This will have a part two! As requested, more hyena action in play! Thank you to KaoticAnder for giving head canons on how the Hyenas may have interacted with each other.
Character Ixavers and Character Piriia are my new favorite! So silly!

Scar woke with a pound headache and surrounded by a nest of sleeping hyenas. He groaned as he sat up, looking over the hyenas. The heat radiating from their sleep pile made Scar think of the afternoon heat that would settle on the land, just as the sun kissed the horizon.
"King Scar?" A whisper came, Scar flinched. "Do you wish to leave the den?"
Piriia's green eyes piercing through the darkness sent a chill down Scar's spine. He almost forgot that their ancestors were full nocturnal. They had to be in order to survive under the unforgiving sun and sandstorms of the elephant graveyard.
"King Scar?"
"Get, get me out of this ridiculous mess." Scar hissed as a random hyena gave a muffled cackle in their sleep.
Two green orbs drew close before Scar felt a gentle hand rest on his arm. "This way." Scar followed the gentle guide until the light of day burned his eyes.
"How did you sleep last night, your Majesty?" Piriia asked, unbothered by the drastic change of light.
"How in the great plains did I end up there?" Scar demanded, shielding his eyes, trying to get them to adjust to the later morning sun.
"You had more than your fair share of drinks last night," Piriia laughed. "Before following us back to the den when the fire burned out."
Scar rolled his eyes. "Not a word of this." Scar warned, not wanting rumors to spread.
Looking out on the ground below he could see a missionary of the Kraken religion and the priest of Tree of Life walking through the tall grass, seemingly lost in conservation. KaoticAnder waved his paws wildly as he spoke, his face wide with a carefree smile. Xeistuff simply listened and nodded, chiming in every few moments.
"That's the first time I've seen him leave the stupid tree." Scar scoffed, borderline impressed that the smaller than average hyena was away from the tree.
"Oh, those two?" Piriia asked, "They go for a walk every morning together and will talk for a few hours."
Scar's ears flicked as KaoticAnder's cackle echoed long and sharp across the plains.
"They act like brothers." Piriia chuckles as he walks past Scar to the tree, resting his paw gently against the rough bark. "Which is good. He needs someone to talk to."
Scar scoffed, running his claws over his mane, detangling it as he stepped to the Tree. "Of course, someone has to keep him in check. What better than a br-" Scar's breath hitched as the memory of Drog falling, his paw outstretched for him. "Never mind."
"Is everything alright your Majesty?" Piriia asked, his eyes searching the king's face.
"I'm fine." Scar huffed as he rested his paw against the sacred Tree, feeling the cool bark against his pads.
In the distance, KaoticAnder froze before turning to Pride rock, to the Tree...
"There he goes with his weird senses again." Piriia sighed as KaoticAnder waved.
