Mufasa: While others search for what they can take, a true king searches for what he can give. Simba is confused as he believed a king could take whatever they want, but Mufasa disagrees. Simba asks about a shadowy outcrop to the north, but Mufasa warns him to never go there. Mufasa surprises Simba by taking him to the top of Pride Rock as the sun rises over the horizon, illuminating the vast kingdom that will one day be Simba's to protect. Time passes, and Simba grows into an adventurous little cub who wakes his parents up before sunrise, as Mufasa had promised to take him on patrol with him today. Rafiki happily chants to the heavens with delight. Rafiki helps them reach their formation, and after blowing dust on them, finds the imprint of a portrait of the newborn Simba. That night, Rafiki is meditating in his baobab tree when fireflies alert him to some bugs forming a shape on his tree. Zazu reminds Mufasa that he advised him to banish Scar after his challenge, but Mufasa remains firm that as his brother, Scar will never be forced to leave their family home. Mufasa warns Scar that one day he will be ruled by his son as Scar skulks off. The conversation turns tense as Mufasa believes Scar is challenging his rule, but Scar admits he has no desire to challenge him again. Scar halfheartedly apologizes, and only because he greatly respects Sarabi. Mufasa arrives to stop Scar, however, and chastises his brother for missing the presentation of his nephew. The king's hornbill advisor, Zazu, arrives and distracts Scar long enough for the mouse to flee, only to nearly get eaten himself. Scar sympathizes with the mouse as he captures him for lunch, since as far as Scar is concerned, he's just as trapped and underprivileged as the mouse he's tormenting. Unfortunately, this cave is the lair of the Mufasa's younger brother, Scar, who picks that moment to appear and hunt down the little rodent. Later that day, a mouse is going about its' business when it wanders into a dark cave in Pride Rock. Rafiki presents the cub to the animals of the Pride Lands, who celebrate and pay tribute to their future ruler, as Mufasa and Sarabi look on with pride as their son is introduced to the kingdom. Among those in attendance is the mandrill Rafiki, an old friend of the royal family, who baptizes the newborn cub Prince Simba. In the Pride Lands of Africa, a savannah kingdom ruled by a pride of lions, dawn breaks and the animals begin gathering at a rocky outcrop known as Pride Rock, the castle of King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi.
