A look in the past

After a month of staying with Simba and his pride, Ni had decided to leave and look for a place of his own.

"Well, it was a pleasure to stay with such a wonderful king." The old lion informed Simba.

Simba looked away sheepishly and blushed, "well I do my best for visitors."

Ni smiled before saying his goodbyes to the gathered lionesses and left the pridelands for pastures new.

Watching Ni leave, Simba turned towards Timon and Pumbaa who were standing next to him.

"Your gonna miss him aren't ya?" He asked.

The meercat nodded his head, "yeah a little." He told truthfully.

Whilst Pumbaa nodded his head, "I hope he finds a Pride to stay and live with."

Simba nodded in agreement before turning towards the rest of his pride. The lionesses moved away to continue with their day but only one lioness remained.

"What is it mother?" Simba asked concerned.

Sarabi took in a deep breath before she replied, "it's very important that I tell you about your uncle's past."

She saw her son frown but he nodded all the same.

"Shall we speak here? Or some place else?" Asked her son.

Sarabi shook her head and motioned him to sit.

"Where should I begin? How about your uncle's jealously towards your father?"

Simba nodded his head.

So she began to recite the story "well scar or his birth name, Taka as he once was called used to idol your father when he and Mufasa were cubs but once they reached their teens things got out of hand.

"Mufasa was walking in the savannah with your grandfather, Ahadi. When Zazu came flying towards them, he told them that Taka had gotten in a fight with a hyena and that he had a nasty injury on his eye.

"So fearing the worst for his son Ahadi took him straight to Rafiki where the shaman told father and son that Taka would have a scar which he would have for the rest of his life. Taka was very upset, but things got steadily worse when I was chosen to become Mufasa's mate. Taka had a crush on me from when we were all cubs and didn't take the announcement to well. So heartbroken and scarred he found friends in the most unlikely of places. When your father was acting as Prince Regent your uncle relented it because he always wanted to become king even when we were cubs and made his friends attack Mufasa whilst he was patrolling on the eastern border.

Do you know what his friends where?"

Simba thought for a moment before answering, "the hyenas." He growled.

Sarabi nodded before continuing, "but luckily Zazu and Ahadi where not far away to see the hyena attack so they fought. When they had killed the attackers except one, Ahadi asked the sniffling creature why they attacked? And do you know what the pathetic creature told Ahadi? That it was his own son, Scar! Both Ahadi and Mufasa had no idea that Taka had changed his name but what they were shocked at was why Scar would attack and try to kill his own brother. So Scar was banished from the pridelands. So, when Ahadi had died and Mufasa became king. All the animals came to see their new king including a jealous Scar; Mufasa noticed your uncle in the crowd and once the ceremony was over met him.

"Scar seemed so sincere that what he did was stupid and that he was sorry, so your father being the kind heartened lion that he was forgave him. But I didn't. Months later and Scar lived with us I found out that I was pregnant with you. Everyone was ecstatic like they are now with Nala's pregnancy I might add. But one was not, Scar had become within himself. Reclusive if you might describe and he always spent his days far away from the pride. So behind your father's back I sent Zazu to spy on him, and when he had found what Scar was up to Zazu came back hurriedly and informed me that your uncle was once again with the hyenas but, what troubled both of us was that Scar and those beasts were good friends, like they had always been.

"So when I told your father he didn't believe me, he told me that whether I liked it or not Scar was part of the family and I had to deal with it. But things got bad to worse, I'm not going to tell you what you already know about your uncle but during Scar's reign we had a Queen, Scar's mate.

Do you know who Scar's mate is?"

Simba shook his head, "who? It can't be any of the pride lionesses can it?"

Sarabi shook her head, "no, it is not. But she was a rogue lioness who took some of the pride lionesses who respected Scar."

It hit him, "it's Zira isn't it?"

Sarabi sadly nodded her head, "she and your uncle fell immediately for each other, and she became loyal towards him even after his death. That's the part of Scar's story which you have never heard."

Simba couldn't believe it, he hated his uncle but he could not think about hating him even more for what he had done.

"I've got to patrol now. See you later mom."

And with that mother and son parted ways………………..

Sorry about Scar's past I can imagine that it is very hard to understand…but I hope you liked it!
