Chapter 5 Beautiful Day, Cloudy Spirits
Mufasa: Adofo, Simba wake up.
Simba: huh…..what’s wrong dad?
Mufasa: Boys do you think Enzi would like to see the sunrise from the top of Priderock?
Simba: Like when you showed us?
Mufasa: Yes.
Adofo: yeah I think he would.
Simba Yeah!
Mufasa: Okay, Adofo gently pick him up and we’ll head up.
*Adofo carefully picks up the little cub and the four head to the peak on top of Priderock*
Simba:*as he poked the little sleeping cub* Hey wake up, we want you to see something.
Enzi:*yawns* what is it?
Mufasa: Look at there, keep your eye on the horizon.
*the little cub stares at the horizon as the sun starts to rise into the air*
Enzi: Wow! It is amazing, just like my mom said. It’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen!
*The four stand looking over the land admiring its beauty*
Mufasa: Well I think we had better head back down, we need to head out and find your mother soon.
*All four of them head back down and go to the base of Priderock to find the entire pride waiting for them so they can head out*
Mufasa: Looks like everyone is here, except Scar. Where is he?
Sarabi: I don’t know, he wasn’t here when I woke up.
Mufasa: Hmmmm…. very well then, we’ll just have to go without him.
*The pride starts marching away from their home to find where Enzi had left his mother*
*After a few hours of walking they find it*
Enzi: That’s it! Over there!
*The pridelanders walk over towards to the spot and find Enzi’s mother still in her peaceful eternal rest*
Enzi: See mommy I told you I would come back for you!*the little cub goes up to his mother’s body and gently licks her face*
*All the young ones and some of the lioness’s start to tear up from sadness*
Mufasa: En….*clears his throat*…. Enzi are you ready?
Enzi: Yes…. I’m ready.
Mufasa: Alright everyone start digging a hole.
Jana: Hey Nala quit flinging dirt in my face!
Nala: I’m not!
Jana: Are too!
Sarafina: Both of you stop! That is no way to act at a time like this!
Nala & Jana: Sorry…….
*not long the pride has dug a hole for Adila and prepares to lower her into the ground*
Sarabi: Enzi do you want to say your final goodbyes?
Enzi: Yes Ma’am. *He approaches his mother’s body for the last time* Goodbye mommy, I will always love you. *and lick his mother’s cheek for the last time*
*Some of the lioness’s gently put Adila into the hole while Enzi start’s to cry for his mother and then fill in the hole*
Simba: Hey it’ll be okay.
Adofo: Mom, Dad, can Enzi stay with us?
Sarabi: Of course he can!
*they all turn around and head back to Priderock*
*A few months later after living with the Pridelanders Enzi comes to a decision*
Enzi: Everyone, I cannot thank you enough for all that you have done for me, taking me in, feeding me, giving my mom a proper burial and Adofo, for saving my life. But I think I have spent enough time here, me and my mom would wander around all the time and I think I have stayed for too long. I think it’s time I go off on my own.
Nala: Are you sure?
Enzi: Yeah, thanks to all of you I can defend for myself and get my own food, so I think it’s time.
Mufasa: Well if that’s really what you want.
Sarabi: You are welcome back anytime!
Adofo: Come on group hug!
*All the young ones crowd around Enzi and have a big group hug as their goodbye*
Enzi: I will gladly drop by every now and then, again thank you all for everything you have done! *the cub then walks out and down to the bottom of Priderock but turns back to look back up at the cave and sees all the pridelanders on the ledge shouting goodbyes and then turns around and goes on his way*
