The return of Malenga Shauku and the wondrous surprise of little paws. Though the rains had swept her and others away it has brought back many, along with new life. Shauku hopes the new life brings back hope and perhaps some more motion as the last while has likely been tough. While she was away it's expected that the pride was putting itself back together.
In light of her return there will be a clash of ceremonies thrown immediately in honor of all that has happened. The Introduction Dance and The Sun Dance will happen as a collaboration, of course there is expected mistakes and so on, but know that there will be no unhappy souls, unless they have decided to see her return in a different light than positive.

Ceremonies
The Introduction Dance IC Purpose: Introductions of new litters.
This dance welcomes the newborn cubs to the pride. Females give birth to their cubs in a den situated far away from the center of the pride. No member of the pride may see the cubs until she presents them, excepting their father or healers (in the case of health problems).
The female will return to the pride with cubs and beat out her rhythm in the drum circle. The pride gathers and awaits the Malenga. Once she arrives, the Malenga breaks the circle with the father of the cubs and approaches the mother.
In her mouth she brings the mother's jewellery. The mother dons all of her jewellery save for the piece she gives to her each of her cubs, signifying that they are a part of her. The Malenga then begins the welcoming chant, the pride echoing her words. The dance she performs is very simple one and with each verse of her a song a cub will step forward, say his/her name and join in the dance. Once all cubs are dancing the mother and father join, followed finally by the pride. They sing their welcome to the new cubs who are now officially part of the Nchi'mahadhi pride.
The Sun Dance IC Purpose: Simply to give thanks for good fortune.

Notes
Everyone is welcome to participate within this ORP. It's actually encouraged, Shauku has been gone for so long that she will need to be brought up to speed on what has happened - this is an opportunity to report any big news that may or may not have happened. Think big and small! This disappearance may have caused turmoil, it could be seen as abandonment. She had no intentions of leaving, but of course the truth could always been seen differently through different eyes.
Please let me know if you would like RP outside of the ORP. Or if you have any plot ideas, all are welcome. Just PM myself or the mule. ALSO, there will be prizes eventually and so all names of those that participate in this ORP will be entered into a Raffle that should happen in the very near future. <3
