As Aziz was all alone, waiting for her child's return, she heard a familiar voice, "Hello, Aziz. May i join you?"

The queen turned around, to see it was her mother, the former queen of the Pridelands, Sarabi. The elderly queen sat next to her. 

"Hello, mother. It's been a while since we had the time for ourselves." Aziz greets her, as the former queen laughs. 

"It has. Although, Tadashi is just like how you and Zuko was, all rebellious and full of wonder." 

Aziz sighs, "Do you think I am very capable to being queen and be his mother? All the other cubs were not so friendly with him because they believe he gets special treatment as the prince." 

"Tadashi may discover his own path in the circle of life, just like you had long ago. Scar has raise you so well." 

Just knowing her father wasn't around, it felt wrong. He would've loved to be a grandfather to her only child, and he would teach him all the things she would've have if she was still living in the Pridelands. 

Her world had completely changed just by one murder, a distrust in the pride, and that it seems like it felt like it was yesterday. 

"I miss Papa so much. I just felt incomplete without his guidance. " She admits to the former queen. 

"I know how much the impact of your father's murder inflected you. You were just a cub, and no cub shouldn't see such a terrible deed. My only regret is to not come to you sooner, you wouldn't ran away." 

Aziz hugs her mother, "Mother, i know it's not going to be an easy task, but i'm grateful you're here with me . 

Being Tadashi's grandmother meant the world to me. I know that Tadashi treasured you a lot, and I guess that i kind of bit of jealous that he can enjoy his childhood. " 

As the two were enjoyed their company, Kaku looks at Aziz, "Has our son come back from exploring the lands yet?"

Aziz said, "No, he hasn't. I hope that he isn't going to be in trouble." 

The king said, "I think it's best to find him before anything bad happens." 

The lionesses concurred with that statement, as they went along with a couple of fellow lionesses to locate the young prince. 

Nobody suspects that the young prince had made a unexpected encounter with another cub.
