The Lion Guard: Grandfatherly Faith

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Chakula Plains.

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

"Everyone's fine." Kion 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." Bunga said.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

"I want to talk to Yeh-Yeh." Nita said.

Rafiki's expression softened.

"Go ahead." Rafiki said.

Nita cleared her throat.

"Yeh-Yeh, I want to talk to you!" She called.

She and Rafiki shivered as Ahadi's spirit embraced then.

"I'm here, Nita." Ahadi said.

"I want to ask you something." Nita said.

"What is it?" Ahadi prompted gently.

Nita felt Rafiki move to stand beside her.

"Do you have faith in me?" Nita asked.

Ahadi nodded.

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

"I love you, Yeh-Yeh." Nita said.

"I love you too." Ahadi answered.

Nita watched Ahadi's spirit fade away.

She leaned against Rafiki's side.

“Are you okay?” Rafiki asked.

Nita nodded.

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

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Kenai asked.

"It was fine." Bemba answered.

"I caught a klipspringer." Kia said.

"That's wonderful." Kenai said.
