the original plan was to just do your usual patrols on your territory, and then go back home. though the thought of going back home and getting swarmed by little ankle biters, or to greet your sub-males only to see that they were unsuccessful with there patrols, and or got into a scrap with another kings sub-male knowing your going to have to fix the issues later. suddenly walking around a bit more didn't seem so bad after all you thought. the quietness of the land paired with the chirps of birds, and the far off distant roars of another lion didn't sound to bad compared with the loudness of your home. what you didn't expect was the sight of two lone lionesses. pretty ones at that, maybe lying down and looking for a bit wouldn't be so bad....right? pushing down the stubble taste of being a creep, you sat down in a hidden spot (you thought so at least) to look at the view (or at least that's the excuse you thought of if you were to get caught) simply resting enjoying the sunset...yea...though that didn't last long when you heard a loud voice go through the air, startling you. "eletta someone's here." the so called eletta getting up, warely looking through the brush and rocks. "where?" she speaks up in a whisper, you almost didn't heard it. the other lioness stands up, you lie there tense 'this is what i get' you meekly thought. you see her turn around turning her head to look straight at you. to your surprise her eyes are glossed over, 'she's blind?' you thought. realizing your pretty view for the evening has been compromised you stand up from your spot and meekly (almost embarrassingly) walk out from the bushes. so called eletta is warily staring at you, while the other unnamed lioness stands tall...looking? at you. "who are you?" the lioness with the glossed eyes asks you. your paws tense. 'why is she scary?' you thought. speaking your name to them they seem to lighten up. "you speak truth" says the lioness with the glossed eyes. 'what?' you think to yourself. you thought you kept your facial expressen to yourself but you hear the smaller wary lioness, eletta laugh. you come to find out that they know a few of your sub-males and that they have mentioned your name before to them. (you WILL be talking to your sub-males about this) as they patrol this area often. (there not even supposed to be this far) talking to them more you find out that the bigger lioness is named kendi, that she's blind and is the holder of foresight. while the smaller wary lioness is eletta, and while she doesn't hold any spiritual aspect, she is the herbalist, and host lion in their pride. asking more about what a host lion is to them, they tell you that when kendi needs to speak to the ancestors eletta well become the host for them in order for them to speak. "we come from a long line of lions that are noble shamans in our pride, that can only be spread through our lineage" speaks eletta. "as long as our blood can be spread our gift well come through" finishes kendi. even more interested you keep speaking to them wanting to know more. the conversation leads into the late hours until the two sisters must get back home before there father, hyena, comes to look for them.
