Story:

Salim was born in the Pridelands, during Simba's reign to a young couple named Chumvi and Saada. He is the youngest, born just a few minutes after his twin brother Hakim. He was born after the large drought, and after Scars reign.

Unfortunately, his mother was murdered a month after his birth. This was a sad time for his father, Chumvi. This also led to the exile of Zira and her followers.

Salim grew up to be stubborn and cunning. He knew how to get out of trouble, and wasthe brains of the cubs, even though he rarely went on their adventures through the Pridelands. While his brother flirted with the young lionesses, Salim would go to the waterhole and sleep under a tree.

One day Salim and his close friend Kito happened to stumble across the Outlands, and discovered three cubs and a teen hanging around the border. He was confused. Simba had told all the cubs that outlanders were dangers. Salim introduced himself to them, and found out their names were Vitani, Kovu, Spotty and Nuka. After a while, Salim and Kito continued to visit the outlanders, and bring them extra food for their pride. They became a handy tool for Zira and her pride, unknowingly. He then grew closer relationships with the cubs of the outlands. Although Kovu and Vitani were almost the same age as his cousins Kiara and Fluffy, he befriended them more easier than Nuka and Spotty- even though the other two were closer ages to him.

Salim snuck out in the morning to hang out with the outlanders and in the evening, for cover he pretended to hang around the pridelanders.

Salim started to see himself as more of an outlander than pridelander, because he looked more alike the outlanders than the other cubs. The other cubs had pridelander noses, he had an outlander nose. He liked the pridelands, but what were they to him?

One day Salim toke his brother Hakim and cousin prince Kopa to meet the outlander cubs, but unfortunately Kiara and Fluffy followed behind and told on them, meaning Salim got grounded.

Time flew by and Hakim, Salim and Kopa would reguarly snuck out to go see the outlander cubs. One day, when they ventured out to the outlands, and met up with only Vitani. She told them to run back to the Pridelands, and that her mother would kill them if she saw them with her brothers and herself. The boys knew she wasn't lying, but just as they were about to leave; Zira pounced out from behind a patch of grass and attacked the boys. Hakim clawed her in the face, while Salim jumped on her back and bit into her neck. Hakim shouted to Kopa to run, because he was the heir to the throne. Kopa refused to leave them to die, but Hakim and Salim insisted. "Go, save yourself, Prince." Hakim told Kopa. Kopa tried to run, but Zira grabbed him by the tail and flung him through the air. His screams filled Hakim and Salim's ears. Salim was wacked across the face, and flew. He looked over to Hakim, who had been knocked unconcious, leading to Zira attacking Salim.

When Salim awoke, and looked over to Hakim, and saw blood everywhere. He then saw Zira take Kopa. He tried to get up, but he couldn't. "Kopa.... No..." He moved towards Hakim, and with all his strength, stood up and shook his brother. "Hakim! Wake up!!" A tear drizzled down his cheek. "Hakim! No!" Then, Hakim's eyes opened. Salim growled. Hakim smiled. He was still bleeding badly. But, that didn't stop Salim from slapping him and shouting "Geez!! You nearly gave me a heart attack! I thought you were dead!!" That was when Hakim got worried. He looked at Salim and said "Have you seen Kopa?" Salim gasped and looked around. "Kopa?!" They looked everywhere, to find Kopa's body in the Pridelands, and the other members of the pride mourning for the loss of Simba's son. Chumvi was crying. Hakim and Salim continued to stay hidden, until Chumvi asked for them. That was when Hakim fainted. Salim gasped and ran out to tell his father. "DAAADD!!" He shouted. Chumvi turning, and full of joy nuzzled his son. He then noticed one was missing. "Where is Hakim?" He said. "Dad!! Hakim is hurt!! He fainted on the way to find Kopa!!!" He said, in between sobs. He then looked at Kopa's mangled body.

Salim felt guilty, and stayed by the waterhole for the rest of the day. He knew it was his fault for disobeying orders from the King. He looked at Hakim, who was still unconcious. "Why didn't I get murdered?" He mumbled, tears drizzling down his cheeks. He felt bad, he got the future king murdered. He felt as though it was his fault.

When Hakim awoke, Salim explained everything. They then cried each other to sleep, and were also comforted by Kito.
