Many moons passed and the lions of Kula found themselves wishing for water and any Buffalo sighting cause they were left hungry. It was the terrestrial rainy season and the rivers chased away the herd.

"This land is flooding. We won't survive!" Said one lioness named Rina.

"Listen to 'me' and you all will make it!"

Nala's head fell on her paws, thinking about Kula. "Her again," asked Kubia. She became the Pride's sentry as the old one left.

"Don't worry. We all favor Kiara."

"I just don't understand, Kubi! She knew they were good and they are under Simba's law!"

"Do 'NOT' let her get to you. That is what she is after."

"I. Will. Stop. Her! If she hurts Kiara...!"

She growled.

"And I will protect my mate," said Kovu.

He too was listening and his eyes flashed.

Rashina was making her way to the Pride Lands. She was the niece of Rafiki as he was passing. She came to be their new Shaman and to say one final goodbye to her uncle.
