Here’s a rough draft of the early script for the Tree of Life debut fanfic.

Kion and Kiara were spending time together at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Kion asked.

"It was fine" Kiara answered.

She rubbed a paw against Kion’s cheek.

“We’re going to the Tree of Life today.” Kiara said.

“Really?” Kion asked.

Kiara nodded.

“Daddy wants to renew the treaty.” Kiara said.

She stood up, and nudged Kion to his paws.

When they reached Pride Rock, Simba, Nala, Rafiki, and Kovu rushed to greet them.

“Are you ready to go?” Simba asked.

Kiara nodded.

“We’re ready, Daddy.” Kiara said.

Kion cleared his throat

“What are you doing here, Rafiki?” Kion asked.

“I am accompanying you to activate the Moja Kwa Moja Stones.” Rafiki said.

“What are Moja Kwa Moja Stones?” Kion asked.

“They’re the landmarks that mark the way to the Tree of Life.” Kiara said.

Kion moved forward.

“Can you carry me, Dad?” Kion asked.

Simba’s expression softened.

“Of course, Kion.” Simba said warmly.

He bent his head, and grasped Kion’s scruff.

Simba and Nala led the way to the border.

They crossed the border, and entered the Back Lands.

“The first Moja Kwa Moja Stone is located in Acacia Woods.” Rafiki said.

When they arrived, Rafiki moved forward, and tapped his staff against the stone.

“Yes, we are on the right path.” Rafiki said.

“Where’s the next landmark, Rafiki?” Nala asked.

“At a waterfall not far from here.” Rafiki said.

“Let’s keep going.” Simba said.

Kion cleared his throat.

“Tell me about the Tree of Life, Dad.” Kion said.

“The Tree of Life is a safe place for animals who are hurt or sick.” Simba said.

“It’s also a place animals with nowhere else to go can go to seek help.” Kiara said.

Rafiki chuckled.

“I went to the Tree of Life shortly before Nita became my apprentice to ensure that it was the right path for her.” Rafiki said.

“Really?” Kion asked.

Rafiki nodded.

“I hope to take Nita there one day, with Vitani’s permission.” Rafiki said.

He cleared his throat.

“We have reached the waterfall.” Rafiki said.

He moved forward, and tapped his staff against the stone.

“Not much longer now.” Rafiki said.

“Have you ever been to the Tree of Life, Kiara?” Kion asked.

Kiara shook her head.

“This’ll be my first visit too.” Kiara said.
