You and Scar grew up together, and seeing that you were both to be betrothed one day, it felt weird and the idea of getting married to your childhood friend someday didn’t quite appeal with your mind.
So you left the kingdom of Pride Rock as soon as you had the opportunity. Scar helped you along the way, agreeing with you that getting married would be weird, and it was your little secret, and it stayed that way for a while.
The kingdom believed you had simply gone missing after a manhunt search was in order and came back as unsuccessful. Since you had gone missing, so to speak, you’ve heard that Scar’s brother had become king and took place in ruling the kingdom with Nala. While you were away you and Scar exchanged letters and kept in contact, he kept you informed of everything that was happening and becoming of the kingdom. Scar wasn’t telling you everything like you thought, he was keeping a dark secret from you.
After you left, Scar realized that he did in fact, started to fall in love with you through the letter exchange and had wanted to rule the kingdom with you, but he was too selfish to admit that and would rather follow through with his own plot in ruling the kingdom. However, when you decided to make a sudden reappearance, you had unknowingly put a stop to his plan just days before he was set to execute it. Or at least, you put it on hold for him as you made your surprise visit. The whole purpose of the visit was because you wanted to see your childhood friend again after finally admitting to yourself that you had fallen in love with him throughout the letter exchanges.
After a few days of seeing your old friend again, things were going so well and you almost didn’t want to leave. But after having a slight reminder of the fact that no one else knew of your brief return, you really had no choice. It was a difficult realization, but after promising Scar to you’d be back again, you and Scar parted ways.
However, your next return takes time, with you wanting to keep a low profile and avoid getting found out that you ran away rather than facing going through with the betrothal. When you do come back at last, you come back to a kingdom that once held a lot of light, life, and happiness to something much darker; a kingdom you no longer recognize.
Pride Rock was now a kingdom that looked like the sun never rises.
You couldn’t believe what lied before your eyes, a kingdom that once thrived with life, now is in ruins. Seeing all of this, prompted your determination to find Scar, making sure he was alright and to ask some questions about what all you’ve missed. Finding Scar wasn’t hard, it was almost too easy in fact. It was only for a second that Scar wasn’t recognizable, he’s changed, seemingly for the worse; that much you already know. He didn’t appear to be the same Scar you had fallen in love with, he seemed to be a stranger now. Almost like he was someone you knew but didn’t at the same time.
You were nervous to approach him, but you did with such caution, wanting to get to the bottom of things so there was better understanding. When you found him, he was standing on a hilltop, overlooking the once beautiful kingdom with what you calculated to be empty eyes.
It was almost as if he was no longer there.
“Scar?” You timidly spoke.
Scar quickly whips around with an expression you couldn’t read or make of.
The moment Scar saw it was you, his expression changed into a softer one.
“What happened here? What’s going on?”
Scar’a eyes changed into something almost demonic like.
Something darker than what you were used to seeing.
“The king is dead. I am king now.”
“I killed him. Mufasa is gone.” As if Scar’s eyes couldn’t get any darker, they did.
You were a witness to it.
This sudden confession was too much to grip onto, so you turned around and left.
It had only been a couple days since you left, but it felt an eternity to you. During your time away, you had promised yourself you wouldn’t go back. After telling yourself that there was no chance in going back now, after the way you just left, you find yourself making your way back to Pride Rock. However when you get there, you run into another distressing scene.
Not the kingdom itself, but of Scar. You find him badly injured, it looked as though a pack of hyenas had attacked him. Little did you know, that’s exactly what happened. While your gut instinct told you just to leave Scar there stranded, you didn’t have it in your heart to follow through. It was never in your will. Besides that, you knew well enough that Mufasa would have done the same thing, no matter what horrible thing he may have done. So you choose to follow in Mufasa’s footsteps, mustering every strength you had in your bones, you were able to help Scar back to safety and out of the open.
Over the following days, you helped nurse Scar back to health and catered him until he made a full recovery. As you took care of your friend, Scar couldn’t help but feel enormously grateful for your hospitality.
Scar couldn’t help but feel the slightest of guilt and remorse of his actions the more he thought back to scaring you away with his gruesome confession of taking over the kingdom with such greed. For days, neither of you said much, barely speaking to each other. But when Scar was strong enough, he started being more talkative and expressed his gratitude and thanks to you and your care. The first thing he said something about it, it was more of a direct question than anything else, he sincerely wanted to know why and you told him; along with a confession of your own.
“I don’t understand, why would you help me? Or help someone like me? I killed Mufasa, not only the king, but my own brother.”
You let out a sigh before responding.
“Because Scar, your brother would have done the same.”
“Isn’t it obvious? What you did was terrible, more terrible than words can describe. But you always take in and care for the ones you love. No matter what.”
You knew what you were saying, and the way Scar reacted was the very reaction you had wanted and expected.
You had just confessed something huge, and you both know it rather well, prompting Scar to make another confession.
Scar paused, he had to think over it before either of you continued the now heated discussion.
“In what way?” you retort, almost not believing it.
“Yes. You’re my childhood friend and I have fallen in love with you. I love you.”
“If what we’re speaking of is true, how would feel about us getting married and ruling the kingdom together?”
“I would say yes. I’d love to and we can bring back Pride Rock to what it once was.”
“Than it’s settled,” Scar begins, taking your hand in his before giving it a slight squeeze of promise and reassurance.
“We shall get married and rule the kingdom together the second I’m no longer bedridden.”
The thought of marrying your friend brought such excitement and joy.
The future ahead was bright.
