The Lion Guard: A Grandfather’s Devotion

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ndefu Grove.

"How's Ma?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine." Bunga 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.

Meanwhile, Simba had met up with Belee and Denahi inside the den.

They were settled down amongst the moss.

“How was the hunt, Belee?” Simba asked.

“It was fine.” Belee said.

She pressed herself against Simba’s pelt.

“I love you, Grandpa.” Belee said.

Simba’s expression softened.

“I love both of you very much.” Simba said.

He extended a paw, and Denahi nestled against him.

“Can I join the evening patrol?” Denahi asked.

Simba nodded.

“I’m fine with it if your parents are.” He said.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

“How is Mari?” Rafiki asked.

“She’s fine.” Nita answered.

She moved closer, and nestled against Rafiki’s side.

“I love you.” Nita said.

Rafiki pressed a palm against Nita’s cheek.

“I love you too.” He said.
