“Arazo! Leave your brother alone!” Her mother’s words came quickly, sharply, and soon the strong grip of her mother’s jaws closed around her scruff, pulling her away from her brother. Her paws continued to flail for a number of seconds before she flopped, accepting her defeat. “I’ve told you before, Arazo! You need to use your words! You can’t just attack your...” Blah, blah, blah. Same old, same old. If her brothers weren’t so stupid, she wouldn’t have to fight them!

“Arazo! What were you thinking?!” Her trainer’s voice rang through her ears, barely audible over the squalls of the other apprentice, pinned beneath her weight. She stood, tilting her head.
“I’ve pinned him, ser. That’s the end goal of a fight, no?”
“Well- Ye- No! You were supposed to practice your hunting! Also fighting dirty isn’t the way!” Her trainer began, beginning his usual speech about fighting fairly. Using dirty fighting pinned her opponent faster, therefore she was unharmed and the opponent was no longer a threat to the pride. Was that not important?

“Arazo! Get back here!”
“No!” She spun, ears pinned and eyes narrowed in the direction of the her father. “I’m done! I can’t live with this pride any more! I don’t want to be a hunter, and I definitely don’t want to settle down and give up my life if I want cubs! This pride is living in the historic ages, and I don’t want to be a part of it any more!”
And with that, she turned on her heel, and left her birth pride.

“Djall! Hurry up!” She hadn’t been part of the Flame Valley Pride long, but already, she knew the large male as well as she knew her own mother.
“Arrraaaaaaa,” The male complained, dragging his paws, “We’ve been walking for houuuurrsss!”
“We’re not even at the river yet,” She reprimanded playfully, batting him with her tail. “Now, c’mon, this’ll be fun!” Beginning to trot ahead, hearing the grumbling male behind her follow, her heart soared. There were no more negatives, no more scolding.
She was truly happy.

Yuza, having already finished her day's work, was sitting and chatting with her friends. At the moment, they were discussing the latest apprentice to graduate to a true Gatherer: Icumu. He had finished his training, yet frequently got reprimanded for doing minimal work.

As if one cue, Icumu came padding by, seemingly empty-pawed. That can't be right.

"Icumu!" Yuza called. "Can you come here?"

The young male sloped over, an exasperated expression on his face. "What is it?" Icumu grumbled.

"Where's your basket?"

"Lost it." Icumu shrugged.

"And what about the herbs you were sent to gather?"

Icumu groaned. "I didn't even wanna do anything today. Why can't the Healers go get their own herbs?" Saying such a thing in any other role would have earned him quite the punishment, but that was not the game Yuza, or any other Gatherer, played.

Yuza rose to her paws. "Follow me."

"Where are you taking me?" Icumu demanded.

Yuza only smiled. "You'll see."

Finally, they reached one of the Healer's dens. She gestured for Icumu to go in.

Inside, the den was large yet crowded. Sick lions were crowded together, tended to by two blue-grey lions. "Earwyn." Yuza called softly, catching the attention of the eldest. He finished applying a poultice to a wounded lion, then quickly made his way over.

"It's good to see you, Yuza." The blue lion murmured. "Were you able to find the herbs?"

Yuza frowned. "No, I'm afraid not." She looked over at Icumu, who was staring at the scene with wide eyes. "Do you have enough to last you tonight?"

Just then, a lion in the corner began to cough loud, wheezing coughs. The youngest medic scurried over to them. Earwyn sighed. "If we stretch it. But, Yuza, almost every lion here is sick, dying. I would go myself, but-"

"I understand." Yuza interrupted. "We'll have it by tomorrow. Good luck, Earwyn." And with that, the two Gatherers departed. They walked in silence for half to the walk back, before Yuza finally spoke.

"Do you understand, Icumu?"

"I...I do. It won't happen again."
