Simba's Past Life

At long last, I revel this to you all. It is a summary of his past life... Feh. I still intend to write it out in story form but, for now, you all can stare at this summary.... I know it proubly is not very good but, I like it. x-x;;

_________________________________________________________

Long, long ago there lived a man by the name of Long Shu.
Long Shu was ruler of all of China.
Now then, the Shu dynasty was not very old at all. Infact, Long Shu was only the second Shu to ever become a ruler...

One day, Long Shu met a beautiful young girl, who he fell in love with at first sight. He began to follow her and talk with her whenever he could.. Eventually, he requested that she become his bride.
The girl (who was a goddess watching over the capital city and Long Shu.. But, the only person who knew this was one of Zan's ansestors, the head preist of the Shrine, Kendei. ) declined his request, wanting to focus more on her duty of watching over him and the city.

Over time she found herself falling in love with Long Shu and she soon agreed to become his bride. They wed four seasons after she agreed to marry him.

Almost a year later, the goddess found herself giving birth. She gave birth to two children, a little girl (who she never named.), and a little boy, who Long Shu had named Xao Shu. The goddess also found that she was dying. The work of having given birth to a mortal's children had just been too much for her to handle. Before she died, the goddess transfered her 'powers' to her daughter. As soon as she finished, she died and she was burried underneathe the cherry blossem tree behind the Shrine.
Four days after the death of the goddess, the daughter dissapered and was never heard from again.
Long Shu, in the mean time, was searching for someone to feed Xao Shu. He found someone and Xao Shu survived.

On the Eleventh day after the death of the goddess, a mysterious cry shot through the air, coming from behind the shrine. Kendei, the head preist of the Temple of the Stars (Also known as the Temple of the Heavens or the Gateway to the Skies.) went around to the back of the shrine to see what all the noise was about. Underneathe the cherry blossem tree he found a small lion cub, rolling about and kicking, wailing and screaming. Upon the lion's back was a pair of gigantic black wings. A smile had played across Kendei's face as he picked the cub up. The lion was clearly a gift from the gods, for he resembled the statue infront of the temple.
Kendei immedietly went to discuss his finding with his old friend, Long Shu. They both agreed that this was indeed a gift from above and it was also agreed that the cub would remain at the shrine with Kendei....
Kendei, who was fond of other cultures and languages, named the lion Simba, after the swahilian word for lion.

The time flew by and soon Xao Shu and Simba were young children. The two had both become very good friends and they were often rushing about the palace causing trouble (which usually involved the tripping of a servent or the slipping of a rat within one of the maids' drawers.). They also became obsessed with swords.. (Simba was more fond of charm cards and exorsism... )
During this time period a war was waging between the demon lord, Eclipse, and the human race.
Long Shu and Kendei had been spending countless hours plotting, trying to figure a way to rid the world of the demon.
Eclipse, himself, became annoyed by the attempts of Kendei and Long Shu to kill him. The demon placed a curse upon the capital city.......
Every full moon an eriee red fog would decend upon the city. Monsters would rush in and barge into homes, kidnapping children and slaughtering families. (The children were most often little boys. Sons were valued more than Daughters. Don't ask me why. That is just how the culture was....)

Long Shu became vexed over the happenings. Four months had passed since the time the curse had been placed upon the city and his people were crying for help. There was nothing he could do though....
So, Long went to Kendei and the two of them came up with a plan to rid the city of the Demon Lord's Curse... Kendei was going to exorsise the entire city on the next night with a full moon.

Simba had wanted to help Kendei so bad but, Kendei refused. The preist was clearly concerned about the child's safety but, Simba just could not see this. Simba, enraged by the declining of his request, locked himself up within his room in the shrine. He refused to come out until the city had been exorsised.
It took Kendei two tries (almost 2 months) to finally exorsise the city and rid it of the Demon Lord's Curse.
Xao Shu had visited the shrine every day to beg Simba to come out and when the city was finally exorsised, he was the first to greet the lion cub.
Simba was immedietly forced to eat. (Even though he didn't need the food. He had not lost so much as a pound while he was 'locked' away. Every night he would sneak out of his room to raid the food storage when everyone was asleep...)

(This time period was also the time period inwhich the blue liquid light engulfed Xao Shu and Simba and the two of them became deathly ill. This was also caused by the demon lord, Eclipse.... )

Time went by and the demon lord was not seen. Many years of peace followed after the exorsising of the city and Simba and Xao Shu had both become young adolesents, doing what all young men did.... Swooning over cute girls....

