Mufasa was born three years ago. He, like any of the beast children, was old enough to begin his training as a hunter. And today would be the day that this training would start ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But before that ... let's go back to a few months ago.
Mufasa as we know is a child-beast who is the son of the leaders of the tribe. His birth was, in a way, a tragic event. Because, at his birth, he was considered dead, as he did not breathe and did not respond to any stimulus.
Fortunately, when all hope was lost, Mufasa was resurrected and breathed again and gave his first cry.
As a result of this event, Mufasa was born blind and a short time ago it was thought that he too was born dumb.
Well ... your first year of life was as normal as the first year of any drinking.
Then came the ceremony, the day of the baptism of Mufasa by the Druid and also his elementary awakening.
Everything was happening normally. The Druid gave his blessings to Mufasa, something that is only done for the descendants of the tribe's leaders. And also, with the use of her magic she also saw a glimpse of her future ...
Until this moment everything was fine .... Right?
Then, in his elementary awakening, something incomprehensible happened. It is worth mentioning that the elementary awakening does not pose any danger to the parties involved! But for Mufasa it was different.
In addition to being the last to have the manifestation of his elementary nature, so everyone would see the characteristics of his element ... Mufasa passes out!
This moment was confusing and he was also the generator of the discussion about whether or not Mufasa had awakened his element. And this whispered discussion by the tribe's inhabitants became a hot topic for some time.
This news was a delight for those who conspired against the leaders. The more woes happen to the damned Shendu and Kora the better, they said secretly.
But, as the days passed, the tribe learned that something wrong had happened to the leaders' child.
As soon as the child woke up, he was in a situation of lethargy!
The child after awakening was unable to act on the stimuli of the world around him It was as if nothing interested him!
He wouldn't cry for food even if he was hungry!
I wouldn't cry if I got hurt!
He barely answered if someone was calling him! Of course, fortunately he was not deaf.
But he was not able to speak, the child was dumb, they thought!
Soon, in his growth, he started walking.
It was a happy situation for Mufasa's parents and the household servants.
But even so, other events showed that his happiness was like a flower in a sea of mud.
A dash of joy in a sea of disgrace ....
It was common for the servants to wake up at dawn to take care of Mufasa, because he usually had severe fevers and it was common to find him crying.
This situation somehow showed that Mufasa was in pain, he suffered from something.
This was incomprehensibly sad and also exhilarating!
Since it showed that Mufasa was aware. He was not like an animal that followed commands.
He was not like those creatures of the forest of death ...
But even so, he was considered among whispers by everyone around him as a "cursed child".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And from there, a great period of suffering for Kora and Shendu passed.
But this suffering ended as soon as Mufasa celebrated its third birthday.
On this day, while his parents hugged him and wept with sadness, helpless by the condition of his son ...
He who has never said a word until now, let alone babbled something like any child-beast in his development would ...
He spoke his first words!
This moment was a mixture of immeasurable happiness for his parents along with an astonishing fright because of the whole strange situation.
Well ... How is it that a child who has never said anything in life, let alone babbled something like any drink would, just like that, start to form complex sentences?
The fright was such that in their first word Mufasa's parents thought it was their son's spirit that finally broke free from his short life of suffering and would innocently follow the road to the afterlife.
In their next words they realized that it was indeed the child in their arms who was speaking. They were frightened at first, thinking that he was one of those demons from the legends who had possessed the body of their precious son.
But quickly the joy of having your child communicate for the first time with the world overcame any uncertainty and distrust.
They were happy and anxious. Has your beloved baby miraculously improved? What if it happens again? Worse, what if this is a dream that is happening and soon they would wake up and see that all that happened was an illusion of the fruit of their desires?
After the silent moment generated by your son ...
While in paralyzing shock, they slowly digest what was happening.
Then, in the midst of all the chaos of the moment, they desperately pinched themselves to see if this was all true.
Desperate servants ran to the tribe leaders' son's room. They had no idea of the cause of such a commotion, but soon learned what was happening.
It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the residence and then to the entire tribe.
It was a long night of excitement!
Many exclaimed to the four winds the miracle that had happened!
Others in the dark, who at first did not believe what was happening, whispered misfortunes at this moment that would make their plans go in a direction contrary to what was expected ....
In fact, the event caused a storm in the tribe.
Finally, a moment of happiness and hope for the leaders of the tribe.
But little did they know that their precious son would still bring them many surprises!
That was nothing more than the beginning of the blowing of the winds that bring change ...
