DarkEcoOttsel: News flash!! I changed my name back to DarkEcoOttsel! Sorry, this isn't the third story that has to do with Timon and Mira's kid. I know a lot of you guys wanted another story, but I told you I'm on a hyena craze. I've finally come up with an idea for a story. Hope you enjoy and review!
Summary: This is part one of a three part trilogy. This fic starts during Banzai, Shenzi and Ed's puphood and goes all the way up until the battle at Pride Rock. PG13 for language in later chapters. It's mostly angst and drama, but there's some romance and tragedy.

Prologue
A new dawn in Africa. A new day to see, to hear, to smell, to do...to live! Life holds so much and time seems so short. But even as the sun begins across the endless skies, so on this morning does a new life begin its journey. A journey called living and finding a place in the Great Circle of Life.
A few years back, when Mufasa had just started his rein over the Pride Lands, the hyenas lived in peace with the lions. The hyenas ruled over the Outlands in the north while the lions ruled over the Pride Lands in the south. The Elephant Graveyard was like a border, separating the two lands.
The Outlands weren't always barren and dead. At one point they were just as green and full of life as the Pride Lands. Animals roamed about freely, there were fresh streams of pure water, and there was plenty of room for more hyenas.
Speaking of more hyenas, the pack that ruled the Outlands was the largest in the savanna and it continued to grow steadily. In fact, a hyena was born into the royal family on this very morning.
Jayla, sister of Kohatu, the alpha male, had just given birth to her son, which she named Banzai.
The alpha female, Skai (pronounced the same way as sky), was expecting a pup herself. She ruled over her pack with help from Kohatu. A few days from now she would have a daughter and name her Shenzi.
Now, everyone saw Banzai, Shenzi and Ed in the Lion King. The adult Banzai, Shenzi and Ed. But what about when they were younger? What kind of horrors did they go through when Scar took over? This story should explain that and what happened the entire time Simba was hanging out with Timon and Pumbaa in the oasis. This is part one of Banzai, Shenzi and Ed's life. This is their story.
