Simba turned to the audience below.
"Animals of the Pride Lands, it is on this day that I present to you my son. He has been chosen to become the new leader of the Lion Guard." Upon saying this, Simba began to hear murmurs of confusion among the back herds. He gave Rafiki a glance, who was beckoning him to continue.
"As I have been told, some of you have yet to hear about the Lion Guard. Well this group will be dedicated to defending you against those who do not respect the circle of life. The second born royal lion or lioness who takes command will gather others, choosing only those lions who are the bravest, fastest, smartest, and keenest of sight. Together, the Lion Guard shall patrol these lands to stop any threat towards your herds. As my son will become the leader of our new Lion Guard, he will be given a powerful gift to help him. This gift is known as the Roar of the Elders. Your queen Nala and I will teach our son to use this roar; He will wield it responsibly to protect the Pridelands."
