Secret monthly meetings between Kion and Jasiri eventually led to their friendship becoming much more. That alone threatens their friendship becoming known to the Pride Lands, but they are willing to hope that one day, things between their homelands...
A/N: Okay, I know that the final episodes of Season 3 of the Lion Guard really threw off my ship and somehow sunk it. But before I could go into a super deep depression about that, I remembered something about my stories that I have and planned to share.
1. "Love Beyond Reasons" tells my version about what happened if Kion didn't leave the Pride Lands. If he didn't leave, then he wouldn't have gone to the Tree of Life.
2. This story will have a sequel about Jasiri joining the Guard to the Tree of Life. So if Kion already had someone special, then I might put a little bit of tension.
3. One of my future stories is an Aladdin AU. So there would be a magical being that could help a lovesick animal be with the one she loves, even if it means pretending to be someone else.
So I'm diving down and bringing my ship back up to the surface and make her sail again. And I plan to do so with this story. Now, I have nothing against Rani, she seems really cool. But Kion and Jasiri will be my OTP. Besides, I've read some other stories that don't have the canon ship, so why let my ship sink?
Now, let's get on with the really short prologue of my new story. And action!
Prologue
Many have heard this story before, but for those who don't, let's quickly recap it.
Deep in the wildlands of Africa, there was a large area of savannah that the animals called the Pride Lands. It acted like a kingdom, with the apex predators, lions, as the monarchy. But no matter what the species, all of them lived by the balance called the Circle of Life. Everything is connected, and everything is treated equally, despite the functions of nature, like predators and prey.
But of course, there are some who don't respect the Circle of Life, taking more than their fair share and killing for either power or for the fun of it. And it can throw everything in disarray and chaos, even bring the entire kingdom to its knees.
The biggest and most prime example is when the King of the Pride Lands, Mufasa, was overthrown and killed by his traitorous brother, Scar. But Mufasa's son, Simba, who had run away after his father's death as a cub, returned as an adult to take back the throne. He succeeded, and Scar fell to a fiery death. Simba became the new king of the Pride Lands, and he banished all of the hyenas who lived there, as there were followers of Scar.
But within days of Simba's homecoming, trouble was still within the Pride Lands. There were some lions that were loyal to Scar during his reign, and they were led by an evil lioness named Zira. She had it in her mind that Scar was the rightful king, and had chosen her youngest son to be the next king after him. But Simba knew that wasn't true, and Zira attacked him. Simba won easily, and he had no choice but to banish Zira and her family from the Pride Lands to the Outlands, along with the hyenas.
Time went by quickly, and within months, Simba's mate and the Queen of the Pride Lands, Nala, gave birth to twins, the eldest, a daughter named Kiara, who was to be the future queen after her father, and the youngest, a son named Kion, destined to become the leader of the Lion Guard, and defend the Circle of Life. It was a time of great celebration in the Pride Lands.

But within the years to come, a great threat would come to the Pride Lands. But it would be resolved by Simba's children. The princess would end it completely when her time comes, but the prince would keep it at bay from coming earlier. That, and he would fill a long-empty gap in the Circle of Life, one that deserves a new balance after so many years of bitter blood and competition. And it was to be found in a most unexpected way.
A/N: Tell me something I don't know, right? Don't worry. Things will get interesting soon. I promise.
Until the first official chapter, I'll see y'all! Please leave a comment about what you think. And PLEASE don't bring my ship down when I'm trying to suck it up and make it float again. I'm still feeling something bubbling in me about that.
