The classic tale of two brothers begin this story. One strong and golden like the sun, the other cunning and dark like the moon. Two halves of a whole. The golden son became heir to the throne whilst the dark one was overlooked. Jealousy danced in his envious green gaze. But the dark one knew if he was paitent enough, he would come to rule the magestic kingdom as his own. Then, whispers floated with the wind one fateful night. The golden one's wife bore him a healthy son, an heir. Enraged by being cast aside once again, this dark one began to plot against his brother. Allying himself with the vast Hyena clan, he knew he could take control of his desired place. One day, the golden child spoke to his dark uncle. It about about how his father forbade him from exploring the mysterious Nothern Border. The dark one knew, this was how he could ensure his place. He teased the curious child with the mention of an Elephant Graveyard before sending him on his way. He had then quickly demised an ambush, but things didn't go according to plan. The hyena's failed in the murder of the golden child for the golden one rescued him just in time. Enraged, the dark one fell to his thoughts and quickly devised another devious plan, this one killing two birds with one stone... He led his unsuspecting nephew to the bottom of the Gorge, a vast cavern to the south of the Pridelands. His hyena's then caused a wildebeest stampede, the herd barreling into the Gorge. The dark one ran as fast as his legs could carry, to his golden brother. He warned him of the stampede, and that his son was in danger. The golden one raced to his child's rescue, however, he didn't know he would not survive this. After placing his child on the safety of a ledge, he tried to climb his way up, only to be met by his dark brother. Long live the king... Those words echoed within his head, as the dark one cast him down into the midst of the raging herd. With his brother gone for certain, he turned his gaze to the golden child. He made him believe the death of his father was all the child's fault, before telling him to run away. Turning away from the scene, he sent his hyena's after the cub. What he didn't know, was that the hyena's failed him again. The dark one, then became ruler of the lands, tossing them into chaos as he allowed the clan free roam. He banished the young boys from his brother's reign and set about creating his own. The breaved ex-queen, gave birth to another son, thought to be the child of the dark one. However, unkowing to all, he was actually the remains of the golden brother, kept a secret save from one other lioness. Only one lioness bore the dark one his own child, the hated one. The dark King made the hated one his Queen with the news of her pregnancy. But upon birth, the King found his son to be a disgrace, a weakling. He demanded that the hated one bear him another, since his other son couldn't become his heir. The lands quickly fell to ruin. The herds moved on and the water dried up. All what remained of the legendary Pridelands was nothing more then barren wasteland. Far away, in a distant land, the golden child had been rescued and thrived under the care of two unlikely guardians. A childhood friend, now nearly grown, stumbled upon him and pleaded his help. After some reluctance, the golden child agreed and returned to the land he tried so hard to forget. Stepping out from the shadows, he challenged his monstrosity of an uncle. The battle between lion and hyena, Uncle and Nepew, was a hard battle. But then, the golden child cast the dark one from Pride Rock, where the hyena's turned on their master. Taking his place on Pride Rock as the rightful heir and King, he roared in a new reign. However, as the hyena's fled to their Shadowlands, no one knew that the dark one secretly survived the attack. The beaten brother crawled to sancturary, hidden deep within the Acacia Grove east of Pride Rock. Now, Simba gazes down to those he thought hated him for so long, feeling their responibity resting heavy upon his shoulders...
King Simba has returned and reclaimed the lands from his tyranical Uncle Scar and must help rebuild the Pridelands to it's former glory. Will you ally with this new King or forever hold your loyalty to Scar? Your choice must be made, for there are Great Expecations of you as Simba's roar echos Across the Sky...