One day, a girl wandered into the shrine, begging to speak with Kendei. Simba had been up in the cherry blossem tree when she appered.. He found her rather beautiful and he did exactlly what he felt he should do..... He hit on her.
The girl found it rather amusing and introduced herself as 'Lin'. After a long and flirtatious conversation, Simba finally took Lin to Kendei and allowed them to talk alone.
He never found out what Lin had said to Kendei but, whatever it had been, Kendei had been extremely happy about it....

Lin became a resident of the city, living at the shrine with Simba and Kendei. Many more peaceful months went by and both Xao Shu and Simba found that they had a crush on Lin. They would often fight about who was better for the girl and they were always trying to impress her.
Lin, of course, did not see either one of them as more than a friend. (She did find Simba much more charming than Xao Shu though...)

It was during this time period that the demon lord, Eclipse, reappered and the war started up again. Eclipse, once again, placed a curse upon the capital city.
Every night, rather than every full moon, that eriee red fog would decend upon the city and the monsters would apper. They would barge into any house that did not have a charm card upon the door and would slaughter the families. Simba had started walking about, placing charm cards on every door. He often missed a few and this led him to feeling guilty about the death of the families.....

One day, Simba was sitting high up in the cherry blossem tree, making charm cards. Lin had come up and climbed the tree, sitting next to them and the two teenagers talked and talked while Simba made charm cards.
During the convorsation, Simba asked Lin to become his wife.
Lin found this rather amusing and giggled about it. Simba was a tad angered by her giggling and was about to ask her what was so funny when she kissed him.
She lept from the tree afterwards, rushing off. Simba chased her and they had a nice game of 'catch-me-if-you-can'.....

That night, the fog fell upon the capital once again but, this time something diffrent happened... The monsters appered but, there were twice as many and the spirit of an evil dragon appered... Xao Shu and Long Shu had been unfourtunate enough to be outside that evening and Long Shu was killed by the dragon spirit. Xao Shu escaped but, the boy had lost an arm and was bleeding.
He managed to make his way to Kendei and Kendei stitched the wound and did all he could to keep the young heir alive...
Vowing revenge, Simba armed himself with hundreds of charm cards and a small pendant that Lin had given him. (The pendant was blessed and was said to protect it's wearer from the harm of a dragon.)
He then set off in search of the evil spirit...
It took him 3 days to finally find the dragon and the two of them fought. During battle, one of Simba;s black wings was torn from his back. The dragon had also spat in one of his eyes, blinding the eye. Still, Simba managed to destroy the dragon before the fog lifted...

Simba returned to the shrine, bleeding to death. He found that Xao Shu had perished and he mourned.
Lin comforted him the best that she could....
Kendei knew that the time to act was now.. ...

The very next night, Lin reveled herself as the goddess of the twilight hour. Simba had been rather suprised by this but, Kendei had not. (For Kendei knows all. >3 Fear him. )
They prepared themselves for battle.. Armed with charm cards and pendants..... The red fog decended upon the capital city and the battle began. Simba fought and destroyed as many monsters as he possibly could, as did Kendei and Lin. The three of them managed to exorsise the city...

At the end of the battle, Kendei was severly injured and Simba was well near death. Lin had been about to give her life to Simba when the lion stopped her. He begged for her to save Kendei and after a short arguement... She agreed to do it. The goddess sacrificed her life so that Kendei could live...
Simba had dragged himself back to the cherry blossem tree and he had bled to death there....

Lin's soul returned to the heavens and that is where she remains to this very day.

Kendei became the ruler of China (Long Shu had written that Kendei would become ruler if he and Xao Shu ever died...) and he had four children. Three daughters and a son.......
The memory of Lin never died out, Kendei made sure of that... But, the memory of Simba's brave acts and his kindness was lost forever the moment Kendei passed away.. For Kendei, had chosen to keep the memory of his beloved 'child' to himself..............

(The only remaining information of Simba's exsistance was Long's diary. Kendei had placed the diary in a box and had sealed it away in the shrine though.. So, it was not found until the present day. Zan had been cleaning out his attic when he came across and old trunk and opened it and that was where he found Long Shu's diary. <3')


THE END! *sparkle*

Chinese Mythology notes:

1.) Statues of lions were often placed in gardens and other places to ward off evil spirits and demons. They were said to have been one of the strongest creatures in all of chinese mythology (for they were the creatures who did most of the fighting....)

And.....

2.) Dragons were a symbol of royalty and bravery. How can one by evil, you ask?
An evil ruler has an evil spirit.. The dragon in Simba's story was the spirit of a dead lord who had sold himself to demons. domokun buwahahahaha.....


That's all the notes I am putting there.... <3; Because.. That is really all you need to know........
