Chapter 33
Animals gathered from far and near on their way to Pride Rock. They are ready to witness the new princess of the Pride Lands. They knew the Princess would be an excellent ruler considering the fact that she come from the blood line of one of the greatest rulers of the Pride Lands. Simba and Mufasa. At the top of Pride Rock's peek, stood Rafiki, with the princess in his hands. Mufasa was in the clouds. He looked down on his new great granddaughter and carried the same smile he had the day Kiara was presented. Once the young princess was thrust into the air, the animals below roared, barked, stomped, and cheered and at the sight of their new princess. Kiara didn't name the cub the day she was born. She was still deciding. And at the moment the perfect name for her new daughter came to her. Her name is now Faith because that is what Kiara always had. After the ceremony, Kiara and went inside the den to rest with her cub.
"Wow, I can't believe I have a daughter. She is so beautiful."
Faith looked like her mother but had Kovu's eye color. She had slight bangs, but not as long as her cousin Shanni's. Although her eyes were green as her father's, she was still royalty. As Kiara bathed her daughter, Adin came in and sat down in front of his mother and new sister.
"Mom, if Faith is royalty, why does she have dad's eye color?" he asked as he looked at his sister.
Kiara wondered the same thing but did not know the answer.
"Maybe because she has more of your father's genies than mine. To be honest Adin, I'm not really sure."
She looked at her daughter than back at her son.
"Ok son, go find your friends and ask them if they would like to see your sister."
Kiara looked at her new daughter and smiled.
"Ok mom. Be back soon. Bye."
Adin walked out of the den and left to find his friends. He got to the watering hole and didn't see his friends. He then spotted them at a nearby tree. He trotted over there.
"Hey guys. My mom wanted to know if you wanted to see the new cub. Do any of you want to?" he asked.
The girls looked at each other and said, "We do."
Adin nodded then turned to his other friends.
"Guys, you want to?"
The guys then nodded yes and stood. As the eight adolescents walked back home, Faith was beginning to walk around the den with her mother at her side. Faith fell a few times, but she soon got the hang of walking. When Kiara and sat down to relax, Faith and was still walking around the den. She walked over to her grandmother Nala, who was half asleep. Nala noticed her granddaughter and welcomed her.
"Well hello my darling granddaughter. How are you today?"
Although Faith wasn't able to speak yet, she smiled. Simba and Kovu walked in the den at that time. Nala turned her head to notice them. Simba walked towards Nala and Faith.
"Well looks like Faith is learning how to walk."
Kiara then walked to get Faith so that she was able to nurse her, and then put her daughter to sleep. The day was short so everyone turned in. Every lion and lionesses were all now fast asleep.
