Once she was sure they were out of sight of the pridelands Zira stopped. She turned to the lions who had followed her and watched as Scar took his place by her side. "Alright," she called to her new pride, "I'm not going to lie, Simba's pride is larger than ours, but that doesn't mean that we can't beat them." She stopped to study the lions expressions. However they disapointed her, not one acted like they didn't believe her. This was good. She wouldn't be able to make an example of those who disobeyed or mistrusted her, at least not yet, but they had to believe they could defeat Simba, other wise it was pointless to train or fight. If they didn't believe they could do it then they couldn't. "We'll need to train daily. But most importantly, the longer we remain a secret the better. Until we're ready he can not know that we are here. That means no trespassing in the pridelands. Food is scarse in the Outlands as is water. We can not go near the river unless it is after dark. Even then be careful. Simba's minions are everywhere. I will show you a small creek that we can use most of the time for water. There are also some hunting lands far to the east that I will show you. Life will be tough but we will survive. We will stand together. And we will conquer the Pridelands!" She paused a moment thinking of what to say next. She had to make sure that every member of the pride was loyal to her and would stick with her through whatever she did. "This pride is not something that you can just walk into and walk out of. Once you are a member you are a member for life. The traitors who turned their back on me will learn their lesson. Is everyone here commited to staying in this pride?"
