Pride Rock's Invitation For Princess Merida

Pride Rock had recently celebrate its unity festival, now it was time to travel around Africa and prepared for the festival of light. Rafiki told Bhati the bat-eared fox he'd discovered some ancestry facts of Europe and Africa so he thought Merida was worthan invitation to this festival. Bhati was happy when he told her her cousin the red fox was the symbol of Yule a holiday in Celtic states.

After Rafiki wrote Prncess Merida's invitation he asked Sand Cats and Wildcats to take this up to their cousins and try to reach Scotland as quick as possible. So to reach Scotlands in time the two cat species cooperated. The sand cat and the wildcat helped each other find the best shortcuts to Scotland. But the Wildcat finished the trip because it has cousins up in Europe including the Scottish Wildcat.

Merida was excited when her palace pets told her about this invitation from the Pride Lands in Africa. Her palace pets promised Princess Merida they'd help her reach lands of the Greek lions while she also followed the Golden Jackals seen on Greece's borders and then met Kazakahstan's sand cats and wildcats too. Then these two cat species took princess Merida down the Nile River of Africa.

Pride Landers in Ethiopia were quite excited to see her. It's the Ethiopian Wolves who offered her a sleepover. Then Bhati the bat-eared fox took Merida further down. on their way Bhati started to explain the celebration so Princess Merida could feel a little more welcome to this unfamiliar land. Then the that afternoon the African Wild Dogs brought Princess Merida a meal. Merida let Reirei scavenge her soup, fruit, and nuts. Then she follow the African Wild Dogs to Pride Rock.

Rafiki and the lions were pleased to see Princess Merida. Tamaa the drongo sang Merida a welcome song with Kingfishers,  Ethiopian Swallows, Flamingos, Bee eaters, Parrots and Turaco birds, plus the eagle Hadithi and Ono. Then more Pride Landers Paraded  and Princess Merida was taken to the safest cave to sleep in so she could rest before the festival started.

Since it was a Galago and a Genet who woke Princess Merida up she was reminded of Yule Cats in fantasy. But they told her it was just time to get ready for the festival of light. Princess Merida loved how similar this celebration of light in the Pride Lands was similar to her celebrations of  Yule in Scotland
