The Story of Lionis
Chapter 1: An Unhappy Ruler
I am Lionis, the ruler of a small demain, but I'm an unhappy ruler not because I'm leader of a small empire, but because I wish I could do more for my people.
I'm watching the plains for predators, and I see the females hunting prey for the males while us males sit here and watch the young of the females.
My wife, Kenya, is hunting and lucky for me, we don't have young, so for now, I am allowed to watch the plains and see the females hunting.
When Kenya came back, the two of us had dinner together and after our eating, Kenya went to sleep while I watched the land of my kingdom.
Kenya went hunting and soon she came back with meat, and then we gorged on the meat for breakfast.
We were finishing what was left of breakfast when suddenly I saw Leopario out of nowhere.
"Hello, Lionis!" greeted Leopario with strong cheer in his voice.
"Hello to you too, Leopario!" I greeted back.
Pardon me for not telling me who Leopario is.
Leopario is a lion not a leopard, and he's my cousin and he's my favourite person in my family.
He's very cheerful as you see, and very loud, too.
After we greeted to each other, we talked about how were were and what changed in the family, and while we were talking, Kenya gave the food from breakfast that we were going to Leopario.
Suddenly I heard screaming and the roars of lions and I turned to look what was, and it was my kingdom's lionesses screaming and lions attacking my people roaring, while some of the lions of my kingdom were fighting off lions that were attacking.
"Oh, no!" cried Kenya.
"Lonion" I said.
We had a plan and it was to get all the lionesses out of the open where Lonion's lions could kill them, and get them all to the safe place, which was an old mill that the humans abandoned a long time ago. Kenya would hide there, too.
All the males of the kingdom including me and Leopario, to scare off the lions attacking.
Me and Leopario told all the males the plan.
When they're off my kingdom, we will send a signal to the females and everyone can relax.
I made that the safe place if we were attacked because it's far from the boarder around my kingdom and it's very big with lots of places where the lionesses can hide.
We rounded all of the lionesses and we lead the females to the mill and then the females and Kenya hid the mill.
Then me and Leopario joined the males fighting and it was noot long until we scared off the lions and we sent the signal to the females in the mill.
Suddenly I saw Kenya and then Leopario joined in with the two of us and we all talked together.
"That was odd that Lonion's lions attacked us. They never attack us" I said.
"Yes, but I've heard of many kingdoms with lions that were attacked by Lonion's lions" said Leopario.
"I have a feeling about something" spoke Kenya.
"Us too" said me and Leopario in unison.
Chapter 2: Leopario Visits Lionis
Later in the night, I fell asleep and in the in morning, I was woken by Kenya as always.Kenya went hunting and soon she came back with meat, and then we gorged on the meat for breakfast.
We were finishing what was left of breakfast when suddenly I saw Leopario out of nowhere.
"Hello, Lionis!" greeted Leopario with strong cheer in his voice.
"Hello to you too, Leopario!" I greeted back.
Pardon me for not telling me who Leopario is.
Leopario is a lion not a leopard, and he's my cousin and he's my favourite person in my family.
He's very cheerful as you see, and very loud, too.
After we greeted to each other, we talked about how were were and what changed in the family, and while we were talking, Kenya gave the food from breakfast that we were going to Leopario.
Suddenly I heard screaming and the roars of lions and I turned to look what was, and it was my kingdom's lionesses screaming and lions attacking my people roaring, while some of the lions of my kingdom were fighting off lions that were attacking.
"Oh, no!" cried Kenya.
"Lonion" I said.
Chapter 3: Saving the Kingdom
Me, Kenya and Leopario went to save my kingdom from Lonion's lions, but everyone was scattered and that made it harder to find them. Luckily my kingdom's small and that makes it easier for us.We had a plan and it was to get all the lionesses out of the open where Lonion's lions could kill them, and get them all to the safe place, which was an old mill that the humans abandoned a long time ago. Kenya would hide there, too.
All the males of the kingdom including me and Leopario, to scare off the lions attacking.
Me and Leopario told all the males the plan.
When they're off my kingdom, we will send a signal to the females and everyone can relax.
I made that the safe place if we were attacked because it's far from the boarder around my kingdom and it's very big with lots of places where the lionesses can hide.
We rounded all of the lionesses and we lead the females to the mill and then the females and Kenya hid the mill.
Then me and Leopario joined the males fighting and it was noot long until we scared off the lions and we sent the signal to the females in the mill.
Suddenly I saw Kenya and then Leopario joined in with the two of us and we all talked together.
"That was odd that Lonion's lions attacked us. They never attack us" I said.
"Yes, but I've heard of many kingdoms with lions that were attacked by Lonion's lions" said Leopario.
"I have a feeling about something" spoke Kenya.
"Us too" said me and Leopario in unison.
