It was months later that Boipelo was born, son of Kiara and Kovu. He was much like Simba...mischevious and playful, yet still extremely brave. However, he looked much like his father.
Rafiki, as always, held the child outward before the kingdom, whom praised him with noise. He kicked playfully at a butterfly that fluttered in front of him; but unwelcome eyes viewed the ceremony in utter disgust.
Zira, whom had finally risen to go home, stopped to see what the kingdom had become. Nothing had changed, except yet another heir to do away with. She turned to walk towards the outlands, stomping in anger and snarling. More? More?! This Boipelo would ruin any plan she had of winning the Pridelands.
However, back near Pride Rock, the wildlife hailed a future king, his parents and grandparents. The world seemed to harmonize with the noise, wind blowing at such speed Simba thought of his father. Once again, he was reminded of the circle of life...but another cub was to be presented. Dayo, daughter of Vitani, was also of importance. If seven lions throughout the monarchy were to drop dead, it was her role to rule.
So, as a new custom, two young ones were presented to the kingdom that day.
"Boipelo...what kind of name is that?" Timon muttered, seated on a rock.
"I always thought it meant 'pride of a nation' in Tswana." said Pumbaa.
"Don't be silly. It means 'born feet first'"
"Pride of a nation."
"Born feet first!"
The two argued about this for quite some time.
