Aysadi remained by Karoi's side for what felt like hours.
"Are you almost fucking done?" Karoi asked eventually.
Aysadi bat at his nose. "No, I'm not. And stop squirming like a newborn cub."
Karoi groaned. Most of the blood was gone now, but the wounds still stung. Aysadi washed the last two with her tongue before getting up.
"Now you better as hell stay right in your nest for a few days. Because if I see you so much as move one leg in the direction of outside of it, I'll reopen your damn wounds myself." Then she walks away.
Karoi stares after her. Her gleaming pelt ripped perfectly as she walked. He loved his sister. He shakes his head and turns away before staggering to his nest, a hole in the side of the cave layered with grasses and moss on the bottom. He slipped in, closed his eyes, and crashed down with a sigh.
What seemed like a few minutes later, Karoi is awakened by snarling. He blinks his eyes open and pokes his head out is his nest. There, standing at the entrance over Aysadi, was a very large lion. It rose over her like a tidal wave. Aysadi shook with nervousness.
Karoi narrows his eyes and runs from his nest to block Aysadi.
"Leave." He growls at the lion.
The lion backs away a bit. Moonlight coming in from the entrance reveals its face.
The lioness growls. "Make me. Or, I guess you can't. Wouldn't want to get you more injured."
Karoi sneered. "You have no idea what I'd do for my sister."
"Karoi, no!" Aysadi yelps.
He ignores her and leaps for the lioness. He gets above her for a second, but she gets a claw over one of his eyes, which makes him falter. She pushes him off her and leaps to her feet. The lioness then takes advantage of his distraction and jumps forward through the air to dig her claws into his back. Karoi collapses under her weight and roars in pain when her claws reach a pre-existing scar.
"Hareis! Get off him!" A voice shouts behind them.
Hareis snarls, but gets off immediately. Karoi groans.
The lion walked up with another lioness beside him. "Are you alright?" He asks.
Karoi stumbles to his feet. "I should be..."
Aysadi runs forward and lets him lean on her shoulder.
The lioness scolds Hareis fiercely. "You could have killed him!" She growled softly.
Hareis rolls her eyes and looks away.
"This is not how we've raised you!" The lioness growls.
The lion stands beside the lioness. "Listen to your mother, Hareis."
Hareis storms away. The lion and lioness turn to Aysadi and Karoi.
"Sorry for Hareis. She can be a bit...rebellious." The lion apologizes. "Other than that, my name is Kovu." He looks towards the lioness. "And this is my mate, Kiara."
Karoi swiped at the snarling hyenas. They snapped at his paws. One caught his paw in its mouth. He roared and pulled it away. The hyena laughed. Karoi's wounds dripped blood onto the dry ground. The hyena's glowing yellow eyes were the only thing around he could see.
With the scar above his eye dripping blood into it, Karoi spun around and ran. He ran and ran as fast as he could. The hyenas laughed and gave chase. Karoi angrily sped up a little bit. His wounds burned from stretching. The hyenas kept tripping over each other in their mad race to catch up.
Karoi used that to his advantage and switched courses to the secret entrance to his home. The hyenas yelped as the edge of the cliff came into view. A few in the front fell off into the river below. Karoi sneered and slipped through a hole in a pile of rocks. The rest of the hyenas tried following, but two other lions exited and fought them off.
Karoi stumbled through the tunnel until he was met with the cave. He stepped in and collapsed at the entrance. Other lions around rushed over. Karoi groaned in pain. Blood began pooling around him. Just then, the lions parted and a female walked through them to Karoi. She gasped at his condition.
"Karoi!" She scolded. "Why the fuck does this keep happening to you?"
"Happy to see you too, dear Aysadi." Karoi whispered.
She rolled her eyes and laid next to him to lick his wounds. "You better be more fucking careful next time."
(I didn’t do any poem stuff because I am bad at it, LOL. But there is a deeper meaning behind the story) Brave’s breathes were getting weaker by the minute as the evil beast attacked him. He tried his best, clawing and roaring, but strangely, they were stronger. One of them cackled as the chewed on the bone of an innocent, deceased gazelle. The leader of the hyena clan lunged towards him and pinned him to the ground. Brave’s breathes were even more labored by now, but he refused to give in. As he clawed and scratched, the hyena leader bit his neck. Crimson blood oozed from his thick neck, and he knew the end was nearing.
