*Hey! That's Muko! You trot towards the young prince and tell him that you've heard quite a
lot about him. To your surprise, he just smiles politely and nods, barely saying anything. When he
speaks, his voice is deep and gentle, like honey to your ears. He soon excuses himself and leaves to be in his solitude. You can't even feel bad about it, he's so frickin' handsome!*
*You glance at the young prince, who looks at you with a calm, yet somehow curious expression.
His ears twitch when he gives you a gentle smile.
Then suddenly he trots off, seemingly deep in thought.
Despite being polite, he doesn't seem much for a conversation. Oh well.*
*You step forward to greet the young prince, when you feel a great dread loom over him...
Something's not right. Muko looks right through you with a disturbing smirk.
You feel uneasy and decide to leave.*
*The other lionesses have started to notice it too... Something's wrong with the prince,
no, the king. He still stays in his solitude most of the day, but when he steps out,
he holds his chin up with an insolent and - quite frankly - disturbing smirk.
Your pride doesn't like it at all, but no one dares to say anything.*
*It's getting real bad. You stay awake until the clouds make way to the bright full moon.
The lionesses around you exchange worried glances and whispers.
"What's wrong with the prince?" says one. "Will he hurt our cubs?" panics the other.
Before the panic arises and their voices become too loud, you manage to calm the group down.
Everything's alright. You will talk with the prince. Surely, you can bring him back from this- whatever it is.
You let out a deep sigh and are on your way.*
*You find the prince in his cave. He sit's in the corner, his posture down, completely zoned out.
You ignore the fear in your throat and step forward. "Muko", you say softly, voice filled with worry.
"This isn't the young prince we all once knew. What's wrong?"
Eerie silence fills the cave as you wait patiently.
"It's King Muko to you!", the king snarls and turns around to face you, eyes filled with fury and- maybe.... Desperation?
You jump back but force yourself to stand your ground. You lift your chin proudly as you tell him:
"The lionesses are worried. They are worried about you, and what harm you may cause our cubs."
You force the last sentence out of your mouth, thinking about your own cubs.
Again, the is an eerie silence until the king responds. "I have no cubs", he hisses.
"The cubs may live, but I shall not recognize them as my own. I never asked for this.
Never asked to be king. Yet I tried and look what came of me!"
He throws his head back, raising his voice to a mighty roar.
"I am better now! The greatest king! The mightiest!
I will not take any concerns from a common lioness, no matter how great of a hunter you are!"
Your jaw drops and finally, cold, freezing fear makes it's way through your veins.
You are unable to shape the words in your mind, and you don't have to, because after a few shaky breaths, Muko starts talking again.
"I understand that Stroom was a gentle and soft king", he says quietly.
You feel like there's grief in his voice. He takes a deep breaths and stands up,
now staring at you with a determined expression. "However, I have seen what the world can be like.
I can't afford to be soft. It is my duty to protect this land. It is my duty to protect you and your cubs. And I shall do that - but my own way."
You stand there for a moment, then decide to take a few steps back.
"If you say so, King Muko" you whisper sadly, starting to make your way out.
"Tell the other lionesses that all the cubs that are my blood are safe here,
even though I will not recognize them as my own", he says before you step out.
You nod quietly and leave. There's no helping him now.*
