My Lion King Forum

In the shadowed lands of pride rock, there were no longer the pure green leaves hanging from the trees. The water had dried up and most of the land was barren, filled with death and decay. A young lion cub could be heard crying. His tears echoed throughout the den atop pride rock. His mother tried her hardest to calm him but there was nothing to soothe him with. Her name was Sarabi and she was once queen of a life filled Pride Lands. Ever since the tyrant Scar had taken over the land itself cried out for help, it pleaded for a hero. Perhaps the time had come for that hero show himself...


Chapter one

“Shh please, my little cub he must not find you.” Sarabi whispered calmly into the weeping cub's ears. "I know you are hungry but we have little food and must make it last."

A lioness in her teen years ran to the back of the cave where the former queen remained hidden. She was one of the few who knew of this cub though she never had the chance to meet him she always did her best to protect him. "Sarabi! Scar is coming hide him quickly!"

"Thank you Nala." Sarabi said. She moved the cub deeper into the shadows that surrounded them. Quickly she started to sob herself. She was fully aware that if he were to be found they would be killed. Little did this cub know, he was the last heir alive of the past king, Mufasa. Sarabi, Nala and the rest of the pride had hoped that one day, he would grow old enough to fight Scar and take the Pride Lands back from his evil rule.

Scar entered the back of the cave furious. Immediately he noticed the sobbing former queen. “I heard crying! you wouldn't happen to be mourning your deceased mate again would you Sarabi?” Being the unjust king that Scar was, he forbid anyone mention the name of his deceased older brother, let alone mourn him. He approached Sarabi in a most threatening way. "I'm sure you are aware of my laws..."

Sarabi started to back away, “I'm sorry, but some of us have feelings scar. You wouldn't know anything about that though, would you?” She snapped. She hated Scar, not just for being the tyrant that he was. With the passing of Mufasa, he was so quick to take what he thought was his rightful place to the throne that there was little say from the lionesses in the matter.

Scar stopped in his tracks, he looked at Sarabi almost hurt by words she spoke. “Believe me Sarabi, I have more feelings then you would know and you certainly have done a good job in hurting them... Shenzi! Bonzai! Ed!” His yell echoed throughout the cave. Three hyena came running into the back of the den, followed by many others. They were ugly inhumane creatures that had helped scar take his rule of the throne, in return Scar gave the hyena the little food that was left within the Pride Lands.

"Yeah boss?" one of the head hyena asked. She was one of the few females among them and she was intelligent, well as far as intelligent goes for hyenas.

“I believe I may have found you some scraps of meat.” Scar said laughing maniacally as he walked out of the cave

Nala was astonished that Scar would do such a thing. Had he lost his mind? “You won't lay a hand on either of us if you know whats good for you!” Nala growled, putting herself between Sarabi and the army of hyena.

The second of the three top hyena, stepped towards Nala mockingly. He was known as Bonzai. he licked his lips as he spoke. “ You know whats good for me? A nice juicy piece of lioness!” Bonzai said as he started to laugh along with his hyena comrades

As the hyena closed in on Nala a bright blue bird flew overhead into the cave. His name was Zazu, he used to be king Mufasa's majordomo and he to hated everything that had occurred due to scar's reign he started pecking at the hyena closest to Nala. "I know I'll pay dearly for this, but you will not lay a hand on them!"

“Come on Sarabi, Grab the cub and lets get out of here quickly!” Nala yelled. She led the way through the corridors of the cave. They had to run straight through Scar's throne room to reach freedom.

Scar had been trying to catch a mouse when Sarabi ran through the cave carrying the young lion. Scar made eye contact with Sarabi for a moment as she ran past him. "Is that... a cub?!" He roared. "Quickly after them you fools, I'll deal with the traitor bird!"

The hyena chased after the two lionesses, leaving Scar alone with Zazu. "So, you like keeping secrets Zazu?"
