.

Almost tensing up abit from certain parts of his long , furry body while just remembering of him. And what will he do - how ' will ' he try to explain his feelings towards Irediseatiess and his new thing with Queen Destiny.

Kip : ( abit more softer and low , but Queen Destiny can still hear him ) " Yeah , I .. haven't forgotten at all Desi. I thought about it .. * nervous , small smile * - I .. just don't .. know what to do yet. * lifts his furry head/face to look at her * Can you ever .. forgive me Desi ? "

Queen Destiny : * smiles abit at Kip * " .. ALWAYS Kipster. You're my bud for life in Sundaya. I can NEVER stay mad or hold a grudge on you. You know that. "

Kip : * smiles even more in pure joy * ( almost breath fully ) " Thank you .. Desi , so much. .. And yeah , I do know that. I'll NEVER .. forget that. "

..

Queen Destiny : " Kip , * Kip leans his furry head/face to her cocking his furry head/face at her in curiosity , waiting for her to say something * do you really .. love me alot as you say you do ? "

Kip blinks at her abit without saying anything. Surprised she'd ask that question again when it's soo obvious. If so , wait .. is it ?

Kip : " Yess ! * happy , warm smile * , so much more that Tawny does. , and Tawny will ' ever. ' "

Queen Destiny squeals in exaggeration while trotting in place like a dog catching it's tail. , then speaks again to Kip repeating herself again. Now standing on her long , furry , hind legs to stretching out her long , furry back.

Queen Destiny : " Would you ' still ' love me if I put on weight ? "

Kip : * laughs * " Pretty much. Yeah. I'll love you forever. "

Queen Destiny stops and walks up closer and closer to Kip. , purring , rubs against him affectionately with her dark/light brown , furry eyes closed in enjoyment. Having Kip to raise his furry head/face high doing to the same thing to Queen Destiny into a very passionate kiss.

Afterwards , she leans beside him taking half of his furry , long body to the right facing him at the left as he comes furry face to face to her.

She speaks to Kip again looking into his deep , dark , neon green eyes seeing so much kind heartedness that will show itself no matter what. Yes , that is the word that best describes his personality and himself put together. Kind hearted.

Queen Destiny : ( normal , deep , low , but very soft toned ) " I love you .. so much , too Kip. " * small smiles at Kip *

With the lioness mother's ,

the cub fathers come trotting while some cautiously approach. , not only waiting for a call in recognition - same going for cubs , but unfinished business must've went on earlier. The trotting cub fathers enter with their female cat lovers giving kisses , hugs , playful tackles and long , hypnotizing , furry stares of love. Other lovers - male cats as fathers , let their cat lick them in absolute care away the blood , mud , grim , grass , rain and dirt while laying beside each other onto the dirt ground in light rain. , now getting dark.

That dark shade of blue similar to it's cousin navy blue appears in the open , carefree sky indicating it's the evening very common/often in Sundaya.

There were other cat couples all around the open plains much like Queen Destiny's pride. , continuing to socialize in conversations that could easily tell their emotions going from either male or female. , whoever in the couple that decides to talk. Like :

Lioness : ( rather feminine and abit raised voice ) " Oh thank Kinny you're alright ! "

Lioness : ( abit deep and feminine yet angrily worried sick - almost sick ) " Where have you been ? ! "

Lion : ( rather deep toned ) " I'm alright dear. "

Lion : ( more deep toned and low ) " The battle is over. It was for Sundaya. "

Lioness : ( abit raised , feminine , and low toned ) " You fought ? ! "

Lioness : ( abit worried and feminine ) " Where are the cubs ? "

Lion : ( so very deep , smooth and low ) " They're miles away hidden in our den. "

Lion : ( deep ) " There's no need to worry. It's you that I'm concerned of. "

Lion : ( abit deep ) " You know I love you. "

Lioness : ( abit feminine ) " I'm NOT .. falling for that this time. "

Lioness : ( abit deep and somewhat feminine ) " Don't give me that look ... "

Lioness : ( abit loud and feminine , almost annoying ) " Awwww ! "

Lioness : ( feminine , soft , concerned , and low toned ) " Are you broken ? "

Lioness : ( smooth , feminine , and low toned ) " Really ? "

Then cub two , three and one .. the little hairballs that gave Touphy and Tum a hard time back at the posidome , face their lioness mom twenty three after nestling besides one another by Mom's strong hind legs and paws. , a short distance back when a huge gap slowly creates it's disastrous crack that demolishes everything including landing and living in it's path both left and right.

Each one spoke in excitement loud enough for Queen Destiny and Kip to hear in their furry ears getting their attention.

