Ch 11 A Solution
As Scar was approaching Priderock he thought better of bringing Kali and Zira there. Instead he headed towards the Outlands to meet up with his hyena friends. By now Kali was alert and he was wondering what was going on. "Where are we?" the silver cub asked.
"You're in the Outlands," Scar explained as he put Kali on the ground.
"Now Zira is coming back with me to Priderock and Kali you're going to stay here for now," Scar said after a few minutes.
"But why can't I come with you?" Kali asked his voice coming out a scared whisper.
"Because King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi would never let you stay," Scar said deciding to wait to tell Kali the truth. Just then Shenzi, Banazi and Ed came onto the scene with the rest of their clan. "Ah I'm glad you're all here," Scar said. "Young Kali here is going to be staying with you for a little while until I return. And he's my friend so treat him well got it?"
"Yeah sure we got it," Shenzi said. The alpha female and her brothers had already been informed of Scar's plan and were prepared for Kali to be there.
"Good," Scar said. "I will return shortly." With that the brown lion took his leave leaving a very confused Kali behind.

A few minutes later Scar had returned to Priderock along with Zira. By now Zira had awaken and was very confused. "Where are we?" the tan cub asked as Scar placed her on the ground.
"We're in the Pridelands," Scar informed the cub.
"But why didn't we go with my mom?" Zira asked her red eyes wide with fear.
"Because I haven't the slightest idea where she went," Scar said with annoyance. "Or if she's even alive. Now hush and not a word about Kali. Understand?"
"Yes," Zira said softly.
"Good," Scar said. "Wait here I'll be back." With that Scar began to search for his brother. Just then Sarabi emerged from the cave along with Mufasa. "Well look who's back," Sarabi scoffed rolling her amber eyes. "Where were you Scar? You missed the birth of you cub you know."
"Well I didn't intend on being gone that long," Scar said with annoyance. "But as you can see I have this cub with me. Her name is Zira and her mother was killed. That's what I've been doing taking care of her. I came across her as I was walking and couldn't just leave her."
"Then why not bring her here?" Sarabi asked.
"Because I wasn't sure she'd live," Scar explained. "I didn't even realize the time lapse. Is Sarafina upset?"
"To say the least," Sarabi said. "But I'm sure she'll forgive you once she hears your reasoning."
"I agree," Mufasa said. Then the three lions approached Zira and Mufasa smiled at the young lioness cub. "Welcome to our pride young Zira," the King said with a smile.
"Thank you sir," Zira said softly.
"Now whose going to take care of her?" Sarabi wondered.
"I'd be happy to take her in," a light orange lioness with red eyes said. "I'm sure she'd get along perfectly with Sasha and Leon."
"Thank you Vera," Mufasa said with a smile.
"Come Zira," Vera said. "Let's go meet your new brother and sister." With that the tan cub went with the light orange lioness.
"Scar I'm sure you'd like to meet your daughter," Sarabi said with a smile.
"Of course I would," Scar said. With that the brown lion entered the nursery cave along with Sarabi and Mufasa. Sarabi took Simba, who had been with Sarafina and placed him in her paws so Scar could see his daughter.
"Where the Hell were you Taka?!" Sarafina growled. "You were supposed to be here with me."
"I'm sorry 'Fina," Scar said feeling slightly guilty. Scar then proceeded to tell Sarafina what he had told Mufasa and Sarabi about Zira. "I'm so sorry my dear," Scar said after he had finished. "I feel terrible." Scar was trying to butter Sarafina up so she wouldn't ask to many questions. Luckily for him it worked.
"Well.." Sarafina said her expression softening. "What do you think my darling? Should we forgive your Daddy?" Sarafina bent down and gave her creamy coated daughter a lick. When she felt her mother's touch the one week old cub opened her eyes and revealed bright emerald green eyes light Scar's
"She's beautiful 'Fina," Scar said giving his daughter a nuzzle. "Just like you." With those words the cub gave Scar's nose a lick causing him to smile.