Chapter 4: Lonion
Lonion.
Lonion was a good bright young lion and the females liked him a lot, hoping they would be his bride.
Another reason they wanted to marry him was because his father was the ruler of one of the big kingdoms and he was also very strong.
Kenya was one of the females that like Lonion, and Lonion liked her too because she was brave, beautiful and caring to all animals, but one day she met me and she was the sweetest sight I've even seen.
She liked me and we hung out together, seeing the plains, talking to each other, sometimes even about our future together as a married couple.
But Kenya didn't tell me about her liking of Lonion, my enemy, and she never did until one night she was scared.
She told me she was scared of Lonion, who had found out about our dating together, and he was hunting Kenya down and he was about to kill her.
Suddenly Lonion appeared and me and Lonion got in a fight and I win and told Lonion never to follow and talk to Kenya again.
He argeed and me and Kenya ran as fast as we could from Lonion.
We later got married, I become ruler of my father's land and we've been happy ever since.
The attack that Lonion lions did. It's very mysterious what's going to happen next time.
He met Kenya one day and then they fell in love and she forgot about me. Her real husband.
Yesterday, I attacked Lionis's kingdom and I failed, but I will try again and kill him and marry Kenya, my love that abandoned me long ago.
I will have my revenge. I will make Lionis's life hard and bitter like he did to me, and I'll do a hard gamble to do it.
"The two best lions of his kingdom" I thought.
Lonion and the other lions approached to me, Leopario and Kenya, and then Lonion spoke.
"We're at war, Lionis" said Lonion.
"Why would we be?" I asked Lonion.
"Or else I will kill your wife" reasoned Lonion.
Then Kenya gasped and I calmed her down. I told her to take a few deep breaths and I said some reassureing words and then she was fine.
Give me some time to think about it" I said.
"Fine. I will give you two days to decide. After the two days are up, you give me your answer. If you have an answer, I kill your wife."
"OK" I say.
I think very hard about this when I'm watching the plains or when I'm sleeping.
And then I decide that I'd be not at war with Lonion, but Kenya dies, but I feel it's the right choice for my kingdom.
"I've decided" I said. "I''m not at war with you."
"All right" says Lonion. "Then Kenya dies."
"No!" cried Kenya.
Suddenly, Lonion slashed and clawed at Kenya, and soon my wife was dead, but I was calm about it and knew what was right.
"So you were brave enough to let Kenya die and to even watch her die" said Lonion.
"Yes I was, but to avoid fighting of two kingdoms" I told Lonion.
"A very wise choice, I have to said, Lionis" comments Lonion.
"I know" I say.
Then Lonion leaves my kingdom and everything is the way it was before, but the only thing that's changed is my wife.
No Kenya at dinnertime, no Kenya hunting for food for the two of us, so no Kenya in my life anymore.
I always cry when I think about Kenya, all the happy memories we've had together--all gone.
I should have thought better about the choice I've made, because I'm missing Kenya and I wish I could go back in time and fix this mess.
Then I thought of something: maybe I should kill Lonion, since he was the one that made me do such a thing.
He's the one that should be punished. I'm going to kill him. I am going to kill Lonion, my old enemy.
I went to Lonion's kingdom and the same two lions that were with Lonion when he entered my kingdom were guarding the entrance to the kingdom.
I said I was Lionis, ruler of Loios, and I wanted to see Lonion, their ruler.
They let me in, and they walked with me to the palace of Lonion and then they left the palace with only me and Lonion.
Lonion wanted to know why I was here, but before he could move, I slashed and clawed at his skin and soon he was dead.
Then I wiped the blood off my claws and smeared it on a wall and then I ran as fast as I could out of the kingdom.
Then I wanted Leopario dead: He was always special and had so many talents Mom and Dad adored and I never was special to Mom and Dad, unlike Leopario and I just want Leopario. He's my next target.
Chapter 5: Revenge
I want revenge on Lionis.He met Kenya one day and then they fell in love and she forgot about me. Her real husband.
Yesterday, I attacked Lionis's kingdom and I failed, but I will try again and kill him and marry Kenya, my love that abandoned me long ago.
I will have my revenge. I will make Lionis's life hard and bitter like he did to me, and I'll do a hard gamble to do it.
Chapter 6: Choice
Suddenly, I saw Lonion and two lions at his side."The two best lions of his kingdom" I thought.
Lonion and the other lions approached to me, Leopario and Kenya, and then Lonion spoke.
"We're at war, Lionis" said Lonion.
"Why would we be?" I asked Lonion.
"Or else I will kill your wife" reasoned Lonion.
Then Kenya gasped and I calmed her down. I told her to take a few deep breaths and I said some reassureing words and then she was fine.
Give me some time to think about it" I said.
"Fine. I will give you two days to decide. After the two days are up, you give me your answer. If you have an answer, I kill your wife."
