Chapter 21: Stories of the Pride Lands

Alice took at deep breath as she started the walk to Babar with Mya and JoAnn on her sides. When Babar saw his bride a huge grin spread across his face. When Alice reached Babar Flash began the ceremony. Just as the two were about to nuzzle, thunder roared across the now dark sky.

"What's happening?" Alice asked

"A war is about to happen"

Everyone looked around to see a baboon with a staff.

"Rafiki, old friend it's good to see you" said Minus giving to primate a hug

Rafiki laughed and said "yes, but I'm afraid this reunion is caused on bad terms"

Everyone gasped and minus looked at his old friend.

"What's going on?"

Rafiki sighed and said "let me tell you a story"

Everyone laid down and got comformable as Rafiki began,

"Years ago the Pride Lands queen, Uru gave birth to two sons. The oldest resembles the king and the second born resembles the queen. The princes loved each other and were close where they were never apart. When the princes were teenagers, the youngest Taka met a young lioness name Zira…"

At that Babar growled

"The lioness went through a lot and it turned her heart to hate. Zira maitpanite Taka to believe that the reason he wasn't chosen to become king was because King Ahadi seen that he was unfit to rule. Taka soon grew apart from his family and befriends hyenas. One day Taka got an idea to ambush his brother and father. He led them to the elephant grave yard where the hyenas attacked. In the fray of the attack Taka managed to get scratched across the eye. His plan worked half way because in the attack the hyenas killed Ahadi, but Mufasa survived. Taka was furious that now Mufasa was king. Taka soon changed his name to Scar, because of the reminder of the dreadful day. Mufasa took the throne a few months after with a young lioness name Sarabi as his queen. A year and half later Sarabi gave birth to a son, Prince Simba. When Mufasa's son was born all the good in Taka's heart was gone. He planned to get rid of his nephew by sending him to the grave yard. Mufasa saved Simba and his friend and that night Scar planed another scheme to kill his nephew, this time he planned to kill Mufasa and Simba. He and his hyena friends started a stampede in the gourd. In the process Scar killed Mufasa by throwing him into the stamped. Scar told young Simba that the death of Mufasa was his fault and to run away and never return. Years later Simba returned as a young adult. Scar confesses to killing his brother thinking his nephew was going to die. But Simba with new found energy fought Scar and took his place as the rightful king. Zira thought Simba killed Scar and set out for revenge. A couple months later Simba's queen Nala gave birth to two sons. When they were a few months old Zira plotted to kill them to get to Simba…"

Everyone gasped and Mheetu growled as he thought my poor sister. JoAnn looked up from the ground and said "wait, those names sound familiar"

Everyone looked at her and Rafiki said "all the answers you seek will reveal themselves soon"

Minus looked at Rafiki and said "so did this lioness...Zira kill the king's sons?"

"Sadly yes, and King Simba exclied her and her followers to the Outlands"

"So why exactly is there a war?" Kula asked

"A few months after the murders, Queen Nala gave birth to a daughter. The princess later ran into Zira's youngest son, Kovu. Where now they are adults and had found upendi. Now a war is set" Rafiki finished

"Poor pride, they been through a lot" said Victoria leaning on Minus

"Yes, but I know you and your daughter have been through some dangers too"
