Zazu, having heard of the news of a mysterious but largely structured place that the pride could possibly call home, hurried back to the jungle that the pride were currently residing in.

He loved flying when he had a direction to be heading in, as he could fly quicker with a heading and that allowed him to really feel the win as he cut through it.

He landed within close range of the area, and came to a soft landing in an area of grass, and began to search for other members of the pride to inform of the news. He thought to himself "Perhaps I should start by searching for king Mufasa."

It would take him too long to walk around and search for someone, so he hovered around and looked through the crowds of lions and lionesses who were standing to their daily activities.
"It will be so much more organised when we find a new home" he thought, as he continued to hover a few feet above the crowds.

Sarabi was rather busy at the moment, she was making her daily rounds, checking up on the other lions and such. Now that she was Queen, she felt a regal responsabilty to look after the other lionesses, and she wanted Mufasa to know that she was ready to take the role of Queen seriously.

She soon came across a lioness who she had always been friends with, Lea. She watched as Lea made her way to the little water formation that the two used to drink from most of the time.

"Hey! Lea! Wait up", Sarabi shouted as she quickened her pace to be with her friend. Lea turned around and smiled widely at seeing her Queen and best friend,
"Hello there Sarabi, how's everything going?",
"Everything's fine thanks, everything ok with you? I fancied a drink too, you are going to our waterhole right?". Lea nodded and the two started to walk again,
"Everything's ok with me".

Mufasa was lounging on his favorite rock, awaiting any important news that he would have to attend to. He yawned, revealing his imposing fangs for a few seconds before closing his mouth again.

Zazu continued his slow flight forward searching for the king. He spotted his master and friend, lounging on a rock not to far away.
With haste, he spread out his wings and headed for the Mufasa.
He landed next to the king, and perched on the rock beside him.
"Sir? I think we might be in luck, we have heard stories of a structure far off from here, but it might just be perfect to rule over the kingdom from... Would it be something you might be interested in? If so I can tell you more details about it." Zazu spoke formally and respectfully as always to the king.

Mufasa looked over at Zazu. "Thank you for telling me, Zazu. Now, what is this structure like?" he said, very curious about this new location.

Take stood up, stretching, and turned to face Mufasa and Zazu. "If you don't mind," he quietly sneered, "I think I'll let out King handle these decisions. If you need me, I'll be... around." Taka turned away from the group and padded off to rest nearby in the shade. Rule this, Rule that, do this, do that. Never a "Hey Taka, come help me out," or, "Brother, help me with this." He scowled and lay down coughing slightly. One day it would cease being all about Mufasa Mufasa Mufasa, and would be about Mufasa and Taka, the brothers who were to rule together, just as Mother had always said they would.

Sarafina was talking quietly with one of the pride lionesses then trailed off once she saw Sarabi and Lea headed to the drinking area. "I'll see you later!" Padding off from the group and coming up from behind Sarabi. "Hey ladies! What are you up to?" Asking politely, smiling from ear to ear. "I hear the Queen is expecting a little cub in a few moons." Winking at her friend and nudging her slightly.

Romania, a beautiful light brown lioness lay on a sunny rock with her neon green eyes closed and her head resting on her light tan paws. Her pregnant stomach stuck our from her stomach. Opening her eyes, she yawned then stretched. Patting her stomach, "Oh my beautiful cub. I just had a dream about you. Perfect little face and little ear tufts like me!" Giggling then sighing happily. "You shall be named Malka, if male and Luna if female." Smiling and looking up at the sky, closing her eyes and letting the sun pleasure her skin. "Lets go get a drink!" Hopping off the rock and walking to the water hole, I different way then the other lionesses were going.

Sarabi turned to see Sarafina,
"Hi Saffy! We're just going to have a drink, fancy joining us? And yes, the little one kicks alot!". She smiled and Lea also greeted Sarafina. The the two continuted to walk. Lea was also pregnant, but in the very early stages and she did not feel like telling everyone yet.

Zazu watched as Taka walked off into the distance, he could sense something was not completely right about Taka, but he chose not to say anything yet. Zazu was usually a fairly shy dodo and tried to avoid conflicts. Not to mention as the king's advisor he was tasked with helping to keep order and not induct it.

Zazu clenched a nearby stick within his wing, and with it he carved into the dirt a brief representation of what this potential home would look like.
As you can see Sire, it is comprised of one large tall rock, which legends say points to the great kings of the past. The 2nd rock provides a great lace to look out over the kingdom. And it is all supported by one sloped supporting rock.
Zazu explained and he looked up at Mufasa, whom Zazu could not tell if he was totally convinced.

"Perhaps the surrounding area would be helpful too" He thought to himself.
The surrounding area provides plenty of provisions, and the environment will be beautiful when life begins to flow through it.
Zazu also thought of any other reasoning he could use to sell the idea to his master. Not to mention how helpful it will be when raising new cubs... He said.
And he awaited a response from the king.

Mufasa stood up and stepped closer to Zazu. "Thank you, Zazu. I should speak to the others before I decide to take us on a long journey though," he said.
