Prelude

"One man goes into the waters of baptism. A different man comes out, born again. But who is that man who lies submerged? Perhaps that swimmer is both sinner and saint until he is revealed onto the eyes of man." – Zachary Hale Comstock

"There's always a lighthouse, there's always a man, there's always a city." - Elizabeth

You ever think about your life, and the choices you've made? More so, the choices you could have made? What would your life be like if you made just one little difference? Would your life be easier? Perhaps in one world you made all the right choices to live a very long, happy, successful life. Yet in another, you made some not so good choices that made your life much harder. And maybe, just maybe, there is a world so minutely different that you could search for decades and you would never find a difference yet even still, it is different enough to be classified as it's own unique world.

The story of the Lion Guard goes as so. Kion, son of the great King Simba, is the second born in the line of a royal family. He has been gifted with the power of the Roar of the Elders, and with the help of is friends they protect and serve the Pridelands. Together they are The Lion Guard. But, in this story, in this world... things are different...

For one, humans don't exist in this world. They never did and never will as a matter of fact. Instead animals have evolved to walk upright on two feet, just like us. They even have access to the same technology we have today. Cars, computers, medicines, career choices. All of them still there, just run by animals. Secondly, although characters in this universe may look and act like their TV show counterparts, not all characters will be the same. Some good guys might turn out to be villains, some villains may turn out to be good guys. Some characters might exist in this world where as in other worlds, they were never born. You get the gist?

Finally, don't think that any idea is a dumb idea. This story will have a mystery element incorporated to it, and it is your job to crack and solve that mystery. To put it rather plainly, don't expect things to be obvious. Your ideas and expectations will be flipped and morphed to become the most unexpected.
