Ch 11 A Vision
The Pride anxiously awaited hearing the King's decision. "After much consideration we have chosen Sarafina to be our son's mate," Ahadi said. When Mufasa heard his father say this his amber eyes went wide with surprise. He was certain that his parents were going to choose Sarabi to be his mate. Mufasa opened his mouth to protest but before he could he heard an angry growl come from him brother. Mufasa looked over at Scar, who was standing next to a wide eyed Sarafina and Sarabi.
"Damn you Ahadi," Scar hissed before he could stop himself. Ahadi looked over at his eight month old son with a raised eyebrow. "Did you say something Taka?" Ahadi asked. Scar opened his mouth to respond. But before he could Uru spoke up, having heard her son's outburst. "Ahadi how could you?" the brown coated Queen said glaring at her mate.
"How could I what Uru?" Ahadi asked although he knew exactly what his mate was talking about.
"You know damn good and well what," Uru snarled. "How could you say Sarafina is going to be Mufasa's mate? We had agreed with Selena that Sarabi would be Mufasa's mate. This was arranged when they were born."
"Yes," Fura chimed in. "And as I recall Ahadi we had agreed on Sarafina being Ta-I mean Scar's mate. Not Mufasa's."
"What we agreed on Fura," Ahadi said evenly. "Is that your daughter would be betrothed to one of my sons. It was never said which one."
"I merely assumed..." Fura began.
"Well you assumed wrong!" Ahadi bellowed causing the creamy lioness to jump.
"And what of our agreement?" Selena asked resisting the urge to glare at the King.
"Things happen Selena," Ahadi stated. "And betrothments can be broken."
"Actually Sire they cannot be broken," Ahadi's majordomo, Zuzu said suddenly appearing.
"What do you mean they can't be broken?" Ahadi asked with irritation. "I'm the King and I can break them if I please."
"I'm sorry Sire but with all due respect you are wrong," Zuzu said carefully. "The law clearly states that once a betrothment has been made the only way it can be undone is if one of the parties is deemed unworthy to be King or Queen. Therefore you must honor your agreement with Selena and allow Sarabi to marry Mufasa. I'm sorry but those are the laws and if you go against them I'm afraid you could lose your throne." Ahadi glared at Zuzu but he knew she was right. "Very well," Ahadi said gruffly. "Sarabi and Mufasa will be mates." Without another word the golden King turned and went back inside purposely bumping into Scar as he walked passed him.
"You'll pay for that you bastard," Scar though angrily. "Just wait in one weeks time you'll get what you deserve. Both you and Mufasa. Then I'll be King like I deserve." With that Scar turned towards his brother, who was nuzzling Sarabi and pretended that he was happy for them. He even gave the happy couple nuzzles for effect all the while thinking how happy he'll be to rid himself of the brute.

A week passed and it was the night before the plan was to occur. Scar had arranged it with Frita that she and her hyenas were to be waiting near the Grassland border. Scar had spread rumors about rogues being seen there which he was certain his father and brother would investigate. They would then walk right into the ambush. Scar layed down next to Uru and snuggled into her side. But the eight month old's night would not be a restful one. That night he had a nightmare. He was walking through the Pridelands. Only these Pridelands weren't the ones he was used to. "What happened here?" Scar asked aloud. Then suddenly another lion appeared in front of him. This lion looked a lot like his father. He had the same golden coat and the same build. But he had dark brown eyes and a chestnut brown mane. "Who are you?" Scar gasped his emerald eyes wide.
"I am your grandfather, Mohatu," the lion said.
"Bu-but aren't you like dead?" Scar stammered.
"Yes I am dead," Mohatu said with a smile. "But please do not fear me Taka. I will not harm you."
"Why are you coming to me?" Scar asked.
"I've come to warn you," Mohatu said. "You must call off this plan of your to kill you father and brother. If you don't the results will be disastrous."
"What do you mean?" Scar asked.
"Come I will show you," Mohatu said motioning for his grandson to follow him. Scar gulped and began to follow his grandfather through the barren land.
"Grandfather," Scar said after a minute. "Where exactly are we?"
"We are in the Pridelands," Mohatu informed the cub. "But this if the Pridelands of the future."
"It looks awful," Scar muttered.
"It is," Mohatu agreed with a nod. "Quite awful in fact. You see Taka when you enact this plan it won't kill Mufasa. It will only kill my son, Ahadi. So when you get older you devise another plan to kill your brother. Only by now he has had a son. So you decide to not only to kill your brother but to kill your nephew too."
"I wouldn't do that," Scar said shaking his head. "I wouldn't kill an innocent cub."
"Oh but you would," Mohatu says. "By that time your jealousy and hatred of your brother and your want for the throne will overpower any good emotions you may have."
"Oh Kings above," Scar muttered his eyes wide.
"It gets worse," Mohatu says. "Once you become King you turn the Pridelands into this. All the herds are gone and you are so consumed by power that you don't care. You even try to have your way with Sarafina's daughter against her will."
"No," Scar whispered. "No it can't be true. It just can't be. I refuse to believe any of this."
"See for yourself," Mohatu said once again motioning for Scar to follow him. Scar took a deep breath and followed his grandfather, dreading what he would see. After a couple of minutes Scar realized that they were inside the cave. Inside he saw a lion with a brown coat, a flowing jet black mane and piercing emerald green eyes.
"Is that me Grandfather?" Scar asked his voice a whisper.
"Yes Taka it is you," Mohatu says. "But you must be quiet if you are to learn anything." With that Scar remained silent so he could hear what was being said.
"Where the devil is she?" he heard himself say. Just then a creamy coated lioness with green eyes entered the cave. For a moment Scar thought it was Sarafina but then it dawned on him that this must be Sarafina's daughter.
"Ah Nala there you are," the older Scar says. "Just in time too."
"What do you want Scar?" the young lioness says clearly irritated.
"My my Nala," the older Scar says circling around the younger lioness. "There's no need for that kind of attitude. Especially when I'm about to offer you the chance of a lifetime."
"Scar what are you talking about?" Nala asks giving the older Scar a strange look.
"Why I'm talking about you and me," older Scar says still circling around Nala. "You see sweet Nala I want you to be my mate."
"What?!" Nala cries outraged. "Never! I'll never be your mate!"
"Oh you see Nala," older Scar says an eerie look in his eyes. "That wasn't a question. That was a demand. One way or another you will be mine."
"Never Scar!" Nala growls. "Never!"
"You belong to me," older Scar hisses advancing on Nala. Just when he was about to pounce Nala struck him in the face causing him to stumble. This gave her a chance to run out of the cave. "Damn you Nala!" older Scar cries out. Then in a much softer voice he says, "I didn't kill my brother and nephew for nothing. I will have Nala as my Queen. I guarantee it."
"Stop!" the younger Scar cries out shutting his eyes tight. "Please Grandfather no more. I can take no more."
"Remember Taka," Mohatu says as he starts to fade. "You can change these events. It's not to late. Save your brother and all will be well." With that Mohatu's image faded.

Scar woke up in a cold sweat. Looking around he realized he was alone. "Where is everyone?" he wondered.
"Your Mom went hunting," Sarafina informed her friend. "And your dad and Mufasa left. Something about rogues near the Grassland border."
"Oh no," Scar gasped. "I've got to stop them." With the the brown Prince left hoping he wasn't to late to save his brother.
