Thought many of you would rejoice to hear that I am currently spending my time to improve my story that later was rebooted by Disney's talented writer, Ford Riley. Quiet a bit changed in terms of character names, locations and also catchphrases and also songlike, but still the the plot remained the exact same exciting storyline with its slowly upbuilding tension and mystery that was later to become a for television produced a smash hit known as the Lion Guard series that was shaped for both, young and old generations alike to enjoy on the whole world.

Something I actually always refused to do, making this novel available to a greater and also public audience. But oh well, what can you do when you send a working draft of this story with a personal letter attached to it to the Disney Studios with the plea to give it towards Andreas Deja, who is able to understand the language German, because his father orignated from there.

Back in 2009 when it wasn't nearly finished I didn't think that this would ever become anything. After all I never got an answer from the Animation Studios and I can assure you I've waited a long time for it up until almost 2 years.

Well, at least now I'm sure why that was. They didn't intend to share the gorgeous idea to use something that wasn't their own idea after all but mine to me from the get go.

Honestly to be true to you, now that I see what they have made of it, despite all those changes regarding the swahilian name for characters and locations and also seeing that with the creation of the wise and helpful character Kuchimba (that means to dig or to dig something as in very much like something in swahili) and by using the Backstreet boys to perform an motivational song, which also was part of my old script with the wisdomy firefly named Nuru (meaning light) who helps Malicia find her way in the unknown far away from home and encourages her to not be afraid, because there's nothing to be afraid of they KINDA GAVE A SHOUTOUT TO ME AFTER ALL.

You see Disney already knew my former youtube channel called diglion and had many times deleted personal videos that I uploaded on there. Now I also know the reason behind that, too. And Kuchimba is in terms of being a miniversion of young Kion, character design and colorlike wise a very plausible dedication towards me to give me the credits for creating such a good and thrilling story. But of course this very obvious will nobody else notice but myself, after all no one knew that I once had had an account on youtube that was called like that.

Reminishing about those good ol' times, when I was still at the beginning of Malicia later renamed Queen Malika's (who got later in the show transfered into a male lion named Kion) I figured it wouldn't do those to persons to which I own the pleasure and thankfulness of having inspired and encouraged me to write this whole epic tale in the first place to simply NOT COMPLETE it like I always intended it to be.

So I'm now in the middle of betareading, that means enhancing some plotholes and correcting many grammar and other mistakes in The Lion King IV:Gifts from Upendi.

If when I later on this day posted a survey about whether you want to be able to read the very first working draft of this and enough people vote on it for this I will begin to post this in the Fanfiction forum up on The Lion King Fanfiction.

'''Let me guys think what you think about publishing the very first working draft for it on the Lion King Fanfiction site down below in the comments or message page on my profil site.

Do you think I should or should't make this early concept piece available?

Would you like to read it and see how it later was changed to longer see any logical connection between it and the Lion Guard series, but it really is way more clear to see than some might think...'''
