Kion Discovers His Destiny

Part Two

Back at Pride Rock, Nala and Simba were at the peak of their home along with Rafiki upon hearing Kion's thunderous roar. However, they were amazed that that roar belonged to their young son.

"That was Kion's roar?" Nala asked.

Rafiki laughed joyfully. "Yes, Nala, yes!" He confirmed. "He is ready! It is time!"

"No, Rafiki." Simba disagreed. "He can't possibly be ready. He's still a cub."

The mjuzi came over to the king. "Simba, Simba, you heard the Roar!"

"I heard it." Simba said. "It's just, it's a big responsibility. I need more time to prepare him."

Nala faced her mate. "I think you've just ran out of time, Simba." She said, knowing that their son can finally know his place in the Circle of Life. "You need to tell him."

"But Nala-" Simba began to protest as his mate started to leave.

"Listen to Rafiki, Simba." She calmly cut him off, and then she entered the cave.

Rafiki gently placed an arm over Simba. "Kion is ready." He said. "It is time."

By then, Kion and Bunga had arrived on the scene. "Time for what?" Kion asked. "Dad, Rafiki, what's going on?"

Rafiki nudged Simba, who gave him a glare. There was no turning back now.

"Son, we need to talk." Simba said.

Kion felt something crawl up his spine. He had a feeling that he wasn't going to like this.

****************************

Kion's mind and heart were racing giddily. His father had just asked him to assemble the new Lion Guard! Now he knows his role in the Circle of Life. No longer would he just be sitting on the sidelines as just a prince. He could finally be someone important! All he needed to do was find the best of the best in the Pride Lands for the Bravest, the Strongest, the Fastest, and the Keenest of Sight.

As leader of the new Lion Guard, he was meant to be the Fiercest, so that meant that he had the Roar of the Elders. It was a magical and powerful roar that whenever he needed to, the Lions of the Past would roar with him. He just had to tell Kiara this. He couldn't wait to see the look on her face when she hears this!

He already knew who was the bravest in the Pride Lands, and that was his best friend. The honey badger was overjoyed by the request. "I can't wait to tell my Uncle Timon and Uncle Pumbaa!" He exclaimed.

Just then, they heard a scream in the distance. "Little help?" It sounded feminine.

Kion rolled his eyes. He knew who that voice belonged to. "Sounds like Kiara's friend, Zuri." He said with mild annoyance.

Zuri was always one for keeping her claws sharp and shiny. Basically, she liked to always look pretty. Honestly, Kion couldn't care less. What was the point of looking nice if you're going to get your fur at least a little ruffled up later?

However, Bunga was more excited, thinking that it could be their first mission as the new Lion Guard, even though the others hadn't been called yet. He rushed off towards the voice, with Kion following behind.
