The brilliant yellow sun almost looked as if it were melting into a puddle on the Savanna's horizon. It slowly became less visible as it sunk to rest for the evening.

On the very tip of the magnificent Pride Rock stood a pale lioness, staring out onto the lands. Her favorite time of the day was just after sunset, at twilight. For some reason, she enjoyed watching the blue sky fade to black, and the sparkling stars coming out of their hiding to play amongst the atmosphere.

As she let her minty eyes sweep the plains, she noticed animals, large and small, going to their shelter for the night. As the daylight creatures went to rest for the night, nocturnal ones took their place and awoke to greet the twilight.

The lioness felt someone nuzzle into her fur. She looked over to see her mate joining her at the tip. The lion also gazed out at the beauty of the Pride Lands and he let out a blissful sigh.

"Good evening, my honeycomb," her mate greeted her softly.

She felt him give her a tender kiss on her cheek as she told him, "Hello, Mohatu,"

After a few moments of the peaceful silence of just being in each other's company, the lion spoke.

"Would my beautiful queen like to join me for a long night of watching the stars?" Mohatu gently asked, a growing smile on his face as he took a wiff of his wife's wonderful sent.

The lionesses, Asali, snuggled into her mate's thick mane and closed her eyes, feeling the serenity engulf her like a wave of the sweetest honey.

"Oh, Mohatu," she whispered. "I'd love that."

Mohatu gave the queen another soft kiss and began to lead her down the rocky path of Pride Rock to the swaying foliage of its base.

The two lions strolled out into the dusk, holding each other tight.

"I never dreamed of marrying an angel like you, Asali. I love you so much, I hope you know that." Mohatu whispered into her ear as she walked beside him, enjoying the beauty.

"Of course I know that, love," she replied, giving him a kiss. A joyful smile crossed her face as she turned her head to look into her mate's deep caramel eyes. "I'm glad you remembered our anniversary,"

Her radiant smile caused Mohatu to grin lovingly at her as they both shared a moment to bask in  each other's endless love.
