Moses of Egypt has been welcomed into the Pride-Lands, he is met by King Mohatu, Queen Aina, and their daughter Uru.

Join Moses as he goes back to Egypt with the help of God and his friends! There will be sad, funny, loving, and happy moments in this story. This is the story of Moses, not like you've heard before!


The deserts of Africa were loud with wind gusting everywhere, from the land of Egypt, to the Out-lands. There, one man walked, he was blocking the raging wind that caught sand by using his left hand. He remembered what happened today, oh, so much, first, his mother reveals that she-the Princess of Egypt- was not his real mother. Second, she tells him that his real family are Jews- the slaves. Third, when he saw one poor Jewish slave getting beating half to death by an Egyptian guard, he whacked the gaurd on the head by using a rock. That killed the sinful one and now has made him the run-away prince. His name is Moses, the second prince of Egypt. Moses looked up too see where the sun was, it is nearly setting, in some short-time, night would come.

After about 1 hour, the sun was set, the moon fully high and the stars shining, it made the sand glow in the most beautiful way.

Moses was tired, crestfallen, and confused. He wondered what his future would be.

He looked at the stars with hot-wet tears covering the stains on his face from the old ones,then, he cried out: "Oh,

Stars, help me! You all light the sand to show me where I am going, but you don't show me where to go, oh, The Lord of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob... Help me! Please!" Moses felt so alone, he felt so scared, he felt so tired.

Then, the sounds of footsteps came near. Carefully, Moses turned his head to see what or who it was.

To his shock, he saw one something he thought he would never see before, they call it kings of the savannahs, rulers of the animal kingdom, but he knew it by another name: A Lion! A huge mane that would keep him warm in the cold, the body of brutes, but the eyes he could not see.

Slowly, Moses stepped back,then, he ran for his life. Without looking or thinking strait, he fell down a sandy hill. Tumbling down the hill, Moses felt a heavy pain on his head, he became dizzy while touching his face, blood dripped. Is this it? Is this my death? Waiting for the Lion to come and feast on his flesh, please... Don't let that be the way my time ends.

Truly enough, the Lion came down hill steadily,then, came up to him. Moses said: "Lion, have you come to kill me?"

With that, Moses started falling into heavy sleep from tiredness. As he was drifting, he thought he heard a voice say; "No,

I won't." Sleep subsumed Moses, no more sounds.

With tired eyes sturing open, Moses raised his head, wishing he hadn't. Moses saw that he was not in the sand, nor in the stomach of the predator from last night. He saw he was in some sort-of cave that seemed quite big. But there, on the ground of the cave where Lioneses, none had woken from ther slumber and didin't dare wish too. Gingerly, Moses started walking on his tippy-toes. He touched his temple to see if the blood was still there. In response, his head started aching, without thinking, Moses made grunt. One Lioness' ear flickered,then, she turned to where the sound came from.

Her eyes widened, the creature was awake. Moses turned around to check if no-one woke up, that wasn't the case.

There eyes locked into each other,then, the Lioness exclaimed; "The creature is awake!" When she said that, all the Lionesses slowly looked up.

At the same time, Moses flinched and prepared to run, still with the shock that Lions could talk, when suddenly, a deep voice called. "Do not fear,creature. We will not harm you, we only want to ask some questions."

Moses was scared stiff, but then, he said, "w-who are you?" It was the same Lion that he saw last night.

The lion smiled, then, he said; " My name is Mohatu, and welcome to the Pride-lands."
