Ever since he came of age, Rain Shadow's been all eager to go out patrolling with Black Fang. But one day after a particularly fruitless patrol Black Fang said that he had taught Rain all he knew and that it was time to move on. Sorrel Wings scampered into the scene, slightly younger and fresher, ready for his first patrol.
"Well, can't I come too?" Rain stepped between Sorrel and his mentor, giving the cub a dirty look.
"Sorry," Black Fang rumbled. "It's someone else's turn now."
Fuming, Rain Shadow spent the time the other males spent patrolling sulking next to his favorite of Golden Wings' lionesses, Sunset Moon. He knew she wasn't, but he liked to think of her as his mother because he thought he looked like her somewhat, and his own mother had abandoned him.
"Sunset, is something wrong with me?" he ventured when the cubs she was watching were finally taking their naps.
"Nothing's wrong with you, darling." Sunset stretched her neck out to lick Rain's ears and yawned in the middle of her grooming.
"Then why am I here and that cub is out with Black Fang? I thought that was our thing!" he whined.
Sunset kept smoothing the young lion's pitiful mane and said nothing.

When you come to greet Rain Shadow, he gives you the most contemptuous snarl. He knew he was the one chosen to inherit the Pride of the Open Plains. Rain knew that the pride would rally around their new king, even if it was a pretty even divide. Rain had learned from his old pride how to make others like you so that they would be on your side when it came down to trouble. He had fond memories of telling Sunset Moon his problems and letting her tell him it would be alright. Rain shook himself. He didn't want to admit it, but there were some lions from the old pride he missed terribly. As much as he made fun of him, he missed Black Fang too. Part of him wished they would all be there when he finally took the throne.
He wouldn't be the simpering Golden Wings-wannabe Black Fang would have been, but he'd surely do better than this dog Leaping Shadow.
