The Lion Guard: A Royal Duty

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ukuni Woods.

"How's your family?" Fuli asked.

"They're fine. Kiara's presiding over the Royal Buffalo Wallow today" Kion said.

"Isn't that her favorite duty?" Bunga asked.

Kion nodded.

"Vuruga Vuruga's one of her best friends" he said.

He glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded and took to the sky.

He returned a moment later and settled down on Beshte's back.

"All clear" Ono said.

Meanwhile, Kiara had met up with Vuruga Vuruga's Herd at Hapuna Valley.

She was standing beside Vuruga Vuruga.

"It's so wonderful to see you" Kiara said.

Vuruga Vuruga inclined her head.

"How is your family? I am most anxious to meet your new niece" she said.

Kiara's expression softened.

"They're well. Mari's a darling cub, she's growing up very fast" she answered.

"Is Zuri feeling any better since Koda's passing?" Vuruga Vuruga asked.

Kiara shook her head.

"She's still grieving heavily. Everyone is very worried about her" she said.

She padded forward, and gazed at the assembled herd.

"Let the Buffalo Wallow begin!" Kiara called.
