The Lion Guard: Grieving for Koda

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Nyani Grove.

"How's Basi?" Kion asked.

"He's fine." Beshte 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.

"Great job, Ono." Beshte said.

Meanwhile, Zuri had met up with Chumvi and Kula inside the den.

They were settled down amongst the moss.

“How was the hunt, Mom?” Zuri asked.

“It was fine.” Kula answered.

She and Chumvi watched Zuri sigh, and glance down at her paws.

“How are you feeling today?” Chumvi asked.

“It’s really hard. I miss him so much.” Zuri said.

Kula’s expression softened.

“Your father and I miss him too.” Kula said.

She leaned over, and nuzzled Zuri’s cheek.

“We’re very proud of you, Zuri.” Chumvi said.

He extended a paw, and Zuri nestled against him.

“I love you both.” Zuri said.

“We love you too, my darling.” Kula said.

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

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Simba asked.

"It was fine." Nala answered.

She leaned over, and nuzzled Simba’s cheek.

“Chumvi and Kula are with Zuri today.” Nala said.

Simba nodded.

“I’m very glad she has them to support her in her grief.” Simba said.

“I am too.” Nala said.
