TLK 1
"No, Nala, I've told you already, I can't go back! I won't be of any use there, anyway..."
The golden lion faced off against his best friend and lover, her aquamarine eyes narrowed in hurt and anger.
"Simba..."
"Just, stop. I can't do it and that's final." He turned away from her, his own wine-red eyes filled with turmoil and hurt from his past. How could he ever face the lionesses, his mother, with his guilt? His heart was much too heavy...
"All right, Simba. So be it. But you will never see me again," Nala said quietly, and her voice was deadly and serious. She stalked off out of the jungle without another word, and Simba never looked back.
Those years during Scar's reign were said to be the worst in lion history, causing the deaths of all but one lioness in the pride. Her name was unknown, but it was rumored that her beauty was unmatched by any other...
TLK 2
Zira hunched down, an evil, eager grin marring her once-beautiful face.
"This is for you, Scar..."
She lunged straight at Simba, all of her strength behind her legs and all the force she could muster lifting her into the air. Her jaws were open, and her claws remained unsheated, sharp, brutal, and deadly.
"No!" A golden blur, paired with a feminine shriek, flew towards Zira...and missed. Kiara watched with wide, fearful eyes as the evil lioness seemed to fly towards her father in slow motion... Zira's powerful jaws found Simba's throat, and her claws wrapped around his head in a fearsome bear-hug. She would never let go...
Simba struggled, his movements becoming more and more feeble as the lioness upon him strangled him, her jaws surrounding his windpipe. He struck out and slashed at her belly with his back paws, giving her gashes that would surely kill her. Blood pooled all around them, flecks of it dotting the lionesses around the pair as they tried to separate Zira's jaws from Simba's throat. But the crazed lioness was holding on, willing to die and bring the lion king with her...
"Simba! GET OFF OF HIM! YOU'RE KILLING HIM! NOOO!" Nala's screams were terrible as they filled the air, and she desperately tried to wedge herself between her mate and Zira, but to no avail. The struggles had finally stopped.
Zira made a single jerking movement, effectively ripping the vital part of the lion king from him. Her eyes blinked once before she smiled.
"All for you, love..."
Kovu and Kiara stood, shell-shocked and horrified, behind the pride lionesses and Nala. Their mournful roars and cries made their ears hurt with the keening noise...Nala's was the loudest and most terrible of all.
The lion king was dead.
...passion, colors, everything
The songs I sing, from way out there to deep within
The face I wear behind my grin
The price I pay for my original sin
Everything, everything, everything... -Poets of the Fall
