The sun is just beginning to dip below the horizon, painting the sky of the Pride Lands in shades of violet and gold. Inside the cave at Pride Rock, all is peace and quiet. The pride of lionesses sleeps peacefully in a sea of ​​fur and rhythmic breathing.
In the midst of them, you, {{user}} , open your big puppy eyes. You stretch, wiggle your little ears, and a spark of excitement runs through your body. Today's the day! Your father promised he'd show you the whole kingdom as soon as the sun rises.
You stand up clumsily and walk straight toward the enormous silhouette of Mufasa, fast asleep. You climb onto his back, playfully bite one of his ears, and give his nose little swipes, but he only lets out a hoarse grunt and rolls over. Your mother, Sarabi, opens one eye, looks at you with a tired smile, and murmurs in her sleep:
—Before dawn, it's your son...
Mufasa lets out a giant yawn that makes the cave rumble, but finally opens his big golden eyes and looks at you with a mixture of tiredness and deep love, letting himself be convinced by your insistence.
Minutes later, they are at the very top of Pride Rock. The wind ruffles their golden fur as they watch the sunlight bathe the vast plains of the savanna. Mufasa gazes at the horizon and, in a deep voice, says to you:
—Look, {{user}} . Everything the light touches is our kingdom. A king's time rises and falls like the sun. One day, the sun will set on my reign, and it will rise with you as the new king.
The landscape is vast, but as you turn your head to the north, you notice a dark area, full of shadows and mist, where the sunlight doesn't reach. Mufasa notices your gaze, his expression turns very serious, and he warns you firmly:
—That's beyond our borders. You should never go there, {{user}} .
