. . . . .
Deep in Prehistoric Times, in a house in a prehistoric suburban neighborhood, the home of the Sinclairs. The family was gathered around the Living Room, waiting out the storm.
"I'm bored!" exclaimed Baby Sinclair.
"We all do, Baby, wish there was something we could do," replied Fran.
"Too bad the TV is broken?" added Robbie
"Yeah, and it's raining to be outside," added Charlene.
"I got an idea, how about a story?" explained Earl.
"Yay! Story!" exclaimed Baby. "I wanna hear it!"
Earl brought out a book from the shelf with the title as he sat in his chair. "This Story is called the Dinosaur King."
"The Dinosaur King? That sounds interesting?" Robbie asked with curiosity.
"It's true, the T. rex is the King of the Dinosaurs?" Charlene added.
"I never heard that story in my life," Ethyl said in boredom.
"I wanna hear the story?!" exclaimed Baby.
"I think it's a great story due to its themes and a good message, Earl, and it's the best way to pass the time," replied Fran.
"Okay, now, The Story starts like this," as Earl sits down on the chair as the family gathers around he opens the book and reads, "It began 66 Million Years ago before we existed, and before Dinosaurs moved into Houses and Raised Children, Before the Time they lived in the Forest and Ate their Children, and it's the story of a young T. rex who would be King named Tristan."
. . . . .
Sixty-six million years ago, in an Alternative Earth in a time when ancient lizards called Dinosaurs from different Periods still roamed, there was a great belief called the Circle of Life. It was said that all living creatures, from the smallest mammal to the largest reptile, were all connected in a delicate balance that exists altogether. When one single living creature dies, it becomes one of nature itself that herbivores feed upon, thus connecting them all to the Circle of Life. In these ancient lands, there were thriving kingdoms, each one ruled by a single royal family. A long time ago, one valley became a new kingdom when a wandering herd stumbled upon it and all made it their new home. But it wasn't only their home, it was also their new nesting ground. For which, it was their only reason to make the place their home, to nest and breed newborns. The kingdom has been known as Dinosauria ever since. One royal family has ruled the kingdom for many generations. A single carnivore family. A species known as Tyrannosaurus rex. When a king passes away, an heir takes his place as a new king. Although carnivores lived in their kingdom, there was a law. No carnivore must ever harm any member of a king's family. For if any heir dies, there will be no more to rule, and the balance of the kingdom will fall. The carnivores respected the law and were willing to help the king and his family in any danger that appeared. And in return, they are free to hunt the herbivores, connecting them to the Circle of Life. For all kingdoms have these hunters that respect all living things.
A sunrise began to rise over a mountain range that surrounded the entire valley. Then out of nowhere, a roar of the king fills the sky with its sound, thus calling all of the dinosaurs and mammals to Dino Rock, where the king and his family reside. Then a Male Singer and Background Chorus Singers were heard as they sang.
Male Singer: Nants ingonyama bagithi baba [Here comes a lion, Father]
Chorus: Sithi uhm ingonyama [Oh yes, it's a lion]
Soon every Dinosaur and Prehistoric Creature in the Valley lifted their heads up to answer the Chant. A Sinoceratops raises its head to the calling, a herd of Parasaurolophus picked their heads up, a flock of small carnivorous dinosaurs called Compsognathus runs up a hill and looks over the horizon, and a large Raptor called a Utahraptor walks on top of a large fallen log and also looks over the horizon.
Male Singer: Nants ingonyama bagithi baba [Here comes a lion, Father]
Chorus: Sithi uhm ingonyama [Oh yes, it's a lion]
A Flock of Quetzalcoatlus waded in a marsh as they looked up before taking off to the skies. Soon, other Dinosaurs, Pterosaurs, and other Prehistoric Animals began to take notice, and they all knew what the chant meant: the newborn prince had been born, and the animals should go and pay their respects to the new protector of the Circle of Life.
