It has been almost a year since Scar took over and the pridelands were already a barren wasteland...many of the animals have left the pridelands,leaving the lions and hyenas with little food and little water.
Nala kicked a rock as she and some of the lionesses were walking back to pride rock after killing a sick zebra.
''The whole pride is starving...we can't keep this up forever,sarabi.'' Nala said to mufasa's widow,who sighed.
''I know,nala...but we must stay strong for now.'' Sarabi said.
''SARABI!'' Scar,who was at pride rock,screamed,causing all the lionesses in the hunting party to cringe,''Did you find a good supply of food!?''
''Scar,there is barely enough food to feet the pride,let alone the hyenas!'' Sarabi shouted,''The food and water supply are running thin!we must move out!''
Scar just frowned at Sarabi and looked at her with that cold,emotionless stare that he always gives the lionesses.
''Very well...hunt in the outlands,but you will be under the hyenas watch.'' Scar sneered.
''Oh,thank you scar!'' Sarafina thanked the corrupt king,''My cub,mheetu,will be very happy with food.''
''I care not about mheetu,sarafina...i care only about the food.'' Scar growled.
This only earned a silent snarl from Sarafina.
''Mom,why is scar so heartless?'' Nala asked her mother.
''He was always overshadowed by mufasa...he led a lion guard,but he let his power get into his head and killed the lion guard when they refused to help him..'' Sarafina replied.
''Oh...do you wish there was something you could have done to prevent scar's change?'' Nala asked and Sarafina nodded.
the lionesses then walked off to the outlands followed by several hyenas.
meanwhile,in a distant jungle...
''Pumbaa,do you need help getting that grub up there?'' Simba asked his friend,who was trying to get a bug that was too high for him to reach.
''Sure do,simba!'' Pumbaa replied as Simba grabbed a couple bugs and gave them to the warthog,who swallowed them whole.
as pumbaa walked off,simba looked at a pond.
''Dad...you told me that you would always be there for me...please show me that you are..just..someday.'' Simba sighed before following his friend.
