The sun rose high above the sapphire sky giving life to all creatures big and small, it felt like a new day, a new beginning to all life but for the two animals it felt like it would be the end of time, how urgent this mission is to bring home a princess if you will. They don't know where their targets are, they could be in Zimbabwe for all they know and it'll be a very long journey that's for sure, both physically and mentally, a journey they know will be a pain but all Kion cares about is to bring home his daughter to the Tree Of Life, as for Scorpio? well he wants revenge, death for his family's horrible death, but under the command of Rani, PPO and Kion, Scorpio has to follow orders unless he wants to end up facing a death trail. Kion woke amongst his two cubs and queen, hesitating to get up Kion slowly moves his front paws to the edge of the rock and arches his back, the bones were so stiff last night that when he cracked them it woke Rani up, Kion turned to see his queen rubbing her eyes and yawning, with a somewhat happy smile Kion lowered his head and rubbed it against her head, a sign of affection and love, Rani replied by doing the same thing as they embraced for a long time. Time past and Kion wanted to spend as much time with Rani and the cubs before heading off, soon Rafi and Carlos woke, they wanted to go outside and were allowed only if they got bathed, so with hesitation the two cubs was getting cleaned up by their mother meanwhile Kion is watching on, his gaze strongly remained looking at the cubs, the giggles and the energy they had, his thoughts went to Karla and how bad, lonely and sad she is all alone with Makuctha and his gang, his day dream ended when Rani finished cleaning the two boys up, " now, behave, say goodbye to your dad before you go", the two cubs rushed up to his father, giving him a hug and a kiss," remember to not go far and if your in danger run back here okay", " yes father", " good, now run along, have fun and I'll see you in a few days time, the cubs ran out the entrance as they headed down to the watering hole, " Full of energy aren't they?", Rani again snapped Kion back into reality, " oh yeah, they are special, Kion shook his mane and walked up to Rani again, " this will be the last time we spend some time together before I go", Rani saw that his eyes were starting to get watery, " don't worry Kion, Karla will be safe, she'll be home soon, just don't give up, please, do it for me, for us, for Carlos and Rafi, do it for the future generations", Kion nodded and went in for the kiss, a long lick on the cheek as he than goes in for a hug, holding her like she was his comfort blanket, not letting go, afraid that if he did, something bad was going to happen, but if he doesn't let go sometimes, that blanket causes more trouble than ever. " sorry to interrupt but we have a mission to get on?", Scorpio appeared at the entrance of the tree, he looked rather stunning, the glowing light of the sun reflecting off all angles of his orange, white and black body, Kion kissed Rani one more time, she did the same thing, " well, i guess it's time to go, I love you", Kion began to walk out, Rani lying there watching on, " Kion?... Bring home Karla please?", " will do, even if we have to search the ends of this earth, I will bring her home".

The Night Pride, Day Pride, friends and family gathered to wish Kion and Scorpio good luck, bunched up outside the tree Kion and Scorpio look ahead, the support that is there to guide them to bring home their daughter, it only felt right to give a speech to the crowd, a speech of thank you, a prep talk and a message within itself, Kion walked over to the boulder that stood at the right side of tree, he didn't know what to say and prayed for someone to speak for him, " good morning Tree Of life, thank you all for coming here this morning to see us off, and thanks for supporting me and my family through this very difficult time, we al know how it feels to give birth to a child, that special moment as a father, looking down at your child or children and really feeling blessed that your able to be a parent, a mentor to such young animals, we all know what that feeling is being a parent, raising three cubs isn't easy but we have to it, it's apart of who we are and of the circle of life, we all dread the day that they leave us and explore their own world and continue on but we all dread the fact that what if, just what if my son or daughter goes missing or dies or gets taken? we all don't want that feeling and so we hide it, how do we cope when one of our children is taken? when Karla was taken from us and when i found out, i felt sad and angry, i didn't know what to do, and after days of searching and no positive news and when i found out who did it? i wanted to bury that skull deep under ground, as parents we all want to do that don't we? but like my father and grandfather once said, you can't fight fire with fire or fighting isn't the only way, there is always another way and to me, with the current situation, I needed that advice more than ever, because i wanted to give up, i had no energy left, but no, the power of love, friendship and family gave me enough energy to fight on, and so animals i leave you today that no matter how hurt you are, no matter how deep down you are in that dark cave that someone loves you and is always willing to give you a hand to pull you out of that dark area, never give up and never let your past effect you, we will never give up until Karla is home, we aren't going to let Makuthca get away with it and my word says that may god bless this savanna cause all hell is going to break loose on those responsible of taking my daughter", the crowd ius cheering and the atmosphere is amazing, goosebumps and tears all over the crowd as the speech is heart warming and inspiring, "no one gets away with this", chants of long live the king and queen, chants of praise and death rang out over the valley as Kion finishes of his statement, "so therefore be afraid Makuctha be afraid because... were coming for you".
