" What would you prefer thst I call you? Sire or simba? or something else? " the horn bill asked. Zazu hoped that he could keep calling him Simba.

Simba finally took his place in the Circle of Life as king. It was time for a new age, time to rebuild a kingdom and time to renew his relations.

With a naughty smile and with rest in his eyes, Simba looked at the hornbill. He thought of the old times for a moment when he and Zazu constantly kept teasing each other. The lion laughed at the question because it reminded him of the old funny names that they had once used on each other. All those stories when they hadn't got along so well were now kind memories in Simba's eyes, and he didn't consider Zazu as an adversary anymore but a member in the family, a friend in the ally.

"You can call me Simba. I am still the same guy."

Ahadi had been born to a stray lioness, and he in turn captured when they strayed too close to the forest. He was trained and pitted against beasts in battle for the amusement of humans, contained and controlled by magic. Ahadi was experimented on via magic providing a more powerful and larger lion, immune to pain and completely controlled by his owners. However, the magic effected the lion in ways his captors didn’t expect. Along with power, Ahadi was given wisdom, able to bypass pure instinct. With a human-like mind, Ahadi was able to outwit his captors, and escape the forest.

In lands far outside the boundaries of the enchanted forest, human and magic contact was non-existent, was overrun by a pride of lions. They were simple beasts run on pure instinct. The lands were lush with food and water, and the pride who claimed it were lazy and content. Ahadi found the pride, and easily over threw the king, only a simple instinctual lion. Ahadi took a mate, Uru, started his pride. The magic infused in Ahadi spread throughout his pride members, awakening lions capable of emotion and wit. But none more so than his heirs.

Mufasa and Scar weren’t quiet as large as their father, nor did they gain his strength, but both more capable of emotions than any other in the pride. Mufasa gained the ability of is father’s courage and fairness, while Scar gained the ability of envy and cunningness.

Ahadi was the first of the Pridelanders able to feel human emotions, and his descendants carried on his legacy.

The Lion King - The Pridelands (super nintendo entertainment system) i've been playing this game a lot over the past few days, actually. i always used to get stuck on that awful ostrich riding part in the second level when i was a kid (stupid bird nest insta-kills). but after spending a little time on it as an "adult", i've been able to make it to a few stages into the older simba part of the game. of course that's when i got bored and shut it off, but that's how i like to play these games. quick bursts every few days, and i'll keep getting further faster until i finally beat it. i'm in the process of (re)building up a big library of snes carts, so i plan to start doing this kind of thing a whole lot more. in regards to the song, i might even like it more than the movie version. i'm not sure, though. the lion king soundtrack was the first actual cd i bought as a kid, and i really like it. still, it's a cool bit of game music either way you look at it.
