The Lion Guard: Mohatu's Faith

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Nyani Grove.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine." Kion answered.

Kion glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded, and took to the sky.

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

"It's all clear" Ono said.

"Thanks, Ono." Bunga said.

Kion cleared his throat.

"I want to talk to Grandfather." He said.

Fuli and Beshte exchanged a glance.

"Let's go to the Meadow." Fuli said.

Kion nodded.

He and Fuli led the way to the Meadow.

When they arrived, they settled down underneath the baobab tree.

Kion glanced up.

"Grandfather, I want to talk to you!" He called.

He shivered as Mohatu's spirit embraced him.

"What is troubling you, Kion?" Mohatu asked.

Kion felt Fuli press herself against his pelt.

“I need to ask you something.” Kion said.

“What is it?” Mohatu prompted.

"Do you still have faith in me?" Kion asked.

Mohatu's expression softened.

"I always have, and I always will." He said.

"I love you, Grandfather.” Kion said.

"I love you too." Mohatu answered.

Kion watched Mohatu's spirit fade away.

He felt Fuli press her muzzle against his cheek.

"Are you okay?" Fuli asked.

Kion nodded.

Meanwhile, Kenai and Kia had met up with Bemba inside the den.

"How was the hunt?" Kenai asked.

"It was fine." Bemba said.

"I caught a galago." Kia said brightly.

Kenai purred.

"I'm proud of you." He said warmly.

"Thanks, Kenai." Kia answered.

Bemba rubbed a paw against Kia's cheek.

"You are just like your mother." She said.

"Really?" Kia asked.

Bemba nodded.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

"Is Mosi feeling better?" Nita asked.

Rafiki nodded.

"I am grateful that he wasn't hurt." He said.

Nita nodded.

"I am too." She answered.

She leaned over, and nuzzled Rafiki's cheek.

"I love you" Nita said.

Rafiki's expression softened.

"I love you too" Rafiki said.
