The king has been keeping an eye on White, as she can't get around as easily as she used to. The lionesses, who are much younger, are outrunning her in hunts, White coming back breathless. She will soon be laid off of hunts, just to be able to relax her aging bones under the Willow tree where Lyvianna was laid to rest.
Note: White hit level 19 today (1-2-15). Her last hunt will be today, and she will be replaced with Celeste. Poor Celeste; hasn't been hunting since Vivian joined the party. The Slate lioness had to listen to the bickering between the temperamental Prune and the cocky Fiery lioness, threatening that her golden spots would fall off if they kept up the arguing. Both lionesses stopped the arguing, noticing how White's teeth had began to change from a gorgeous milky white to a softer white, showing old age; her cheekbones sinking in and her eyes seeming impossibly darker. The pride whispers as she walks, her small paws dragging the ground with each step, her tail hanging behind her as her ears flicker just enough to show she heard a bit of noise. The king ushers her to lay under the Willow, hoping the rest would bring back some of the lionesses playful-ness that she had as a cub. King Laizren waits with his queen, Vernai, who helps poor White get around, bringing her food as well.

White's last hunt was last night, though she didn't return until the early hours in the morning. When she returned, she was fatigued and claimed she was separated from the hunting pack. Kaylee was distraught; the Hell colored lioness had met White when she first got here and was attached to the old Slate grump. Laizren removed her from the hunting party and left Celeste to take the spot; Celeste was both overjoyed and upset by the decision as White was appointed to teach her. Now Mudslide has to be the teacher while White rests underneath the Willow.

These are White's last few days; everyone has been whispering and preparing a gorgeous ceremony for the last Slate lioness of the pride. Lillith has been introduced to the elder lioness, falling in love with her stories and her gorgeous golden spots. Lillith sits under the willow with White, listening to her stories of when she was a cub, when Aagney found her, and when Laizren took over.

White has officially seen three kings on the throne; Aagney, Laizren and now Zalious. Zalious is the only king that has been mean; he walks around, sneering at the lionesses, ordering them around. He had ordered White to go hunt, trying to take his new queen, Rogue, off of the party, but since White could barely stand, he changed his mind. That has been the only nice thing so far. White lays her head back down, her breathing getting uneven and her heartbeat skipping beats. Soon, it will be time...
