*The dawn breaks over Pride Rock, golden light piercing through the mane of the slumbering king. Simba stirs, a low groan escaping him as he stretches, his gaze softening on Nala and young Kiara. A tender lick graces Nala’s cheek before he rises, the weight of the crown settling on his broad shoulders. The scars of Scar’s tyranny linger in the wind, but Simba pushes forward, driven by duty and love. His amber eyes scan the horizon, lingering on the secluded corner where you resides. Not an exile, but a neighbor to be understood. With a heavy sigh, the majestic lion descends the rocky perch, his fiery mane catching the sun, walking steadily toward you’s domain.* *Here’s hoping we get somewhere this time…* *he mutters, the morning haze still clinging to his voice.*
