(Sorry for the short post, I'm not really sure what to say right now.)

Sheera
The lioness nodded sleepily. "Sure," she said, stretching. "Let's go."
Sheera started to leap down the side of the mountain, vaguely remembering the night before. Her paw slipped as her thoughts wandered and she snapped back to focusing on her task: getting down the mountain without snapping her neck.

She slowly followed Ghembo but asked in a grunt, "That's all fair and everything but I'm not staying here permanently, so why the need to work up t'wards a rank?" but she adjusted the rifle across her shoulders and subconsciously folded her arms afterwards defensively.
(Sorry for shorter than average post! xD)

Ghembo
Ghembo flicked his mane. "Because," he said, "if you are of low rank, you are not protected. My rank can only get you so far. Imagine a wolf pack, since you humans seem to care much more about them. Imagine the Omega, treated badly and always gets a single gulp of food. Now think about that, but with lions. Abuse to the Omegas can eventually turn into a killing." He sat on his haunches, licked a paw, and began grooming. "If you want to survive, learn your duties, and learn them well, otherwise you won't last a day as part of my pride."
(That's alright! Sorry for my super late post~)

Ghembo
Ghembo raised his eyebrow. "You will learn how to hunt." He took a scathing glance at the gun. "Naturally. You will not be permitted to use your current tools during hunting, the only ones you may use are ones that you make, here in my lands. You will also go on border patrols and make sure that the other prides stay off our land." He stood up. "But before you do any of the important duties, you will be introduced to the pack. At first, they will disrespect you and your flesh, but if you prove yourself to them, they will learn to honor you. Lions can be prideful, but they are not foolish." He raised his head. "Despite what you think, neither am I."
(Ah gash, let's just head to the pride now... {gonna be a HUGE post, btw})

"Hold on.." Brunhilde growled back viciously. "Hunt naturally? I beg yer pardon but humans aren't known for their big claws and teeth." she said, indicating them with a snarled look on her face and the curling of her fingers. "I know I'm not the most delicate flower in the bunch, but I'm not gonna be runnin' on all hands and feet to catch an antelope or whatever yer lot think of eatin'. I'm no' a caveman!" adjusting her rifle slightly, almost self-consciously, but she shook her head swiftly and still followed the lion and hissed back, "Don't worry - I won't let yer darlin' pride down."

Ghembo
Ghembo rolled his eyes. "I think you may have misunderstood me. You will not be using that monster." He nodded to the rifle. "That will make too much noise, and scare off our prey." His fur spiked. "Don't think about arguing with me. Don't bother." He flicked his tail and shook his head in dismissal. "End of discussion."

Ghembo
Ghembo trotted away, listening for the gentle clap of footsteps. He smiled as he led Brunhilde and the translator away from the cave.
He basked in the morning glow, while continuing to move forward, enjoying the warm light heating his back. On a day like this, no clouds blocked the sun. It would make it majorly hot when midday came, but for the moment, it was just right.
Dry, savannah grass crackled beneath his paws as he stalked towards his pride. He gave a roar from his position, pausing to hear an answer. One of the other alphas returned his call. From his vantage point, Ghembo could see the lions assembling near the base of the mountain, one of the lowest, yet flattest, areas in their living.
After another five minutes of steady walking, they reached the foot of the mountain. Brunhilde would certainly have no trouble climbing up this gently sloping path. He quickly made his way up, and was glad to see that much of the pride had arrived. A stray lion or two was missing, but no one important was gone. Except... except Sheera. She was not present, and she should have been, especially one in a position as important as hers.
He trotted up to a fallen log that had been dragged into the clearing a few moons ago. Even so, mold and lichen had already begun to sprout on the logs.
"Ahem," he began and all idle chitchat ceased. "We have a new... temporary addition in our pride. She will be taught how to hunt by Sheera," his ear twitched in annoyance. "She will learn how to understand our ways by me and my translator." He nodded towards the Light lion, who dipped his head in recognition. "She will begin today." At this point, murmurs of confusion had sprung up, but the two alphas to his right and left remained silent, stoic. "It is time for you all to meet her. Brunhilde," he roared, looking straight at the human. "Come on out."
Sheera froze as she heard the assembly roar. Her hesitation costed her dearly, and she crashed down the remainder of the mountain, which was thankfully a few yards, nothing that could permanently damage her.
"Spades," she cursed, flicking her tail and glancing at Ariana. Hoping that she hadn't heard the call was pointless, it was so loud that it continued to ring in her ears.
As she sat on her haunches, nursing a scrape earned by her tumble down the mountain, she realized their horrible position. The clearing was just on the other side. If Ariana was found here, she would surely be caught and killed...
"Ariana," she called, careful to keep her voice loud enough to carry, but not loud so that another lion in the too close meeting area could hear her. "You need to get out of here, now."

