Tragedy has rocked the Pridelands, the heir to the throne was killed. The Golden Prince was slain in a wildebeest stampede, his body trampled beneath thousands of hooves. His father, the King had tried to save him but arrived seconds to late, and found his son's limp body. The sheer grief of the King was vast and his sorrowful cries reached all the corners of the vast Kingdom. As for the pride they rushed to their Kings aid, only to find him sobbing over the broken body of his son. The Queen quickly came to his side and her own cries echoed those of her mate, the rest of the pride sat nearby looking forlorn and depressed. A few lionesses cried openly while others sat there weeping in silence. Nala and the other cubs were at a loss, all turning to their parents for some sort of comfort.
Nearby Scar, the King's brother remained stoic.. however his green eyes looked sad. He had never wanted Simba to be killed. His act of revenge had brought on events he was not prepared for. However he steadied himself and approached his weeping brother, trying to give silent support in this time of sorrow.
Now the royal couple must give their cub over to the grass.. and start anew. A heir is expected from them as it was with every King. However neither Mufasa or Sarabi feel up to mating again not so soon after their son's death. It is rumored now that Scar may take the throne if the royal couple can't shake their depression.

The hyena clan waits in anticipation of Scar's rise to the throne. Shenzi expects him to allow the clan into the Pride lands like he has promised time and again. After all, they did help him kill the future King and so they need to be rewarded for their help. Some of the clan second guess her decision, including her sister Zawadi.

A new pride has been spotted moving into the Outlands. This territory has now housed a pride in many years and has the Pride lands nervous. This group of lions is lead by a female that is called Zira. She has no King by her side and sees no reason to mate with a lion just to have his protection from other pride's. Her lionesses are extremely loyal to her and would possibly go to war for her if she demanded them to do so. At the moment the lioness has no plans to cause any rift between her new neighbors but has heard rumors of a Prince that is need of a Queen..
Which makes her curious.
