Summary[]

"The wisdom on the wall"

The Mark of Evil

Sliding down the slope
As the Lion Guard proceeds, they discover another painting on the wall. Bunga tries to decode it in Makini's absence but fails. Beshte agrees with Kion that bringing Makini down could be dangerous when suddenly the ground beneath his feet breaks. The cracks spread over to Kion, Fuli, and Bunga, and all but Ono fall onto a rock slide. Ono notices some sharp rocks ahead, and Beshte skids to a halt, grounding himself. The rest of the Guard bump into Beshte, safe from harm. Fuli questions how they will return to land, but Kion notices another pathway. Reminding them that the chamber is deep, the Lion Guard follows it down.

The next hint

The "invisible" bridge
Bunga decides to leap over the crevasse, much to the horror of his friends. But instead of falling down when his jump wasn't enough, he instead lands on what appears to be thin air. It doesn't take long for Ono to work out that there is, in fact, a bridge over to the other side, and that it's an optical illusion. The Guard cross over and Makini excitedly informs them that she'll paint the invisible bridge when they return. Fuli questions her on how she'll paint an invisible bridge, and Makini realizes that she can't.

Fuli's test

The final test
Bunga ponders on what Kion's test could be, but in doing so, he accidentally walks into a rock that sets off a small avalanche. With everyone trapped in total darkness, Kion begins to roar softly in order to get a feel for his surroundings. With the others stumbling over one another, Kion asks them to follow his voice, while he uses his roar to determine empty areas and locate a pathway out using his echo.
The group finally locate the exit and are in awe at the final chamber, which is decorated with small pillars containing more paintings. They are soon called over by Makini, who locates the story of what happened all those years ago.

The Chamber

“The great force to defeating great evil is here, it’s...us”

Till the Pride Lands end...
Makini apologizes, with her belief that she could have noticed the signs earlier and thus saved the Guard the hassle of going through the tests in the first place. But Kion states how much they needed to go through them so that they knew they were worthy. Filled with new invigoration, the Lion Guard peers up at the Mark of the Guard painting on the wall and cry out their battle cry, ready to take on Scar.
