Let me get something straight. I’m not your normal average prince. I love trouble. I seek danger. I beg for mischief. My mother always tells me I was like her as a cub. I don’t know about that, just that I’m a loner. My siblings are like me. Well... not Giza. He’s a coward.

You’re probably wondering why I’m talking about this. Well, I’m special, you see. I’m the next king of the Pridelands. My mother always tells me about my birth ceremony. How that elderly monkey Rafiki held me in the sky and animals would bow down. Apparently I was moody that day, tried to scratch his arm. But my father laughs at that story. He sees me as his little prince. I am.

Some time later, my siblings were born. Akili was the first. She was always my best friend, you could say. My grandfather Simba favours her. I can see clearly. And so does my mother! And my brother Giza is the youngest. Father is the one that favours him. The only one that looked out for me was my grandmother Nala. She died some time ago though. We all miss her, me the most.

Father is getting strange recently. He overprotects me a lot, scolds me the most for getting in trouble, you see. And I’ve been getting more nightmares than ever, of Scar, of Zira, of all the lions and hyenas my parents told me about. Father was the one I turned to as a young cub. Now... he doesn’t anymore. He doesn’t give a thought to me. I mean, he’s the king, he’s busy... but I always feel like he needs me to be on my own. Probably his Outlander blood.

I spend more time with Mother now. Well... I did. She’s more overprotective. Well some time ago, my aunt Vitani got seriously injured. She’ll live, though she will have a bad paw for the rest of her life. I really hate it when Mother overprotects me. I’m the prince after all!

Of course, I have my fair share of secrets. I can share it with you right? You see... the other day I met a hyena.
