Title: The Rising of a Great King

Author: Siddalee

Catagory: The Lion King

Summary: This is when Mufasa and Scar were younger. I see a lot of people saying Scar's real name was Taka so I'll use that. This will explain how Mufasa got to be king. And his father will tell him everything he told Simba. Also we'll have Sarabi and Zira back when everyone was friends.

Disclaimer: I dont own much. If you read you'll realize what I do own.

A/N: I dont know Mufasa's parents names. So I made them up.

Chapter One~ The New King

The sun rose over the horrizon and awakened the creatures. They all immediatly stood up and started their journey to Pride Rock. On the edge of the large rock formation a male lion stood. He watched as a bird landed before him and bow. He nodded in return. The lion turned his head to see a young baboon step onto Pride Rock.

"Rafiki," the lion said to him.

The baboon smiled and hugged him. "Where are the cubs, Ahadi?"

Ahadi lead Rafiki back to where is wife Akase lay. In her grasp lay two young lion cubs. One was a lighter color like its father and the other was a darker brown color. Rafiki seemed surprised but quickly recovered. He broke open the fruit and spread the juice over both their heads. Then he picked up some dirt and sprinkled it over them. The lighter one sneezed and the darker one played with the falling dust. Rafiki laughed as he looked at Ahadi.

"Who is to be king?" Rafiki asked.

Ahadi stared at his two sons. "The eldest." He nodged the lighter one with his nose.

Rafiki lifted him and began the walk to the edge of Pride Rock. The animals below watched carefully. Finally Rafiki lifted the lion into the air and all the animals made their own special sounds as they cheered for the kings successor. Then they all stopped and bowed down to him.

Ahadi and Akase walked to the edge of Pride Rock as well, leaving the other son back with another lioness. Ahadi immediatly roared and the animals below followed, making their sounds once more. Akase smiled as she stared up at her eldest son. He bounced around in Rafiki's hands, not understanding what was happening.
