Mzuri was born to a lone female, he never knew his father, he and his mother would walk for some time each day and he would be left alone while his mother hunted, the traveling was needed as his mother was searching for a pride so she could have the support the pride would offer in raising Mzuri.
When Mzuri was a few months old they came across a group of 5 lions, Mzuri admired the largest of the group who introduced himself as Askari leader of the lion guard. Mzuris mother replied with her name along with saying Mzuri was her son, she asked this lion guard if they had a pride she could join and they lead them to a large rock, there they meet the king Askaris brother, he allowed Mzuri and his mother to join the pride.
Mzuri would spend his cub hood following around Askaris guard, he loved to watch them patrol but would often be left in the dust should something major come up, Lucky for Mzuri he had a few friends who he would go find when this would happen.
Mzuri trained to be the best he could be , inspired by the guard, he was a young adult when the news of Askari being ill came , the guard would patrol with out him but without a clear leader patrols took longer, the newly crowned queen of the pridelands (after Askaris brother passed) grew more worried for her uncle most the pride waited for any news on the prides protector , when it came it was not good, Askari had complete his journey on the circle of life. This shocked the pride Mzuri as well, who would lead the guard now?
Mzuri was there when the lion guard said they would go on without a leader until the next guard was ready, the queen was expecting cubs and they would take over once at the right age,the queen did not sound happy with this, Mzuri then stood and offered to lead the guard in place of Askari, the others agreed and he became the second leader of the guard.
Mzuri did alright as leader but he knew he was no Askari , he felt the other member judge him at time but Mzuri found he enjoyed patroling, soon the guard did accept him and helped keep the pride lands in a state of calmness and happiness, but Mzuri over the time had started to feel a pull to leave , to roam much like his mother before him.
When the queen had her cubs they where to be shown off to the kingdom Mzuri couldnt help but see if using the roar safely could call apon just Askari, on the morning of he went and performed the roar, to his surprise it worked, atleast he thinks it did,the clouds did look like askari, Mzuri would be remembered by this act as the grieving pride also saw it as Askari, this would soon start a tradition in the pridelands of a newly made king/queen roaring over the pridelands.
No eventful things happened for the next while, Mzuri knew soon the queens cub would form his own guard and Askaris guard would retire ,he started to think about leaving and talking to it with the queen ,she agreed to allow him to roam. When the day came that the queens cub found the roar Mzuri said his goodbyes to the pride and left to be alone.
Mzuri would not return to the pridelands but he is remembered by the trashdishion he started. Mzuri would meet a lioness and over time the two became close and soon mates they would go on to create a pride of their own, The pamoja pride.
