Moving On (PRIDE MEETING)

[Eupe]

She stood, alone, at the top of Paradise Rock. She stared out at the Oldlands, seemingly unchanged since the death of their King. But their Queen was still here, and she wasn't about to let anything happen to her home.

She roared; loud, strong, and solemn. Somehow, even though she had roared for her Pride to gather many times, this time seemed more alone than ever. The roar echoed throughout her territory. This was the highest point in her lands, so her call could be heard from throughout. As the last of her roar faded into the distance, she sat. Once again, she felt more alone than ever, but more determined than ever.

Chaos is not an option. I will not let it be.

[Nafasi]

Nafasi lay sleeping in the shade of the rock when Eupe's roar reached his ears. As he woke up with a yawn, the cub noticed the tone in the roar. Loud. Strong. Solemn. Lonely? He bolted upright but fell over again as he put too much weight on his crippled leg. Letting out a squeak of surprise, He lay there slightly cunfused before he remebered why he fell. Rising again, this time more slowly, Nafasi made his way out of the shadow and into the sight of his queen. Gazing up at her, Nafasi noticed how lonely she looked. I wish I could help her. Somehow... he thought.

[Kosa]

Kosa looked up from his meal as the queen called. What does she want now? he thought, completely irritated. He never liked Meeko, so why should he be concerned about his death? As he took in her call his ears flicked down in guilt. Eupe was lonely. lonelier than ever since the death of Meeko. And on top of that, she had to deal with all the responsibilities that the both of them had shared. her job had gotten twice as hard. I really should look at the other side of the leaf before i go not caring about anything. rising to his feet, Kosa headed to Paradise Rock. As he reached the clearing with the rock, Kosa noticed Nafasi sitting at the foot looking worriedly up at Eupe. Eupe herself was sitting on the rock, looking lonely, yet determined. That's my queen! Kosa thought proudly. She was always so determined or confident, no matter the situation.
