A new day had begun. A new king was to be wed into the world. Sunlight poured over the Pridelands allowing every creature see. The only difference was there was a part in the clouds. It was right above the out-pointing-tip of Priderock. This was the sighn. The sighn that a new King had been born.

King Ahadi, the present king was good and wise. He was kind to all creatures of the ground and respected every bird in the sky. He was a good king. We'll respected and sharp at tasks. But he had some strong views on certain points. And those views are what caused the mayhem of Scar's Rule.

This is the story of the past.

Ahadi stood on the rock tip. His head was held high and his tail was low. His back was in a perfectly strait line. This was how he stood when he called all the creatures for an event. Today, his son was born. The son that would someday have another son that joined the two prides. There was only one problem.

Uru had had two cubs.

Both were male. Both weighed exactly the same and both seemed to have the same amount of brightness in their eyes. The only difference is that one had a darker pelt. He was the one that had taken after his mother. But color didn't matter. Not to Ahadi.

Age mattered.

Uru named them days before they were born. The new, young, but wise shaman named Rafiki had told her she would have two cubs.

To Ahadi this was a disgrace.

Uru had chosen the names Mufasa and Taka. Taka, who would later be named Scar due to the deep mark his father had given him, and Mufasa who would be known as one of the greatest kings ever to be born. The oldest, Mufasa was a strong and lively cub while his brother was just as bright but seemed to be calmer. This didn't matter to Ahadi, whoever was older was the one to become king.

That cub of course would be Mufasa.

When Ahadi walked into the den. He smiled seeing his mate. But he frowned seeing his two young sons. He loved him of course. He loved the oldest. His view was that the oldest must breach first, and the youngest would be in complete orders of the older.

Rafiki, young, and new to the decision was escorted by King Ahadi himself. He perched Rafiki in front of Uru and her sons. "Choose" he commanded. "Take the oldest and continue, do nothing to the younger" Rafiki, to nerves to voice his opinion, broke open a gourd from his cane. He dipped his thumb into the juice and spread it across Mufasa's forehead. Then he picked up some sand and sprinkled it across the gourds juice.

Mufasa just stared at Rafiki with his bright eyes and gave a slight laugh due to the sand tickling him. Rafiki leaned down, picked up Mufasa, held him against his chest and began to walk outside. Uru, Ahadi, and all of the other lionesses followed behind. Once out the young shaman walked to the very tip of Priderock. Without hesitation Rafiki thrusted Mufasa gentle into the air, showing Ahadi's Kingdom, their new king.

Animal cry's were everywhere. Each and every one of them praising the new king and giving him joyous wishes. The zebras shouted and stamped their feet. The birds spewed their voices as high as they could go. Elephants howled. Every animal was showing the king that they were the servants of his kingdom. Then slowly they died down, and they all bowed. The clouds parted one more time and a ray of light struck Mufasa was such gaze. The animals continued to bow. Each and every one of them realizing that Ahadi would step down soon and Mufasa would rule as king.

Behind Rafiki and Mufasa, Ahadi and Uru stood smiling at their son. It had taken them awhile to be able to finally have cubs. Each of them were full of pride and wisdom. Each thinking how Mufasa would become a great ruler, and a wise king. Mufasa, high up on the air, giggled. The ceremony seemed to enlighten him.

But all this time, Taka had been left in the den.
