The Lion Guard: A Mother's Pride

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Hapuna Valley.

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

"Everyone's fine." Kion answered.

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." Kion said warmly.

Fuli pressed her muzzle against Kion's cheek.

"Can I visit Mari?" She asked.

Kion nodded.

They bade goodbye to their friends, and headed towards Pride Rock.

When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.

"Hi!" Mari said brightly.

Fuli's expression softened.

She knelt down, and nuzzled Mari's cheek.

"Hi Mari" she said warmly.

Kion moved forward, and knelt to nuzzle Mari.

"Are you having a good day?" Kion asked.

Marigold nodded.

Meanwhile, Simba and Sarabi had met up at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Simba asked.

"It was fine." Sarabi answered.

She leaned over, and nuzzled Simba's cheek.

"I love you, Mom." Simba said.

"I love you too. I'm proud of you." Sarabi said.

"Thanks, Mom." Simba answered.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

"Midnight was attacked." Rafiki said.

Nita glanced up.

"Is she okay?" She asked.

Rafiki nodded.

"The Lion Guard saved her." He answered.

Nita sighed.

"Who attacked her?" She asked.

"I believe it was Janja's Clan." Rafiki said.

"That makes sense." Nita said darkly.
