Ruaka gazed up at the cloudy sky, watching the waning sunlight try to peak through one more time before it finally sank. It seemed a storm was brewing judging by the cool wind blowing through the pride and, while rain was always welcome, the young lioness didn't particularly care to hunt in the wet. She watched wistfully as the last bit of sunlight was swallowed up by the encroaching clouds before turning away.Ever since her talk with Nchekwube all those months ago things had made more sense to Ruaka, though at the same time new troubles sat upon her shoulders. Reincarnation was not normal, nor was it considered any type of honor. It was Death deciding that someone had not finished their purpose in life and had sent them back to try again. The thought weighed heavily upon her as she wondered what it was she was supposed to do with this second chance, what she had done in her previous life to not earn the respite of death. It was a lot for her young mind and she knew thinking about it too much would only drive her mad, that it was best to proceed with daily life as best she could.
And so here she was, feeling the first few raindrops strike her nose as she killed time before the hunt. She wondered if they'd even bother tonight since the rains would probably drive the herds to seek shelter rather than graze. That meant she'd have the whole night to do...something. She'd have to find something to occupy her time.
