I promise to intervene divinely
Season: Dry | Weather: Surprisingly cool | Location(s): Everyone at the Faction | Event: Important pride meeting called by the "Leader".
The air today was nice and the opportunity of prey was plentiful. It was one of those days, where even the elders could get giddy. Hunters and warriors forced on hunting duty could take it easy. The other prides were far off dealing with their own business. No one has yet to detect Kanta's invasion. So the leopard can breath easy as well. In fact it was one of those days that were romantic. Yes the cloud of death was looming over Long Tale but, was dissipating. Some doubted Nevaeh's ability to lead, but surely the Zorlin blood would kick in. And the lioness will be just as great as her mother. Or maybe even better. Many wiseones would say this is a blessed day.
This is why this meeting is so off putting. Neveah has called a meeting of emergency - of great importance. All cats, no matter their duties, must attend. Everyone can see Neveah standing on the waterfall's ledge. Doing her best not to slip and doing her best not let her calm crack.

I listen to other winds. I talk to other faces. I feel another presence.
Nevaeh had all the same features her mother had. A stranger could infer the Nevaeh was fierce, strong, maybe even intimidating. The feline was strong but, not in any way most would assumed. She was mentally and spiritually strong. However she's was a pacifist - like most wiseones. In fact she can be a pushover and too willing to compromise. Nevaeh was a lover and a teacher. Not a fighter or vicious dominating leader. Rarely does she enjoy taking the lead. I'm no expert! I'm not ready for any kind of leadership! I'm too young! I'm inexperienced! I know this is not my path! I know it in my soul. This time I'm not wrong.
Nevaeh couldn't keep still as she gazed down at her peers. Most, if not all, the same age as her. She closed her eyes and purred anxiety away. Tell me Great One. Tell me ancestors. Tell me which one of is the leader so, I can call them up. The lioness opened her light amber eyes. Her ears perked up and twisted in 180 degrees. Her whiskers twitched in anticipation. She looked deeply at Mowgli then Betyr. Two strong and capable males. Nevaeh went over Vale and Nina. Felines that tend isolate themselves from everyone else. But that doesn't mean that they don't have potential. Nevaeh than took a look at Seryn and Akinyi. Amazing hunters, ten times better than her and Nuru combined. Both females would be great leaders. Food wouldn't be too much of worry. Speaking of Nuru. Nevaeh dazed stare went over to her best friend. The thought of him leading made her shake her head. His attitude would motivate the pride to do anything. speak. A humble whisper with no body, glittered around the lion's ear.
"I'm sorry but, the winds take me elsewhere. I know as a Zorlin descendent it was expected of me to become leader. However I will remain as a wiseone. We all will choose and compete to be leader. Well, I won't be competing. If anyone wants to take my position, then please speak now." Nevaeh's legs were too weak to stand. While she sat, she wrapped her tail around her. Her calm falling apart. The female's muscle quivered as the weight of hers words settled on her head.