Cub 3 : ( female ) " Hey Mom ! Mom ! can we play down there ? "

Cub 1 : " Playtime ! , playtime , playtime ! "

Cub 2 : " Please ? huh ? come on ! "

Queen Destiny loses eye contact from Kip then turns to the three cubs that look so familiar that were at the King competition. , to the ones that sadly do not go anywhere due to other cubs that don't make it alive in lion society. Or simply - without protection , their father isn't around them anymore.

The lioness Mom , twenty three develops a gentle , laidback look onto her furry face with a small curve , black line replacing her lips. She looks calm , strong , protective , sweet , and tough. She is the one who cuts slack off of her cubs most of the time that repeatedly get in some , much circumstances in the past. Including the one who will do everything she can - with so much power , to make their generation from their male , grown cat father the best there is. " Long may they reign. "

She spoke.

Lioness 23 : " Okay , okay. Alright now. You can. If only your father was here , he'd be fine with it. "

Cub 1 : " Oh that's already taken care of. "

Cub 2 : " He's here ! , he's - "

Before she could finish he/she sentence , cub three puts her furry paw over cub two's furry mouth while sitting upright.

Lioness twenty three alarmingly looks up around her surroundings as if she could've sworn she heard the call of a hyena - whether male or female , in clan. , that is returning once again for something that doesn't belong to he/she. , just ready to scoop her cubs into her furry mouth to a new lion den. What lioness mom's are known for doing in lion society.

Now , lioness twenty three .. a missing mother that has finally returned from her hunt that was very successful. So successful that if she was very tired , she could lay her exaggerated , saggy , out of shape , furry stomach onto the dirt , solid ground. A kill that must've been that large for the family with the help of a gang of other lioness Mom's from Queen Destiny's pride.

She rotates only her front paws then looks further ahead seeing a grown , male lion who looks like he has stepped out of an exit. , giving all a feeling of relief letting other cats gossip to him nothing but really good characteristics. He has bright , lime green eyes , hind legs , front paws , medium , furry tail bright gold for looking like it was combed , lime and yellow streaked mane , pitch black nose , white , long whiskers and claws.

He is by the second log at the very far , further right looking so magnificent as ever. , from bushy , grown , darkening streaks mane to as if a wise looking king with the intense focus in his bright/light , lime green eyes.

Lioness twenty three begins to walk quickly replacing every hind leg and front paw in her same , previous steps as a tip when hunting to avoid not making any noise.

She keeps her strong built , furry neck up high in pride and confidence , but cautiously comes closer and closer to the grown cat she truly does know looking into his eyes while he does the same. Her action is to search for a sign in recognition that he knows that it really is her without so much as a call. He looks like he did not want her to come closer because she could just be another typical , grown , female cat just wanting to mate. , lightly sprinkling on shown urine all around the male lion as he grimaces into space passively picking up chemical scents. Able to tell if this lioness would be in heat or not.

Can I say : " Ew ? " or " show me more ? " or " litter box please ? "

Her lover grins at her blissfully like he wants to laugh while her hind legs ( one of them ) limps abit remembering her log injury. , when returning back into the open , grassy and dirty , open plains after dropping her female cub. She lightly groans in pain not much of a crybaby like Kip ( Well , it really did twist in a way it's not suppose to ) still managing to come to her lover meeting furry face to face.

Her husband or lover becomes the first to speak up in a voice of high maturity.

Lion 14 : " My sweet , am I hallucinating or this could really be you ... "

Lioness 23 : " What do you think my big boy ? "

Lion fourteen smiles at his wife easily catching her humor then moves closer to her feeling very relaxed and comfortable. He pauses once again looking down on her from left to right with a skinny , black line replacing his furry lips. Showing that he's content seeing his wife. Looking so powerful like she has done this for months or pulling through tough times , dealing with life choices.

He spoke again.

Lion 14 : " How is everything ? "

Lioness 23 : " It's alright. "

Lion 14 : " My dear , the Queen. "

His wife moves back like a car parking coming by her husband at the left. , looking ahead to see Queen Destiny slowly approaching the married couple. Along with Kip who lightly grunts rarely , but sounding as if everything hurts three , milli inches behind the love of his life.

Lion twenty three keeps her look on her furry face acting as if she said something out of turn. , like a innocent cub or so much like a innocent cub. Looking at her husband to the teenage lion almost King of Sundaya that saved the female cub. , who sat two inches behind her mother's front paws to dingy , dry mud , furry fur head to toe and a speck of mud on her light , black shade nose.

She knew what she has done looking down at the dirt ground shyly. , just doubtfully knowing that she'll receive a furry , firm smack across her furry face even if it is her mother who dropped her accidentally. See , her father is strict and takes his cubs circumstances very seriously. , no matter how dreadful or not a big deal. Protective and caring for his young they'll toughen up in order to survive in the future.

