Our story starts not long after Simba reclaimed the throne. Good days had finally begun for the Pride Lands. The evil king Scar was gone, and the rightful king Simba had returned. The land was coming back to life again, thanks to the wise and caring king. But the king had not done it all alone. Simba had family and friends by his side. His most helpful supporter was Nala, his childhood friend. The king and his new queen vowed love, loyalty and devotion to each other. Peace and harmony had returned to the Pride Lands… at least for a while.

Zira, Scar's loyal follower and mother of his son, had trouble accepting Simba as the new king. Although everybody had suffered during Scar's reign, Zira still loved him blindly. From the moment of Scar's death, Zira swore on revenge on Simba. One day, she would have her chance… She would make him pay… Until then, she would try to hide her true feeling… But she could not fool everyone… "I'm surprised she hasn't tried to do anything stupid! At least not yet." Laini said to the group of lioness. "Sshhh, Laini! I think Zira has adapted pretty well…" said a lioness, who was sitting next to Laini. "I don't trust her. She'll cause trouble eventually…" Naanda told the lionesses. "Oh, Naanda, always so optimistic!" said Miti. "I'm a realist, Miti. What do you think Zira will do when Simba exiles her son? She'll never accept that." Naanda said. "But why would he…?" Miti asked. "Well, I don't think Simba would tolerate other adult males in the pride especially sons of Scar. Otherwise, history could repeat itself!" stated Naanda, all the while Zira was looking at them with anger and shock written on her face.

"But mom, Scar was our father too. What if Simba wants to exile us?" Ikhala asked her mother. "Oh, I'm sure he doesn't think of you as a threat." Naanda told her three daughters. "Hah, maybe he should…" Majira said with a sort of anger look in her face. "What do you mean, Majira? I don't like the tone of your voice." Naanda scolded her daughter. "Oh, I'm sorry… We're just not quite happy with this situation, that's all." said Majira and she look at her sisters and they all the look of hatred on their faces. "We used to be princesses, but now we're just ordinary lionesses. We used to be special… Now we're nothing." stated Impi. "Special? What are you talking about?" asked Naanda and the screamed at her daughters, "Do you think your position in the pride was different during Scar's reign? He had several cubs with several lionesses! Do you really believe he cared about you the slightest bit? How naïve and childish are you?" Her daughters look at her with anger and the rest of the lionesses look at Naanda with shock. "Well, he cared about us more than you ever did, that's for sure… dear mother." Ikhala said. "Yeah, you never even wanted us in the first place…" said Impi. As they walked away from their mother and Zira just stood there with an evil smile on her face.

"I think Naanda is right Zira might cause trouble." said Laini. "Yeah, Laini, but I just don't think Simba would exile Nuka…" said a lioness who was sitting next to Laini."I think it would be good if he did. Nuka is cute now, but what will he be like as he grows up? I don't want a new Scar." Miti told the lionesses. "I bet Zira does…" remarked Naanda. Meanwhile in Zira's part of Pride Rock, she had heard what the other lionesses had said, and this had made her sad. She started remembering the time Scar had died. "Oh, my poor Scar…" she had said to herself, as she flashbacked. "Scar… Scar, don't die! Don't leave me!" Zira said to Scar. "Zi-Zira… Zira… Help me… Don't let me die… Don't let me be forgotten… *cough cough*" Scar pleaded with Zira. "Scar…" Zira said with sadness and tears in her eyes. "You must find me an heir. Teach him to be like me… but better. I will live through him… In that way, I will never die. Don't repeat my mistakes, learn from them. Help me, Zira… My friend… My queen…" Scar told Zira, and with that said he was gone. Zira showed her rage by striking the air.

"Scar, forgive me… I tried to avenge you. But I failed…" said Zira, before she flashed back again. "NO! SCAR! *sob* NOOOO! DON'T LEAVE ME! Scar… RROAAR! *cry* Why? Whyyy?!" Zira went on as Scar laid unmoving in her arms. Simba had come past to see if any lions where traped by the fires. "Hey, you! Come quick, or you'll burn!" Simba told Zira. Zira looked at Simba with a look anger on her face and tears in her eyes. "*growl* MURDERER!" She screamed at Simba as she jumped to attack him. "Wha…?" Simba started. But Simba had moved out of her way, and she had almost jumped off the side of the cliff. "AARGH!" She screamed as she tried to save herself, Simba reached down to try and help her. "Please, let me help you! Give me your paw!" Simba said. Zira thought to herself. 'It would be so easy to just let go… I could be with Scar again… But how can I fulfil his wish if I die?' she said as she looked down at the flames. 'It looks like Scar's killer is my only hope…' as she looked at Simba with fear. And then she reached for his paw, so he could pull her up to safety.
