– "The Age of Mohatu: The Rise of the White Shadow"

[The sky is coal-black, covered by heavy clouds. The jungle south of the Pride Lands is silent. On a remote rocky slope, under the faint sound of thunder, a snow-white lion watches the horizon: KIROS. His bright eyes reflect coldness and determination. Beside him, a young, equally white lion, SHAJU, still inexperienced, but with the same restrained fury.]

Kiros (in a grave tone): — "See, Shaju. There… beyond the trees… beyond the golden hills… Is what they call the 'Kingdom of the Sun'. The Lands of King Mohatu."

Shaju (curious, but resentful): — "They rejected us. Like all the others. For our fur. For our origin. For fear."

Kiros (growls softly): — "They call us 'Outsiders'... but we are more than that. We are the Children of the Cold Sky. Raised in the shadows of exile. And now... the time has come for us to take what is rightfully ours."

[Kiros walks to the edge of the cliff. Behind him, dozens of white-coated lions and lionesses follow him with watchful eyes. Some are thinner, scarred by hunger, others too young... but all with the same silent fury.]

Kiros (raising his head): — "The world of the golden ones is no longer the only one. The cycle of life turns... and we have been forgotten outside of it. But if Mohatu wants to keep the light of day, then we will bring eternal night upon their lands."

[Shaju approaches his father, hesitant.]

Shaju: — "But… what about the roar? They say that the leader of the Lion Guard, Askari, possesses an ancient power. That even the heavens hear his voice…"

Kiros (staring at his son): — "Askari is just a lion. A symbol. But symbols can be broken… and heroes, forgotten."

[A gust of wind blows between the rocks. The white army of the "Outsiders" moves like mist around Kiros and Shaju. Among them, fierce females, experienced males, cubs prepared for war.]

Kiros (with a deep roar): — "Gather together! The Kingdom of Mohatu will fall under the shadow of the North. And when Askari's roar echoes… we will see if his power can withstand the fury of those who have never been accepted."

[As war cries echo, the camera pans up to the gray sky. Thunder announces that something ancient is awakening. And somewhere in the Pride Lands, young ASKARI, with his newly formed RED mane, prepares to protect all he has sworn to honor.]
