Dreams' World, Unconscious of Mufasa, notion of time does not exist.
Dreams' World, a non-material place where our protagonist now called Mufasa is now.
An infinite space with a beautiful blue sky with white clouds, a floor made of crystalline water that reflects this sky in the same proportions.
This place gives the feeling that he is standing floating in infinity, because it becomes difficult to distinguish where the sky is and where the ground is.
Surprised Mufasa wonders if this was one of those so-called lucid dreams. Since he feels like this place is real, despite its fanciful appearance.
He never dreamed of something like that, nor did he see a place that gave this vibration. So if not in a dream, where would he be?
It was a mystical and peaceful place indeed.
So, while absently marveling at this beautiful setting, Mufasa hears the same melodious and beautiful voice, which he once heard, right behind him.
"My baby, my treasure ...."
Surprised, Mufasa with expectations quickly turns to see who is calling him.
Unfortunately there was no one there. When he turned around, all he saw was the same endless blue sky. But he knew that someone called him ... he was not crazy.
While wondering what this might have been, a strong breeze passes over his face causing him to close his eyes.
Quickly the breeze passes over his face, now he can open his eyes ....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Dryland Region, located just below the Brightest Star in the skies of Mother Earth, Residence of the Men Lion Tribe Leaders, Planet Mother Earth, the first day after Mufasa.
As soon as he opens his eyes he finds himself now in the same scene of colors and cloudy and unrecognizable figures.
He feels like he's wrapped up in something warm and cute.
"Did I go back to that place?" Mufasa thinks, depressed because he is powerless to change this situation.
He knows he is a newborn baby. What can a newborn baby do besides cry, eat, sleep and defecate ?? Yeah ... nothing.
While sad in his situation, a strong hunger arrives and it is time to scream for food.
"sob! uh! ungh!"
Quickly someone, who unfortunately he cannot know who he is, comes to help him. Soon he feels that he is held by this person who then passes him into the same warm arms that he knows is his mother's.
Soon a pleasant smell invades your nose. He also hears a melodious and beautiful sound. Mufasa manages to realize that this distinctive sound is from his mother. How does he know? Connection between mother and child.
What's the only good thing about being a baby? It's the part that the baby drinks milk!
"aaaaaah !!" In thought Mufasa delights in the taste of his food. But as the last time and possibly it won't be the only one, a great sleep comes to get him....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While in the peaceful home of the tribe leaders. In a darker and more hidden area of the house, Shendu meets another Lion Man, who seems to be his subordinate, because he is on one knee pose on the floor listening seriously to what Shendu says.
"Tell me Shura ... Who was the traitor to the tribe who secretly managed to poison the food my wife ate?" Shendu, suppressing all his fury, imposes his subordinate imposingly.
"My Leader, we know that it was the second subordinate of the chef who was so far plotting for the death of his wife and son. But, as far as we can see, there is a mastermind of all that cannot be found with the clues that we have. " Shura respectfully responds to his leader. In his words, one can identify anger and unwillingness hidden deep inside. He feels flawed because I couldn't catch the bastard who did it. His honor as a Shield of the Leaders has been tarnished.
"My Leader, punish me. I no longer deserve to be your Shield! I failed to protect your wife and your long-awaited son." Shura, a Lion Man who has proactively devoted his entire life to training and duty to be one of the Leaders' Shields, now finds himself deserving of the blame for the complications of Lider Kora's birth.
"Stop Shura!" Shendu quickly interrupts his subordinate.
"It wasn't your fault! Even though you didn't find out who had my wife and son killed, you still managed to catch whoever was poisoning your meals. That was good. But, yes ... I will have to punish you for the duty of us protect that it was not long! "
Mufasa, in consideration of his subordinate's honor, could not let him go without punishing him. If he did that, it would be a mark of shame in his life.
"As of today, you will no longer be one of the Leaders' Shields. I deprive you of that duty !!" Mufasa authoritatively decrees the fate of his subordinate, but he has not yet finished with his order.
"Shura! As a punishment, I order you in the shadows to watch and protect my son Mufasa with his life until he can take care of himself. You will always take care that he is safe in our absence. Be our eyes and report everything to me. and Kora! " Shura's fate was decided by Shendu.
"Thank you, my leader! Thank you!"
Shura faithfully accepts his leader's mandate. He is grateful to once again be able to prove to his leader and to himself that he is capable of being the shield that will always look after his back and his son's back.
"Now Shura, there is no point looking for the damn behind all this. He must be alert and he will certainly not expose himself." Shendu continues to speak to his subordinate who is still on his knees.
"What remains for us now is to wait for him to feel safe and eventually expose himself again, so I believe we will be able to catch him."
"Now get out, you will not be in charge of this scare from now on. Go prepare to keep yourself in the shadows protecting my son ... You are a beastman that I trust Shura. I know you will do your duty well." Shendu says goodbye to his subordinate, because he just heard the cry of his precious son.
"May honor guide our way!" Shura says goodbye with the ancestral saying.
"May honor guide our way ..." Mufasa responds equally.
Then, quickly Shendu walks to the door of the room where is his beloved Kora and his son. He does not enter the room, he remains there in the dark, carefully observing the interaction between mother and child.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of the beast women in charge of helping Kora take care of her son takes the baby, who is now crying on his bed made of what appears to be sheep skin, and passes the child into the arms of his leader who is now awake of your sleep.
"Here lady ..." She carefully give the child to Kora.
"Kima... can go out. Thank you." Kora politely replies.
"My precious little baby, you seem to be very hungry. Who knew you could cry so loudly! It doesn't even look like you ... forget it! This is over." Kora talks to her baby and hands over her chest so he can feed.
And there in the dark, Shendu watches them and waits patiently that one day he can destroy the bastard who tried to take the people he loves the most.
"One day ... one day! I'm going to get you. Wait for me, you bastard! I'm going to kill you. I'm going to destroy you! I will!"
