The Lion Guard: Reflection of the Past

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands,

Simba and Kovu were ou

t taking a walk to the waterhole to spend quality bonding time together.

" Simba were you nervous when you became king?" Kovu asked,

"Well Kovu I was at first then I thought about what my father would do and I tried to do it" Simba answered.

"What did Mufasa do?" Kovu asked.

" My father was a good and wise king he held his love for his kingdom and family above his love for himself, even when his own brother betrayed him, he wasn't looking for revenge when he told me to take back the throne, when I was Kion's age he taught me the ways of a good ruler and I've kept his wisdom to this day and I look forward to passing it down to you and Kiara, when you become rulers" Simba said,

Finally they made it to the waterhole and settled down. Just then they heard a noise and looked up and exchanged a groan when they saw Zazu flying towards them. When Zazu reached them he landed at their feet and bowed low. " King Simba, Prince Kovu I bring a message from Queen Nala" he said breathlessly.

" Zazu what's the message?" Simba asked, "her majesty thinks a storm is coming and requests your presence at Pride Rock immediately" Zazu said. "All right Zazu we're coming" Simba said sighing, the three of them made their way towards Pride Rock. When they reached it Zazu bowed and made his way to his nest on the other side of the rock formation. When Simba and Kovu entered the den Nala and Kiara immediately  came over to them,

" thank goodness your safe sweetheart" Nala said relief in her tone, " honey why wouldn't we be safe?" Simba asked pressing his muzzle to Nala's cheek.

" Yeah the storm hasn't even hit yet" Kovu added nuzzling Kiara, Just as he said it thunder sounded and a bolt of lightening shot across the sky as rain began to pour, from his spot in between Kiara's legs Kion started to cry.

" it's all right baby" Nala said soothingly coming over to her children and laying down next to them, "mama will you sing to me?" Kion asked, "of course darling Nala said as Simba and Kovu came over to join them. She cleared her throat and started singing,

"Come stop your crying It will be all right Just take my hand Hold it tight I will protect you From all around you I will be here Don't you cry

For one so small

You seem so strong My arms will hold you Keep you safe and warm This bond between us Can't be broken I will be here Don't you cry

You'll be in my heart No matter what they say You'll be here in my heart, Always"

When Nala finished singing she smiled when she saw that both of her babies had fallen asleep. She glanced at Simba and laughed when she saw that both he and Kovu had fallen asleep. She sighed then joined them in slumber.
