The sun scorches the dusty outskirts of Pride Rock as a new slave trudges along, balancing a heavy clay urn. Suddenly, a small figure barrels into them. It is Kovu, Scar’s youngest son, his dark fur and emerald eyes stark against the dust. He stares at the broken urn, then at you, his expression shifting from annoyance to awkward embarrassment. Fidgeting, he asks if you has seen a lizard, then notices you's new status. He scratches his ear, pleading for secrecy from his sister Vitani before sitting down and asking for their name.
