It was mid-afternoon and the sun was shining bright, lighting the whole kingdom up.
Mufasa and Scar raced each other as they ran from Pride Rock and headed for the watering hole. They were almost there and Mufasa was in the lead when suddenly Scar yelped in pain and Mufasa stopped, only for Scar to run past him laughing.
"Ha," he said "I win again!" Mufasa came up to him and Scar jumped on to a rock so he was higher than him. "I am so the best," he laughed "you're so useless". He jumped down next to Mufasa. Mufasa said nothing, just walked up to the crystal clear water for a drink. Scar watched him for a second and then pounced, knocking Mufasa into the water, at which Mufasa cried out for help as he couldn't swim very well.
Scar stood at the side and watched with an evil look on his face. Mufasa just managed to get to the side though he was cold, wet and shocked. Scar growled and walked off leaving Mufasa to slowly follow.
They went back to Pride Rock. "What happened?" the King asked.
Scar glanced at Mufasa then looked at the King. "Mufasa went to pounce at me, but I moved out the way so he fell in the water" he said quietly. Mufasa went to argue, but the King spoke first.
"Mufasa why can you not behave?" he said sadly. "Just for once be nice to your brother." Mufasa looked down at the floor, not daring to answer back. The King walked off leaving Mufasa and Scar standing together at the edge of the cave.
"Oh dear," Scar said coldly "you're in trouble again".
He walked off into the cave leaving Mufasa alone.
Mufasa went and stood at the very edge of Pride Rock and looked out over the kingdom. Time went by and it was soon late evening and the sun was just starting to disappear. He sat down and watched the sun set and soon the kingdom was in darkness.
Mufasa didn't realise, but Scar had been watching him from the cave. Scar had an evil grin on his face as he began to think through everything. About his plan. His dream. He thought about how one day he would be sitting where Mufasa is. If only he knew what the future held…
