Scar knew that this was the end. The hyenas had shredded him into a bloody mess. There malicious laughter rang in his ear. Scar didn't know how long he was bleeding there. Eventually rain began to pour down on to him smothering the flames as they crackled in protest. The rain mixed into the puddle of blood that had begun to form underneath him. He watched to puddle of blood start to wash away. Suddenly he heard a familiar voice "Scar". She ran over to him her eyes frantic. She took one look at his wound and started to lick it vigorously. Scar knew that these last moments were vital. They were his only chance to appoint a new heir. Mustering up all of his strange he said, " Its no use I am already so close to death" " No, no we can get you some help I won't let you die Scar. The lionesses image was starting to get fuzzy " Listen to me I don't have a lot of time" he was cut off by a fit of coughing. The female lioness started to open her mouth to speak but Scar cut her off. "K-Kovu is to b-be the new king" Scar's vision was so blurry that he could only she the lioness's outline. With his last bit of strength Scar tried to speak but his words only came out in a whisper that only the lionesses could hear. "Forgive me Zira". Scar's eyes closed slowly as he gave in to death. Zira cried out in anguishing over her dead mate.
