Not even a week had gone by since Kiara practically brought all those new lionesses over from Zira’s side with just her words. It was a little overwhelming to live with so many new faces, faces that had previously wanted to remove her face in battle. Not that she blamed them. It was hardly personal, and the one with the grudge was the now deceased Zira.
But with all that room taken up inside the cave, Zuri needed extra time to herself. In the middle of a cool and breezy night, she left Pride Rock for a drink. When she arrived at a nearby stream, she was met with a sight she never expected. Across the water was a white furred, pregnant lioness lapping up the water. Well, either that, or she’d just eaten a nice bounty. That’s when Zuri remembered stories from her childhood. Nala, Rafiki, and others told of a beautiful white lioness who has lived for hundreds of years who helps any and all manner of creature that needs it from her, who protects the Pridelands against anything the kings and queens can’t deal with, but the caveat is that because it apparently never happen, she stays underground and hidden. Zuri had heard so many things about this lioness that were all coming to the surface. That she can make herself look like anything to blend in, that she can speak to the dead, that any lioness who looks upon her would be blessed with many healthy cubs. She didn’t think this mystical lion could possibly exist, but here she was now, and Zuri could feel the power emanating off of her.
Before Zuri could utter a word, the lioness looked up with her glowing blue eyes and raised her head, smiling.
“Wonderful night for a walk, isn’t it? I’m glad I’m not the only one of my kind who agrees. But something tells me you’re not out here just for the scenery...I sense there’s something troubling you, Zuri.”
”How do you know my name? Are you….are you the Ghost of the Pridelands?..” Zuri answered back immediately, finding her words.
The lioness smiled. “Mimba will do, but yes. Let’s just say that I keep a close watch over things around here. Guard you all against those you cannot fend off yourselves. I make sure to know all who are both in these lands. I’m sure you must have lots of questions, dear.” To this, Zuri nodded.
“A few…wow…well, for starters, is it true that any lioness who sees you out will be blessed with cubs?” Zuri asked with a tilt of her head. This made the white lioness chuckle. a smirk spread across her face.
”Well, since you brought it up, sine blessings could be in order. Would you like them now, or would you like to wait until you meet the right guy?”
At this reply, Zuri felt her cheeks warm up. She wondered, what did she just get herself into?…
TO BE CONTINUED?…
