Prologue: This takes place when Mowgli and Shanti are about 13-15. Mowgli had found out not long after the conclusion of The Jungle Book 2 that his supposedly adoptive family, the leader of the village (given the name Rajah by yours truly), Messua, and Ranjan are actually his biological family as well. But, this is the story of how Mowgli's life in the village along with his self-respect as a human being in general shattered just when the village leader, Rajah, was getting ready to name his elder son, Mowgli, as his successor as the village leader. Mowgli originally felt up for the task of taking over for his father, Rajah, as the village leader; and Ranjan had no issues with it, because he didn't really want the responsibility. But, there was someone among the villagers who doesn't want Mowgli or his father, Rajah, around to rule the village, at all. Rajah's cousin, Scar (originally called Talal), who was Village Leader, Rajah's, original successor as the village leader, resents his own cousin for picking a cub who only just became a teenager, thus replacing Talal. What will Talal do about his situation in the story? What will happen to Mowgli as a result of his second cousin/uncle's resentment of being replaced as Rajah's successor? To find out read my story, which is ironically similar to the newest adaptation of The Lion King (the movie of which it's loosely based up on).
