The dark rule {Private Mane and Accalia}

[Accalia]

The dark figure of the current king stood upon the pinnacle of Pride rock, his dark mane rippling in the wind. His drying and shriving land of a territory spreading out before his greedy green eyes. The once peaceful Pridelandes were filled with the eerie sound of cackling and stampeding herds. This was Scars reign; the dark reign.

It was clear that this land was close to death, almost all the food had been devoured or had migrated to less hunter infested grazing lands. Scar was forced to make the decision between forcing the pride to die and stay in his long awaited lands or find safer, more lively lands and return when the PrideLands were restored. He seemed to be heading towards dooming his subjects to death and no body was too pleased about it. Though life was forced to continue and Scar had to have self control and not kill Kopa, a small Pride Lands cub who was a potential threat to his throne. His own cubs, he fears are growing close to Kopa and most of all his small cub Vitani.

Vitani's small legs carry her in circles in the large cave in PrideRock. Her eyes wide and filled with life and a deep mischievousness as she runs around a sleeping Nala. She is planning what to do to wake her, but it will most likely not be pleasant. Her mind runs over the multiple different possibilities and ideas it has.

Nala shuffled uncomfortably in her slumber. The once strong lioness was thin and frail, she wasn't as bad as the elders, they give their food to Nala, which fils her with sadness, they needed it as much as her. At the moment she was having Nightmares about Simba, just like she always did. Unaware to Vitani prowling around her paws.

Kopa was bouncing around as a cub should do, chasing his tail and laughing. Unaware of the angry red eyes from the distance, Kopa soon got up on the search for Vitani and found her around Nala, he pounced on her. "Don't even think about it 'Tani." He growls playfully.

[Accalia]

Vitani lets out a surprised squeal then laughs and pushes Kopa off of her. She looks at him her eyes sparkling "Why not?!" she pounced on him and giggled. She always managed to have fun with Kopa, even if her father was only a few paces away.

Scar turned, fury in his green eyes and he gave an irritated growl before walking towards the two cubs. "Vitani why are you here.. aren't you suppose to be with.." he hesitated as he desperately tried to think of a way to split the two of them up "With your mother, im sure she is worried sick!" his tone was soft and 'caring' well as caring as it would ever be.

Nala had awoken by now, yawning and seeing Kopa and Vitani, along with- him. The fool that allowed their lands to die, Mufasas Land. She allowed a barely audible growl sound from her vocals, as she pulls Kopa closer to her. She was fully aware, and had seen what Scar had done when he became King. He brutally murdered her freinds, well the males. She was pretty surevthe lionesses would destroy Scar if they lost Kopa.

Kopa growled. "Because-" Before he could finish, Scar was over them, his blue eyes flickered in fear slightly, as Nala dragged him closer he laid in her paws.

[Accalia]

Scar growled at Nala "Why do you protect him?... He is not next in line nor an important asset to the survival to this pride." his eyes were pure venom as he stared at Nala, his black mane brushed backwards as he loomed over the two of them.

Vitani stayed far from her father, she didn't love him how he wished she did, though she didn't even know that, to him she was just another annoyance he had to deal with.

Scar turned to Vitani and said quietly "Come." before pivoting on his heals and leading his daughter to a nearby galde, where Zira and her siblings were.

[mane6]

Nala just pulled him closer. "Because he has a heart, and brings joy to those who are sad because somebody decided to let our lands die." She says calmly, holding her head high, her tail lightly tapping on the floor.

Kopa just watched Vitani leave. "Bye.." he murmurs.

[Accalia]

Scar didn't listen to Nala's comment, simply continued walking. His tail swaying from side to side.

Vitani turned to look at Kopa, "See you soon." she whispered, a sly glint in her eyes

[mane6]

Nala just rolled her eyes. "Thats why he`s a bad king, ignorant, rude and stubborn." She growls, muttering it slightly.

Kopa smiled, and nodded, his brownish tuft landing in his eyes. "Yeah! Catch yah later `Tani!"

[Accalia]

Scar growled as he exited the cave "He is but a commoner, don't associate with commoners Vitani."

Vitani knew her father was powerful and she knew not to go against his word so she muttered "Fine." with a sower tone.

[mane6]

Kopa crawled upon Nalas back, tugging at her ear lightly and then rolling to the flood, his small reddish brown tuft falling in his eyes. He looked to Nala like a big sister.

Nala watched Kopa, smiling. She was reminded of Simba when she saw him, and after what Sarabi said, he resembled Mufasa as a cub, with the exception of his less built up look and blue eyes.