Lion fourteen speaks up first.

Lion 14 : " Good evening , your majesty. How do you do ? "

Queen Destiny : " Well , after getting to the bottom of such madness in Sundaya .. I can still mention that it truly is a good one. " * small smiles *

Queen Destiny : " And - for now , I am well .. thank you for asking. "

Lion 14 : " You're welcome. "

Lion twenty three sits upright straightening her furry back abit bringing her furry tail almost to where her female cub is. Her tail went to sleep.

She spoke.

Lion 23 : " This wouldn't happen to be this unnoticed lion , ignored or cared for around here in Sundaya .. now is it ? "

Kip gets narrow eyed abit above his deep , dark , neon green eyes at what lioness twenty three just said to him. Then speaks low to Queen Destiny while lion fourteen ( father ) and lioness twenty twenty three ( mother ) both happily already looked down on their daughter. , who is already looking back up at them giggling after getting this staring game/contest her parents are now playing with her. Then she mews seeming like she's been caught blinking by her father who laughs heartily while defending herself.

Kip sounds like he has some attitude feeling insulted.

Kip : " What'd she just say to me ? "

Queen Destiny murmurs back to her lover while putting her left , furry paw over Kip's right , furry paw calming him down. , still holding position.

Queen Destiny : ( low toned , soft , and deep ) " Now , now Kipster .. let it go , it's okay. "

Kip : " ... " * low growls for the married couple to not hear *

Hearing Kip lift his furry head/face into the air , closing his deep , dark , neon green eyes to inhaul and exhale. Letting little tension , his annoyance , and small anger in the background.

Turning her furry head/face to the couple who just stops laughing little by little settling themselves down. And Kip stops inhaling and exhaling from calming himself down.

Lioness twenty three begins to speak up.

Lioness 23 : " Your brave majesty , your friend or lover I'll assume .. has saved our daughter here while you were in need of rescue. "

Queen Destiny spoke looking from the mom to the father in shock who eyes Kip intensely. Listening close then down at his daughter to Kip who looks at Queen Destiny and smiles abit nervously at her , showing off his teeth to her.

Queen Destiny : " Really now ? "

Lioness 23 : " Absolutely. His action was amazing. I was so astounded that I just had to tell you. You must hear about it I feel .. if it's no bother. "

Queen Destiny : " Of course not ma'am. It is no trouble at all. "

Kip : " It was nothing really. I just couldn't stand there and let it happen. "

Lion 14 : " Hmm. By hearing my wife's point of view , it couldn't be like nothing young one. "

Lion 14 : " Moreover , I am happy she's alright. "

Kip smiles abit at the lioness mother. Relieved to hear how truly happy she is for her daughter being alive now.

Queen Destiny : " Oh Kinny bless. Your daughter is adorable and beautiful. " * little laughs abit *

Lioness 23 : * laughs * " Thank you your highness. If it wasn't for your lover , all we'd have left are the other three. "

Queen Destiny : " I've heard about your disappearance many days before not that it is my business. I can see what you're going through. "

Queen Destiny : " I've let your cubs join the " Kings ; only kings " competition understanding that the three cubs didn't have anything to do. For there are pretadors who adore helpless and toothless fluffy , little cubs. They must've escaped out of the den. "

Lion 14 : " I assure you your highness. "

Lioness 23 : " You don't see that everyday. "

All the cats : * laughs *

Lion 14 : " Trust us , that is no surprise to us. They have always done that for quite awhile taking advantage of it .. caused by our missing presence. "

Queen Destiny spoke sounding meaningful.

Queen Destiny : " Oh , I see. "

Lioness 23 : " I'm here to thank you so much for your lover's help. It was me who accidentally have dropped her. By then , I hit my paw against a log while escaping two , enormous logs chasing other mother's , going into that gigantic gap. "

Lion 14 : " Mm-hmm. Accidents will happen. That's the worst thing that you could want. Are you alright ? , which paw ? "

Lioness 23 : " Not really. It still hurts. My right paw. Looking onto it , it was a rock I hit against like the sound of an echoing log. "

Kip : " That's a coincidence. I twisted my left paw while saving the love of my life. "

Queen Destiny blushes red.

Queen Destiny : " ... "

Lioness 23 : " Awwwww ! "

Lion 14 : " Way to be kiddo. She is very beautiful. "

Queen Destiny : " I know .. but thank you. " * small smiles *

Lion 14 : " Always welcome .. your majesty and highness. " * nods of head once in agreement *

Lioness 23 : " I must say you both look adorable together. Such true love. "

Lion 14 : " You're a very lucky one. Treat her right. Marriage is hard since you both are reaching almost to that age. "

Kip : " I will. "

Queen Destiny : " You both make it look so easy. "

Lioness 23 : " That's what many other cats told us. You just go with the flow ,- "

Lion fourteen comes in finishing his wife's sentence.

