Our story takes place in the shadowed lands of pride rock, where the water has dried and leaves have fallen. A young lion cub's tears could be heard throughout the cave where Sarabi, the once queen of the land tries to calm him.“Shh please, my little cub he must not find you.”
Nala, a young lioness comes running to the back of the cave. “Sarabi! Scar is coming, hide him quickly!”
If he were to be found he would be killed, for he was a descendent of the past king Mufasa. “I heard crying! you wouldn't happen to be mourning your husband, would you Sarabi?” Scar, Mufasa's younger brother had become an unjust king. He wouldn't let anyone even mention the name Mufasa, let alone mourn him.
“I'm sorry, but some of us have feelings scar. You wouldn't know anything about that though, would you?” Sarabi replied with a hint of resentment in her voice.
“Believe me Sarabi, I have more feelings then you would know and you certainly have done a good job in hurting them... Shenzi! Bonzai! edd!”
Several hyena came running into the cave three of which stepped forward “Yeah boss?” Shenzi asked
“I believe I may have found you some scraps of meat.” Scar said laughing as he walked out of the cave”
“You won't lay a hand on either of us if you know whats good for you!”
“ You know whats good for me? A nice piece of lioness!” Bonzai said as he started to laugh along with his hyena comrades
“Come on Sarabi, Grab the cub and lets get out of here quickly while they're distracted!” Nala rushed Sarabi out of the cave.
They ran for days to get away from the hyena's but if they stopped even if only for a second they would always here the maniacal laughter right behind them. “Nala, I can't keep running like this... I'm going to attempt to fight them off! Please take my son and run!”
Nala nodded “Be safe Sarabi!”Nala Continued to run with the young lion cub, they both were silent whether it be for the lack of things to say or in fear the hyena's were still on their tails was unsure.
Then the young cub spoke “Is, my mom going to be ok?”
Nala didn't know what to say, so she stayed silent for a few moments... finally she responded “I really don't know.”
“How could we just leave her there like that?” The cub asked
“She did what she had to, she needed to make sure you got away from them!” Nala snapped at him. The young cub started to cry.“I'm sorry I shouldn't have yelled. It's hard for me too she was a good friend of mine... So what's your name?”
He started to snuffle “My name is Ushujaa, it means Courage...but you can call me Shujaa if you want. ”
“You can call me Nala, nice to meet you...”
“You to!” Ushujaa was excited to finally make a friend. The two lions made there way out of the Pride Lands...
