Taka—who would forever after be called Scar —limped away into the dusk. Mufasa watched him go, grieving not for the loss of a brother, but for the brother he never truly had. The scar would later mark him

The battle came at the full moon. Kiros’s army swarmed the valley. Lionesses fought white lions. The earth shook. Mufasa faced Kiros alone on the peak of Pride Rock. Kiros was twice his size, his claws like daggers.
