I listen to other winds. I talk to other faces. I feel another presence.

Nevaeh knew this would happen. She can feel the powerful bond holding this pride together melt a bit. She can read everyone's frustrations, confusions, and disappointment. Oh my, the disappointment was the worst. It felt like a hard rock settling in her stomach. Am I failing this pride? Am I really doing what's best for it? Or am I really doing what's best for myself? The only one seemed relieved that she wasn't going to be leader was Mowgli. Which made the lioness really glad. Nuru seemed angry at her. She thought, her best friend of all, would understand. His outburst of him being leader made her shake her head. Neveah knows that his temper would lead the pride into pointless battles. Which is something that no pride has time for. However... there is a lot of good in the leopard.

The lioness was sure that Vale would have spoken up. He seems the type male to be leader. Nevaeh has to remind herself that his main duty is being a denmaid. However the denmaid to speak up was Nina. Which shocked the wiseone. "Leaders should treat everyone as equals, and he doesn't at all. He tends to push people around and intimidates them into getting want he wants out of them." Nevaeh silently agreed with Nina. Those were some of the qualities of a great leader. What would be some other ones?A idea hatch inside her skull but, she waited for everyone to speak.

The feline felt an odd sense of calm come over. Maybe it was spirits reassuring that everything was going to be alright. That she was making the right decision. Nevaeh could feel herself get excited for the upcoming birth.

The birth of a new tradition. Yes a change. The change Nevaeh has sense since a cub. The lioness doesn't have the ability to predict the future. Just a strong instinct to upcoming events. For example, she was not shocked when her sister died. Of course she was upset - still upset to be honest. But Nevaeh knew that Zion was going to die before her prime. "not complete," another whisper glittered around her ear. The female nodded at the voice. "I understand," she said only loud enough for herself to hear. A new leader is the beginning.

Plunk..

Hmmmm..

The sound of rocks spilling caught Nevaeh's attention. To her right, slightly down the hill she saw a retreating figure. Her heart stops. An intruder! She opens her mouth to sound alarm as the two meet eyes. Both cats share the sense of panic. How did an intruder get here? Oh that's right. It's Nevaeh idea to bring everyone here. So of course no one was guarding. let go... Let go! Why would I-

"Peace,"Betyr's growl brings Nevaeh back to the important meeting. "Speaking honestly, I feel the pride is at a disadvantage in this situation. I do not think we as a whole understand your decision of remaining a Wise One instead of becoming our Leader as a Zorin descendant should. I will not ask you to explain unless you wish to give us closure? The pride will respect your wishes of course. However... It is only right that if you wish to pursue the position at a later time, I believe it should be open to you, in respect of all our ancestor's before us. Or, if you have cubs one day, they should be given the opportunity to become our Leader in time as is their birth right." Betyr finished. His eyes left the younger lioness for a moment, too give a soft nod to both Nuru and Nina in acknowledgment. "This being said, the future Leader of the pride should understand that the leadership may only last one generation. It-..."

"It is only fair," Seryn finished for the white lion. Nevaeh stood up. Already knowing her response to their questions.

"If it is to be a competition, or better yet upon your own decision, then I will offer myself for the position. But... I would follow Nina. Nuru will make a fine cat one day, but leadership would suit him ill."

"Well, thank you for offering yourself Betyr. You are very a respectable and noble warrior. You're right, I should explain myself more," Nevaeh finally spoke confidently, smiling while happily swishing her tail. "I have decided to be the temporary leader of this pride until my replacement is properly picked. There will be a competition where each contestant must prove themselves. Mowgli and I will be main judges since we are wiseones. Though anyone can voice their opinions about certain cats any time.

Now onto to why I'm not leader. It is a time for a change, a new tradition. And that change does not include me as your leader. Why this change needs happen? Well you never know why change happens until it happens. I'm not doing just for myself. I'm doing this for all of you. You all deserve a great guide for the things to come.

If you would like to join the competition, speak to me privately. This meeting is over."
Quickly Neveah got off the waterfall, bowed to the pride, scurried towards the intruder.
