Uru was just a cub when Scar adopted her. Follow her journey through Lion King 1 & Lion King 2 Simba's Pride. How she learns what true love feels like? How it feels being taken away. How she finds her place in the pride.
Everyone of our pride has gathered. Sarafina, Nala, Shani, Tama, Estel, Nani, Sarabi and her sisters. We all the antelope. Before I jump onto a fallen branch getting all of their attention. "Something wrong Uru?" Sarabi asks me concerned.
"Yes, my father has been lying to you all" I state.
"Lying?" Nani asks.
"About what?" Sarafina asks.
"About what happened the day Mufasa died" I tell them.
"What about it?" Sarabi asks me.
"I was there" I state.
"No you weren't you were at the water hole with us" Nala states.
"Then left to return to pride rock" Estel adds.
"I meant to return, but I saw that the wildebeest herd was on the move. I was curious and went to the gorge" I explain.
"What did you see little one?" Nani asks me.
"Mufasa was running from the stampede, as my father walked along the cliff edge of the gorge" I state.
"Scar said he didn't get there in time" Diku states.
"He was there the whole time" I state.
"Finish your story" Dwala tells me.
"Mufasa jumped onto the cliff wall and started to climb towards my father. He asked him for help, but father didn't give it" I state. "Mufassa was struggling to keep his grip on the cliff wall" I tell them.
"What did Scar do?" Shani asks.
"He jammed his claws into Mufasa's front paws and whispered something in his ear. Then made him let go of the wall and tossed him to the stampeding herd. Simba was there, he was alive" I state. "I ran to Rafiki for help and then returned to pride rock" I explain.
"Uru, why did you never tell us?" Sarabi asks me with tears in her eyes.
"I was scared" I admit ashamed. "I was going to tell you that day, then dad took over with his hyenas. I knew we didn't stand a chance, that Nala and I would only be liabilities. But we're not cubs anymore and it's time we took our home back" I state.
"We're meant to protect this land and the circle of life. Father has only brought pain and suffering to it. He is destroying our home and I am done being afraid. I am ready to fight for our home" I tell them.
"So am I" Nala says as she joins me.
"Me too" Tama says standing on my other side.
"I agree, Scar must be stopped. But he is to powerful with the hyenas and Zira's pride backing him. We must wait for the right moment to attack" Sarabi states. "In the mean time, we must gather our strength and practice our fighting skills. If we are to free our home and avenge Mufasa" she states. "Uru is Simba really dead?" she asks me.
"I don't know, he was alive when I left to gorge to get Rafiki. But who knows what my father could have done to him" I state.
"If we're going to do this, we'll need help" Nala states. "I shall go look for help, then together we will end Scar's reign" she declares. We all roar in approval.
"For this to work, we need to act like nothing has changed. That we do not know a thing about what happened at the gorge" Sarabi tells us.
"That'll be hard" a few growl.
"I know, believe me I know. But this is the way it must be for now and Nala you must wait for the right moment to leave. We will strike when Zira takes her pride on the hunting trip" Sarabi states. We all growl in approval. The split up to arrive back at separate times, to avoid suspicion.

Nala and I have come into season. She left last night. I am at the gorge. I really want to know what happened to my mum. "Knew you'd come" Lucien states and I see him looking down at me.
"I want to know what happened to my mother" I tell him.
"Of course you do" he says with a smile. He jumps down beside me. "Walk with me" he says and walks off. I follow you. "Your mother was a queen" he tells me.
"She was?" I ask surprised.
"Yep, ever wondered why Zira hates you so much?" he asks me. "Well she was your mother's twin sister. She thought she would be a better queen. She has quite the silver tongue and managed to turn most of the pride against your mother while she was away having you. Only her two best friends believed in her. Hela and Nova" he tells me.
"How do you know all of this?" I ask him.
"Hela was my father's mate, she was the strongest lioness in the pride. She told him with her dying breath what Zira and her pride had done" he states. "They killed Nova and her brother Nahko" he tells me.
"Wait, that's the name of Nala's father" I state.
"Nova was his sister, he was visiting her when Zira and her pride attacked" he states. "They both died and so did Hela. But your mother managed to get away with you. She hid you and lead you Zira and the others away from you. Knowing this pride would keep you safe and raise you as one of their own" he explains.
"I can't believe Zira is my aunt and that she killed my mother" I growl.
"It's horrible what happened to them" he agrees nuzzling me. "Imagine how different you life would have been if you had your mother" he says and licks me. I look at him shocked. "You smell divine" he states.
"Why is my life so messed up?" I ask him. "I could have had a loving mother, a life where things could have been different" I state. As I lay down and look up at the sky. "Why did Zira have to ruin my life?" I ask him.
"It's ok, I'm here and I am going to make your life better" he whispers in my ear. He mounts me and I stiffen. "Shush, you're safe and I promise this won't hurt" he assures me. He was wrong it did hurt. But not as much as the emotional pain my father has put me through all these years. Once Lucien was done, he left and never came back. I rubbed his scent off of me before returning to pride rock. Where Tama told me she is pregnant.
