Sighing softly, Chanua smiled down at her son and lowered her head, licking the backs of his ears softly. His soft cries brought an even wider smile to her face, and after she was done cleaning his ears, she grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and made her way down from the shrine. She had the perfect place in mind to move him to. Making her way across the lands, she soon reached the rock they called Paradise Rock. Looking around for a brief moment, the lioness quickly located an empty den. Pleased with its size, she entered the rock den and placed Naji on the stone floor before laying down beside him. Resuming the bath she had begun giving him earlier, she cradled the young cub in her paws as her tongue ran across his fur, removing any type of debris that was hidden in the small hairs. Once she was finished, she pulled her head back and looked down at the cub and smiled, There. All clean and handsome.

Naji stared up at his mother and winced as she rasped her large tongue over his small body. He began to giggle due to its tickling sensation and looked around at where they were. Spotting a large white figure nearby he crawled out of his mother's paws towards the lioness and began to chew on her tail, not exactly hurting her since he had no teeth.

The Ancestor Shrine stood out above the many trees of the Oldlands. There was no visable reason for her to be there, but she had scented something strange in the Oldlands not to long ago, not far from the shrine. The first time there were two foreign scents, the second only one. She remembered both scents vividly, and made a mental note not to forget either. She was off on a mission to find Chanua, who's time had come to become an official Hunter and Warrior of the Oldlands. She also intended to warn her about the intruders.
As she approached the shrine, the second scent crossed her nose again. A growl rumbled in her throat and she sped into the Ancestor Shrine's clearing. She slowed to a trot as she neared Chanua, crouched near something. A cub lay next to her, carrying the strange scent. She relaxed, convinced a cub was no threat to them.

Emerging from the Ancestor Shrine, Chanua was shocked to find Naji latched onto their Queen’s tail. Grabbing the cub by the scruff and placing him between her paws before respectfully bowing her head towards Eupe before responding to the white lioness, Greetings, Eupe. Ah, this... well, this is Naji. He was abandoned by his mother, I am guessing. I scouted the area for her and there was no sign of her or any other intruders. The tone to the Queen’s voice was not one she could decipher at this moment. The other lioness did not seem mad, or unpleased by this sudden development. However, Chanua would not be surprised if Eupe was displeased with her taking on a cub, though Naji was now old enough to be left with a cubsitter while she did the duties that were expected of her.
Something would have gotten him if I’d left him on his own, my Queen. I hope you can understand. The lioness bowed her head again with respect. She had no intentions of making the white lioness mad, and she hoped that she would allow the cub to stay with her. Gazing down at Naji, she smiled slightly and nudged the top of his head with her nose before raising her head, gazing at Eupe once again. Though, the lioness had not come in search of Chanua just because of the scent of the cub. There had to be something else the Queen wanted to speak with her about.

Naji continued to chew on the tail until he was in the air and held by his scruff. He pawed the air and giggled until Chanua placed him down. The young golden cub began to squirm, moving his small body back and forth, as he was placed between his mother's paws but stopped momentarily when his mother nudged the top of his head. Looking back up at her, the cub blinked momentarily and resumed his little quest of getting free and making it back to the white tail ahead of him. Naji had fun chewing on the strange object and since the lioness didn't yell at him he figured that she was completely alright with it.

"Greetings, Eupe."
After Chanua's customary show of respect, she began to exsplain herself.
"Ah, this... well, this is Naji. He was abandoned by his mother, I am guessing. I scouted the area for her and there was no sign of her or any other intruders. Something would have gotten him if I’d left him on his own, my Queen. I hope you can understand."
A smile spread across her face. "You are indeed ready to become a full member of this pride, Chanua." She spoke of the coming-of-age ceremony when a lion or lioness make the transition from being a Juvenile to a Hunter or Warrior, or in this case a Cub-Mother. She looked down at the cub and another slight smile overcame her. "Naji is welcome in the pride." She looked up at Chanua. "And you are welcome to be a Hunter or Warrior." If she took in the cub as her own, as would always be an option, she would have to be a Cub-Mother until the cub could fend for itself. Legend: Thoughts "My words" "Others' words"

Pride and excitement swelled within the lioness' chest. This was the moment she had been waiting for for so long. A gracious smile spread across her maw and happiness shone in her eyes as the Queen welcomed the young cub as well without a moments hesitation. Thank you, Eupe. I am so honored. Until Naji is old enough to fend for himself, I will be a cub-mother. After he is old enough, I would be very honored to be a warrior for the pride. She had put long thought into this decision, and the lioness felt that being a warrior was what suited her best.
Feeling the young cub wriggling between her paws, she cast a glance down to him to ensure that he was alright only to find him on the move back to their Queen's tail. Laughing softly, Chanua spoke again, He seems to be rather fond of your tail, my Queen. There was love in her voice as she spoke about the cub. As he grew, Chanua would teach him all about Eupe and the wonderful things she had not only done for the lioness, but for the entire Oldlands pride.

The young cub began to wrestle about while rolling onto his back, still playfully biting the Queen's tail which served to be as quite a fun toy for the little toddler. Stopping momentarily he stared at the two females, as he rolled onto his stomach, his ear flicking back and forth for a brief moment before refocusing all of his attention back on the tail when he stopped and stood up. Looking underneath him, he noticed that he himself had a tail, a small one but a tail nonetheless. A small smirk crossed his maw as Naji began to spin around in circles trying in vain to catch it only to end up falling over, the images around him growing quite blurry due to dizziness.

She nodded with understanding, the future cub-mother's decision had practically already been made for her ever since she discovered the small cub. A gentle smile overcame her as she watched the white cub nibble on the now wet fur on her tail. She gently lifted her tail as the cub was clutching it and placed him gently at his new mother's paws.
Satisfied that the cub was entertained, she looked up to Chanua. "I will begin planning your ceremony immediately." She bent and laid her rose nose gently at the center of the cub's forehead. "And yours as well." Deciding the leave the new family in their alone-together-ness, she turned with a queenly flourish and nosed her way into the undergrowth, white body completely encompassed in foliage in a matter of seconds. She sent an echoing, "Welcome," over her shoulder, and she was gone. Legend: Thoughts "My words" "Others' words"
