You could be a very good lion Damon, if you choose to be.." kopa said "Now go back to sleep, its too early for you to be up anyway. Kids are supposed to be able to sleep as much as they want..

Kovu was still sleeping. He was the type of lion who liked rest. Kopa and Damon's conversation didn't stir him.

" I'm an Early Riser Kopa, always have been. If i get tired later I'll take a nap, but I'm wide awake now he said as he started to exit the den. "I'm going to get breakfest and I'm feeling like grubs, oh and Kopa, Make sure Makaila is never told what I told you, Leo killed her Parents." He said as he headed out to go grub hunting. He loved them, easy to catch, good source of protein.

She will have to be told at some point Damon, or she'll find out for herself" Kopa shook his head. ' Yiou can't hide something like that away forever, no matter how hard you try.. it has a way of coming out.."

Rocky · **Reply #244 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:44:38 PM

"Later, I'd rather she doesn't find out now Kopa. When we're older, I'll tell her myself, so promise you'll do your best to keep it from her." He said as he left to scavenge for food. Most cubs would eat what they were brought, Damon preferred to be self reliant, carry his own weight early so he'd be better once he was older. He found a great meal. He killed a porcupine. It was tricky but do able, after picking the quills out, and getting a few stuck in his paw, but not too deep, just under the skin, Damon ate it. Damon saved some meat for Mikaila, and only had a few nibbles. So when Damon found some grubs, he was plenty hungry, he threw the Porcupine's body on his back and returned to pride rock, his..home. yeah that had a nice ring to it. He arrived just as Makaila was starting to wake up, Damon quickly put the food in front of her. "Damon what's this?" The lioness cub asked. "My way of saying I'm sorry for being such a jerk, I was letting my personal problems have too much power over me, it's time I stopped worrying about the past and enjoy life, it's all yours so dig in." He said as Makaila blinked before eating the porcupine. " Ummm, this is good, what is it?" She asked. "Porcupine, killed it my self." Damon answered with a proud smile as Makaila sat in awe at her friend's accomplishment.

Kiara and Kovu were the next to awake.

Kiara had subtely listened in on Damon's conversation with Kopa. "Hopefully he'll finally calm down..." she sighed.

"Yeah," Kovu nodded in agreement.

Simba was the next to wake up. He stretched as he headed out of the cave, and saw his son looking out over the kingfom. ' Up already/ he yawned.. " Force of habit. Nuteri always had me up by sunrise, if it wasn't to train my relexes, work on my strength and stamanina, it was to contemplate things and my place in all of them. so for one reason or another, i was always up this early.."
_ Nuteri worked you hard then. i wasn't really trained at all growing up , as you know. I let life go on without a care in the world, well, until your mother happened to run into me. lucky for you that she did." simba said ' so what have I missed? ' well Damon confided some things in me, that he asked to keep quiet from makaila.. he says his father was Scars son.. "
Scar never had any kids.. otherwise he never would have chosen Kovu as his heir. When a king has cubs, they inherit from him, well the elder one does if there is more than one. " simba said ' thats why my father inherited the throne and Scar was the spare. ' Simba said Kopa nodded and continued."Anyway he says Scar disowned him and forbade anyone to mention him. Leo- Thats his name- happens to be a cannibal.. Simbas eyes grew wide in horror. ' so the son was even more twisted than the father, and i didn't think that was possible..

So when does Zazu arrive in the mornings/ Kopa asked. For his daily report? it shouldn't be long.. he always comes early in the mornings tio keep me up to date. the last few weeks have rather, strenous.. you see there a pait of nesting birds in a tree in the middle of the kingdom. their family has nested there for generations, passed down from mother to daughter. both birds want the nest, but by family tradition, only one can have it.Well both the birds are female, one is nice respectful and quiet, the other is brash, loud and arrogant. I've been trying to find a solution to the problem for weeks. but the elder one won';t accept anything that forces her to move, as i prefer the younger bird have the nest..if zazu reports that they are still a problem, i may just climb up there and rip the nest in half and tell them to pick a half.."
_ Do its the older bird who's a pain in the tail.." Kopa sighed.. " Yes, you'll have to deal with situations like this yourself in a few years..
_
having a dather-son moment' Nala said coming up to them. ' not really dear, just relling him about the problemns I've been having with those birds.. "Simba replied. Nala rolled her eyes and sighed. " that bird complaimns about everything! The size of the nest, the height of the branch, the amount of sun the nest gets..and keeps blabbing about her familys traditions! my familys always done this and that..arghh.. if she doesn't stop complaining very soon, i'm probably just going to have to eat her, just to put a stop to it.. the younger bird deserves the nest, shes a very nice young bird, almost always says hello to me when i'm passing by..

