The colors of an evening sunset decorated the large rocks as a raging fire. Ever so slowly a lioness stepped from the shadows to walk along this shining path with the ocean waves crashing below her. Before she had always gazed at the home of the priestesses from her shadows with envy, but now her life was changing. Her special appearance and the odd gifts of luck, good or bad, that she managed to bestow on others had been noticed. With time the call for new priestesses in the pride had finally come and so Eris had found herself pulled out of her shadows into this new path. She had never been a coward yet the idea of being a reaver had never appealed to her. There were much more important things to learn in this life for her.Still even knowing that she was finally to be accepted as a priestess created a knot of nerves in her chest. There was so much to learn! Then came the question of who it would be waiting for her. The lioness who would teach her...would the experienced priestess accept her? It still felt, after all, as if this was a dream to be shattered at any moment. It would be so easy to turn away now and just go back to living in her shadows of the pride...
Eris gritted her teeth. She was a Stormborn and it was finally becoming time for her to act like it. Courage and determination shined in those eyes as she moved forward.. She could do this, it was time to finally prove herself to the pride. Finally the gods were giving her the chance to walk her true path. If she dare turn her back on these things now then surely she would be condemning her own life away. One never questioned the gods after all, not unless they were willing to put up a fight for it. And to be given a gift like this? Eris knew better than to reject it. I just hope that I can prove myself to everyone else that I can do this. Holding onto that determination the lioness finished walking up the path towards where the priestess would await.
