The Lion Guard: Encountering Dara

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Chakula Plains.

"How's Ameba?" Bunga asked.

"She's fine." Fuli said.

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." Beshte said.

Meanwhile, Kovu and Vitani had met up at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt, Tani?" Kovu asked.

"It was fine." Vitani said.

She glanced up.

"I'm going to talk to Grandmama." Vitani said.

“Really?” Kovu asked.

Vitani nodded.

She stood up, and cleared her throat.

"Grandmama, I want to talk to you!" She called.

She and Kovu shivered as Dara's spirit embraced them.

"My precious grandchildren." Dara murmured.

Kovu stood up, and pressed his pelt against Vitani's.

"We love you, Grandmama." Kovu said.

"We miss you very much." Vitani added.

Dara's expression softened.

"I love you both. I'm proud of you." She said.

"Thank you, Grandmama." Kovu answered.

He and Vitani watched Dara’s spirit fade away.

Kovu pressed his muzzle against Vitani’s cheek.

“I love you, Tani.” Kovu said.

“I love you too.” Vitani answered.

Meanwhile, Kenai and Kia had met up with Bemba at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt, Grandma?" Kenai asked.

"It was fine." Bemba answered.

"I caught an antelope." Kia said brightly.

"Great job, Kia." Kenai said warmly.
