"Ok"

We then went back into the den and we laid down and I cuddled up to my dad and fell asleep with his arm around me.

**next morning**

When I wake up I left the den and sat at the end of pride rock and looked at the land and watched all the animals.

"Kopa" I turn my head and it was my dad "I want you to come with me so that we can talk"

"Yo-you mean out there?"

"Yes away from pride rock" I then get nervous "don't get nervous I will not leave your side," dad says.

"Ok" he then smiles.

We then left pride rock and we walked around.

"Kopa it's time I tell you about the circle of life," dad says.

"Ok"

"Do you know what it is?" dad asks.

"No"

"Then let me explain, everything you see has a balance and as King, you must understand that balance," dad says.

"But I thought Kiara was going to be the next ruler of the land?" I ask being confused.

"She is, but if anything happens to her, you take over as King," dad says.

"But wouldn't Kion be next though"

"No, and that is because since Kion is the leader of the Lion Guard, he can't be king unless he steps down from the lion guard"

"I see"

"But anyway, as I said before everything you see has a balance and you must understand it"

"Ok"

"Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance and you must understand that balance and respect all the creatures from the crawling and the leaping antelope,"  dad says.

"But dad don't we eat the antelope?" I ask.

"Yes Kopa, but let me explain when we die our bodies become the grass and the antelope eat the grass and so we are all connected in the great circle of life," dad says.

"Good morning Sire," Zazu says as he lands on the rock.

"Good morning Zazu" dad says.

"Checking in with the morning report" Zazu says.

"Fire away" (play the video to get the report)

After Zazu was done he left and we continued on our walk.

KION POV

I was alone and then I felt the wind blow and something told me to follow it and so I did.

As I kept walking I saw my grandfather show up.

"Hello, Kion" grandfather said.

"Hello Grandfather, was that you controlling the wind?"

"Yes and I did it so that we could talk," Mufasa says.

"About what?"

"Kopa," Mufasa says.

"What about Kopa?"

"You must keep him safe," Mufasa says.

"Why is he in danger?" I ask with worry.

"No, he's fine, Kopa is with Simba for the time being," Mufasa says.

"Is something bad going to happen to Kopa?"

"I am not allowed to say, but you must keep Kopa safe or the Great Balance will be out of wack," Mufasa says.

"I understand grandfather, I will make sure he is always safe"

"Good"

After that, he faded away.
