Motherly Love

Motherly Love is a POV story by PrinceBalto.

Premise
This is a story from Zara's POV about when she adopted Jasiri in my remake of The Lion Guard. For those who don't know my story, Zara is a leopardess character I created. In my take on TLK, she raised Simba in the jungle rather than him being raised by Timon and Pumbaa (who still appear). She taught him to fight and fed him on flesh. Then she followed him back to Pride Rock. As for Jasiri, she lost her mother and clan in an unknown traumatic incident of which Jasiri was the lone survivor. She wound up in the Pridelands and the rest is history.

Story
I never expected it to happen a second time

But it did

I had already raised Simba as my nephew

Now it was time again

This is when I met you, my darling Jasiri

You had lost your mother and clan

Despite the difference, I sympathized

That's when I knew that we were meant to find one another

I declared you my daughter

Now, I just needed to make sure that Simba was fine with it

I took you to him

He was more surprised than upset

However, due to our past connection, he allowed it

It was done

We are different, but you are my daughter now

Regardless of what comes after you

Be it Janja or another enemy

I will ruthlessly protect you

You are mine

Mine to me

You are my daughter, and no one can tell me different

By fang and claw shall you be defended

Near me shall you sleep

Come Jasiri, let us go and explore your new home
