Rafiki cleared his throat.

"Prince Mufasa, do you promise to protect and care for all that you rule over until the end of your reign?" He asked.

Mufasa inclined his head.

"I solemnly promise so to do" he said.

Rafiki's expression softened, and he placed his palm on Mufasa's shoulder.

"Then I now anoint you as King Mufasa of the Pridelands" he said warmly.

He embraced Mufasa, and gestured towards the Peak.

"Now, you must roar, and then deliver your speech" he said.

Mufasa nodded, and padded forward.

From his place nestled in Shari's paws, Simba stirred.

"When will this be over, Granny?" He asked.

Shari rubbed her paw against his cheek.

"Shh. It's almost over" she said quietly.

She and Uru exchanged a glance.

They watched Mufasa roar.

"Do you know where Scar is?" Uru asked.

Shari shook her head.

"He told me he was going hunting, but he'd be back for the ceremony" she said.

Uru sighed.

"Ahadi will have to speak with him" she said.

Rafiki placed his palm on Sarabi's shoulder.

"Princess Sarabi, do you promise to protect and care for all that you rule over, and to also provide support and strength to your mate as his loyal consort?" He asked.

Sarabi nodded.

Rafiki's expression softened, and he pressed his muzzle against Sarabi's shoulder.

"I now anoint you as Queen Sarabi of the Pridelands" he said.

Sarabi inclined her head, and moved to stand beside Mufasa.

Shari leaned over to whisper into Uru's ear.

"We need to join them now" she said.

Uru nodded.

"Come along, Simba. Let's join your parents" she said brightly.

"But shouldn't I be anointed too, Grandma?" Simba asked.

Shari chuckled.

"Darling, you were anointed at your presentation" she said.

"But that was when Yeh-Yeh reigned" he said.

Uru rubbed a paw against his cheek.

"You needn't be anointed again" she said.

She stood up, and nudged Simba to his paws.

Shari watched them pad up to Mufasa, before turning to Ahadi, who was behind her.

"Help your mother up, darling" she said.

Ahadi nodded.

"Of course, Mother" he said.

He moved forward, and gently nudged Shari to her paws.

They moved to stand beside Mufasa.
