: The Lion King: Cycles end

The epic final chapter in the circle of life

"Story inspired and based off The Lion King II Simba's pride" (Additional writing credit to Flip Kobler and Cindy Marcus the inspired minds who brought the original Script of The Lion King II Simba's pride)

"The following story you are about to read is an expanded rewritten version of the lion king Simba's pride as such while there will be several rewrites to the story there will also be some scenes directly lifted and adapted from the film mostly during the first few chapters. Also Cycles end serves as the grand finale of everything that has happened since Tale of Brothers and as such will have several call backs and even connections to all the previous stories as well as the original film. This is not a self contained story if you have not read my previous stories do so before starting this one or you will be lost. Hope you enjoy the final conclusion of the legacy of Brothers.

"Second note, holy crap how the heck did that happen for anyone reading this right now I apologies for the massive error for whatever the reason chapter 11 of this story was replaced with chapter 13 of Fall of the Pride Lands how I have no idea I tried to correct it and I believe I have if it's still there inform me so I can take care of the problem hopefully now you can properly enjoy the story sorry for the error man how did that happen"

: Prologue:

He lives in you

It was an early day in the pride lands all the animals of the prides were gathering to pride rock for a special occasion none had suspected. The gathered from all around the meadows, the mountains, the gorge, the water hole, all animals from all sides had gathered to pride rock, for on this day the king and queen Simba and Nala had given birth to a second child a daughter.

Rafiki stood high above them all, signaling all for the ceremony. The sun was rising and wind blew with a grace as if it had a life of its own, which it did. Rafiki could feel the presence of his old friend and former king Mufasa, all the animals sensed him as well they bowed respectfully though they could not see it Mufasa smiled thanking them for their respect, high above Rafiki was preparing the princess whom Simba and Nala had called Kiara he placed a mark on her forehead showing her royal heritage and carried her out. Rafiki carried Kiara to the edge of pride rock and held her high over it the animals all cheered rejoicing the princess, as this was happening Kopa the cub's older brother watched he felt something strong in his sister though he was much too young to understand it but it would become clear in time.

Years later, It was a sad day in the pride lands an eerie gloom hung over the entire kingdom a sense of loss surrounded all, none would miss this occasion, they had lost someone special, prince Kopa. All stood in memory of the prince the kindest cub ever, the cub who fell in love. Simba and Nala stood on pride rock looking at the stone statue forged in their sons memory, sadness filled their hearts at the sight of it yet so did pride at the being their son had become, they wanted to wait longer but they couldn't any longer, Kiara must take her place as Kopa's successor, they gestured her to come out of the den.

Kiara emerged from the cave a nervous expression on her face she was not ready to take Kopa's place, she wasn't sure she ever would be. She moved slowly seeing all the animals below her, she couldn't go out there and face them she wasn't ready. A brisk of wind brushed her Kiara could feel it tugging her almost playfully, for a moment the wind took the form of a lion cub shadow and playfully pushed her out. Kiara felt herself tumble on the ground but couldn't help but smile, she knew it was her brother he was their just as he had promised. Kiara felt her confidence renewed and stood before the pride, they all roared and cheered in her honor she felt the wind brisling around her, her parents closed their eyes and let it surround them.

Kopa watched from the sky smiling down at his family, Kiara embraced the wind a smile on her face, with but a gesture of his paw the sorrowful atmosphere emitted a glowing light from the sky that enveloped the princess, the pride erupted into cheers all immediately sensing the presence of the prince he smiled down on all of them.

Kiara stood on top of pride rock hearing the cheers sensing her grandfather and brother she gestured to her parents who nodded they stood alongside their daughter, the three of them stared down at the pride and with that all three of them let out a roar, a new era had begun one that would learn from the old and forge a better one, they had no idea how right they were, this day would mark the beginning, the beginning of the end of a cycle that had defined the pride lands for decades, and what Kiara didn't know was that she would be one of the main ones who would determine how it all ends. She would either free them all from hatred and pain or condemn them to a never ending cycle of blood and death.
