"To think, you're what I'm left with" Zira muttered, finally turning from her son and walking off a bit.
"That's not true, Aunt Zira" Nyx tried to reassure. "You have Kovu and Vitani, they...".
"Are gone. They have betrayed us!" Zira snarled.
Nyx backed up, her eyes going wide. While Nuka looked thoughtful and then grinned, thinking through how this opened up the position of his parents favor up for him. He quickly hid his smile though.
"Well, uh...I could...take over some of their...duties if..." Nuka began. His mother, again, just walked past him though, leaving both him and Nyx to process what she'd told them.
"Wow...Kovu and Vitani. Gone" Nyx stated, "that's just..." she paused sniffing the air, "Hey? You smell that?".
"This could make me the next Chosen One..." Nuka was muttering to himself, obviously not paying attention and lost in his own little world of ambition. He really had inherited his father's jealous drive, he just lacked the brains.
"Nevermind, I'll go investigate it myself" Nyx walked off, sniffing and following the scent...

Zira walked until she found Scar within the other Outsiders. "The Pridelanders have stolen yet another thing from us. Our hope is gone. Kovu and Vitani have betrayed us" she stated, telling her mate the news straight out. If there were any not afraid of Scar, Zira was it. In fact she often felt she could tell him what to do, though he was of course their leader and she agreed to that as she had back when they ruled the Pridelands.
