The Lion King 3: Current Events

The Dream

Kovu

Later on that day it became dark. The beautiful stars are now out with a surprising full moon. All the lions climb up Pride Rock on their way to bed. I follow behind Kiara inside the cave to our usual sleeping spot.

"Good night." She whispers, then licks my left cheek.

I purr, nuzzling her in return. "Good night, Kiara."

I so cannot wait for the day when I make her my official wife ❤️.

I close my green eyes falling into a deep slumber.

Kovu....

Kovu......

KOVU!!!

"What? Huh??"

Hello son! It's been so long....

"Wait. Son?"

Yes. My son! You don't remember? I am your mother....

"Mother? Zira! W-What are you doing here alive?? Your'e dead!"

Ouch! That hurts. I was expecting to hear a "Mother I missed you" or something.

"I thought you drowned?"

I did. I am not alive. But my spirit still is. I've come to visit you in your dreams.

"Well get out of them and let me sleep!"

Ah, ah, ah. That's no polite way to speak to your mother! Why so much anger and rudeness? All I ever did was love and care for you to grow up as the handsome adult lion that you are now. This is what I get in return??

"Mother you may have raised me, but you also gave my life hell."

Hell? I disagree!

"All you ever cared about was your deceased husband Scar. You wanted what was best for you and him. Not Nuka, Vitani, or me. You barley gave us any attention growing up! We played with ourselves. In fact, I barley played with other Cubs because I was so busy training with you to become a killer."

That is so un-true! How dare you say those false things about me.

"I should have ran away from the Outlands a long time ago thinking I was doing things right with you. You had my head filled up with so many lies..."

Lies? What lies!

"Oh come on Zira. Let's not play dumb here! When I was a cub, you told me bad evil lies about Simba and his family. He never killed Scar. The hyenas and fire is what took him out."

Oh so you believe him over your own mother?! I see they've gotten inside your head too much.

"No mother, you've gotten in my head too much. What Simba told me was the dead truth. It was sad to have to find out from someone else though. But I'm over it. I'm happy living here in the Pride Lands. I've started a new chapter in my life with a fiancé and a un-born cub. I won't let you take those things away from me!"
