Working on two different stories at the same time, so please R&R The Coming of Meersha as well.
Note: The Lion King was created by Disney and is not owned by me, as well as the original The Lion King II: Simba's Pride and The Lion King 1 1/2: Timon and Pumbaa's Story. The characters Mufasa, Scar (Taka), Sarabi, Simba, Nala, Sarafina, Zazu, Rafiki, Ed, Bonzai, Shenzi, Timon, Pumbaa, Zira, Nuka, Vitani, Kovu and even Kopa and Pimbi have also been created by Disney. This story however, was created by me...obviously.

THE PRESENATION
Today was a special day. Several animals rushed through the beautiful lands called the Pridelands. Elephants, zebras, giraffes, ostiches, antelope, hippos, gazelles, cheetahs, dholes, okapis, leapards, birds, rodents, reptiles and many more were making their way to the great kingdom of rock in the south, which towered into the dark sky.
At Pride Rock, just as the sun began to climb, Rafiki was at its outcrop, motioning the excited animals closer. Soon, he turned to go get the new cub, just as the new King and Queen stepped up to the tip of the peak, gazing down in awe at all their loyal subjects, who were now cheering and crying out happily. A meerkat sat upon a warthog, lifting his arms, hands clasped at the fame as he shook them. Yet this special ceremony really wasn't for him - for any of them but the new arrival. The majordomo flew above the rulers along with a flock of white birds, before he landed to bow respectfully in front of them.
Then, as the crying went on, Simba and Nala seperated to let the shaman between them. Rafiki smiled at them all, a bundle of golden and lightly spotted fur resting in his arms. That's when the baboon carefully lifted the cub into the sky. As the clouds seperated to bathe the young one in its warm light and glory, the cheering was even louder as the animals stomped the ground and splashed in any near puddles. The cub just blinked questioningly at it all.
This, was the new prince of Pride Rock...and the future lion king.
