Out on the pride lands, a new day was breaking, as the golden sun slowly crept its way into the awaiting sky. Animals of all kinds were gathering around the base of Pride Rock, eagerly awaiting their next King or Queen. An old wise baboon appeared holding a small animal, behind him stood a proud lion with tan fur and a dark brown main. A beautiful lioness with a cream color coat and gentle smile stood next to the lion. As the excited crowd simmered down, the small animal, a cub, was raised into the morning sun, catching its ray's making the light cream fur turn golden. Cheers and bows of all the animals erupted in the waves of joy and proud for the cub. The next Queen.
"Daddy, daddy wake up!" I pounce on him to wake him from his peaceful slumber. "Oh Lily go back to sleep, the suns not even up!" "But dad you promised me and you said the kings and queens don't break their promise!" I pout and give him my saddest face I can make. "Simba you did promise your daughter to take her, and I expect that a wise king never breaks promises to his daughter" my mother says for waking up from the noise. "Yes Nala I guess you're right." He laughs. "Lily give me five minutes then I will meet you outside." "Yay thank you, thank you, thank you daddy! And you to mom!" I nuzzle both of my parents and run outside of our den.
The dawn sky was perfectly clear with little shiny stars waiting for the sun to pop up. "Follow me my little one." I follow my dad climbing up to the top of Pride Rock. "Wow it's so high up here!" my voice shakes a little from the height. The view is so large I feel like I can see the whole world from here. Suddenly the bright light burst into the sky turn the scene golden. "Wow" I say in awe. "This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!" I look at the wise king and he chuckles at me. "My dear princess this will all be yours. Everything that the light touches is part of the cycle of life. Now you must learn how to control it so everyone in the cycle will corporate. If something bad happens the cycle it will fail and all of this you see out here will die." "Gosh dad that's a lot to take in." I look away from him. "What if I do mess everything up? I'm not very good at this stuff. I'm not wise or brave and I'm certainly not a very good leader." I look back at him. "I'm not like you dad." His golden eyes gleam of wisdom. "Lily you are my daughter and I do know you very well. You will be the greatest queen any animal will see. And once you get older you will understand the responsibilities. And I promise you that I will be by you side helping you whenever you need it." He nuzzles my head. "You may not look like me but you remind me of myself when I was your age." I give him a huge smile and nuzzle his paw. "Thank you dad."
