[Closed] Out of the Pridelands

"Then I am ready," Simba replied. And with that, Simba walked up Pride Rock through the heavy rain that had suddenly started and put out the flames. When he reached the edge, he briefly looked up at the stars and then let out a mighty roar. The pride roared in return. A new era had begun.

A few months later, a cub had been born. It was time for the grand ceremony.

As every one was getting ready and Rafiki was summoning the residents of the Pridelands, Simba admired his newborn son, Kopa. "Nala, he looks like you," he said proudly.

Nala looked up at Simba, and then looked back down at her newborn son. He batted the air playfully. "He's got your personality" Nala replied. Rafiki had soon gathered up the animals.

Now it was time. Rafiki marked Kopa's forehead with fruit juice and dust and then took him to the edge of Pride Rock and held him up for all of the animals to view. Just as they had done with Simba when he was born, they all bowed. Simba smiled proudly and looked at Nala. "This is the happiest day of my life," he told her.

Nala smiled back proudly. "Mine too" she replied. She looked on, looked across at her mother and bowed her head.
In the sky Mufasa had been watching, "Well done, my son" he boomed.

Once the ceremony was over, Kopa was returned to his parents. Simba vowed that he would always protect his son, no matter what. As the day continued on, the king enjoyed the company of his loved ones. The anguish that had gripped him since the day of Mufasa's death was gone.