Anything else. I could have got myself into anything else nervously, she kept out of sight as wild thoughts clouded her head, If i shot one of 'em I could run off.. forget it, I ain't a sprinter. grumbling and hissing to herself, she then heard Ghembo's demand. Who cares, I'm a dead woman here or back home. grabbing her rifle self-conciously, she held it in her hands before walking out in a defensive, almost bent-over position, her eyes narrowed and like sharp daggers - meeting the lions with her fierce, defiant gaze. She was well aware that glowering wouldn't help her, but she wasn't going to fool anyone with a fake act, they best know now I'm not gonna take anything from them. And I'm certainly not gonna bow down to them. Never in their dreams.

Ghembo
Ghembo sighed in aggravation at the human's extremely hostile demeanor. "Since Sheera is absent currently, Brunhilde, my translator, and I will go hunting. We will be back before midday." Ghembo glanced up at the sun poking its head up between the two mountains opposite of the plains of his territory. "Hopefully, we will bring back enough to feed the cubs." He began to hop down the edge of the rock when he paused. "Also, she needs fire to cook her food, so do not be alarmed if you smell smoke. Her stomach is not as hardy as ours." A few lions snorted at the human. "She has no natural claws or anything to use to attack so she will be using the cutters." The lions nod; most of them have felt the bite of the knives. "Thank you." He leaped nimbly off the rock and nods at Brunhilde.

"Look at this!" Rhea yelled. Her dad came over. He looked at the serum she had made. He smiled and motioned for her to follow him outside. Their wolf came over and tackled him. He smiled and got up. He put some of theserum in his hand and held it out for the wolf to drink. When all of it was gone, Rhea's dad frowned. "Nothing seemed to happen," he said. Rhea sighed. She took the serum and walked to the forest. She sat down by the river. She was terrible at chemistry. She put her head in her hands. She heard a plunk and looked over. The container with the serum had fallen in. It disn't matter. It didn't do anything anyway. She walked back to their house and sat back down. Time to get going.
That night, their wolf had changed into a dark wolf and ran off. After that they terrorized her and her father. Thats because they knew.
(That okay?)

Excuse me? Hearing the snorts from the lions, she whipped her head around and growled
slightly, bearing her teeth ever so slightly. While yes, it wasn't the most courteous behavior, she knew some of the behavior of creatures and found it better to stand her ground rather than to back down. She overheard his comment on the 'cutters' and felt herself exhale a breath of relief. At least I'm not having to bite something raw. shuddering with the idea of having to hunt with no equipment. Seeing the brisk nod from Ghembo, she didn't reply with the gesture and simply walked off to find her knives. She did feel some regret with her stand-off attitude, but these things were predators and as far as she was concerned, she was a piece of prey in the heart of their camp.

Ghembo
Ghembo's translator flicked his head from Ghembo and the human walking away with cool confidence. Instead of getting frustrated, his mouth curled into a smile. She was learning fast, or used to such behavior. He padded after her calmly, knowing full well that her resistance to being integrated could not last long. No matter what the animal, a sense of safety in numbers and family. No creature can resist the call of instincts.

Ghembo
Ghembo was tempted to snort, but held back the urge. He was in the presence of another lion, and upon that, he was trying to get Brunhilde to accept the idea of integration, so being rude probably would not help his cause.
He headed the party, once again cursing Sheera's inattentiveness. Just as he had the thought, speak of the devil, she came crashing through the brush.
"Sorry," she dipped her head in respect, not tired at all from the sprint she just took.
He narrowed his eyes, flicking his tail in obvious agitation. "We'll discuss this later, in private." Sheera hung her head in shame.
"Stop translating now, replace anything with anything, I don't care." Ghembo said to the lion. "Sheera, this is also going to be a test for you as well as the human."
Her eyes widened, the lions' way of raising eyebrows. "It's a test for it?"
"Yes, as well as you. We are going to see how well equipped she is to survive in the wild." Sheera began to turn her head to the human, but Ghembo growled quickly, "Don't look at her."
Sheera's head snapped back to Ghembo. "If you can pass this test, you will be given the responsibility of teacher hunter. You will teach our cubs how to hunt, especially helping the ones that with parents with busy jobs."
Her eyes widened again. "But, only males have had it thus far!"
His face remained impassive. "I guess you'll have to be the first one."
As Ariana darted away gracefully, Sheera felt a pang of regret. She registered the feeling with surprise: it had been a long time since she had felt that way about anything. At this point, she was so used to disappointment and fear that she shut off her emotions. Now someone had flicked the switch and they were fully operative.
I'll visit her tonight, Sheera vowed, I'll say I'm on a hunting mission, and go hunting with her. She smiled; the thought of hunting with Ariana dazzled her and she practically skipped to the meeting. However, just as she touched the edge of the clearing, Ghembo broke it up. She sighed in frustration, kneading the soft dirt beneath her claws. Now, she had the option to stay hidden and say she was out hunting, or some other excuse, and couldn't hear the call. While that would most likely lessen the punishment, she would still be punished for hunting without regulation of a male, and all of the alphas would have to be brain-dead to believe that Ghembo's mighty roar had not reached her ears. With a sigh, she padded after Ghembo.