Suddenly, the clouds parted and a white lion with glowing yellow eyes leaped down. He had a flowing mane and a brave smile. He spoke in a deep, low voice. “Hyenas, if you wish to see the light of day once more, I suggest you let Brave go.” The hyena leader laughed nervously and said: “hahaha, s-sorry King David… we will be on our way.” The hyenas fled quickly, and Brave lay there on the ground, shocked. “My Son, Brave, you were well… brave in the battle, or my Test Of The Heart. You are welcome to the Pride of Clouds.” Tears flowed down Brave’s cheeks as he ran to embrace the King. ‘Finally,’ he thought, ‘I a, being released from the test and the Pride of Earth, and welcomed into a more heavenly place.’ Brave, The King, and soon Brave’s sister, Hope, were all embracing in the Pride of Clouds and they all lived happily ever after… Yes, maybe it is cliche, I believe once you go to heaven, you will truly live in a fairytale.
From many of your viewpoints, this would look like the lion would be defeated, easily right ? But that’s the thing about looks or what meets the eye, they are very deceiving. The lion could easily take all of the animals out, why? Because you can tell in his eyes that he wants it’s more. See it’s not about who you are but what you want to be. The lion is ready to fight for his life because he knows he is at the higher risk of loosing based on the numbers. The other animals think that they can easily beat the lion because of there numbers but they are not focused in, and that is where they make the mistake.
You’ve tried this before but you still think you can kill me? Last time you lost when you brought along the strongest members of your tribe. They gave it their best shot but they underestimated my determination.
This time it seems you’ve returned and you think you can beat me just in shear numbers. Well, try your best. You’re about my underestimate how tactical I can be.
There’s a reason my tribe has owned this rich land for multiple lifetimes and why we will continue to do so.
You will always try and outcompete us by using your muscles or your size but so long as we continue to fight with our hearts, you will never win.
Scar's Narration Damn it. Who was I? King of Pride Rock, Fiercest in the Pride Land. Now surrounded by my own army. Now a failure. Now nothing. Just a lion ready to fight. Or die. No one will hear my wrath. No one will care of the feelings of a villain. Certainly. I had power. Had. I did horrible things to get my power. Power that are supposed to be mine. Supposed. So I gritted mt teeth, unsheathe my claws, and blinked. I’m ready to fight dirty. Honor has no place in survival. Years ago, when I erased Mufasa, I have felt the same wildness, the eagerness to rip and bite. A memory I thought long faded came to my head. Mufasa stands upon Pride Rock, as the king. Every animal cheer. No one notice me. Me, Scar, who had the power Mufasa hadn’t. Roar of the Elders. I’m more powerful than him…yet I was not the king. So I turned my back on him, used my power, as I reveal the evil side of me. I became the villain. I tasted the sweetness of being in control. Having powers. Free. I’d murdered my brother and blamed my nephew. I did it just to taste that glorious, satisfying sensation of sitting on that throne, looking down and sees all the animals bow to me, Scar, their new king. I have no regrets. One of the hyenas launched. I had lost my energy from the fight to Simba, yet who was I? Scar, the evil, strong, and cruel villain of this story. I can still fight. My claw caused a scar on the hyenas back, and it moaned in pain as I pinched it to the ground and, without, hesitations, buried my claw deep into it’s throat. The others are all trying to attack me, yet they all stopped cold to see the body on the ground, its heart no longer beating. One comes, the others follow. I somersault to avoid falling off the cliff. I can feel the pain, yet also the determination to fight until my last breath. Die like a real lion. The hyenas are powerful, yet they’re more exhausted than I am. I smash away another. My fangs turn red, my claws had fur in them, I taste the hot blood. I had accepted my fate, yet I want to taste it again. It felt great. One hyena I once called as my ally challenge me face to face. I recall the hatred from his face, because it once appeared on my face, too. A few others helped him. They push me, and I bite them and clawed them and roared. But I was too weak, oh, my, did I just say that I was weak? They throw me off the murderous cliff. Scar, their king. I roared my last. I died like my brother, whom I murdered. He died as the beloved king. I died as the disgusted villain. My story hadn’t end, not yet.
