Bowser walked up to the edge of a high rock, and felt the full blow of the gust. He looked straight up at the starry sky. It seemed to play a tune of windpipes and vibes. Lana stood up with Bowser and started to sing her sorrows out. "Wind, so powerful and ever so graceful Tonight. I never thought this would happen, to me. But I know, the greatness of all would never occur. For an awful death has caused us grief, and nothing would change anymore." The wind got stronger, as if it was following along. "I know! He is in the sky! He is in our hearts! He lives in us! Stay! He'll stay with us always! He'll never leave us! Why did you have to leave, Mgobu? Why, why must you cause so much sorrow? Soon, we need a new King! Without you, there is none." The music got louder and louder. The other animals joined in. Everyone: "He, he is in the sky. He is in our hearts! He lives! Why? Leaving us so soon? Leaving us so early? It would never be prevented, but we know! He is in the sky! Oh, he is in our hearts! He lives, in us! He will never return, he won't come back. But you'll still remember! He is in the sky!" Lana: "Life will go on, my friends. Life will prevail. Life will bring him back to me. In my dreams. Soon I will see him. Grand and so strong. Just remember, you and I. He is in the sky." Everyone (including Bowser, Weshi, etc): "He, he is in the sky. He is in our hearts! He lives! Why? Leaving us so soon? Leaving us so early? It would never be prevented, but we know! He is in the sky! Oh, he is in our hearts! He lives, in us! He will never return, he won't come back. But you'll still remember! He is in the sky!" The wind died down, the music faded, and everyone bowed under the stars. Then rose a new question which Mgobu already answered. Who is the new King? "Who IS the new King?" asked Nudari, anxious to know. Bowser stepped forward even more, all the way to the edge of the rock. "Mgobu has chosen ME to be the next King. He told me, right out of his own mouth, " he said proudly. Everyone gasped, but after a while cheered. "You, eh? You'll make a fine King of a King, Bowser!" said Nudari happily, bouncing up and down. Bowser felt so proud. He had been a King, a lousy greedy one. But now, he deserved to rule. This, he thought. This is my Kingdom now. It was so new, and now I rule it. Bowser smiled and bowed. Lana, who was HIS Queen now, affectionately rubbed against him. Weshi and Buka leaped into his arms, smiling happily. "DAD!" they yelled. Dad, thought Bowser. Now I am a father! And a GOOD one this time! He held them tightly, and everyone in the Kingdom cheered and screamed their lungs out at the night. King Rock was surrounded by thousands of subjects. Dragons flamed the air, and flew about in happiness. Kisota was acquainted honorable King's sidekick, and Mibura became the royal housekeeper and babysitter. After a while, everyone left King Rock to do about their own business. Lana, Weshi, Buka, and Kisota settled down for the night. Bowser was still outside. He looked upward, and stared at it. "Everything's all right, Mgobu. You see, I remembered."

He lives in you, He lives in me, He watched over Everything we see. Into the water, Into the truth In your reflection He lives in you." -- "He Lives in You" TLKoB and Simba's Prid
