For a long time now Taka had felt that he wasn't needed around pride rock anymore. He felt cast out like a shadow from an object, an object… that is exactly what he is. He is the epitome of the loneliness and hatred that is in his heart. Today he felt especially low; his brother Mufasa was prancing around their father to tell him the family pride and advice. He was soon going to be the king of Pride Rock and Taka didn't like it one bit.

Their father was walking towards the exit of the cave, to go on his morning stroll, he was going to take Mufasa with him. They didn't even notice Taka standing in the doorway. So, like an annoying little brother, Taka put his paw out and tripped Mufasa. Mufasa fell with a great thud and looked up at Taka, who was smiling.

"Have a nice trip see ya next fall! hahaha!" He enjoyed things like that; he would over extend himself for the glimpse of some one he didn't like beneath him.

"Gosh you're so annoying." Mufasa pushed himself off the dusty floor and flung a dirty look in Taka's direction.

"Well exxcuussee me! Mr. Mustafa! hehe!" Taka knew that his older brother didn't like that name so he used it as often as he possibly could. "Is my older brother going some where?" Taka asked trying to get their father to leave him here while they talked.

"Oh go sit your self in the middle of a stampede." With that Mufasa left, not wanting to get left behind.

"Oh I'm hurt" Taka flung a paw over his eyes. He then went to the watering hole to catch up on the latest gossip. He got there just as all the animals were getting their midmorning drink. He hunkered down and begun to drink, listening to the animals beside him.

"Oh did you hear about earl?" a couple of small Gazelle were talking.

"No…what happened?"

"He was run over by that man made contraption last night."

"Didn't he try to run?"

"No, that's the strange part, it was like he couldn't move, and he was murmuring something about pretty lights... it was weird "

"Oh really? Poor guy, did any body tell his wife?"

"Uh I don't think so I guess we better go tell her." The Gazelles trotted off toward the herd and a few hyenas came in their place.

"That giant golden lion was mean." One of them said.

"Yeah tell me about it, that little one wasn't easy either." The female said.

"Ed?" They both said together looking at the third hyena.

"Hehehehahahahaha!" Ed said. His vacant expression told Taka that the lights weren't all on upstairs. But he was curious about the lions that they ran into. He crept closer and kept listening.

" Man, I hate lions…"

"Yeah, they're so pushy."

"And stinky."

"And Man are theeeyyy uuuuggglllyyy!" They both said it together and started laughing.

"Oh surely we lions aren't all that bad?" Taka stopped their laughing and stared at them.

"Oh no, we are so sorry we didn't see you there…uh…sir?" The female said.
