The Lion and the Princess

A lion with a black and brown mane made his way to a lake in the Forest where he lived, he wasn't having the best day, but still it was okay to say at the least. Could've been better for him, after all he was informed of Simba's new cub being born about one day ago, it was a beautiful girl named Kiara. But he couldn't return to see her, so he promised to meet her when she was older, and maybe the Queen of the Pride Lands. All he wanted was some water to drink, instead before he could, he heard something like laughing. He followed the laugher and found some horses? Six of them. He smiled at them and saw him and his friends when he was younger in them, but mostly Simba and himself. Them being so into adventure with Nala and Mheetu, of course.

He left as he heard them moving away, could be going home or something. He wasn't expecting Zazu coming over to him and actually talking to him. That was a first, even to Zazu. He always, next to Simba, got Zazu into trouble with Mufasa, but hey there's a first to everything right?

"Zazu, didn't expect to see you here."

"Just wanted you to know how Princess Kiara is doing! Actually, Simba sent me here."

"Kiara? How is she doing? Is she about 1 or 2 days old now?"

"Yes! She's already wanting to be outside and be exploring! Just you and Simba."

"Well send Simba my praise for his little girl for being like us."

"Will do Asher!"

Asher went on his way and lied down under a tree, he closed his eyes, but heard something else. Why? Couldn't he just have a little nap? Looks likes he can't, he hid behind some bushes and saw little horses? That were talking about something, this time there was three instead of six. Okay, so he lived where horse were, that's new. He got closer and went quiet, he sighed as they went away. Something told him this wasn't a good place to live, but it was bad either.

He only hunted when needed, and he had lots of animals being nice to him. But something wasn't right about this place, something was off. He thought everything was clear until he saw a horse with.....Purple fur? The heck? That wasn't normal....Right? He got closer and took out his claws and moved a bit closer and jumped out at the horse.

*ROAR*

"Whoa!"

"Who are you? And what business do you have here?"

"That should be my question to you. But I'm Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship. And you are?"

"Umm Asher. Sorry for roaring at you. But really, what are you doing here?"

"I came out here to explore a little. And you?"

"I live here."

Asher looked at Twilight as she went on about how wonderful things out here were, he rolled his eyes and sat down under a tree. Waiting for her to leave, did he ever want to go back to the Pride Lands. But he kept his word to Simba, he would return when Kiara was older. He lied down his head and closed his eyes, but he felt something. He looked to see Twilight laying down next to him with her head in his mane. The heck? Why was she doing that? Was she tired?

He looked around and figured she was tired, he didn't want to wake her, so he let her sleep. About 6 minutes later Twilight woke up and Asher was sleeping, she got up and left. Asher woke up about a minute later, his eyes took a minute to adjust but other than that, he was awake. He didn't see Twilight, he figured she left.

Asher finally got water from the lake, and he went off to find something to eat. He found some dear, and he knew it was the perfect lunch for him. He went closer and made sure no one was around, and then he attacked. He dragged the dear somewhere no one would see the dead animal, and not seeing him eating it. He was full by the time the dear was half gone, he washed his mouth in the water and took a fast drink.

"I think it's a good time to take a walk. Maybe see some more things that are new to me, after all, things are different here than in the Pride Lands."

Asher walked around the Forest and found himself looking at Twilight and the other five horses, he gave a confused looked and went somewhere else. He didn't look but when he heard something from behind him.

"What?"

"Come with me, I want to show you something Asher."

"Why? Aren't you afraid that others won't like a lion around?"

"No worries Asher, they'll keep their thoughts to themselves."

"......Alright, fine. But, this is your idea, so you take the blame if they start freaking out!"

"Deal! Come on!"

Asher sighed and followed Twilight, he was nervous and stuff, but he still went with it. Twilight found Asher looking worried about the idea, but he was still going through with it. Asher found himself growling at more horse that looked at him, but Twilight shoot him a look of stop.

"Not my fault they keep looking at me!"

"Well, just ignore them Asher. You don't want any harm."

Asher rolled his eyes and saw a hug castle coming up, he eyed Twilight and saw her smile. Why else would she tell him to follow her? God, first he meets her and now he's going to her home, it was different from Pride Rock. This wouldn't be good at all!

"I want you to meet someone, or two."

"And who would that be?"

"My brother and sister-in-law."

"What?"

She waited him to meet her....Brother and Sister-in-law!?
