((Well I promised it, now here it is. ; ) ))
The morning was calm, the lions and lioness were all inside the den. Snoozing peacefully together, many of the lionesses were crowded together, and some laying over top of another from the dreams they had and it seemed none of the rest really cared about it either. A calm zephyr blew into the main entrance of the den. And it awoke Kovu for he had decided to sleep near the entrance ahead of the Pride to defend them of anything that would come near the entrance. Once the breeze had hit his warm fur, it sent a chill down his spine and it caused him to gasp awakening from his slumber.
He looked about him with sleepy eyes, and groggily stood up, taking a huge breath of air and letting it all out with a tremendous yawn which turned into a small growl. He stretched out his hind legs and extended his full body length by a good foot or so. And did the same with his front paws. Finally he shook his entire body, awakening the last of the sleeping and tired muscles inside of him. He walked slowly out of the den and was greeted by the warmth of the rising sun in the sapphire sky above, the sun was directly in front of him and casted huge shadows upon any object that was in the Pride Lands. He walked up the course of Pride Rock and came to stand at the Promotory and started to survey the lands before him, everything looked calm and well.
"Just another peaceful morning.." he said softly to himself and smiled vagely as he saw a herd of Antelope already on the move and going to there natural feeding grounds. Then laughed at the thought of Simba's lionesses hunting for the Antelopes in no time at all. And soon he felt the need for food.. Perhaps he would join them... Or maybe he wouldn't.. It all depended on what was to happen in the next few hours.
