The Lion Guard: Introducing Dara

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Hapuna Valley.

"How's your family, Kion?" Beshte asked.

"Everyone'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" Fuli said warmly.

Meanwhile, Kovu and Vitani had taken Denahi, Belee, Nita, and Marigold to the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"What are we doing, Mom?" Nita asked.

Kovu and Vitani exchanged a glance.

"We want you to meet someone." Kovu said.

"Who is it?" Denahi prompted.

"Your great-grandmother." Vitani said.

Belee and Nita exchanged a glance.

"Your grandmother?" Belee asked.

Vitani nodded.

Kovu glanced up, and cleared his throat.

"Grandmama, we want to talk to you!" He called.

He and Vitani shivered as Dara's sprit embraced them.

"My darlings, what is it?" Dara asked.

"It's time you met our cubs" Vitani answered.

"It certainly is." Dara said warmly.

Kovu gently nudged Belee and Denahi forward.

"Tell her your names." He prompted.

"My name is Denahi." Denani said.

"I'm Belee." Belee added.

"I'm so pleased to meet both of you." Dara said.

Vitani gently nudged Nita and Marigold forward.

"I'm Nita, this is my sister, Marigold." Nita said.

Dara's expression softened as she gazed at Mari.

"You look so much like your mother." She said.

Belee cleared her throat.

"We love you, Grandmama. We're very proud to be your descendants." She said.

"I love all of you very much." Dara answered.
