"The Birth of Vitani/p

"Scar had mated with every lioness in the Pride and his main follower Zira had given birth to Nuka. But Nuka was a weak cub and Scar denounced him. He even told Zira that Nuka was an ugly skinny weakling and he tried to kill the scrawny cub but Zira had knocked him down and almost slashed his throat. He decided it would not be wise to make an enemy of Zira. Zira and her group of lionesses had wandered into the Pridelands and Scar liked them. Along with the hyenas they would become a loyal guard force. So he decided that if letting a scrawny cub live would insure Zira's loyalty, it was a small price to pay. Most of the other lionesses had given birth to females and he wanted to kill them too but decided for now they would stay alive. He longed to have a better son and he wanted to have one with a young good looking lioness so he announced to everyone that he was choosing Nala to be his queen./p

"Nala was scared but she submitted to Scar's advances. There was no love lost between them He did tell her that she would help him rule if she produced a worthy heir. Within a month Nala became pregnant and she gave birth to a robust female cub. Nala named the cub Vitani. She had Nala's pelt and gorgeous blue eyes but she had the features of her father. Yet she was still beautiful and her nose was pink. Nala was thrilled to have her. But when Scar came to see her with his new daughter he was very disappointed. "You were supposed to give me a son. What do I need with a useless female? Give her to me and I will dispose of her. There is no point in letting her live." Nala got up and snarled at him"She could rule as a queen , Scar! She is healthy!. She could be your heir! Why not let her live?"/p
p style="margin-bottom: 0in;""Very well," the cruel king replied. "I will let her live until she is weaned. Then you had better find another lioness to take care of her because I will not have you wasting your time on her when you could be ruling alongside me and producing a son. YOU WILL GIVE ME A SON NEXT TIME NALA! If you produce another female, I will kill it!"/

;""You wouldn't!" Nala exclaimed. "How can you be so cruel?"

""It is for the good of the kingdom, Nala! I need a strong male heir to continue in my place when I am gone!. You had better produce a son for me the next time! And when this cub of yours is weaned you will find another lioness to take care of her and if you do not I will kill her! So you had better make arrangements for her care as soon as possible. I will expect you to have her caregiver found in a month. Now I need to meet with the hyenas." Scar left Nala crying and wondering who would take care of her daughter Vitani
