The Lion Guard: Grieving for Dara

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

Kovu and Vitani were spending time together at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

“How was the hunt, Tani?” Kovu asked.

“It was fine.” Vitani answered.

She leaned over, and nuzzled Kovu’s cheek.

“I love you, Kovu.” Vitani said.

“I love you too.” Kovu said.

Vitani watched him sigh, and glance up.

“What’s wrong?” Vitani asked gently.

“I miss Grandmama.” Kovu said.

Vitani’s expression softened.

“I know. I miss her too.” Vitani said.

“I’m very glad our children met her.” Kovu said.

“I’m glad too.” Vitani said.

Meanwhile, Simba and Nala had met up inside the den.

They were settled down amongst the moss.

"How was the hunt?" Simba asked.

"It was fine." Nala answered.

She leaned over, and nuzzled Simba’s cheek.

“I love you.” Nala said.

“I love you too.” Simba said.

Meanwhile, Nita had met up with Rafiki at his tree.

She was helping him count juniper berries.

“How’s Makini?” Nita asked.

“She is fine.” Rafiki said.

Nita moved closer, and nestled against him.

“I love you.” Nita said.

Rafiki’s expression softened.

“I love you too, darling.” Rafiki said.

He pressed a palm against Nita’s cheek.
