[Open] Lion King III: Scars of the past

[Polkadot]

Nala could barely react when Taka attacked a rogue - she was astounded. They could have cleared off easily, without any harm - and suddenly, he sprang onto the lioness. Then, the other two joined in, and the adolescent lioness was paralysed to the hard, infertile ground, watching in shock at the scene playing out before her.
When Taka was knocked unconscious, she couldn't even cry out - her vocal chords suddenly stopped working, stopped functioning. Her body only restored itself when the rogues turned to snarl at her. She sprang into a battle position, her head lower than her back, her claws unsheathed. Preparing for the onslaught, she was relieved to see them running away - away from a group of approaching lionesses. Her lionesses, her family. Nala smiled gratefully at them, but they just glided past like ghosts, hardly acknowledging her. She frowned, her face dropping. Of course, she wasn't important. It was the Prince they were concerned for.
Nevertheless, even in her unwanted state, she couldn't help but gasp when she caught sight of Taka's face - a large slash down his right eye, bleeding mercilessly.
"Like father like son..." Nala echoed the words of a lioness nearby. What did this mean?

[OOC: Those are Scar's true followers xD...don't feel bad Nala D:< -pets-]

Taka was brought back to pride rock along with Nala and Dangaya. Taka was left in the den where his mother could tend to his injuries. Scar was meanwhile passing by when he noticed his son, and smirked wide. "Let that scar teach you, as much as mine taught me." Scar murmured as he wiped some blood off of Taka's face with his paw. He then made his way out the den. Scar looked down to Nala and Dangaya at the den.

"Where did he receive that injury?" Scar asked in monotone.

[Polkadot]

Nala had been sitting in the den with Danganya, not speaking, since they'd returned. She'd greeted her mother, and dried off, warming up in the den.
Scar, the dark King of the moment, appeared; his black mane clashing with the gentle landscape.
"Where did he receive that injury?" The vicious King asked. Nala had to choose her words carefully - she sensed tension in the air.
"We... we went out of the Pridelands. Into rogue's territory... they slashed him." She said clearly. She didn't want to sound scared.

[Baya]

Scar nodded down at Nala. "I see. Next time, please hold him back from going into those lands won't you dear?" Scar asked with a bored look on his face. What confused Scar was why Nala wasn't injured what so ever. It didn't take long for him to put it together though. Little Taka drew the rogue's aggression onto himself, to keep Nala from getting injured. He snorted as he ran his hand through his mane.

Love was a painful thing, and in the end it would destroy Taka the way Scar saw it. Perhaps he would live physically but inside he would die, and no longer be Taka. He'd become something else, something violent and blood thirsty.

[Taka]

Danganya ran out of the den. He was afraid of Scar.
"This way better..." - *sigh*

[Polkadot]

"I will." Nala said quietly, staring at the stony floor. Contrary to her beliefs, instead of injuring her, Scar just walked away... she was confused.
She then set off to find Taka, who was somewhere in Pride Rock.
She walked among the rocks, before finding a cluster of lionesses, Taka centering the crowd. The adolescent pushed her way through the crush - how much damage would that scar leave?

[Baya]

Taka had come out of unconsciousness, and looked around slowly in confusion. He saw the lionesses looking at him in what seemed to be concern, or awe. His right eye stung with immense pain, and he touched a paw to the no longer bleeding wound. His eyes widened and he remembered the fight with that rogue. He looked around for Nala, hoping that she was okay and had not been injured too.
