-The Lion King Rises, "Circle of Life (Reprise)"

One year after Scar's death, the Pride Lands had completely healed back to its natural state, before his rule. Link established himself as king and drove all remaining hyenas back to their land. The land and its tribes prospered greatly from his return, the diseases and famines that plagued them for all those years dissipated and the animals rejuvenated and flourished alongside the land. Though many of the tribes were skeptical about giving the northern land to the Cape Water Buffalo tribe, they soon learnt that with this gift came peace between them and the other inhabitants, as they were now no longer so hostile towards others. As all this was shown, the music from the opening, Circle of Life, began to play as chanting was heard.

One summer morning, all the animals gathered at Pride Rock, just as they had 26 years prior, to celebrate the coming of King Link and Queen Zelda's son and heir. Even the Cape Water Buffaloes, who never appeared for such an occasion, felt obligated to pay homage to the newborn prince. Navi flew high over all of them and landed before the king, bowing to him as he smiled back. He looked over at his friends, Toad and Yoshi, who were admiring his newborn child. He walked over to his wife, and gave her a kiss as Toadsworth came up the path, nodding at them to signify it was time. Link nodded back, taking his son and giving him to Toadsworth. Link rested alongside Zelda as they watched Toadsworth go up the balcony, and held the cub up high as all the animals below applauded loudly at the sight of their future king. The clouds parted and a beam of light shone down on the cub as all animals bowed before him. And as they applauded and bowed, a chorus sung, "Till we find our place, on the path unwinding! In the circle, the Circle of Life! Circle of… Life!"

THE LION KING

Well, that's that I suppose. Thank you very much for reading this story to the end, and I hope it was a satisfactory experience. I'd like to especially thank the loyal reviewers for continuing to inspire me to continue writing this. Now, onto the future. While currently I have no plans to make a sequel to this, I might reconsider if there's high enough demand for it. Also, I know i made the child at the end a boy when it was a girl in the sequel but I could always reverse the genders or write in a sister (possibly adopted) or something, but i can cross that bridge if i ever come to it. In other news, I've decided to work on Beauty and the Beast next, so you can expect to see it sometime around Thanksgiving probably, and hopefully i'll have it finished before Christmas. On that note, if anyone has any suggestions for who should be who, feel free to suggest, since I haven't really decided on anyone yet, apart from Belle (who you can all probably guess who it will be :p) anyways, thanks again for reading, and take care.
