The Lion Guard: King Sokwe's Visit

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was spending time together at the Lair.

"Mom and Dad told me that King Sokwe's visiting them today" Kion said.

"Who's he?" Bunga asked.

"He's the ruler of a group of gorillas that live in the Theluji Mountains. He has two sons that are around Beshte's age" Kion explained.

Suddenly, Kiara appeared at the entrance to the den.

Kion glanced up.

"Hi, Kiara" he said brightly.

"Hi, Mom and Daddy want you to join them" Kiara said.

"Why?" Kion asked.

"Sokwe's here, Daddy wants you to greet him" Kiara explained.

Kion nodded, and stood up.

He turned to his friends.

"You can all go home" he said.

He followed Kiara out of the Lair, and they walked to the Peak.

"When did he arrive?" Kion asked.

"Just a few heartbeats ago" Kiara answered.

When they reached the Peak, Kiara inclined her head respectfully towards Sokwe.

She nudged Kion's side pointedly.

Kion nodded.

"Greetings Sokwe, I expect your travel was pleasant?" He said.

Sokwe nodded.

"You've certainly grown since my previous visit. Simba tells me you've become the Leader of the Lion Guard." He said.

"That's right." Kion said.

Sokwe turned to Simba.

"Shall we renew our treaty?" He asked.

Simba inclined his head.

"My heir would like to witness this" he said.

"That is perfectly acceptable." Sokwe said.

Kiara bent her head to nuzzle Kion's cheek, before following Sokwe and Simba inside.

Kion turned to Nala.

"I love you Mom" he said.

"I love you too" Nala answered.
