Summer
The summer season has finally reached its peak. The sunshine is plentiful, the days are long and the air is hot and humid - but the evenings do not seem to provide the same relief that they once had, and remain somewhat stuffy. Thunderstorms have also began appearing more frequently, particularly in the rainforest and eastern region, though the rain is welcomed after a relatively dry season thus far.

Hi, Nice To Meet You

Raizel had been so busy pondering about her own arrival that she realized that she never actually answered @Darcy's question. "Oh goodness. How rude, I failed to answer your question. I've been in the pride since summer, I think July. But I wandered around this place for almost a year before I was found by Cassandra and was invited to join when I ran into her in the Grove." If she could blush at her embarrassment, she would have. When Darcy said it hadn't been Eisa but instead a different yearling, she pondered about the name. It was very vague to her as Analia might have joined in one of the hunts she called for the pride, but she didn't quite know the name. At the question, Raizel nodded slightly. "Eisa is one of Cassandra's daughters. She's a dark red with a mane growing. She's a Ranger like I am." Eisa was also a royal cub, so she assumed that Analia was also one of Cassandra's daughters.

Darcy hadn’t taken offense to @Raizel not answering her question about her time here. She figured that if she didn’t want to answer it why focus on the fact it hadn’t been answered. However it seemed the youngster had just not realized she had done so until now. Hearing the story she listened curiously. "A year? On my it sounds like you had an adventure before finding a place to call home." smiling as she spoke gently. "Though not like I am one to talk I was technically Pride less for seven of my nine years of life." She cooed with a small giggle at the end.
Listening to the description of Eisa she took notes in case she ran into them. "Now call me ignorant but this Cassandra she is high ranking? I am saddened to say I haven’t had a chance to meet any of the highest ranking officials yet of the pride." Yes the elder did just admit to not knowing who her leader was. Hopefully she isn’t looked too down upon for her lack of knowledge on the matter.

When @Darcy had talked about being prideless for seven years, her jaw nearly dropped. It made her single year being a rogue here seem so pitiful. "Before I came to these lands, I used to live in a place called Gaia. The Clan that I was a part of had me go on my Journey when I turned two years old and while I was gone, a volcano erupted and a rockslide blocked the passage back home. So I went wandering for over a year before I arrived here." Pondering about her Journey and learning the techniques that helped her become the Ranger that she was now made her smile slightly. Then came another question, this time about Cassandra. Nodding slowly, Raizel confirmed. "Yes, Cassandra is the High Sovereign and Revna is the Sovereign." She was still learning more about the pride and who was ranked where.

A place called Gaia huh? Listening to the story she thought about all that she had seen. All the places she had been, but none of it had been Gaia. "Interesting. I have never heard of Gaia." She commented pausing for a moment before continuing. "I am sorry for the loss of your homeland, but at least you are safe here." Her story wasn’t anything as grand as two natural disasters hitting her homeland. "I was born to a nomadic family. Following the herds, but never really staying anywhere for more than a few months." It wasn’t the best upbringing but hey she was alive. Which was more than she could say about her nonexistent family. Maybe here she’ll finally find herself a family. Worse come to worse she’ll just adopt some of these youngsters. Everyone needs an adoptive grandmother. Right? "Ah well that is very good to know I shall keep that in mind when meeting others." She said calmly as she rose to her paws. Having had a nice chat she decided that maybe she had taken up enough of the pink girl’s time, but didn’t want to be rude and just randomly depart mind conversation.

When the other lioness mentioned that she had never heard of Gaia before, Raizel nodded slowly. It was very far from here and it was not an easy trek. At her apologies about the loss of her homeland, she shook her head slowly. "It is a shame but I cannot mourn for it. The Spirits ways are not understood but everything happens for a reason. Maybe my Journey meant for me to come here." She had no family here and unknown to her, there were two other unknown Gaia natives who had come to these lands due to the passages closing off. "I've heard of those before. There were sub-groups of some Clans that did that. They traveled with the herds." Then there was the comment about meeting others and Raizel nodded slowly. She was glad to give some insight about the pride's leaders. Then @Darcy stood and the pink lioness realized that they had been chatting a while. "I believe I'm going to check out some of the other caches and see which ones need filling. It was a pleasure to make your acquaintance and hope to be blessed with your help in some of the hunts." Smiling lightly, she dipped her head and then headed off to do her job. Not knowing that she was going to run into Cassandra later.

Ah so the girl has been blessed with knowledge about nomadic cultures that was interesting. Maybe there was something like that here in Amaryllis? Maybe but maybe not. Being an island she couldn’t see how being a nomadic group with all these warring competing prides would be beneficial to them or the lifestyle. In any case as the pink youngster stood up and spoke some more she nodded. They had indeed been chatting for a while and she had interrupted the girl during her work. "A pleasure meeting you again dear and I look forward to helping out in future hunts. Please be well until next we meet." Giving her goodbye she smiled as the other walked off. Turning she left herself to see who else was around.
