I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING IN THIS. THE IDEAS MAY OR MAY NOT BE MINE BUT THE CHARACTERS, SETTINGS, AND OTHER STUFF BELONGS TO THEIR CORRESPONDING OWNERS
It was long ago that a loud roar, a powerful moment, an amazing whisper had changed the very world, but that roar had been silenced not too long after. But the one giving the roar, was not finished with his work. Using the wind and the leaves, he sent a message to all the wild denizens of the land, at that moment, new heir was born,
The giraffes were the first to receive the message, their long necks raised as they heard it, before they wandered towards the savanna plains. The elephants who were near the watering hole, soon heard it as well, and with soft trumpeting rumbles, they padded their way as well. The monkeys, snug in the trees, had stopped climbing, picking fleas, and their chattering to hear the message. Upon realizing what was said, they all leapt along the branches, hooting for the others to follow along.
One by one, each animal followed along, as one herd, one pride, one group, none of the predators attacked their prey and none of the prey were in fear of the predators. No biting, no fights, no killing, it was a peaceful day once more. A new celebration was to take place, a young okapi sensed this joy and leapt alongside his mother, letting out a bellow of delight as he trotted along. The elephants, large and powerful, walked alongside the rhinos with no urge to fight, raising their heads high to eagerly await the sun as they marched along.
Meanwhile at the base of a giant rock formation, a mandrill stood, having been the first to hear of the powerful message, he jubilantly waved his long and slender arms, chanting out, "Ubukhosi bo khokho, We ndodana ye sizwe sonke!''
As if he were talking directly to the sun, it rose up slowly, leaving a rich fire like color in the skies above, the animals all cried out in happiness, feeling the sun's warmth engulf their bodies. The birds happily soared in the air, chirping out to the animals to follow along. The antelopes, being the last to hear the message, soon followed in pursuit. All the animals followed one another, all heading for the same place, Pride Rock.
Like a father's gentle arm, the animals all gathered together at the base, Meanwhile, the mandrill, who was known as the wise and caring shaman Rafiki, looked up to the skies, seeing the face of his old friend, the former king of the Pridelands, Mufasa himself. Who in return gave a warm smile to Rafiki, as the sun shined brightly, the lion shared an embrace with the mandrill, using the leaves like a body. The mandrill, smiled as he allowed Mufasa to share it with the others as well.
The animals could sense the king and all bowed in respect, honoring his life in his death. One of the giraffes, who was near the watering hole, looked up to see a blur of blue feathers. It was the advisor, Zazu the hornbill, who was examining to see if the other beasts have arrived, before heading up to the rock. Rafiki chuckled, before hearing two familiar sounds, he turned to see his friends, King Simba and his beloved wife Queen Nala, approaching. He looked at them for a moment or two before reaching out his arms to give them both a hug.
In Nala's mouth was a small bundle of fur, which Rafiki picked up and smiled at with a toothy grin, it was their newborn, Kiara. who's tiny eyes blinked to see she was in the arms of a strange monkey, who was looking at her father and mother with a smile, "It's as if I was holding you all over again, Simba." Rafiki chuckled lightly, Simba smiled before turning his attention to Zazu, who proudly bowed before the king.
Rafiki uttered out a soft prayer as he repeated his actions from Simba's birth, it only took a swift motion as Rafiki lifted the cub towards the heavens, the animals below cried out in happiness, knowing it wasn't over yet.
In the heavens, Mufasa smiled, the day was indeed one for celebration, as he shined down upon Kiara, who unlike her father, watched the scene with amazement, joy, and happiness, She smiled as she watched the animals, blissfully unaware of what they were doing and why, just enjoying the welcoming sensation she felt all over her golden pelt
Not a few feet away, the Lion King smiled, 'I wonder if what I'm feeling now...is what my father felt back then?' Simba smiled gently, Before feeling his father's embrace, he shifted his head to and fro, purring as his father's love was around him. Nala, on the other hand, simply smiled, enjoying the sensation but keeping her happiness in a calm fashion
Mufasa decided to at least have one moment with his granddaughter, the wind picking up as he began to use the leaves and wind to play with Kiara, who eagerly swatted at them in the same way Simba had played with the fruit on Rafiki's staff so many years ago.
Looking up, due to feeling the cub wiggling in his hands, the mandrill smiled, tightening his grip as he moved Kiara for all to see, the animals began to cry out, thrashing their bodies in pure jubilee, the monkeys leapt on top of the heads and backs of the smiling rhinos, the okapi and onyxes all bowed, the antelopes thrashed happily in the waters, kicking and rearing their thrashing legs in happiness.
Two mighty elephants trumpeted loudly, rearing their column like legs in the air before slamming them down to the soil, the doves nearby all flew up, flying past the summit of Pride Rock. Where Simba, Nala, Rafiki, Kiara, and the comical duo. who had befriended and saved Simba when he was a cub, Timon and Pumbaa, all stood happily.
Rafiki turned around, placing the mark of royal blood onto Kiara's head, she blinked at the cool sensation, but didn't have time to response as Nala and Simba both nuzzled her gently, welcoming her to the great Circle of Life.
Timon, looking on with happiness, nudged Pumbaa affectionately, "Ah..Pumbaa, look at that little guy. A chip off the ol' block!" He moved his arm in a flexing motion, showing what was his slender arm as if it were muscles, "And ya gotta know who's gonna raise 'im…" Pumbaa, being simple minded, raised a brow at the meerkat, "His parents?" He asked. Timon, feeling the joy of the new heir's birth, decided not to tell his friend off,
"Okay, sure get technical, but who's gonna teach 'im the real important stuff." He leapt to Pumbaa's nose, "Like how to belch.." Timon let out a loud, rattle-like belch, "And dig for grubs." He lept to the ground, smiling wide at the idea of having a new member of 'Hakuna Matata' to do stuff with, "I'm tellin' ya buddy, it's gonna be like old times. You, me and th' little guy." He smiled
Rafiki chuckled at the duo's antics, "It is a girl…" He muttered, the parents smiling all the while. "Girl…" Timon smiled, before realizing that the plan was shot to sunrise, "GIRL?!...OY!" The duo fainted dramatically, Simba, Nala and Rafiki all shared a laugh before heading inside the cave.
