Simba and the Stone of Conquest: Simba The Fireboy, #6

By Derek Goneke

An adrenaline-fueled race against time.

Our prophesied hero, Simba, has garnered a formidable ally in Queen Oglove of Yttrium. Now resilient against even the most lethal alien assault, Simba and the Queen plunge through the echoes of time to Ahec, a place whispered to hold the keys to the Stone of Conquest. With the sands of time slipping swiftly through their fingers, will Simba's vision of a harmonious world materialize? Or are they merely hurtling towards an ominous crescendo?

An unyielding thirst for vengeance.

Quinn, caught in the crosshairs of his relentless ambition, knows Simba's whereabouts—and he's rapidly closing in. His kin, now irrevocably estranged, have been deemed irredeemable, their rebellion a glaring insult. Blinded by his insatiable desire for power, Quinn's spite festers, emboldening his resolve. Joined by Deputy Wong and the enigmatic Lady Hex, Quinn hurtles towards Ahec, where the coveted Stone of Conquest is thought to rest in the care of the exiled queen—Oglove's own mother. As Quinn's ranks swell in number and surge in strength, a cacophony of emotions engulfs him—grief for his lost family and triumphant ecstasy for the anticipated downfall of Simba, his greatest adversary.

Reality is shrouded in illusion.

Queen Oglove harbors a vivid memory of the day her mother was condemned and exiled, a disgraceful end to her reign after word of her treachery reached the King, Oglove's father. As the universe teetered perilously on the precipice of calamity, the birth of the Stones—the Treasure of Ocal and the Stone of Conquest—brewed unease in all living creatures. Touted as the architect behind the universe's most potent magical artifact, the identity of the fallen queen remains shrouded in enigma. However, a newfound clue might be the key to her discovery. Guided by this hint, Simba and the Queen traverse the perilous expanse of an infamous forest, a place known to ensnare unwary wanderers in an eternal maze.

The brink of the apocalypse

Eila's intuition tingles with the nearness of the enemy—her instincts have never steered her wrong. Her father's deception has shaken their core beliefs, sharpening her discernment. As the enemy's troops loom ominously on Ahec's periphery, Eila harbors an acute fear for Simba and the universe's fate. Yet her faith remains steadfast in the prophesied child. In him lies the key to liberation, the beacon of hope in a world beset by darkness.

Book preview

Simba was surprised at how easy it was for him to meet up with the Queen. He had not envisaged the smooth meeting; he guessed he was lucky or perhaps following Landa’s instruction had helped him too. As he sat next to  in her Majesty turkey-shaped spaceship, with its metallic polyhedron interiors, flying back to the Splendid Yttrium palace, Simba could not help but imagine what was going on with his friends on Earth. Simba shuddered at the thought of Deputy Wong and Lady Hex getting hold of the Stone of Conquest, they would unleash evil upon the Earth and other alien races, feeling that they were already unto something bad, but things were out of his hands this time. He had to leave the Earth to save the Earth. His mind drifted to Lily and Bryant whom he had left at Ahec, he hoped that Bryant would get better so they could go back to the present.

Do you like what you see? Queen Oglove had been staring at the little boy. Deep down, she was scared and sad. Since she had taken the throne from her father, the first person to have betrayed her was Quinn; he had stolen an important treasure and fled. Though she had not known of his absence at then, the Grimks who were powerful allies of her kingdom had reported seeing Quinn with the treasure. They had reassured her of their ability to handle him, and they did. For a thousand years and more, she had enjoyed peace on her planet, knowing that Quinn was forever banished. But she did not know that Hex, his sister and Deputy Wong, her beloved cousin had been working with him. They had planned to take the throne away from her all these years, while she had trusted him. A sharp pain ran across her back as she remembered telling Deputy Wong some delicate things about planet Yttrium.

When Simba had told her of the situation of things, she had sent a message through her mini phone to the guards at the palace to search for Hex and Wong. They had returned with the message of their absence, so Simba was not lying. The guards had also reported missing spaceships and missing guards. They had it all planned. This showed her their level of determination to rule Yttrium and all the planets in the universe. But she had sworn by her father’s side to protect not just Yttrium but other planets in the galaxy.

Simba had been eyeing the many flying cars, and the sparkles that emanated anytime the cars clashed. He turned towards the royal chair to answer her question.

I like it here... it is colder than the Earth.

She nodded, "Many planets are colder than the
