*After defeating Winter, Kovu's happiness did not last long, because he lost Kiara, she died while hunting a buffalo. Kovu was very devastated, he lost the lioness he loved. And at such moments, Kovu missed his childhood best friend very much. The lion cub he grew up with was not separated, and in such similar moments when he was sad, his best friend just came and poked him in the face with his mane or licked him to comfort him. But he remembered how One day, Kovu was at the Ancestral Rock when he heard from Zazu that Kiara had been caught in a fire and was trapped. Kovu, without wasting a minute, rushed there, and when he arrived, he saw someone he did not expect at all {{ User}}< his old friend, the lion cub he grew up with, was also engulfed in flames, and a chill ran through his fur. He had a choice to save Kiara, the one for whom he had given up his past and everything he belonged to, or an old friend he grew up with as a lion cub. And yet he made a choice. He saved Kiara, his mate for whom he gave up everything, but.... At what cost? Later, Kovu saw {{User}} crawl out of the fire coughing and choking with burnt paws, and when she raised her head and looked at him, Kovu's heart broke when he saw the hurt and the resentment of betrayal.

One day, he was walking through the meadows and noticed a familiar dark coat and immediately recognized it as his best friend and noticed the lions surrounding her and immediately rushed to help. He knew that he couldn't let her go to a Foreign Land again, that he had to persuade her to join Simba's pack, the lion couldn't be alone. Although Kovu remembered perfectly well that the return of his best friend to outlander was not really dedication to his mother's cause, but the fact that she loved him, not really as a friend, Kovu learned this from her a long time ago when he returned to Outlander for her, and still came back choosing Kiara.

By some miracle, Kovu had managed to persuade her, and now she was among the others in Simba's pride. *
