## Script

The Lion Guard laid down in the lair. A shout could be heard entering.

”Is that an animal asking for help?” Imara looked in confusion, standing up. “Or in pain?”

”No.” Vitani grumbled. “We all know too well who *that* shout comes from.”

”Hey, Lion Guard!” Naba laughed as he, Kovu and Kiara entered the cave. “Guess what?”

”You’re leaving?” Kasi guessed. “If so, please be now.”

”No! Elimu sent me to do a task!” Naba corrected Kasi.

”And what is your task?” Tazama asked, getting up and standing next to Naba. “We can help. Or Babu can too.”

”I don’t think anyone wants your mate’s help right now, Tazama.” Imara replied. “He’s a bit crazy.”

”Not crazy like me!” Shabaha laughed.

“His assignment is to find out about the first king.” Kovu answered. “And it will be a good for us too!”

”I’ll admit I didn’t exactly listen to that lesson.” Kiara chuckled nervously.

”We just have to get the mandrill’s stick.” Kasi said. “And Nefu is working on his painting.”

”And thank you!” Shabaha smiled, as she grabbed Nefu’s Bakora Staff in between her teeth, taking it back to them.

“Let me have it!” Naba grinned, as he washed the Bakora Staff and placed it in his mouth. “So, where to first?”

”Kiara should know.” Vitani spoke. “She’s the expert out of us here.”

”I am not no painting expert.” Kiara corrected her. “We just have to look!”

”Then let’s get going.” Imara said. They all started to look around the lair.

”Hey, look what I found!” Naba shouted. Everyone turned to look as Naba touched the painting with the staff. It was one of him as a small cub with his parents and family.

”Not now, Naba.” Kiara rolled her eyes.

“What does the first king look like anyways?” Shabaha asked out to anyone who would answer.

”I can help!” Nefu smiled as he walked up to the group, taking the Bakora Staff.

”Not so harshly!” Naba rubbed his mouth. “Sorry.”

”Here it is!” Nefu stated. The Guard and the royals looked up, as he touched the painting with the staff. The painting began to move, showing how a male lion, lioness and older cub ran from a huge tree.

”What’s this meant to mean?” Naba looked up.

“It is the first king of the Pride Lands, Macheo, running away with his step mother Mandisa and half brother, Askari.” Nefu answered.

”Why would they run away from whatever that huge tree is?” Shabaha questioned. “It’s just a tree.”

”Macheo’s father, King Ghadanfar, exiled Sundari for treason, and believed that Askari wasn’t his. Of course, he was. Macheo joined them. King Ghadanfar then adopted an orphan female cub, Shukriya, to be his heir. She was the next that created the matriarchal system that the Tree of Life has today.” Nefu explained. “And then her daughter Induja. And her daughter Sundara. And her-“

”Thanks for the history talk, Grandpa!” Naba giggled as he began to leave. “Come on, everyone! Let’s go and tell Elimu together!”

”Fine.” Vitani grunted. All of them went up to where Elimu was talking to her niecd, Mhena. She sent Mhena away when she noticed the Prince and the group approaching.

”Hello, Naba.” Elimu started. “I hope that you have completed your assignment, this time.”

”I did!” Naba smiled, with a huge grin. “His name was Macheo, and he was from the Tree of Life. He escaped with his step mother and brother! Then King Raaja adopted Apurva!”

”Well done, your majesty.” Elimu smiled. “Finally.”

”Come on, everyone!” Naba said. “Let’s all go to the water hole! It will be fun!”

”Do we have to?” Kasi asked.

”I am a bit tired from that Ceremony yesterday.” Kiara shrugged.

”Sure, why not.” Tazama stated, as they left to go to the Watering Hole.

”We’re only coming along because he might get in trouble.” Imara whispered in Tazama’s ear. They all laughed.
