I was having some MAJOR writer's block for a LONG time, which is why this kinda... over due. Also, it's very short, so don't bag on me about it. This was just a quick part, since I really don't think much went on during Taka's transformation into his better known identity, Scar. I think the hyeans just filled his head with a lot of horrible ideas, and he started to go, well, insane. More will happen in part 5, I promise! There might even be a new character stepping on the scene!
Part IV: Corruption
The next day, Prince Taka returned to the graveyard to meet with the hyena trio. And the day after that. And the day after that. He went and spoke to them every day, and everyday, Shenzi would fill his head with thoughts of hatred, jealousy, and bloodlust. She said such terrible things, I can not even bring myself to tell you what her horrid tales consisted of. To put it shortly, Shenzi was weaving a massive web of lies, and Taka believed every single one of them. She made him believe that his father didn't love him; that his brother hated him; that his mother pitied him; and… the worst lie of all… Sarafina would never love him. All of these startling tales sent Taka into a deep depression. He only spoke to the hyenas, whom he believed to be his only true "friends". He shunned the rest of the pride, becoming more and more distant. He was the gentle, kind prince no longer. Standing in his place was the near monster the hyenas had created: Scar. Ever since Shenzi had first called him "scarboy" the trio had shortened it, and began to call him by the mark on his face. And the prince was scarred in every sense of the word. For not only was he physically scarred, but his soul was scarred as well.
And soon, the pride adopted this name for him. Now, there wasn't even the dimmest of hopes that Taka would come to his senses, and become who he truly was once again.
And Sarafina mourned for her friend – nay, her best friend -, for in her young mind, it was just as if he was dead… and she had been the only witness.
