General Aasim smiled as he sat and watched his oldest daughter and her family. He was so proud of Sarabi. She is a queen and a wonderful mother to his wonderful grandsons. It's a shame what happened to his granddaughter but he'll make it his job to protect his remaining grandcubs. After nuzzling his mate and daughters, the creamy beige lion headed down the rocky slope to begin his own rounds. Aasim's job is to help out with minor duties so his son in law would have time for his family. As Aasim was walking through the plains he noticed the lack of appearance of the guild. True it was only six members, three cheetahs and three leopards. With two young trainees. Flash and Fuli. But the guild was no where to be seen. Strange.
Aasim was about to go in another direction in search of the guild when his ears perked at the sound of someone stepping on the grass.
"Who's there!" Aasim growled. "Show yourself!"
Aasim didn't get a response but as a breeze went by, ruffling his dark brown mane. The creamy beige lion caught wind of a foul smell.
"Hyenas," Aasim snarled. But his angry facade fell when a small group of eight hyenas came out of their hiding spots.
Aasim knew when things were to much for him to handle. He can take four but that leads the other four to a flick a great amount of damage. On top of things, he's not as young as he was before. The wise option is to flee towards priderock where he'll get help from the pride. The large creamy beige lion turned and ran across his son in law and daughter's kingdom as his dark brown mane whipped around from the wind of his running. At his heels were the group of hyenas. Snapping at his paws, one managed to latch on making the old lion tumble to the ground. The hyenas circled him, laughing and licking their chops.
"Enough!"
The Lion and the hyenas looked and seen Scar standing on a boulder. The rich brown lion jumped down where Aasim's brown eyes widened.
"Takaya, what's the meaning of this!"
Scar growled before slashing the older lion's throat. "To finally take what's rightfully mine!" Scar turned to head to priderock. "Finish him."
The last thing he heard was a struggle before a loud roar ripped through the air. Then silence.
...
By the time Scar got to Pride Rock the sound of terrified screams reached his ears. One in particular caught his attention.
"Mufasa!" a terrified female voice screamed.
With a dark chuckle the rich brown lion headed towards the voice. Where he came across a Sarabi with his nephews, screaming and crying. Scar looked at where her orange eyes was looking at and smiled at the sight before his eyes. A bunch of hyenas had pinned down his golden brother. Other hyenas circled ready to go for the kill. The golden lion's amber eyes looked over to his brother and gave a sign of asking for help.
Scar walked over where the hyenas moved out of the way. The rich brown lion bend down and said loud and clear so everyone can hear him. "Give me the throne and I will spare your cubs life."
Before Sarabi knew it, Thresh lept from the gathered pride and grabbed the princes. He was soon surrounded by lionesses from Scar and Udina's pride.
Mufasa growled and was going to attack his brother until he seen the tears and fear in his sons' eyes. With a deep sigh the golden lion nodded. "I give up the rights to the throne."
Scar smiled before walking up the rocky slope of the kopje and walked over to the peak. "I am now your king! Bow down to your rightful ruler, King Scar!"
One by one the lionesses and Mufasa bowed. Scar laughed before roaring to claim the throne.
...
Mufasa was heated. His mate was in tears along with Kion and Kaidan. Dayaa and Sienna came back from scouting and reported the death of Aasim. His death was by hyenas. No doubt Scar's plan. But what got him so bothered was that he had spies in his pride. Felicity wasn't the only one working with Scar. But the four new members he let in a few months ago.
"Mufasa, what are we going to do?" Sarabi cried as she held their cubs close.
Mufasa looked around at everyone then back at his mate and cubs. "There's only one thing to do." the golden lion nuzzled Sarabi then the cubs before head bumping his mother. "We get through this dark time together. Scar will slip, then we take back what's ours."
Everyone in the new Pridelander den near the waterhole roared in response. The Pridelands will be theirs again.
