[RPG] Pride Journey | 1 - Speeltopics

I've no idea of the future, but I can see the past quite well. And the present, if the weather's clear.

Qeto

“We cannot leave Pride Rock, Qeto. It has been our home since the light first touched it.”
I growl and make my way over to the elderly lion.
“Our king is dead!” I shout. “As are three of our brothers and sister! We cannot simply just sit around and wait until there are none of us left! I won’t stand for it!”
“And who shall lead this expedition? You?”
“Yes, if I must. Nobody else seems to be prepared to take our family to safety.”
“To safety, Qeto? You think they would willingly follow the heir of Scar?”
Another growl bounces of the walls and I know my nuzzle is contorted in contempt.
“I am very much aware of who my ancestors are, thank you. But do not ever call me their heir again! I am nothing like that traitor! Or do you doubt my king’s decision to trust me enough to make me his chamberlain?”
Huh, that seems to shut them up.
“You can stay here and get murdered, if you wish. I am leaving, and I’m taking the lionesses with me. We will find the Saviour,” I tell the council.
“The Saviour? Surely you do not believe in such foolishness, Qeto?” one of the quieter elders asks me.
“I have no choice,” I answer. “Since the prophecy seems to be becoming very real. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to prepare for a journey.”
Without any further ado, I walk away and descend Pride Rock. Before going to the lionesses, I decide to hunt. Perhaps it will soothe me, and allow me to explain to them why we are leaving. Maybe a last stroll through the Pride Lands will comfort me, though I sincerely doubt that.
When I see a herd of zebra’s, I go down into a crouch. Slowly but surely I start to approach. When one of them seems to become alert, I stay very quiet for a while. Once they’ve settled, I strike. It doesn’t take me too long to snatch one, but it sure puts up a fight. It takes me three times to finally bite the right spot in its neck, and then it’s only a matter of perseverance. When I start to eat my kill, I notice I have lost all appetite for it. So I drag the corpse back to Pride Rock, under which some cubs are playing.
“Have your fill,” I tell them. “You’ll need it.”
They eye me with suspicion, but when they notice the blood on my nuzzle –indicating that I have tasted the zebra, and thus they won’t get sick- they dig in as if they haven’t had decent meal for weeks.
“Akua!” I shout, as I make my way over to her. “Gather up the lionesses. We’re leaving.”

Akua
I look up, flicking my tail happily when I recognize Qeto, before realizing that he was in what appeared to be a bad mood. So I lowered myself to the floor a little more, getting even closer to the cold ground then I already was. I'd finally found somewhere comfortable to lay down where I could keep an eye on the cubs without them teasing me, and my peace had been disturbed. Mind you, I never really minded when it was Qeto.
“Leaving... Where?” I look up again, puzzled at his words. I stood, and feeling a little bold, gently bumped my head against his shoulder affectionately. Then I looked up at him, decided he'd explain in a minute, and turned around to roar, letting the other lionesses know that we were going to be moving soon. I was usually ignored, but I didn't feel the need to point that out. When he made it more obvious we were leaving, another lioness would call the others, and we'd all leave. I decided to stick close to Qeto to be on the safe side. I detested travelling – to me it felt more like I was parading my half-breededness around and flaunting it. Then I looked back at him for his explanation.
