Ulluxa POV. "NightRani's POV. "Oh." I say. "Why are there so many animals here? What is going on?" Baliyo asks me. "It seems her time has come." Surak says trying to say that Grandmother Janna is starting to die. "NO! I DON'T WANNA GO IN!" Baliyo says not wanting to go in because Grandmother Janna is dying. "Baliyo, We do not want to go in either, but we have to. Queen Janna needs us to." Nirmala says. "Nirmala's right, Baliyo. We have to go in. For Grandmother." I say to Baliyo. "Night Pride, together?" Baliyo says. "Yeah, Little Brother. Night Pride, together." I say to Baliyo. "Some water, Queen Janna?" Makini says as she offers Grandmother some water in the bowl made out of twigs and cement. "How is she doing, Makini?" Kion asks Makini. "Not good, Kion. I am worried she will die today." Makini tells Kion. "Oh no. Rani will be devastated. Is there anything you could do, Makini? For Rani and Queen Janna's sake?" Kion asks Makini. "I'm can't do that, Kion for 2 reasons. Reason #1: I am not that smart of a royal mjuzi. And reason #2: She is going to die of old age. She is 111 years old. She needs to die at some point. If she never dies, Rani will never be Queen." Makini says to Kion. (Sighs) "I guess your right, Makini, but can you at least just TRY? Isn't that how you find out if something is possible and if something is not?" Kion asks Makini. "Come on, Kion. Let's talk with her before she dies. Let her speak her last words to us." Makini tells Kion. (Sighs) "OK, Makini. Let's do this." Kion tells Mskini and himself. "Grandmother?" I say to Grandmother. "Princess? Is that you?" Grandmother asks me. "Yes, it's me, Grandmother." I say as I begin to nuzzle her on the forehead for the first and last time. "Now, Rani, My little bundle of joy, I want you to grant me my last wish." Grandmother tells me. "Yes, Grandmother? What is your final wish?" I ask Grandmother. "Take my place and Queen and become the new Queen." Grandmother tells me. "But, but, I still have so much to learn! And I probably won't be a good Queen! What if I become a bad Queen?" I ask Grandmother. "Rani. Listen to me." Grandmother says. "Yes, Grandmother?" I ask. "You are better than you think you are. You will be a great Queen. You are a great granddaughter. You are a great daughter. You are a great sister. You are a great niece. You are a great friend. And most of all, you are a great leader. I have full faith in you." Grandmother says before she starts to die. "Thank you, Grandmother. But I probably won't be as great Queen as you." I say to Grandmother Janna. "Hey, You will be a better Queen, Rani. We chose your name for a reason. We thought you would make a great Queen someday, so we named you Rani, because it doesn't just mean 'Queen', it also means 'A great leader'." Grandmother says to me. "Thank you, Grandmother. I will always remember this moment and always cherish it." I say to Grandmother before she dies of old age.
