Children of Simba
"Sire!" Zazu called as he landed on a nearby rock, just outside the cave.
"What is it Zazu?" Kovu asked as he emerged from the darkness of the cave.
"Two lions, one male and one female are heading toward Pride Rock." Zazu explained.
"Do they seem friendly?" Kovu asked.
"I couldn't make out their intentions based on their body movements. They didn't seem like they were ready to hunt, or even very muscular. They look like young adults, near their prime but don't seem to be much of a threat due to their overall size." Zazu explained.
Kovu walked out on to the promotory looking out across the Pridelands.
"They are in that direction sire." Zazu said as he flew up pointing in their direction.
"I see them. They look hungry, and their coming in this direction yet I don't want them in Pride Rock's vicinity until we know who and what they are." Kovu said.
"What shall I do sire?" Zazu asked.
"Keep vigilance. I will gather whatever pride members that are still here." Kovu ordered.
"Shall I also get the rest of the Pride?" Zazu asked.
"No, they are off hunting. We need a the food and I would rather they hunt and find the things that keep us sustained than starve. I don't want to spread the pride out to thinly, if something happens I want to fall back and regroup with the other members of the pride. We have too many conflicts over this kingdom from outside and from within, I will not allow this land to be flooded with ferternal blood any longer." Kovu explained.
"Yes Sire." Zazu answered.

"Well there it is." Atra said as he made his way up to the top of a hill.
"My I never thought I would see a structure that imposing on this side of the desert." Dana beamed.
It was Pride Rock.
It towered over the rest of the plains like some great symbol of power and direction. It's hugh creavece pointed upwards toward the heavens and the promotory rock pointing outward.
"I don't think there are any words that I can say to do it justice." Atra remarked.
"It stands so finely too...high and alone." Dana added.
"So this is our father's home." Atra said.
"The land looks wide open....beautiful." Dana observed.
"Remember when mom used to tell us stories about this place when we were cubs?" Atra said.
"Yeah, this were the Civil War between the prides took place...including Scar's rein which shattered this place." Dana said as she looked across the wide expanse.
"Is that where the king sits?" Dana said pointing to the rock jutting outward from Pride Rock.
"I think so. Hey I think I see him." Atra said.
They saw a figure which looked like a male lion looking out across the lands.
"Is that Simba?" Dana asked.
Atra looked hard but couldn't quite make out the figure from the distance.
"I don't know...." Atra replied.
"Well...lets go find out then. Remember mother may not have much time, and Simba may be the only one who knows where that monkey is." Dana said.
"You mean Rafiki....I remember mother saying that he was a crazy Baboon who believed in a magical place called Upendi." Atra replied.
"Do you think that's where he is? In Upendi?" Dana asked.
"In Upendi...I don't know...maybe that lion knows where it is." Atra said.
"Well if he is in Upendi lets hope its not too far away. Traveling through that desert was hell." Dana remarked.
"Yeah, I'll agree with you on that." Atra replied.
"Oh well, lets get going." Dana said.
They then started off toward Pride Rock.
