I can't see color:

I never could see... color, that is. I didn't even know colors existed until someone pointed out the pretty colors of the trees. They explained them and... and all I could see was the colors I often do. I was jealous then... Why could they see color, but I can't? What was color like? Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, there is no cure for such an ailment, unless Wicasa chooses to heal me in his favor and grace. But that has yet to happen, and so color is just something of my imagination.

My blindness problem never caused issues in my cubhood, but my adolescent years had me unsure. All of the males my age would point out the females of the pride and speak of 'how pretty is she?' or 'She's such a gorgeous dame'. All I could see was just the colors I was used to. To me, everyone of the females looked just about the same... I had originally thought, because all females looked the same, maybe they were all the same... But then I met Talulah.

Apparently, to my other adolescent male pridemates, they thought she wasn't 'a looker', but I didn't need somebody to be a looker. What was the use when I had a form of blindness? So, thinking I'd be bold, I went up to her and asked her to go on a walk with me. She said yes, and it all started from there... We started spending more time together. We took walks together, hunted together, played together... I ultimately told her that, despite my blindness, she was the most beautiful lioness I had ever met. Since then, we had been mates.

Unfortunately my problems didn't end then. I still had to figure out what I wanted to do concerning a rank. Talulah had thought I'd be a good hunter... But I can't see much when it comes to prey. Almost everything blends in with each other. I could smell well, of course, but it can be difficult in a group of hunters. I know... I tried once. Unfortunately, I found that I was not cut out to be a kwahu, nor a tamatama, for I could not see the colors that they could.

After that, I tried scouting... While I could not see unless they came close enough, I could hear and smell those from a distance. After a few days of practicing, I found that I did quite well in it. Thank goodness, because I knew, for a fact, I would not survive as a torololla.

Of course, after a time the silver pelts came. Thankfully my mate and I got lost together, so we just took the time to get only lost some more. I saw and smelled things I had never seen before... It was different here... wherever we were.

But we were found by some older group members and now we're back in the pride of Wikimak... Thankfully, things haven't changed very much. (497 wc)

I can't see color: Tanger stared out blankly at the savannah. Everything was varying shades of gray, from the pale gray sky to the dark gray shapes of hunting lions.

He sighed and shook his head. No one ever let him hunt.

Ever since he was a cub, and had accidentally mistaken a black and white lion rump for that of a zebra, he had been banned from hunting. Yang, the tribe leader, had told him to stay close to camp and help their healer instead.

But that hadn't worked out either. It turned out that color was a major part in identifying herbs, and when he had almost fed a lion a poisonous flower that he had thought he was supposed to cure their bellyache, the pride healer had forbidden him to ever help him again.

Tanger sighed and watched as a lion, tiny in the distance, brought down some prey animal.

The grass beside him rustled, and there was a small mrrow as the cub of the pride, Tamba, leaped on him. Tamba climbed onto Tanger's head and bit down on his ear, growling.

Tanger shook him off, and Vidoki landed on the ground, letting out a small huff. He quickly jumped to his paws, staring up at Tanger with bright eyes. "Can we play?" he begged.

"Go play with your mother," Tanger said gruffly. "I'm watching the hunters."

"You always watch the hunters!" Tamba complained. "I want to play with you!"

Tanger rolled his eyes, but looked down at the small cub. "Fine. What are we playing?"

"Chase!" Tamba scampered away, dodging rocks as he went. "Can't catch me!"

Tanger heaved himself to his paws, then ran after Tamba. He found he was enjoying himself as the day went on, and when the other lions returned from the hunt, he was sad when he saw Tamba go to join his mother, begging for a juicy piece of meat from the kill.

He padded over to Yang, who was directing who got which parts of the kill. "Yang," he meowed. "I've figured out how I can help in the tribe."

Yang flicked one ear, his amber gaze intrigued. "Go on."

"I know that I can't hunt, fight, or heal, but I know what I can do: watch the cubs for the lionesses while they go out to hunt. They love to play with me; Tamba's proof of that. And I feel like I can actually make a contribution to the pride!" he finished, almost bouncing on his paws with excitement. Finally, he had a purpose.

Yang tipped his head to one side thoughtfully, then nodded a moment later. "Yes, that sounds about right. I'll go tell the lionesses."

Tanger puffed out his chest with pride. Finally he was going to be useful. He wasn't just going to sit and watch the lionesses; he was going to have responsibilities. I can't wait to get started!

Mstari stared up at the night sky, sighing as the flashes of different shades of gray flashed before his eyes. It was the night of the aurora, a celebration in his pride. But he couldn't enjoy it the way the others could. While he admits that it does look neat, it would look better if it were colored.

He glanced over at the others, all watching the sky in awe, before slinking away to his den. Kipepeo noticed, and quietly followed him.

"Mstari? What are you doing?" She asked, tilting her head. Mstari jumped out of surprise, wheeling around before sighing and settling down.

"Oh it's just you. You startled me," He replied, looking up at her.

"That doesn't answer my question," She stated, slowly padding towards him.

"There's no reason for me to be out there," He began, sighing, "I can't see anything! It all just looks gray and black and being out there just reminds me. Constantly. Because everyone else can see it, and they're always talking about how pretty it is. It just makes me feel worse about myself," He exclaimed frustrated.

Kipepeo took a step back in surprise, "I'm sorry. I didn't know you felt that way...." She began, before making her way back over to him, "But that doesn't mean something's wrong with you. You are just as needed for the pride to exist as anyone else," She said, rubbing her muzzle into his neck.

Mstari stared blankly ahead of him, "It's fine, Kipepeo," He said, pausing, "You know, it might help if you try and explain to me how things are colored? I can try to imagine it."

Kipepeo stepped back, smiling, "That's a great idea!" She exclaimed, "Now will you come back outside? I'm sure the others are wondering where we are."

Mstari looked at her, only just realizing how beautiful the patterns on her fur are.

"Alright. But first, can you tell me what you look like?" He asked.

"Me? Uh sure!" She said, her fur getting warm, "Uhm, on the front I'm just black and white, but they grow into this reddish orange color. Oh wait, you don't know what those look like... Uh I'm not really good at describing colors," she muttered under her breath.

"You're doing great, Kipepeo, just keep going," he urged.

"Uh okay! Uhm honestly that's pretty much it. My tail is white, and so are the spots on my paws. Whatever looks black to you probably is," She ended, looking away embarrassed.

"Well, that worked well," He said, smiling, "Come on, I said I'd go back out."

The pair walked back out to the pride, tails entwined and doused with color.
