As they say, time heals all wounds. It took a lot of it for the pride to rebuild her homeland, for the flora to start growing again with care and for the stink of evil magic to go away but eventually everything went back to place. Soon the Pride Lands went back to their previous glory. Life returned too as the herds and the other packs started filling the capital again. And with a more capable King running things, Saeva found her way to prosperity once again.

Today the people of the kingdom have more than one reasons to celebrate, be festive and exhilarate since it today the presentation of the royal couple's newborn child will take place!

An endless crowd of shape-shifters surrounds the Pride Rock, their cheers overwhelming the atmosphere. On top of the Pride Rock, King Simba and Queen Nala have already taken their places. On the King's right, Timon and Pumbaa stand tall; the two Strays that from social outcasts turned into members of the royal court and to the King's dearest friends. Zazu is present of course – the royal counselor cannot be missing from such an occasion – flying around and observing the events from above.

Nala slides her hand into Simba and entangles their fingers together. Simba turns at her and offers a look full of love to his mate, his darling, his Queen. The kingdom couldn't ask for better rulers and none of them could ask for anyone else as his match. They had known it all along that this was their fate, that they were meant for each other. Their bond is something beyond meassure and their life can't get any sweeter than that. And the source of their happiness is now being brought to the front in Rafiki's arms.

The druid carries the little cub in his arms. It is a girl. A beautiful baby girl with golden hair and sparkling blue eyes just like her mother. She is a perfect princess. She flicks her eyelids open and her parents smile at her, the first smile she ever sees. And then Rafiki raises her to the heavens so as the entire kingdom may see her. The future Queen, the heir of the throne, the seed of the purest of love and the daughter of a major hero. She is all these and her journey has only begun. But it has been foreseen that it will be a great one. An exciting adventure and much more. She is Simba's daughter after all.

So that was it guys...the end...it's bitter-sweet honestly. I'd like to send my love to everyone who supported my first story, I don't think I have the words to describe how much your positive reaction means to me. Thank you for over 2.000 viewers, I never expected I could reach such a high number! :-) I'd also like to send a big 'thank you' to Izi Wilson whose wonderful reviews accompanied me in every step of this journey. I hope I'll have the chance to write more stories in the future. We'll see! Until then...see ya! :-)
