_________________________________________
~~~~Rafiki's temple.~~~~~
"Asante Sana
Squash banana
We we nugu
Mi mi apana!"

We see him painting on the side of the temple wall: a new baby, with the ceremonial mark across the forehead, next to the old drawing of F/n.
"{laughs} Ahh, Y/n..."
The wind blows Rafiki's hair wildly, a sign of G/f/n's presence. "Ooh, G/f/n! Such a day this has been! Princess Y/n's birth... another Circle of Life is complete, and the Pride's future, our beloved Pride Lands, is secure again." Rafiki said.
The wind blows at the paintings, scattering some of the markings
"Aaah! Stop it, stop it, stop it! G/f/n-- look what you are doing! The Circle is broken now. Why do you--" He pauses, understanding.
"Ooh... there is trouble in the Pride Lands. {he looks toward the edge of the painting at a rough black lion figure} There's another child? Hmm... where could this be? {realisation comes to him with a puff of wind} in the Outlands..." Rafiki stoops and then continues.

The Outlands. The landscape is a barren desert, with strange rock formations everywhere.
"But that is where F/n banished Ras' followers. Including his most loyal... Talia." The mention of the banishment adds a layer of tension to the barren landscape of the Outlands.

Far away in the Outlands an insect lands on the ground; Damian immediately appears with a miniature sword.
"Grrah!" Damian holds the word up and crashes it onto the ground, almost squashing the buzzing insect; he smiles and sets the sword down on the floor, watching the bug fly away.
"Damian!"
Talia, who is supervising. She snatches the insect from the air and smashes it to the ground.
"Don't let it go. What's the matter with you?" Talia says in an angry tone.
"But Mother! It wasn't hurting anyone--" Damian tried to say, but it ended with Talia cutting him off, her voice sharp with disapproval.
"There is no room for weakness here, my son. Remember... Ras took you in and accepted you as his own son." Talia said.
Talia has moved close and pulled Damian against her. Damian seems doubtful.
"But he wasn't my father; he was my grandfather," Damian said.
"No... but he chose you to become the next King. When you rule, we shall no longer be forced to live in these dry, barren, disgusting, pathetic, termite-infested Outlands!" Talia says, scuffing her feet on the ground, her voice filled with a fierce determination against fate, a testament to her unyielding ambition.
Damian looks down in quiet agreement. Suddenly, Athanasia and Mara fight to be the first back with the news.

"Mother! Mother! Mother!" Athanasia and Mara say at the same time.
[Mara calls Talia mother because Talia took her in after her mother was killed. Athanasia is Talia's biological daughter.]
Athanasia and Mara are speaking over one another, their voices filled with a competitive edge, each trying to get the first word in, a clear sign of their ongoing sibling rivalry.
"We were there-- in the Pride Lands. We saw the whole thing!" Athanasia says
"At Pride Rock. We saw everything!" Mara screams
"We saw F/n's child!" Athanasia and Mara both say.
"What? Mara -- what did you see?" Talia asks.
"F/n new child is a girl!"
"A girl! {laughs} Ras, my father... did you hear that? This couldn't be more perfect." Talia said.
"Who's she talking to?"
"Ssshhh. Ras." Mara answered her question.
"{gasps} Where? Where?" Athanasia says in a wondering tone.
"Ras' dead... genius," Mara answers
"Yes! Because of F/n... if not for him, Ras would still be King. And I, Talia-- his loving, devoted daughter!" Talia said.
"You know, speaking of kings/queens... I was thinking, since I am the oldest... maybe I should be Queen! Huh?" Athanasia questioned.
"Uh? Don't be a fool, Athanasia ." Talia said in an annoyed tone.
"Heh heh... just a thought," Athanasia said
Athanasia has rolled over subserviently on her back.
"Damian is the chosen one. We must fulfil Ras' dying wish and train Damian to become King." Talia said
"Oh... yeah.... oh, yeah. I can do that!" Athanasia says
Talia climbs up on a rock point to gaze out over the land. The others follow.
"Look... at the Pride Kingdom, my pets. It's so green and so inviting. That is our home... that is where we belong. And soon, my beloved father... we shall reclaim your kingdom."
