Prologue
The queen were sunbathing behind her favorite acacia tree.
The sun were shining in her pelt…everything in the savanna were glowing, but her heart were sinking in worry….
-Poor brave Sarabi… - she sighed – I'm sure you are happy now, you are with Mufasa at last, but your son is not the same… he lives trough melancholy…Any way, I know is natural, your absence is still new for us…-
In deed, the mother queen died not too long time ago, since then King Simba were more than obviously sad, and that were worrying his mate.
She cannot avoid to think in her own mother, Sarafina were only a few months younger than the former queen, maybe her hour were closer every day…
Nala close her eyes in fear and worry… life were going too fast…
Suddenly a soft voice called her out of hers thoughts: -Mommy??- Mhhhhh???- she answer, smiling in delight at the sound of her full grown daughter- Mom…I need a word with you…a private one…- Oh!!! Come here Kiara, nobody is around…
