Note: This takes place between Seasons 1 and 2

The Pridelands, one month earlier.

Bunga and I ran a good distance away from The Pridelands, but I tried turning and running back for Connor, or Shujaa as he liked to be called, a being who claims to be from another world. ‘’NO!’’

‘’Relax, Kiara!’’ Bunga stopped me, patting my shoulder. ‘’What’s the worse that can happen?’’

Slowly, but surely, I started to relax, my muscles soothing and my breathing and expressions calm again. ‘’You’re right…’’

But suddenly, my panic came back as I heard Kion’s roar...directed to where Connor was. Immediately, my eyes widened as I saw Connor and Kenge The Monitor Lizard go flying into a wall, Connor going head first into the cliff and falling, causing a bunch of medium-sized rocks to fall on him.

In less than a second, I began sprinting off with Bunga grabbing onto my tail for support. ‘’Kiara, slow down!’’

‘’Fat chance I am, Bunga!’’

I leapt off of the rock and bolted to Kion.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;white-space:pre-wrap;">Both of us rushed to the rocks, getting the remaining ones away as I, in heavy concern, put my ears over his heart, sighing in relief as I heard beating, albeit slower than normal. ‘’He’s alive, but really hurt.’’

Bunga! Get him to Rafiki’s tree and hurry!’’ Kion ordered, then looked at Fuli and Ono. ‘’Fuli! Ono! Make sure nothing else is out there!’’