Damon smiled as he and Makaila walked into Simba resoling the bird thing. Damon kind of got the Picture that two birds wanted the same nest. Then he got an Idea. "Excuse me King Simba, but I have an Idea." Damon said, giving a proper bow. " How about decree the nest be torn in half, and should one bird decide they'd rather leave then have the nest destroyed, then that bird gets the nest?"The cub asked. "Yeah." Makaila agreed. "wouldn't that be better?" She asked Simba, bowing alongside Damon.

Nick22 · **Reply #249 on:** September 22, 2011, 03:57:32 PM

Thats one possible answer. why don;'t we have Kiara and Kovu add thier thoughts on the matter? Kopa replied.. ' another option is forcing the older bird out and having her build a new nest at another spot on the tree..and letting the younger bird keep the old one..

tempestwheel · **Reply #250 on:** September 22, 2011, 11:06:25 PM

"What's the situation we are dealing with?" Kiara asked with a smile.

"Maybe we could try to create a replica nest," Kovu suggested.

Nick22 · **Reply #251 on:** September 22, 2011, 11:47:34 PM

Well, heres the problem. theres a pair of female birds fighting over whgo gets thier family nest in a tree. the nest has been there for generations, and by tradition, only one of the birds (who are both female) get it. the older bird has been constantly complaining, disrespectful and difficult to deal with. the younger bird has been quiet, respectful and willing to move out if asked. so its pretty obvious which bird should get it, how to get that into place, has been the issue..' Simba said.. " the older bird simply refuses to budge...and so we've been deadlocked like that for about 3 weeks now.."

tempestwheel · **Reply #252 on:** September 23, 2011, 12:51:12 AM

"Well, we're lions," Vitani said, walking up to Simba, "Couldn't we intimidate the jerky bird away."

"That could work," Kovu smiled.

Rocky · **Reply #253 on:** September 23, 2011, 02:29:07 AM

" We can't do that Mom, that's mean." Makaila said, rubbing her adopted Mother's side. "Yeah, Makaila's right, what kind of great king would do that, oh wait I know, Scar." Damon said.

Nick22 · **Reply #254 on:** September 23, 2011, 09:03:20 AM

Scar wasn't a great king' Kopa said getting up and moving from his spor.. " He was a horrible king. he ran this kingdom into the ground, and was willing to let everyone in it starve.. And Zira would probably have been worse had her plan of regicide been sucessful. No king or queen can ever be considered "great' after murdering the kingdom's rightful ruler."
_
Normaly only the king deals with these issues ' Nala said to the cubs. ' and does not ask for help unless he is completely stuck. so don';t presume the king will be asking for your imput regularly, damon and makaila. make this count, kids..' she added.

Rocky · **Reply #255 on:** September 24, 2011, 07:36:44 PM

"Yes Nala." The two cubs said. Makaila still thought it was wrong to force anyone to leave, if the younger bird was willing to move out, why not let her. "Simba, you told us the oldest child of the king becomes his successor, is their family Tradition the same?" Makaila asked as she rubbed the Kings leg. "You already said the younger bird is willing to move out, so why not do that?" She asked Simba.

Nick22 · **Reply #256 on:** September 24, 2011, 11:50:07 PM

in this family of birds, only one of the birds can live in the nest, and the younger one is the one we'f rather have in the nest. Shes been far more respectful helpful and willing to do her part in this than her older sibling. it is the older bird who is in the wrong here. and it is not as if this is a new problem, i have spent weeks on this matter and to be brutally honest I am beyond tired of it. at this point, i will probably be forced to use force in this matter, and force the older bird out..

Rocky · **Reply #257 on:** September 26, 2011, 02:36:58 PM

" Well isn't that unfair?" Makaila asked. " What if the Bird Family's tradition already has something to decide who gets the Nest?" She asked Simba. " What if their tadition says the older bird gets the nest." Makila asked he king. "Or Maybe they could change the tradition if the nest is big enough for two birds." She offered with a smile. Makaila was trying to propose alternitives to being mean by forcing one bird out.

Nick22 · **Reply #258 on:** September 26, 2011, 04:37:19 PM

tradition is usually very important Makaila' Simba replied. 'the family tradition, says nothing about who gets the nest, only that if two birds live in the nest at the same time, that only one may possess it, the other has to leave. the older one, in this case has proven herself unfit to get the nest by her conduct in this matter. simply being the older one, in this case, does not guarantee that they will get the nest, conduct plays a role as well..and her conduct has been horrible and extremely disrespectful. because of the family tradition, someone has to leave..it is not about being mean, my dear, but rather because tradition gives no alternative. as for changing the tradition, the elder bird has rejected that option, when I brought that up, she angrily said no.The nest, also, is too small for two birds to share comfortably..so, the truth is, there is no choice here. one bird must leave the nest, to go elsewhere in the tree.and i will insist that it be the older bird , who has been such an annoyance through this matter.

Rocky · **Reply #259 on:** September 27, 2011, 05:42:08 PM

" Can't the nest be made bigger?" Makaila asked, hoping to pitch one last alternative to forcing one bird to leave. " I'm sure the birds will concent to that." She said with a hopeful smile.