"OK" I say.
I think very hard about this when I'm watching the plains or when I'm sleeping.
And then I decide that I'd be not at war with Lonion, but Kenya dies, but I feel it's the right choice for my kingdom.
Chapter 7: A Wise Choice
Two days later
"I've decided" I said. "I''m not at war with you."
"All right" says Lonion. "Then Kenya dies."
"No!" cried Kenya.
Suddenly, Lonion slashed and clawed at Kenya, and soon my wife was dead, but I was calm about it and knew what was right.
"So you were brave enough to let Kenya die and to even watch her die" said Lonion.
"Yes I was, but to avoid fighting of two kingdoms" I told Lonion.
"A very wise choice, I have to said, Lionis" comments Lonion.
"I know" I say.
Then Lonion leaves my kingdom and everything is the way it was before, but the only thing that's changed is my wife.
Chapter 8: No Kenya
I'm going crazy without Kenya.No Kenya at dinnertime, no Kenya hunting for food for the two of us, so no Kenya in my life anymore.
I always cry when I think about Kenya, all the happy memories we've had together--all gone.
I should have thought better about the choice I've made, because I'm missing Kenya and I wish I could go back in time and fix this mess.
Then I thought of something: maybe I should kill Lonion, since he was the one that made me do such a thing.
He's the one that should be punished. I'm going to kill him. I am going to kill Lonion, my old enemy.
Chapter 9: Lionis's Next Target
I said I was Lionis, ruler of Loios, and I wanted to see Lonion, their ruler.
They let me in, and they walked with me to the palace of Lonion and then they left the palace with only me and Lonion.
Lonion wanted to know why I was here, but before he could move, I slashed and clawed at his skin and soon he was dead.
Then I wiped the blood off my claws and smeared it on a wall and then I ran as fast as I could out of the kingdom.
Then I wanted Leopario dead: He was always special and had so many talents Mom and Dad adored and I never was special to Mom and Dad, unlike Leopario and I just want Leopario. He's my next target.
Chapter 10: Close, but No Cigar
No luck in killing Leopario.
I thought I could kill him like I did with Lonion, but Leopario blocked all the moves I did to kill him.
I was amazed that he blocked all the moves I did to kill him because I've never see him do so well at fighting, but he probably practiced and practiced when I was not looking.
Maybe he was just lucky today besides, nobody can win win every battle, but I will finish him off, I know, but luck may change.
I was so close to killing Leopario, and I so knew I could kill him and be the special one for Mom and Dad and all my kin, but I failed but I'll kill him next time.
This is going to get very complicated the next time we meet. No more Mister Nice Guy.
Leopario's lucky that I didn't kill that time.
Close, but no cigar.
Chapter 11: The Ruler Killed
I'm Leopario, cousin and killer of Lionis, ruler of Loios.
Anyway, let me tell my story about the second fight, the one when I killed Lionis, and you'll know everything about what happened.
"Leopario" said Lionis
"Yes, Lionis?" I asked.
"Let's fight again" said Lionis.
"It's about the death of Kenya, right. You miss her." I say.
"Yes. You killed her!" shouted Lionis.
"No, Lionis. You're blaming your anger on me, even though I didn't kill her" said Leopario.
"And after you kill me, you're going to kill your people, right?" I asked Lionis.
"Yes" I heard Lionis say.
"And I'm going to kill you this time!" yells Lionis.
He jumps on me and claws my skin, but I get him off me and we switch places this time.
He gets out of my trap, and we fight for a long time, slashing each other, dodging attacks, lot of blood on us, but eventually, I pin Lionis down to the ground as hard as I can, not letting go. Lionis can't escape.
"Sorry Lionis, but if you kill your people, hundreds of lives, I will kill you right now if nesscessary. I'm sorry, Lionis, but I won't let hundreds of lions die."
"Is this what you want to do, kill hundreds of lions because you think they killed Kenya?" I ask. "Is this what you want to do?"
Lionis nodds.
"Well, I'm sorry Lionis, but this is what I must do."
I claw at his skin, blood gushing out of his body, and I do this for a long time, but soon he's dead. My cousin.
"I'm sorry, Lionis. You chose the wrong path and you followed it and were going to kill hundreds of lions. I'm sorry, Lionis. I'm very sorry."
And that's my story.
And that's my story.
Epliogue
Six months later, I became ruler of Loios, but I changed the name Sienna, after my wife.
We raised four cubs: three girls and one boy, and are a happy family together, playing fun lion games together in the evenings, running in the warm sun in the summers and laughing with each other, joy speading around the family.
Being ruler is a tough job, but after a while, it's gets easier and easier to do, and I enjoy it, watching familes together, seeing the females hunting for foods, watching the plains for predators, the same things Lionis did when he was ruler.
