The Lion King 3: Current Events

The Clan

Marjáni

"Your highness, are you sure this will draw the lions attention this way by spraying our scent every where?" A male hyena asks me. His name is "Shaka".

I nod. "Yes. It is the only way for me to meet with the King without being attacked by his lionesses. He'll come soon. We just have to be alert and ready."

I stare at the magnificent rock formation sitting in a far distance. The rock where I USE to live and call home when I was a young pup.

I bet you want to hear my background story huh?

I won't get into full details, but I guess I can share a short story about myself...

My name is Marjáni. I am the hyena matriarch. The name of our clan is called, "Vanished Shadows".

I'll explain that name later...

My mother was named, "Shenzi". I'm sure that name rings a bell. Yes, she had children. She gave birth to me and my brother "Taj" in the old Elephant Grave Yard. In my eyes, she was a good matriarch. She taught me the best of everything. Even about lions, who she said are nothing but bossy, ugly, furry, very aggressive cats who like to collect a bunch of unnecessary rules.

My mother sadly died in a fire. I was a younger adult then. Her and the rest of my family were busy attacking a lion name "Scar". He betrayed our clan lying to Simba saying that it was our fault and our idea to get rid of him and another lion named "Mufasa". So in the end, the clan attacked Scar and together both died in flames.

It was a terrible sight for my brother Taj and I to see. We were the only witnesses/survivors. Simba could of finished us off right there if he truly wanted to. But instead he let us run, kicking us out of his kingdom and to never return again.

It was just me and Taj for a while until he had made a decision to travel on his own. It was hard for me to handle. I did not want to be alone. I thought siblings suppose to stick together. We argued then he left. I never saw him again since that day. I do think of him, wondering if he's still alive. If so, did he ever find a clan? Does he have a family??

After spending months alone, I finally found some hyenas. They didn't have a matriarch. Just a lonesome group having no clue where to go next. I told them I'll be there matriarch and know where to find a good food/water source. They were interested. I told them about the Pride Lands. I said if they help me get my home back from Simba, then I'll stay as the matriarch and promise to share the food and water with them.

The hyenas agreed.

Every since then, I was top dog and gave our clan the name "Vanished Shadows". Why? Because we are disappeared in the shadows. No one can see us lurking. We're very quiet and sneaky.

Soon this land will be mines! I will rejoice and help our hyena population multiply in bigger numbers. All the delicious prey will be ours. I will make my mother proud!

First, I have to get rid of that Simba...

"The pups are now woke, your highness." Said a female hyena. Her name is, "Lulu".

She's one of the sitters. She watches and feed my pups sometimes while I'm gone doing busy work.

"Excellent." I say.

Lulu brings them to me. Last month I gave birth to three pups. One girl, two boys! Their names are "Amana, Omari, and Haji". Amana will be the next future matriarch.

"My babies..." I said, smiling down at them. I lick each of their heads. They blink their eyes at me and smile.

Being a mother has been one of the best things that ever happened to me. My temper became more calm and feel relaxed a bit. I lay down placing the small pups in my arms.

I wouldn't dare let anyone hurt them...
