The Zira's story is continuing!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have great news for you! She made it! Yes, Zira has returned! To her home, to her family.

Not long ago I heard that they saw some old skinny lioness with dark stripe on her head with Simba's pride. They never saw her before. They didn't recognize her, but I was sure. It was Zira. And now I have proof. They found a letter with my name near Pride Rock. They brought it to me. It was Zira's writing. And here it is:

Dear Dockeeping,

first of all, I must thank you for your help, because I would probably never manage to go back without your support. Yes, I'm back. Back in the place where I was born, with my children, Kovu and Vitani, and with other lions.

I had enough of endless hiding and fear of disclosure. Enough living alone... I took all I had and went to the Pride Rock. I was prepared for everything. Rejection, anger, punishment, or even death. But no, when I got there, tremulous, with fear, they welcomed me! As a friend... Regardless the evil I did in my past.

And then I saw Kovu. He slowly walked to me and... embraced me! For the first time in my life, I had tears in my eyes. His forgiveness was the biggest gift I could ever get. I felt as if my soul was suddenly free, without the hate that devoured it for nearly all my life.

Then Vitani came and embraced me too. She told me that she always knew that I had love in my heart, but that I was too afraid to show it.

And at last, Simba came. I have changed, I no longer felt the hate for him, but he had absolute right to exile me again, or even kill me. Years ago, when I last saw him, I also wanted to do it. Actually, it was my only wish since the time he exiled me from Pride Lands with my children. But he came to me with smile. He said that he was blind too, until Kiara, his daughter, opened his eyes. And that he is happy I made it too. And then he offered me joining his pride. And I accepted it.

Now I live here some time already. And there are the happiest moments of my life.

But I have still one thing to do. Not long ago, Timon, the cute little suricate that lives here with our pride, told me that I must put my past behind me. And forget the bad things. That it will help me. But I don't want to forget it; it will be the part of me forever. But I have one thing I don't need any more. Look in the envelope. There is a piece of paper.

I know you found my secret song it my diary. The "War Song". It was not complete... It had second part, a song where I revealed the blackness of my soul. I don't want to see it again. Please, take it, and if you want, you can finish the part of your story about me... I called the song "My Soul" or "See Who I Am". And fortunately, I hope I can rename it now to "See Who I Was And Who I'll Never Be Again"...

With the best regards

Zira


My Soul

Is it true what they say,
are we too blind to find a way?
Fear of the unknown clouds our hearts today.

Come into my world,
see through my eyes.
Try to understand,
don't want to lose what we have.

We've been dreaming
but who can deny,
it's the best way of living
between the truth and the lies.

Chorus:
See who I am,
break through the surface.
Reach for my hand,
let's show them that we can
free our minds and find a way.
The world is in our hands,
this is not the end.

Fear is withering the soul
at the point of no return.
We must be the change
we wish to see.

I'll come into your world,
see through your eyes.
I'll try to understand,
before we lose what we have.

We just can't stop believing
because we have to try.
We can rise above
their truth and their lies.