Chorus: Ingonyama [A lion]
Male Singer: Siyo Nqoba [We're going to conquer]
Chorus: Ingonyama [A lion]
Avian Birds and Pterosaurs fly over the ocean as they fly to Dino Rock while Marine Reptiles and Prehistoric Ocean Animals swim below. Flocks of Pteranodons, Nyctosaurus, and Pterodaustros flew over a Floodplain as they flew to the place. A herd of Sauropods consisting of Brachiosaurus, Jainosaurus, Argentinosaurus, Apatosaurus, Alamosaurus, Diplodocus, and Camarasaurus were moving to Dino Rock as the rising sunlight lightened the mountain range as they walked by with Pterosaurs flying above them. As the sun rose, Silhouette flocks of Struthiomimus, Gallimimus, Ornithomimus, Dryosaurus, Nanosaurus, Thescelosaurus, and Archaoeornithomimus bounded and ran across the plains.
Chorus: Ingonyama nengw' enamabaa [A lion and a leopard come to this open place.]
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (se-to-kwa!)
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (asana)
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (se-to-kwa!)
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (se-to-kwa!)
A Pair of Brontosauruses, an Adult Female, and a Young Juvenile were walking up a Hill. The Young Sauropod was closing its eyes due to the sun hitting its eyes as the Sauropods both paused as they looked over the horizon to see herds of Dinosaurs heading to a special place where the chant was calling them to come.
Female Singer: From the day we arrive on the planet
And, blinking, step into the sun
The herd was mostly of Dreadnoughtus, Brachiosaurus, Apatosaurus, Brontosaurus, Diplodocus, Iguanodon, Parasaurolophus, Charonosaurus, Corythosaurus, Tsintaosaurus, Iguanodon, Stegosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Euoplocephalus, Triceratops, Torosaurus, Sinoceratops, Nasutoceratops, Pachyrhinosaurus, Gallimimus, Struthiomimus, and Pachycephalosaurus moving towards Dino Rock, the mother, and child rush over to join them. Meanwhile, A Colony of Ceratomyrmex or Horned Ants crawled on a Tree Branch below them was a moving herd of Parasaurolophus, Corythosaurus, Lambeosaurus, Ouranosaurus, Tstintaosaurus, Maiasaura, Olorotitan, Edmontosaurus, and Iguanodon.
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
A flock of Graciliceratops were running in the path of a herd of Triceratops. A Graciliceratops quickly moved out of the way before the Ceratopsid's foot stomped on it.
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
Then a herd of Maiasauras was seen galloping through a river joined by a pair of Brachiosaurus, herds of Parasaurolophus and Centrosaurus. The Dinosaurs and semi-aquatic animals like Crocodiles like Deinosuchus and Sarcosuchus got out of the water. Small animals like birds, small reptiles, pterosaurs, amphibians, bugs, and mammals were seen perched on the head and frill of a Styracosaurus including Avisaurus, Alexornis, Ichthyornis, Falcatakely, Chamops, Obamadon, Palaeosaniwa, Pterodactylus, Dimorphodon, Rhamphorhynchus, Scapherpeton, Limnogramma, Sophogramma, Cretapsara, Caterpillar, Didelphodon, Castorocauda, Repenomamus, Meniscoessus, Alphadon, Cimolestes, and Volaticotherium. The gathering at Dino Rock to honor the new prince was always considered a joyous occasion since it was one of the few times when you could find herbivores and carnivores in the same place and not either run away or hunt one another.
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round
All the creatures soon reached the place, a huge castle-like Mountain named Dino Rock, where the event was about to begin: a newborn prince was born as dinosaurs of herbivores and carnivores from the entire valley moved towards it. An Archaeopteryx named Anton, the King's Advisor, was flying overhead towards Dino Rock where we see the king, a Male Tyrannosaurus rex known as King Scott or Scotty standing on a rock ledge looking over the valley. When the Archaeopteryx flies and lands in front of the King, he bows to him. The Theropod smiles and nods at him.
