[Private: QOPR and Naki] Shadowland

[AdAstrα]

Formerly known as "The Lion King: Nala's Story"

This is a private RP between Nakisia and myself about what happened in the Pridelands during Scar's reign,his attempts to seduce Nala and her starting an uprising against him.

Nakisia: Scar,Sarafina
QueenofPrideRock: Nala,Sarabi

NPC's: Zira,Rafiki,Zazu,Simba (maybe)

------------

{Camera change to Scar addressing the lionesses by the moon on Pride Rock.}

Scar: Mufasa's death was a terrible tragedy; but to lose Simba, who had barely begun to live...


{Camera pans around the lionesses. Some of them, with Zazu, are comforting Sarabi, who bends her head in extreme pain. Nala is rubbing against her mother's paw, crying.}

Scar: ...For me it is a deep personal loss. So it is with a heavy heart that I assume the throne. Yet, out of the ashes of this tragedy, we shall rise to greet the dawning of a new era... {The hyenas start emerging, casting eerie green shadows and laughing hollowly} ...in which lion and hyena come together, in a great and glorious future! {Scar ascends Pride Rock as the hyenas appear in full force.}

A tender breeze stroked Sarabi's cheek as she opened up her eyes,facing yet another dawn without her loved ones by her side. She dwelled not so much on the welfare of the kingdom and what would happen to it now that Scar was going to let the hyenas in,but on what she could possibly have done to prevent the accident from ever happening. Rage would come later,for sure,but this was a time for mourning. Trying to move on despite the fact that life as she knew it was over,shattered. Broken,and beyond repair.
She glanced up at the crimson sky. All stars had faded but one,still shining down upon her even as morning approached. Fragments of a soul peering down at her,wondering how she was coping. Deprived of earth life,but still present.
Still close.

"Sarabi?" A scared voice asked. "Is that you?" The voice was Sarafinas, and she was scared for her friend. when she saw tears on her face, Sarafina ran to her friend, and began to nuzzle her. "Sarabi... do you need to talk to me?" her friend asked concern in her voice. Sarafina turned away from her friend for a moment and called out "Nala, come here!". Sarafina then turned her head back, looking at her friend, thinking they were alone, How wrong she was.

Hidden in the shadows, Scar was there, Smiling at the scene blow him. One day soon, they will all be mine He thought evilly, laughing to himself, he waited to see what would happen next

[AdAstrα]

Sarabi looked at Sarafina. "I'm...I just feel..empty." she sniffled,her voice quivering. "I..I don't even know what to do anymore,I.." Her voice cracked and she let out a great,shuddering sob of pain and despair. If it was always going to be this hard..she wasn't sure she had the strength to move on..

Nala gazed from her mother to Sarabi. Her tears reminded her of the fact that neither Simba,her best friend,nor Mufasa: the great king she had always respected but also liked so much,would ever come back. This realization made her sad,but she could not cry. She overlooked the savannah, spotted a group of hyenas and felt a shiver down her spine; she had not forgotten the adventure at the elephant graveyard. A thought crossed her mind seconds later. What if Simba had,somehow,escaped the stampede? What if he was still out there somewhere,lost and unable to find his way back home?

[Nakisisa]

"Ohh sarabi" Sarafina said, as she nuzzled her best friend, "There in a better place, they#ll never be hurt again" she said, "Nala come here please" see said quietly, a small idea forming in her mind.

Scar just stayed and watched, wanting to know what Sarafina would do

[AdAstrα]

"I know.." Sarabi said,nodding, "But I feel so lost,Sarafina.." She blinked,tears running down her cheeks.

Nala turned around and walked up to her mother. "What?" she asked.

[Nakisisa]

"Sarabi... Would you like to help me raise Nala?" Sarafina asked, pulling her daughter close

Scar was shocked by what was said, but he stayed silent, waiting for his moment

[AdAstrα]

Sarabi stared at Sarafina for a few moments without saying anything. She then nodded,beaming at Nala; the little cub who so reminded her of Simba. "Yes,I..I would like to." she said. "Thank you,Saffy." Her eyes filled up with tears once again.
Nala glanced at her. She didn't quite understand what it was that Sarabi was going to help her mother with,but she didn't question it. It appeared to be making Sarabi a little bit happier,which was a good thing. Nala did not want her to be so sad all the time,she didn't deserve that.

[Nakisisa]

Sarafina smiled happily, and even gave sarabi a small lick. "Thank you my friend" Sarafina beamed. "Are you okay with this Nala?" Sarafina asked, looking at her daughter

Scar was eulogised by Sarabis decision, but had to wait out longer before he could act.

[AdAstrα]

"Yeah,I don't mind." Nala said quickly,looking up at her mother.
Sarabi smiled,her eyes still watery but her heart a little lighter. She gave Sarafina a nuzzle in return before moving closer to Nala,who gently placed her soft little paw on hers. It occured to Sarabi that Nala,too,had lost someone close to her,that she had loved Simba like a brother rather than a friend.

[Nakisisa]

Scar quickly turned and made his way quickly made his back to the den.

Sarafina smiled, and let the two of them have a moment before she spoke. "Do you want to..." she said before a shout echoed through the land. "SARABI!!!" it was Scar
