Kheri's Guard - Chapter 1

It was a lazy day in the Pride Lands. Vitani's Guard was hanging out under the shade of a tree. Imara yawned on a rock.
Their ears perked up with the unexpected voice calling out "Aunt Vitani!"
Vitani's nephew Kheri was running toward them. Vitani leaped off the rock she was sharing with Imara. "Yes, Kheri?"
Between panting, Kheri said, "Well, I talked this over with my parents, and they thought...that...maybe... I could lead a Lion Guard of my own."
"A Lion Guard of your own?" Kasi retorted, standing up straight. Vitani shot her a look, then repeated the question in a nicer tone.
"If it doesn't bother you, of course." Kheri quickly said, nervous flushing his face.
"Hmmm," Vitani thought. "I suppose it wouldn't be too bad for you to have a miniature Guard of your own."
"Yeah, but just let us adults handle the real business." Shabaha added, coming up beside her leader. Vitani rolled her eyes.
"So, do I just help other cubs and stuff?" Kheri asked, now even more in doubt.
"You will learn as you go. Just try to keep the Pride Lands' safety as your #1 priority." Vitani told the cub.
"Okay," Kheri said, a small smile spreading across his young face. Vitani proceeded to place her paw on his shoulder, giving him the Mark of the Guard.
"Thanks Aunt Vitani!" He squeaked. He than ran off to find his friends.
Once he was out of earshot, Kasi asked, "Gee, 'Tani, do you think that was such a good idea?"
"Whatever my brother and Kiara say flies." Vitani answered. "It can't do too much harm for the cub to practice this stuff. He's next in line for leading a Lion Guard anyway."
"I agree," Tazama chimed in.
Meanwhile, Kheri had arrived back at Pride Rock and spotted his cousin Nuka II playing with Majuto, his best friend, around a group of lionesses. Kheri ran up to them, slightly nervous.
