Cyprese has chosen his heir.
Cyprese heard last night that Sulien cleared some fallen branches and brush from a path near the den. Now the lionesses can drag prey back easier! Nice!
Cyprese was feeling a little bit of anxiety over the rumor that the hyenas would attack soon. Sulien sat next to him, however, and told Cyprese that he would proudly stand by his side no matter what happens.
Sulien is now King, and takes his new role in stride. Time to follow in his fathers footsteps.
You sit down near the Harbinger and describe the strange things you've seen. It gently nods, asking you questions that force you to think. Is there truly good, if there is no evil? Is chaos one of the cores of life, necessary for life to adapt and become strong? Without darkness, we would not appreciate light. Without pain, we would not appreciate victory. All must be experienced in order to become truly complete. Making any choice is not just a benefit you receive; it always means giving something up and leaving it in the past. Even in times of death and despair, only you can shape your own fate. Eventually, the Harbinger moves closer to you than it ever did before. It looks into your eyes, seeming to gaze deeply into your future.
"You are ready... at least, ready to help your pride survive the battle of Heaven and Hell. I am not yet sure if you are ready to change this world's fate, but perhaps that responsibility does not have to lay in your paws alone. You will prevail; when you do, make sure I am looked upon with gratitude, whichever side it is that you choose. If you like, we can continue to find Omens every day, until the dimensions finally merge. Once that happens, I will crawl back to the place I came from. I will express my gratitude with a multitude of tokens that may interest you."
You smile gently at the Harbinger. It doesn't seem to be forcing you into either side; it just seems terrified that, regardless of which side wins, there may be doom for those that were not loyal. This creature certainly is not a being that belongs to angels or demons. You will remember the Harbinger; maybe you'll even save it in the future.
