Author's Note: SLHGOUATTLKFAN; Just he doesn't realize that until too late. Thank you for reviewing. Here's the next chapter.
A few weeks after Mufasa had that dream, Taka woke up to find the cave sound asleep. He closed his green eyes and yawned before taking one long glance at his father and siblings, after making sure they were asleep. The brown cub ran out of the cave. Taka ran to the northan border where Khofu stood waiting.
"Well...are you ready for your own king lessons?"
Taka nodded and followed his uncle into the grave yard. They walked to where a bunch of hyenas laid around or chewing on a bone.
"The first thing you need to know is that you respect a hyena they will be loyal to the end."
Taka nodded as he continued to follow his uncle to the waste land."One thing that's important you need to know. You cross a hyena...you will pay with your life!"
Taka jumped at the raised volume but slowly nodded."Got it..."
Khofu nodded as a smirk formed, "You will make a wonderful king as long as you also remember that lionesses don't belong on the throne. They only here to produce heirs."
"But...Sarabi...she's different.." to Taka the love and affection the dark beige cub gave him was enough that he didn't have to have the throne. But Mufasa doesn't deserve it.
"Yes. But I mean if you were to have a daughter she couldn't rule. Mates are different, there there to tell you how amazing you are. To hunt for you, to tell you, you are adored. To make you immoral."
Taka nodded as the information sunk in. That's why Uru didn't deserve to be queen. He loves his mother but his uncle is right.
"Well...that's our lesson for tonight. I'm sure his highness will be up soon. Don't need our future king in trouble."
Taka yawned and bend his body to stretch. "Okay. See ya tomorrow, Uncle Khofu."
Khofu watched the brown cub climbed up a spine before running off before turning around in heading in the large elephant skull.
-O-
Once Taka got on solid ground, the prince sprinted off. Not paying attention, the brown cub ran into something hard. Taka looked up at some clearing their throat. What he saw made his green eyes widen.
"Where have you been, Taka?"
"Um..." Taka tried to come up with a excuse but the look on his father's face told him it was pointless.
"You were with Khofu and those hyenas weren't you! After I told you how dangerous they are!"
Taka closed his eyes and shouted, "No! No. They're my family...they care about me and my well being!"
Ahadi growled, his son was acting just like his brother in law. "They are nothing but low lives, Taka!"
"No! If anything you're the bad guy! All you care about is Mufasa! Mufasa...Mufasa Mufas...ahhh...!"
Taka was cut off as a large paw met with his face, sending the little cub tumbling a few feet.
"Don't ever talk about your brother like that!"
When Taka looked up, Ahadi let out a gasp. Taka had a bloody scar across his left eye.
"Taka...I'm sorry..."
"Save it for someone that cares!" The brown prince sneered before running off.
Ahadi sighed before turning to head home with his head low and with a heavy heart.
-O-
Rudo laid in the large skull cleaning Taka's wound as Khofu sat watching.
"Ouch!" Taka winched.
"Sorry, my prince." she was really sorry. She hated Uru and Ahadi with a passion but this was low.
"I told you Taka...I told you. Now do you believe me?"
Taka pulled away from the light gray hyena and nodded.
"Now my dear nephew you need a name change. Hmmmm..."
"But what..?" Taka asked after returning back to the hyena leader.
"Um...my prince I'm afraid you're going to have a scar for life." Rudo said with a sad sigh. Now she really couldn't stand Ahadi.
"That's it!" Khofu said with a smirk as his amber eyes shined.
"What is?" Taka said with his head tilted. He was curious as to what his uncle came up with.
Khofu smirked wider as he pointed a black claw to his scar."Welcome to the family Scar."
