The Lion King 2: Past Events

Mufasa's Words Of Advice

Simba

Next Day...

I woke up early morning to go get a drink of water. Last night I had another one of those bad dreams of my father and Scar. This time it was way worse. I was in my father's position and Kovu was in Scar's. Kovu pushed me off the cliff and became the new King.

I snap my eyes open breathing too hard. That's when I knew I had to go walk it off. Maybe Nala is right...

I'm thinking too much...

I sat down in front of the waterhole and sigh with my eyes closed.

Father, if you can hear me...

Please tell me I've made the right decision letting Kovu stay in the Pride Lands...

Scar is there...

It just doesn't feel right...

"Simba." A strong, deep voice calls.

"Father?"

I look up at the morning sky. Clouds form together creating a large lion head. It's my father answering my thoughts.

"What seems to be the problem, son? You look so lost."

"I am. I don't know what to believe or choose. Kovu is Zira's son. I feel like Scar is still there. How can I trust him? What if I'm allowing a set up??"

"Hmmm. Something is telling me Kovu isn't what his mother dreams of him. There's more about him that you or Kovu don't even know yet. Perhaps, there is a cure..." Father said.

I raise a brow. "A cure of what?"

Father smiles. "Your daughter."

"What? No, no. Please tell me your joking father!"

"How can you not see Simba? They're secretly in love."

I shake my head. "No. I can't allow my daughter dating an outsider. That'll bring more war between Zira and I."

"Your wrong. It will bring more peace and both prides together. This war between you and Zira has to stop. You're both fighting over nothing!"

I look down at my paws.

Maybe my father is right...

"Pay close attention to Kovu and your daughter, Simba. You will see what I mean. Hopefully you'll loosen up your guard. Kiara knows what she's doing. She's a smart kid..."

Father's head is slowly disappearing. Then I quickly thought...

"Father, wait!"

"Yes, son?"

"When will I meet my second son?"

"Who? Kopa??"

Father chuckle and smiled. "Soon Simba. Be patient..."

With that, father's head is gone. The sky had went back to normal.

So Kopa is his name?
