Another contest entry at TLKFAA. The theme focused on Simba's life in the Jungle.
Zazu was probably smart enough to connect the dots after he woke up that Scar had knocked him out deliberately, and that Simba's body was nowhere to be found. After grieving for Mufasa, his best friend, and after any potential amnesia wore off, Zazu sneaked away from the pridelands and began a search and rescue for Simba. Zazu will never know how close he came, but every day until he was imprisoned by Scar he kept looking, hoping that he'd find the true king of the Pride.
