Chapter 5.
'Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it you can either run from it or learn from it'.
The sun shined on the Pride Lands as Nyota and Usiku followed their Father out of the cave. Seeing lionesses and a few cubs by the water hole Nyota asked "Dad should we
mingle with them?".
Scar looked over at the water hole and nodding his head he replied "yes you can. I'll go and hunt an antelope for your breakfast".
Giving their Father a head rub before walking over to the water hole. Scar watched them go before stretching and wandered into the Pride Lands to hunt. It felt strange being
back but Scar knew that as soon as this threat was over he was taking his children back to the jungle.
Taking a dink from the watering hole Nyota felt a small paw nudging her leg. Looking down she saw a light cream coloured cub with a black hair coloured tail tuft and green
eyes smiling up at her. Sitting down Nyota smiled at the cub and asked "yes little one?".
Mheetu looked up at the white lioness and spoke in a giddy tone "you're white. Why are you white?".
"Mheetu don't be rude" said Nala playfully as she drank from the watering hole.
"Hello Mheetu I'm Nyota. To answer your question I don't know why I'm white but when I find out you'll be the first lion I tell" said Nyota.
"Are your Mom and Dad with you? It would be nice to see new lions" queried Mheetu as he scratched his neck.
"Just our Dad but he's out hunting" said Usiku as he eyed the lion coming to the water hole. He had the same hair colour and black mane as their Father. Lowering his head to
Nyota he whispered "look at the lion and tell me who he looks like".
Nyota looked at Nuka and seeing his colouring she approached him and said "hello I'm Nyota what's your name?".
Nuka finished drinking and seeing the white lioness he replied "my name's Nuka. Wow I've never seen a white lioness before. My Father told me about them once when I was
cub".
Nyota laughed lightly and said "yeah everyone keeps looking at me. So who's your Dad, I thought Simba was the only adult male in the Pride Lands?".
Nuka chuckled and said "Simba's my cousin, my Father was Scar brother of Mufassa and leader of the Outlanders".
Nyota took a step back and beckoned Usiku to her side before saying "then I guess that makes us family. Scar adopted us".
Nuka looked at the two young lions in front of him and stepping back he looked around and seeing Simba he rushed over to him. "So it's true then, my Father is alive?" asked
Nuka upset.
Simba frowned and replied "yes he is. We were going to tell you as soon as Nala got back from hunting".
Nuka looked at the ground and nodding his head he asked "when did he get back?"
Seeing that his cousin was troubled Simba sat in front of him and replied "last night. He has two young lions with him, he adopted them when their Mother fell into a gorge.
Look Nuka I know this is all a surprise but when he emerges from wherever he is you can speak to him then".
Nuka nodded his head slowly and looking out at the Pride Lands he said "yeah. Look I'm going to take a walk to clear my head. This has all been a huge surprise".
Simba nodded his head and said "alright but when you get back maybe you could try getting to know Nyota and Usiku. As for breakfast it seems Sarafina has brought them an
antelope".
Nuka nodded his head before wandering into the Pride Lands. He found it strange that his Father was alive. Wondering how Zira would react to it he came to a stop by the
gorge. Sitting down he took in a breather and hadn't noticed that a large lion was slowly advancing on him.
Scar eyed the antelope herd in front of him as he crouched down in the high grass. Spotting a decent size one he prepared to run when something in his peripheralvision made
him look towards the gorge. Sitting there was a lion that looked like he had come from his own bloodline. Shaking his head he whispered "is that Nuka?". He was about to rush
over to him when he saw a large lion advancing on this young lion.
Nuka was about to head back to join the other lions when he spotted the large male coming at him. Stepping back he began to shake with fear knowing he wouldn't be able to
fight such a big lion.
The advancing lion shook his brown main as adrenaline shook his cream coloured body. He was about to pounce on Nuka when Scar leapt at him pushing him back.
"Well this is surprising" mocked the advancing lion as he sat down. "The dark prince has risen from the dead, Zira will be overjoyed".
Scar growled and standing in front of Nuka he snapped "then you best go tell her that and if you ever trespass in the Pride Lands again the king will have you torn apart".
The advancing lion chuckled and said "of course forgotten prince. Be warned that this won't be the last time we meet. I might bring those hyenas next time".
Scar snarled as he watched the lion return to the Outlands. Turning to Nuka he asked "Nuka are you alright?".
Nuka looked at the lion he had last seen when he was cub. This lion was his Father. Clearing his throat he replied "yeah I'm okay. That lion must be new to the Outlands".
Scar gave him a smile and said "listen Nuka I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you and I'm happy to see that you've grown well. Won't be long until your main will be as glorious
as mine".
Nuka perked up at that and shrugging his shoulders he said "I was in pretty bad state when I ran from the Outlands. Sarabi found me, fed me and brought me back to Pride
Rock".
"Sarabi's a good lioness son. May I ask why you left your Mother?" asked Scar.
"She's not who she used to be. She starved me and beat me. She also has two cubs fathered by another lion, they're called Vitanni and Kovu. She's grooming Kovi to take the
Pride Lands" continued Nuka.
Scar nodded his head nuzzling his head "I'm glad you're here Nuka. Don't think of Zira anymore, after what she did she doesn't deserve the title of Mother". Seeing a smile
form on Nuka's face he added "come on my son let's hunt some antelope then we can bring it back and you can meet your sister and brother".
Nuka's smile never left his face as he and his Father spent the morning hunting together.
Zira sat chewing on a bone as the other lionesses were still not back from their hunt. Seeing her mate Giza return she got up and asked "where were you?".
Giza chuckled darkly as he nuzzled Vitanni and Kovu before replying "I was in the Pride Lands and guess who I saw there?".
Zira rolled her eyes and asked "who?".
"Nuka and the dark prince himself. Your ever faithful Scar" replied Giza.
Zira felt her anger boil in her veins and snarled "that low life. I gave my life to him but however it will make it all worth while when we invade the Pride Lands just to see him
torn apart".
"I have an idea" said Giza as he licked his paws. Seeing her questioning eyes he added "you'll just have to wait and see my love but don't worry you'll love it".
Zira smiled with an evil glint in her eyes looking forward to this surprise her mate had planned for her.
