The Ancient Outpost

The Ancient Outpost is a comic based on The Lion Guard that is featured in issue 14 of The Lion Guard Magazine.

There are 2 paths for the reader to choose, and both lead to the same outcome.

Summary
The Lion Guard are visiting a dry area of the Pride Lands, an area which they rarely venture to. Kion explains how he heard from Rafiki that the old Lion Guard used to have a shelter in this location. As he is speaking, a rock breaks away, landing him on a ledge just below the rest of the Guard.

Bunga wonders how they will get him back up, and Beshte suggests using some vines. But Kion locates an opening in the rocks, with the Mark of the Guard displayed at the top. While Kion enters, Beshte realises that there must be another entrance, and Ono tells everyone that his keen sight can help them find it.

Kion's path
Kion is excited to enter the Shelter of the Lion Guard, with no one having set foot in there for years. His excitement is cut short when he discovers several paths. But just as he is about to return, he spots the Mark of the Guard on one of the rocks. Kion uses the official Mark of the Guard markings in the cave to guide him, ignoring the fake marks put there by the Great Lions of the Past to mislead intruders.

Ono's path
The Guard are unable to find another entrance. Fuli is adamant that the alternate entrance will be marked with the Mark of the Guard like Kion's entrance. Bunga sees a mark which turns out to be just mud and gives up. Ono takes a peek from above, and notices a large Mark of the Guard in the mud, indicating the other entrance.

Ending
Using the other entrance, the rest of the Guard meet up with Kion. Bunga is about to exit, but Kion notices another Mark of the Guard and wishes to investigate. They follow a deep tunnel, which leads them to a ledge outside which overlooks the Pride Lands, and Kion realises that this must be the secret of the secret shelter.
