Zira reveled in their long moments of drawn shock on those before her. She was pleased to see all she wanted were present. The royals of course like that cursed Simba and his pretty little queen and princess. That infernal bird was here to, circling overhead. Good, for he could announce all afterward. But best yet, the traitor was here as well, features healthy and fit in his startled form. It made her sick with anger, wishing almost to tear into him. but she felt pleased too by the way he viewed her and her two loyal children. For she saw with satisfaction the eyes drift to her scars and the loyalty they represented.

“Zira.” Simba barked, anger apparent as shock wore off. “What are you doing here?”

She smiled and felt her son laugh manically and her daughter give a scoff.

“Why Simba.” She drawled voice rising and lowering in increasing oddities. “To come appreciate our work.”

She motioned to the area around, the smoldering, ashen land. “Quite stunning. Efficient as its destructive. Flames are marvelous work I feel. And when applied with such delicate execution its breath taking.”

Nuka broke into cackling at that. Startling all of them save the ones beside him.

“Nice one mother.” He cheered, dancing in place and hopping about. “I’d say we took quite a few breathes away today.” His voice dropped in cruelty then. “Permanently.”

The mania on display was startling for all. But Zira only nodded, satisfied with the gratification while something like somber, angry looks came from his sister.

“Not enough.” Said Vitani, looking down with one good eye between the lot. “Should been one of them rather than a bunch of weak prey and hunters.”

That startled them all and they looked alarmed.

“Zira.” Simba said low and menacing. “What does she mean?”

“Obvious isn’t it. Think you’re smart enough for it.” Then something like truest malice took over her features. “We took what was ours. What was needed and your people pay for what you and your family took.”

There was moment silence and then Kovu strangled question came.

“What is your plan?” He hoarsely muttered. With that question the humor was lost and anger came over Zira’s features.

“Oh no. You don’t get to know the inside anymore.” She derided him with her eyes contracting to hate filled slits. He flinched from those eyes and chilling fear greater than anything ever felt in her presence intensified. He glanced at Vitani and shuddered at the equal blood hungry anger there in and the glee at Nuka who hopped up and down at the open hostility at his “brother”.

“Oh, come on, mother.” Nuka whined. “Can’t we tell them exactly what will be doing to them? I want to see them squirm.”

“Hush!” the command that came from Zira was not harsh like it been in past towards him. It was gentle, affectionate, like a mother trying to settle a rambunctious cub. To emphasize it she reached out and stoked him on the face and chin. “We can’t spoil all the fun.”

Vitani’s eyes narrowed and she seemed to be grinding her teeth from effort not to launch herself at them.

“Let’s be done with them mother. I can’t stand being in the traitor’s presence anymore.”

Zira looked at her and sighed but nodded sagely. “Your right.” Her eyes fell suddenly cold and unsmiling upon them. “We had our fun so we should finish this.”

Simba and the others stiffened readying for a fight. Kovu moved in front of Kiara protectively, hearing Simba mutter instructions to Zazu who seemed ready to fly off. He was asking the bird to send for reinforcements while they held them off. Kovu was already planning to send Kiara away and maybe go for the elephants still smothering flames up north. But Zira didn’t attack, or even prepare to spring. Instead she spoke.

“Look well on this,” she motioned to the still untouched lands behind. “and then to what we made.” To the lands taken by fire.

“This is what will be at the end. You made ruin of everything we had so we will leave ruin for you and yours. You will suffer for your crimes. For your theft, injustice, weakness and treachery.” She said the last words looking at Kovu.

“You have no power here.” Simba said. “You’ve showed your plans, the worst you could do and we know how to combat it. You won’t get through again and we will fight back. And end you if need be.”

She was not intimidated and instead smiled at this challenge. “Oh Simba, I hoped you’d say that. For you see we were not aiming to kill you here and now.”

At this the sound on the wind took some new voices. Chilling horrible sounds of roars and screams. Ones from their own pride on the side where the fire been started. Where the sounds were also of unknown lions clearly the attackers and victors. As they listened immobile, horrified, Zira’s horrid smile widened.

“We intend and WILL end you all and it will be when least expected. But for now, your fear will do. Will soothe me today, ease me to sleep tonight. Until you die, stew with your pride, ripening for when death comes. And it will be consuming, frightening and painful as the flames.”

With that she turned and left, her two cildren follwoing after, disappearing into ash and smoke in the silence after roars and screams died away.
______________

A return to this and big one. Strap in folks it gets crazy after this.

Final note, think the image though cool it may be too dark. Also I feel I didn't write Zira crazed enough but meh. Have time to add more to her in later installments.