Lion 14 : " and the rest will follow along. "

Lioness 23 : " If that doesn't work , just hold on and expect things will settle down and be easier. "

Queen Destiny : " Nice strategy. "

Lioness 23 : " Thank you. Hon , would you mind excusing us for a moment ? "

Lion 14 : " But of course. I'll let the cubs below to play. "

Lioness 23 : " Don't forget your brother ! "

Lion 14 : " Ooh , you're right. "

He stands up on all fours and then roars like a tiger would when hunting then slowly turns and trots to the cubs. He walks diagonal speeding onto the log while the cubs slip inside the log going into a fun ride down into a short cut reaching solid ground.

The cubs laugh and speak letting their voices echo inside the gap. , as Dad hops onto a grass ledge three inches from the solid ground watching his cubs and smiles.

Cub 1 : " Whoa ! , that was awesome ! "

Cub 3 : " Let's go again ! , let's go again ! "

Cub 2 : " Come on Dad ! "

Their Dad smiles then expertly hops off of the grassy ledge and begins to chase his cubs playfully. Already understanding what'll happen next while all speaking at once in excitement.

Cub 1 : " Dad's it ! "

Cub 3 : " Go ! , go ! , go ! "

Cub 2 : * laughs *

His brother spoke looking at his big brother's daughter who is in the gap below while Kip , Queen Destiny , and lioness twenty three's attention goes to the little , subdued , female that is Mom's little cub.

His brother's voice in a soothing tone.

Lion 53 : " Come on girl. "

The little cub stands up on all four paws all messy then moves up. Then she quickly changes her mind moving back under her mother's furry head looking up at her as she performs the exact , same action but looking below into her eyes. She begins to mew just the same moment when Queen Destiny begins to moan abit softly understanding the little , female cub's wise decision.

Kip looks at Queen Destiny then smiles. It's like the little , female cub is trying to say : " Please don't give me away to play with him. I don't know him. "

Lioness twenty three looks at Queen Destiny already adding onto what she said previously.

Lion 23 : " You got that right your highness. She is shy. "

Lion 53 : " Come on little one. I'm your father's brother. I will lead you to him along with your furry , little siblings. "

The little , female cub mews to her mother as she obeys lowering her furry head to her daughter's. , as she licks her as a kiss then trots quickly very clumsy like - because of being born so chubby , then walks with lion fifty three.

Lion 23 , Kip , and Queen Destiny : * laughs *

Afterwards ,

An individual lioness mom trots quickly to the second log on the right walking onto the log. , along with her five cubs that go in a line joining happily. Male lion fathers go around the gap to the other side hopping down grass ledges after another. , while other cubs ride inside one out of two , double log ( the second ) and coming out where half of it's bark is missing landing onto solid , damp ground .. the water from the rain.

Abblie , Daunnie , Mavlie , Syibeen and O'don look below into the gap and watch other cat families having a merry , old time trotting about or getting their fur wet or tackling each other while Dad gets .. - always wins two steps ahead. Other cat couples lounging around at the far other side of the den laying romantically by their husbands. , including grown , mother cats surrounded beside each other collaborating in order to get their cubs to receive enough milk. A little , typical nursery.

Nip , Blankey , Touphy and Tum get in a ring out of the gap having a chat while Flaunti and Uncle lay by one another. Leaning on rocks meditating as their stomachs inhale and exhale.

Lioness twenty three spoke up.

Lioness 23 : " You know ; your highness , your lover could definitely be a splendid King. "

Queen Destiny spoke as she turns her furry head/face to look at Kip then smiles abit.

Queen Destiny : " Wow. .. I said the same thing. Well , adding onto this .. I believe he ' is ' a King. My King , of Sundaya. "

Lioness twenty three smiles at the two cat lovers then looks elsewhere focusing on something then quickly looks at the unknown , attractive male cat in surprise.

Kip widens his deep , dark , neon green eyes next in space for a moment before when the lioness mother spoke. , then at the love of his life who smiles at him abit looking into his eyes. It's like she is saying : " Like you didn't know. You should not be surprised. This was established. "

Next , he stands up and walks to the right side of the gap. , getting a perfect view of all cats that are by the gap on the grassy , solid ground left to the pride below at the right.

Lioness mom in nursery look up at the unknown male cats with relaxed looks onto their furry face while the cubs feed in deep sleep. Quickly , the attention rises above in the gap to married cat couples , cubs who play freeze tag in place , solitude like male lions lounging around , to the gang , and finally Flaunti and Uncle. He stands on all furry , long fours letting his injured left lift in mid air somewhat in place. He smiles bit.

Kip : " ... ? ! "

....
