Kion's coronation

Kion's coronation was the ceremony in which Kion was formally anointed the mate of Rani and publicly presented as the new king of the Tree of Life.
==Information==
===Background===
During the Lion Guard's stay at the Tree of Life, Kion met Rani, the queen of the Tree of Life and leader of the Night Pride. Though at first Kion and Rani butted heads, they eventually grew to trust and support one another, and Rani admitted that they made a good team. 
After spending an afternoon together, the two lions confessed their love for one another, and Rani made an offer of marriage to Kion. Though Kion was tempted to accept, he ultimately decided to return to the Pride Lands after receiving news of Zira's impending attack on his homeland. Rani bid Kion farewell, asserting that he and the Guard would always be welcome at the Tree of Life.
Upon returning to the Pride Lands, Kion and the Guard found that Zira had died and that the Outsiders had been incorporated into Simba's pride, with Vitani forming her own Lion Guard in Kion's absence. That night, Kion revealed his love for Rani to Kiara, who assured him that Simba and Nala would understand should he wish to return to the Tree of Life to marry her.
The following day, Kion and Vitani's respective Lion Guards engaged in a competition to determine which team was most deserving of the role, an event which ended with Kion relinquishing leadership of the Guard to Vitani. Kion then consulted with the spirit of Askari, who advised him to incorporate his team into the Night Pride. Accompanied by his friends, Kion therefore journeyed back to the Tree of Life to marry Rani.
===The ceremony===
One evening, animals assembled at the Tree of Life to witness Kion's coronation. Kion approached Rani, who expressed her pleasure at his return and asserted that she looked forward to ruling with him. Makini painted a ceremonial mark on Kion's forehead, then presented him to the gathered crowd. As their friends and family cheered, Kion told Rani that they would make a good team, to which she replied that they already were. They then roared alongside one another.
