I slam my sword into Scar's spear.

"Not bad Kion." He throws me back.

I slam my hand down into the sand to avoid sliding too far. I charge again. I can barely remember the soft grass under my feet. My paws. I can barely remember the sounds of elephants. Now it's just people. I'm one of them now. It doesn't matter who I was before this time. I'm stronger. I'm bigger. I'm... powerful. 

I break Scars spear into two. I feel rage as I fight. Rage I've never felt before. It drives me. It feels like a drug almost. Empowering me. Like that's unheard off. I slam my sword into his blade. His eyes. They're like mirrors. I can see my eyes. They look... like a monster.

"I have a test for you." Scar pushes me back.

"Okay... what?" I ask.

I hear a horn. I see the Queen come out. She sits down. What is going on? I see people coming out. People in chains. Prisoners as I once was. They have bags over their heads. What...? What is going on? They get kneeled before us. They're bags were removed. I know instantly what I'm supposed to do.

"Kill them." Scar says.

Words freeze in my throat. My thoughts suddenly break. My head turns blank. I can't think and I can't breathe. My heart pounds faster than wind. I grip my sword. I can see their eyes looking at me. It freezes me.

"What are you waiting for?" Scar asks.

I walk forward. 

Kill them.

Huh? I jump.

Kill them.

I can't just take a life. Can I? It goes against everything. Yet... I feel their eyes. I raise my sword. I feel like the sword is getting heavy. Too heavy. I slam it down onto a prisoner. I feel an unquenched rage.

"Now... kill them all." Scar says.
