A storm was brewing tonight. Clouds and the accompanying thunder rolled across the African savannah, flattening the long grass.

         Xander closed his eye contentedly and sighed as the cooling wind caressed his face. Thunder rumbled loudly, almost as if a voice was speaking.

         You have forgotten who you are…

         Xander snapped his eye open and stared in amazement at the clouds above his head. They were shaped in the form of a majestic lion with a great, flowing mane, which seemed to be looking down somewhere nearby.

         Remember who you are…

         Sensing movement in the corner of his eye, Xander shifted his attention from the clouds above to another lion in the distance, this one made of flesh and blood, running towards the now receding clouds. He watched as the lion first slowed, then stopped dejectedly. A moment later a baboon joined him. It looked like they were having a conversation.

Xander blinked and turned on his heel, heading back to where he had made camp. He absently put a hand to his stomach. He really needed to remember to lay off the goat cheese before bed. Vampires and demons he could deal with, but talking lions were something else!

The Apocalypse had come and gone and humanity had done the unthinkable – it had survived. Angel's final stand may have ignited World War III, but it had freed humanity from Wolfram and Hart's clutches and a brighter future had emerged.

         Illyria had looked down on humans as inferior beings, but she now understood why the half-breed had fought for them so fiercely. She had been there when Wolfram and Hart, on the very eve of their victory over humanity, had had it snatched from their clutches. The muck had not been cowed, but had even driven the demons out and had secured Earth as its own.

         She had been pleased by the downfall of her enemies, but as the only survivor of the fight in the alley, Illyria had soon found herself without purpose.

         This was expounded when the Council had ensured that the supernatural elements of the war were forgotten. But whatever magic they had wrought, had not affected Illyria, she who had been a god among gods.

         So she watched as humanity grew. When Zephram Cochrane took to the stars, Illyria smiled and remembered what it was like to walk amongst them. She would find her place there.

These make 5/6!

The Lion King one was awesome; I'd never have expected a crossover with that movie to work, but given Xander, it totally does.

And the Trek one! Angel responsible for WWIII! Illyria surviving to watch it all! It would be interesting to see what each of the Iconic Captains would think of her, if they met her, and what she would think of them.

Yay!
To tell you the truth, I didn't think it'd work either. The plot bunnies made me do it!
You won't believe how many times I redid the second drabble. I might write some more in that 'verse, but you can play in it too if you'd like as my knowledge of Trek mostly consists of TNG :)
