The new being known as Simbard, Gladiator of the Twelth Commonwealth of Clifford, who had formerly been known as Simba, a lowly lion, soared high in the sky on his magnificent golden wings. He surveyed his pitiful domain, the Pridelands, and saw all was well.
He did several magnificent loops in the air as praise to his Almighty Lord Clifford, and the sun's rays beat down harshly on the Pridelands, filling Simbard with joy to know he was pleasing his Lord Clifford.
