Though there are many groups of animals and humans they all come to the respects of a group of humans that live in Pride Rock where the King Edward or Ed as he likes to be called lives with his wife Elizabeth. They have sent announcement to meet at Pride Rock at the strike of dawn. All around the animals wake up and begin to walk to the along with the human groups.
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life
King Ed was standing at the top of his home. His crazy brown hair with green eyes sparkling in the sun, a woman with brown with hints of caramel in her hair (A/N: Everyone was wearing animal skins that they have made into clothing). Esme the king's loyal servant bowed to him and he nodded and smiled letting her know that she was welcome. Just then the crowed split to let through Carlisle the crazy wise mystical shaman also the king's adviser. The older man walked to the king. His blond hair was shining in the sun giving off a glow with his blue eyes held so much wisdom and years he walked up the path of rocks with his stick. Ed smiles and hugs his old friend. He leads Carlisle to a woman with bronze like hair and a deeper color of green eyes. Elizabeth was sitting with a child in her arms. Ed walks up to his wife, kisses her, and wraps his arms around her waist. Elizabeth reveals a beautiful baby boy with a small patch of bronze hair and bright green eyes. Carlisle smiles at him and waves his stick that has some fruit on it. The baby brings his hand up to grab it. Carlisle cracks a piece of fruit he put some fruit juice on his forehead picks up some sand and sprinkles it around the baby. The baby sneezes, and his parents smile and chuckle. Once he is done marking the child as royalty he collects the child in his arms and walks outside. He walks over to the top of pride rock and presents the world to Edward the young prince. Everyone goes crazy with cheers and clapping the animals all make noises as his parents come up also. A patch of sun comes out from the clouds and highlights the young newborn. All the humans and animals bow in honor of the new prince
It's the Circle of Life

In a small hut on Pride Rock, a mouse comes of a little hole. It sniffs around and suddenly becomes frighten but before it could escape, a hand came upon it. A man with blond hair and bluish greenish eyes. He looked at the mouse and began his speech
"Life's not fair, is it? You see I - well, I... shall never be King."
He exhale lightly before continuing}
"And you... shall never see the light of another day.
He laughed with his mouth close he Started to place the mouse on his extended tongue..
"Adieu..."
"Didn't your mother every tell you not to play with your food"
Someone interrupted him. He turned to see Esme right behind him. He sighed
"What do you want?"
She bowed
"I'm here to announce that king Ed is on his way… so you better have a good excuse for missing the ceremony this morning."
The mouse escaped his grasp
"Look Esme you made me lose my lunch."
"You'll lose more than that when the king gets through with you… he's as mad with a hippo with a hernia."
"Oh… I quiver in FEAR."
He starts to stake towards her as if she was pray. She became very concerned with her own safety.
"James don't look at me like that…HELP"
He grabs her wrist but was interrupted by a voice
"James!"
King Ed's voice came from the entrance of the cave.
"Let her go"
James reluctantly let Esme go and she stood at the side of the King trying to be as far away from James as possible.
"Why! If it isn't my big brother descending from on high to mingle with the commoners"
James said sarcastically at Ed
"Elizabeth and I didn't see you at the presentation of Edward"
Ed said to him. James faked his surprised and shock
"That was today oh how simply awful"
He scraped his claw like nails along the cave walls making an awful noise that disturbed Esme. He looked at his nails
"Must have slipped my mind"
Esme came forward at James
"Yes, well, as slippery as your mind is, as the king's brother, you should have been first in line!"
He pretended to bit her and she ran back behind Ed
"Well, I was first in line... until the little brat was born."
Ed said getting more frustrated at his brother he lowered his face to look at his brother in the eye
"That brat is my son and your future king"
James rolled his eyes at Ed
"Ohh, I shall practice my curtsy"
He said then turned to the exit. Ed growled
"Don't' turn your back on me James"
He warned James who was still going out for the exit he looked back at Ed
"Oh no Ed perhaps you shouldn't turn your back on me"
King Ed growled and ran to face his brother baring his teeth at him.
"Temper, temper. I wouldn't dream of challenging you."
"Pity… why not"
Esme said coming up behind King Ed
"Well when it comes to brains I got the lion share…when it comes to brute strength I'm afraid I'm on the shallow end of the gene pool"
James headed for the exit and left. Ed sighed and gripped the bridge of his nose
"There's one in every family, sire... Two in mine, actually. And they always manage to ruin special occasions."
She put her hand on his shoulder. He shakes his head and sighed again.
"What am I going to do with him"
"Well we could always give him to the cannibals"
"Esme"
"What it was just a suggestion."
She put her hand up in mock surrender
They leave James' hut and return to the main home
In an area far from Pride Rock in a hut. The rain surrounded the tree house home inside Carlisle was painting a picture of Edward the young prince. He chuckled and put the mark of royalty on his forehead
"Edward… I have a good feeling about you."
