Remarkable

BrokenBell paced nervously outside dark's den wonder what He and ElysianClaw needed to tell him, Once ElysianClaw stepped out he called for BrokenBell and asked for him to follow behind. Once into the den BrokenBell purred a greeting to dark and received a nod in return. "BrokenBell..." Dark murmured quietly causing the young lion to shiver knowing dark was always mute and spoke through actions.

"You are going to be the next king of this pride." Dark said sitting up carefully noticing the surprised look on the adolescents face, Before BrokenBell could speak ElysianClaw wrapped his tail around the little lion in reassurance.

"It's ok to be nervous! Being a pride leader will be difficult but I'll be here with you the entire way!" ElysianClaw spoke to the nervous one, BrokenBell suddenly knew that Dark was 'leaving' as the older lions would say to the younger ones knowing death shouldn't be something they learn until later in life. Letting out a quiet whining kind of noise signaling he knew what it all means causing Dark to rise a bit fast and embrace the now crying adolescent.

"I will be fine, and you will do great. Please don't let my time bring you down I believe in you." The leader spoke softly and reassuring trying to cheer up BrokenBell. The young lion decided to stay with the older males to learn what he will need to know and to talk about what he learned throughout the past few months of being there knowing this moment wont be the best, but it also won't be the worst.