It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Soon the Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Creatures noticed someone coming to Dino Rock and let him pass. Among them were the Torosaurus, Einiosaurus, Sauroposiedon, Brontosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Edmontosaurus, Lambeosaurus, Dryosaurus, Therizinosaurus, Deinocheirus, Ornithomimus, Ceratosaurus, Carnotaurus, Allosaurus, Compsognathus, Aquilops, and Ornitholestes as they made a path for a Wise Old Dilophosaurus shaman with a staff in hand passing between ranks of dinosaurs, as they bow to him. This was Spitfire the Shaman, Visor, Healer, and Knowledge Keeper to the royal family and kingdom. He then climbs Dino Rock to where Scotty is standing, the Theropods both then embrace each other and hug deeply with the Dilophosaurus placing his right arm over the King's Snout.
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life
The Tyrannosaurus rex leads the Dilophosaurus to the queen named Victoria, Scotty's Mate, who is lying on the ground holding their newborn son. The Two Tyrannosaurs rubbed each other's heads lovingly as the Dilophosaurus approached the newborn T. rex hatchling named Tristan. The Crested Theropod takes a Root that is tied to his walking stick and rips it open, then he takes the red ochre powder and puts it on the baby Tyrannosaur's head drawing it into a ceremonial crown. The Chick sneezed from the powder being placed on him, causing the parents to smile. Then Dilophosaurus picks the T. rex chick up and carries him to the point of Dino Rock with the King and Queen following him.
The Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Creatures looked up to see the Dilophosaurus approaching the edge of the promontory, Then the Dilophosaurus lifted the T. rex chick up in the air for the crowd to view the king's firstborn son. The dinosaurs began to roar and bellow at the first sight of the newborn prince. The sauropods including Brachiosaurus, Giraffatitans, Apatosaurus, Brontosaurus, Camarasaurus, Diplodocus, Amargasaurus, Nigersaurus, Mamenchisaurus, Dreadnoughtus, Alamosaurus, Argentinosaurus, Jainosaurus, and Plateosaurus raised their necks, and heads to their air were deeply bellowing in the air. Small Critters and Dinosaurs like Compsognathus, Sinosauropteryx, Graciliceratops, Aquilops, Segisaurus, Mei longs, Incisivosaurus, Psittacosaurus, Mononykus, Trierarchuncus, Leaellynasaura, Nanosaurus, Thescelosaurus, Amphibians, Bugs, Small Mammals, Reptiles like Lizards, Snakes, and Turtles, chattered, chirped, and screeched rearing up or jumping in the air while the Ornithopods and Hadrosaurs like Parasaurolophus, Corythosaurus, Iguanodon, Lambeosaurus, Saurolophus, Olorotitan, Tsintaosaurus, Edmontosaurus, Maiasaura, Ouranosaurus, Mantellisaurus, and Dryosaurus were stomping on the ground and bellowing with their nasal sacs and crests.

The Ankylosaurs and Stegosaurs like Ankylosaurus, Stegosaurus, Kentrosaurus, Euoplocephalus, Nodosaurus, Borealopelta, Minmi, Wuerhosaurus, Chungkingosaurus, Gigantspinosaurus, Critchonpelta, and Polacanthus bellowed with their heads in the air and slamming their Club and Spike Tails to the ground. Marine Reptiles like Mosasaurus, Liopleurodon, Nothosaurus, Tanystropheus, Tylosaurus, Kronosaurus, Pliosaurus, Shonisaurus, Archelon, Elasmosaurus, Plesiosaurus, Styxosaurus, Attenborosaurus, and Ichthyosaurus splashed and raised their heads above the water. As the Dilophosaurus presented the baby T. rex, the chick looked down at the cheering crowd in confusion and curiosity as they continued to cheer their Future King.
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Once rays of sunlight broke through some clouds from the sky above and glimmered down on the Tristan and Spitfire on Dino Rock. Then all of the dinosaurs, herbivores and carnivores, and prehistoric creatures alike began to bow to the new heir to the throne, one by one.
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
Scotty and Victoria stood by as they smiled proudly, believing that Valley would be in great care under the leadership of Tristan.
In the Circle
The Circle of Life
That day was very special indeed for soon, in the future as told in a prophecy, Tristan will be known in the future as...
THE DINOSAUR KING
