Scar was mid sentence his maw twisted in sick proportion as he glanced back behind him. Completely distracted not caring the lionesses who watched him turn from them leaping up on a boulder for a better view. Moving slowly green hues piercing the skies as he moved in silence higher and higher. He searched for a view he knew too well a symbol of his past that buried as deep as his scar on his face. Taka sunk to the ground almost in a hunting nature clearly searching for that something as far as he was concerned it HAD to be there. Female movements below him in both confusion and curiosity to what had gripped their leaders attention so.
Taka was wide awake and froze when he saw it. He had more felt it instead of hearing a part of him would always recognize it. THAT ROAR!!
He gasped his maw dropping in pure shock the mane on his neck practically stood on end his tail still half wrapping around him. It wasn’t often scar would loose his demeanor but this was one moment to never be forgotten.
The next emotion…. Rage, sheer bitter rage, causing the males features to be pure hatred but also almost a painful expression far too covered by his anger. The emotion consumed him and claws extended and he let out a powerful roar even more so then when his comrades betrayed him for mufasa.
The lionesses almost cowarded back but showed pure confusion and fear as they didn’t know what scar saw and he would never tell them. Zira would be lucky to get such information from his soul. He told her what he desired her to know he’d never admit moments of pain.
Those piercing deadly hues almost glowed the clouds and his deceased he watched dancing within them. That was his glory and now another weilded it he had been betrayed by the elders them selves. All these things went through his mind teeth bared allowing sheer hatred to be a once sleeping merciless wrath. Zira and her gang had failed on the first mission sent but this was a new personal goal. He calmed watching the scene in humor he was believed to be dead and was spoken of in third person. If there was one thing scar possessed it was his sharp sense of smell and the ear to listen. The hyena was what interested him and with that he simply got up and moved from his view back down to a very angry zira.
“You failed Zira, I need a war with the hyenas and you tiptoe with your prey. They betrayed me zira and you would allow that cub to be free? ”
He was furious his clawed finger at her throat not caring who’s presence he was in. In truth he took a bit of the rage out on her the usual feat.
His features calmed and his claw slowly retracted and he placed a gentle warm paw on her cheek his voice almost cooing towards her.
“I’m feeling quite thankful zira, you brought me a valuable thing and I can imagine you’re just as surprised to learn that not only is the roar gifted to another we also know who that is but…. I’m sure that’s what you rushed here to tell me correct? ”
He raised his paw in question almost sarcastic but laced with a twisted brutal underline zira knew well. Her features were not of fear, she knew scar, it was the curiosity of what scar was talking about. She had spent years learning scars way of talking and it was enough for her to realize she had better pay attention because scar did not like to repeat himself. She approached behind him slowly hanging to every evil word that left his lips.
“You stay here I must arrange a little pick up for our………….. ”
He paused moving from her thinking of the perfect words to use finding none at the moment to leave with her.
“I will be back Zira and you need to find me rafiki I may need to have a word with him as well… ”
Deadly promise sunk into each work as the male lion disappeared from the rocky cove leaving a very confused zira and pride.
Scar was hunting for a little hyena her scent would be easy to follow since hyenas didn’t come around after their betrayal to scar. The lionesses made sport of killing them little by little. This one was not one of his pastime lackies. Oh no! This little family was now hunted pray and had better be fortunate scar was going to need them all alive in the end because if what he saw was true then she was friends with the lion guard. Two birds one stone.
Hours passed and he had located her and the little pack tucked away in some God forsaken hole in the rock. He was bitterly watching the scratches he now wore from his attack after the battle with Simba still ached many deep piercing his fur. Scar allowed his paw to slowly sweep over them remembering the battle to be free. It took him weeks to heal enough to move and if it weren’t for zira he would have died. (headcannon for after Lion King for my scar) Green eyes followed as the male lazily rose to his feet approaching her with a smooth tone.
“And here I thought hyenas had a particular sense of smell but I suppose I was wrong. All the same I do think we have a lot to discuss and you…. Are coming with me! ”
His voice was course full of anger his teeth bared and claws exposed with promise to strike anything that moved with a deadly kill. He was certainly in the mood.
