Vengeance

by The Forgotten Disciple

This follows the story of Namaka, a lion driven by a dark spirit to seek vengeance on Simba

1. Prologue

Namaka's Journey of Vengeance

Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged.

(Samuel Johnson).

The tale which follows is not one which should be regarded as one which will eventually lead to a warm, happy conclusion. I venture to tell the truth about a lion whose soul, due to a vicious tragedy, was torn in two. The lion who was viewed as a warm, caring and intelligent lion and transformed into a cold, angry and calculating creature with a thirst for revenge.

I tell this story because it was one which my father told me and I fear that the true details may be lost in the different translations of the tale.

This is the story of the lion whose name has become lost in time, the lion known as Namaka.
