A Twist of Fate

Ch 1 Two New Lives Begin

It is a beautiful day in the Savannah. The sun was shining brightly sending a sea of colors over the land. King Mufasa of the Pridelands was sitting on the edge of Priderock his heart full of joy. Just yesterday his mate Queen Sarabi had given birth to their son, Simba and today was the day of his presentation. Mufasa looked down as his subjects began to gather around. "Time to see if Sarabi is ready," Mufasa thought to himself as he turned around as walked back towards the cave where he knew his mate was. As he entered the cave the Lion King saw his mate sitting in the middle with a smile on her face.

"I see you're ready," the Queen said giving her mate a nuzzle. Then the tan lioness looked down at her son who was resting between her paws. As if on cue the newborn Prince opened his eyes at looked at his parents with wonder. "I see you're ready too," Sarabi said with a smile giving her son's head a lick.

"It's unanimous then," Mufasa said smiling down at his son. After giving his mate a nuzzle the golden King went to sit at the edge of Pride Rock to await the arrival of Rafiki, his long time friend and the one who would be presenting his son. As if on cue the madrill came walking up the edge of Pride Rock. As he reached the top the old monkey gave the King a hug and the pair walked over to Sarabi and Simba. After spreading juice on the Prince's head Rafiki gently picked up the infant and carried him the the edge of Priderock and held him high for al the animals to see. As Mufasa and Sarabi were watching this they had no idea that trouble was brewing in the near by lands.

Meanwhile in the area known as the Outlands another family had just had a new arrival. A creamy colored lioness named Sarafina had just given birth to her cub. A daughter was born. This worried Sarafina greatly because she knew her mate was bound and determined to have a son. Sarafina just hoped that he would love their daughter all the same. Just then a lion came into the cave who had a brown coat, a jet black mane and emerald green eyes. "Ah Sarafina I heard from the other lionesses that our cub has been born," the lion said walking over to Sarafina and giving her a quick nuzzle.

"Yes Scar our cub is here," Sarafina said moving her paws to reveal a tiny cream colored cub.

"Ah he has your coat I see," Scar said with a slight smile gently nudging the cub. Upon feeling her father's touch the infant opened her eyes. Scar's smile grew even bigger when he saw that his cub had his emerald eyes. "And he has my eyes," he exclaimed. "Exclent. He has the best features from both of us."

"Scar there's something you should know," Sarafina said quietly.

"What is it my dear?" Scar said sweetly looking at his mate.

"Well our cub isn't a he," Sarafina stammered. "Our cub is a she."

"What?" Scar shouted startling Sarafina and causing the newborn to fuss. "Oh shut up you," he hissed at the cub.

"Don't you talk to her like that!" Sarafina snapped pulling her daughter close in order to calm her down. "You scared her. That's why she's crying."

"Oh who cares?" Scar growled rolling his eyes. "She's useless to me anyways."

"How can you say that?" Sarafina gasped horrified.

"Easy," Scar said. "She's not a male. I told you Sarafina that I needed to male child in order to help me take down my brother and claim the throne for myself. I have no use for a girl child. No use at all." With that Scar began to walk away from his mate and daughter when suddenly one of his hyena friends, Shenzi came bounding up to him along with her brothers Banazi and Ed. "Hey ya Scar we've got news," Shenzi declared.

"Yeah from the Pridelands," Banazi piped up. "And it's about your brother."

"Banazi I've told you before I have no intreast in what my so-called brother does unless it involves him dying," Scar said irratiated.

"Oh your gonna want to hear this," Shenzi said with a snicker. "He's got himself a brand new son."

"Oh goody," Scar said rolling his eyes. Then an idea popped into the brown lion's head. "Hmm a son eh? Well well this is intreasting." Scar was stroking his chin as he was speaking a plan forming in his devious mind.

"What's intreasting?" Sarafina asked curious. Scar mearly smile at her as he walked towards her and their daughter. "Scar what's going on?" the creamy lioness asked fearful of what her mate may do.

"Well my dear it looks like us having a daughter isn't a horriable thing after all," Scar declared looking down at his daughter. Sarafina gave her mate a confused look so Scar continued. "It seams my brother has had a son so I figured that we could use our daughter to our advantage."

"How so?" Sarafina asked, still confused.

"Well when she's older we'll just send her into the Pridelands and get to know the little Prince," Scar explaiened. "Then..."

"Then she'll lead him right into a trap," Sarafina finished her blue eyes lighting up. "And Mufasa will come to the rescue and.."

"He'll be ripped to shreads by our little gang here," Scar finished pointing to the large group of hyenas and a few rogue lions they had gathered. "Then you and I shall take the throne as the rightful King and Queen of the Pridelands."

"Oh that brillant," Sarafina exclaimed nuzzling her mate. She looked down at her daughter. "Isn't your Daddy brillant?" Sarafina gave her daughter a nuzzle causing the newborn the giggle. Scar smiled at his daughter, "She's beautiful just like you 'Fina and if the Prince is anything like my brother he'll fall for her easy. Yes he'll fall for little Nala just like I did for you."

"Nala?" Sarafina said rasing her eyebrows slightly. "You want her to be named Nala?"

"You don't like the name?' Scar asked looking at his mate.

"No no I love it," Sarafina declared. "Little Nala you shall be our salvation." Sarafina and Scar both let out evil laughs both of them eagar for the future events to occur.