"I agree," Sarafina said with a smile. "Little Nala is perfect."
"I see you gave her the name I suggested," Scar said.
"Yes," Sarafina said with a nod. "I felt it suited her." Just then Sarabi and Mufasa approached. Simba was being carried by his mother. Sarabi sat beside Sarafina and placed Simba and the ground. Upon seeing Simba Nala let out a mew. This caused the adults to smile. All except for Scar that is. He scowled at the thought of his daughter bonding with his newest nephew. "I'll just have to see to it that Nala doesn't become to attached to the brat," Scar thought. "That was she won't be to unhappy when he's disposed of. But for right now I'll have to play the part." With that Scar said, "Well I'd better let you mommies rest." Scar gave Sarafina a nuzzle then bent down and gave Nala a nuzzle as well. Then Scar took his leave. Scar checked briefly on Zira, who was playing with her new siblings Sasha, who was a golden orange cub with blue eyes and Leon, who was a golden brown cub with reddish brown eyes. Both cubs were the same age as Zira and she seamed to be getting along well with them. Satisfied Scar headed for the Outlands to check on Kali.

A few minutes later Scar was in the Outlands and immediately Kali came running up to him. "Scar what's going on?" the confused cub asked. "Why are you making me stay in this awful place?"
"It's for your own good my boy," Scar replied. "Trust me on that."
"How can living in this termite infested place be good for me?" Kali asked the anger clear in his voice.
"Aw just tell the kid the truth," Shenzi piped up. "I think he can handle it."
"What truth?" Kali asked looking at Scar. "What's she talking about?"
"Well young Kali you see," Scar began. "There's something you should know. Recko wasn't your birth mother."
"I know," Kali said. "Mom told me that a long time ago."
"I see," Scar said. "Well did she ever tell you who your birth parents are?"
"No," Kali said softly. "I asked but she always said it didn't matter because they didn't want me and she did."
"Well I happen to know who your parents are," Scar said.
"You do?" Kali asked his white eyes wide with surprise. "Who are they?"
"King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi are your parents," Scar replied.
"They are?" Kali asked shocked at what he just heard. "But wait a minute. King Mufasa is your brother isn't he?"
"Sadly yes," Scar said his voice a growl. "He is my brother."
"But that would make you my..." Kali began.
"Yes," Scar said. "You are absolutely right. I am your uncle Kali. And I need your help in taking down my brother."
"Why would I do that?" Kali asked. "They're my parents. I should be with them. Not here."
"Kali," Scar began. "My brother and his wife are horrible lions. They just threw you away like garbage."
"I'm sure they had a good reason for giving me away," Kali said.
"Oh yes," Scar said with sarcasm. "They took one look at you and decided you weren't worthy of being their heir."
"But why..." Kali began. Then it dawned on him why they would do that. "Because I'm an albino?"
"Exactly," Scar said. "I mean think about it Kali. Why else would a King and Queen give away their first born son? They didn't want to be shamed by as they put it "their freak of a son." I believe their exact words were curse."
"But I'm their son," Kali said softly.
"They don't care about that," Scar scoffed. "That's why I've been checking on you Kali. Because I do care about you and I want to do right by you."
"You mean by making sure I'm the heir?" Kali asked.
"Precisely," Scar said with a grin. "And to make my brother and Sarabi suffer for their selfishness."
"Yeah what a couple of jerks," Banazi piped up.
"They ain't even worth livin'," Shenzi chimed in.
"Wouldn't you agree Kali?" Scar asked putting a paw around the seven month old.
"Well I agree they're a couple of douches," Kali said. "Ok Scar I'm in. I'll help you."
"There's a good lad," Scar said with a smile. "I'll be back tomorrow."
"Looking forward to it," Kali said as he watched his uncle leave. "Finally things are looking up," Kali said to himself. With that the silver cub went with the hyenas to find him a place to sleep for the night.
