Henna

Apprentice Years

Sundust had been the only known Shaman that Henna knew. In her entire life, she had never seen anyone else talk to spirits or perform rituals. Sundust was the only Shaman in the Pride. Дъявол, the lion to have founded the Pride, had always asked other lions in the Pride to be the successor of Sundust, as a Shaman. No one had wanted to be one, however. There were not enough of lions in the Pride to be the successor of the Shaman. Most of the ones that were present, were huntresses or broodmothers. "Дъявол, I want to learn to be a Shaman." Henna stated to the king of the Pride. Дъявол looked at Henna in surprise. "Are you sure? I know Sundust would be delighted to have you, but it is quite hard to learn to be a Shaman. Sundust was lucky enough to learn from her previous Pride before coming here." Дъявол said. Henna had given the entire Shaman topic quite some thought. She had understood that learning all the herbs would take time and patience. Not to mention all of the chants and other things. "I know, and I understand the consequences." Henna said, leaving no room for doubt. Дъявол sighed but nodded and went over to call Sundust.

Since then, five years have passed. Henna had learned much in those five years, and she knew that she had much more to learn. A couple Yemen Warblers sat on her paws and chirped away happily. Sundust and Henna had found out that she had a quite unique ability for a lion. She could order birds. All she has to do is say the name of the bird and it'll do what she wants it to do. Sundust was much pleased to know that her apprentice was more than willing to learn everything there is to know to be a Shaman. Knowing this, Sundust was in glad to know that the Pride had a great Shaman in the future.
