King Kovu and Queen Kiara were watching the sunrise but Kovu noticed a touch of sadness in his mate's features.
Kovu: Are you alright?
Kiara: I guess. It's just been hard. 6 years ago, Kion left before sunrise without a word to anyone and no knows where he went or why.
Kovu: You know, 6 years ago, I got up a little bit before sunrise and I saw Kion in the Outlands. Though I never found out why.
Kiara: Then let's go see if we can find a clue there.
Kovu: Alright.
Kovu and Kiara ran for the Outlands and Kovu went to where he saw Kion last and headed in that direction. They stopped immediately upon seeing vegetation, herbivores, and Jasiri directing the hunting.
Kiara: Since when does the Outlands look like this?
Kovu: I have no idea.
Jasiri: Since Kion did it.
Kovu and Kiara jumped at Jasiri's voice.
Kiara: Jasiri. You scared us.
Jasiri: Sorry. Didn't mean to.
Kovu: What do you mean "Kion did it"? I thought no one heard from him for 6 years.
Jasiri: And I haven't it. 6 years ago, I found a message just on the boundary of my territory and it smelled like Kion was around there. The message said that I was going to be in charge of directing the hunting and I had no clue what he meant until all this happened.
Kiara: That explains no attacks from the Outlanders other than Zira for the past 6 years.
Jasiri: Well I better get back to it.
Kovu: And we better head back to the Pride Lands.
They split and went their own ways to do what they need to do.
