The woman was scared. She was terrified. To claim what? To claim her? She had always been her so what was this? The fear was almost nauseating with how strong it was but she had little time to react as suddenly there was a new scent. One that was from the outside, that brought comfort to the tribal woman. Anything but this. The king cheetah felt her body be pushed away from the tree just as it burst into flames, the blue and white fire licking and curling around the tree like a serpent. Hungry it ate at the bark, popping and hissing and she tried not to look at it and instead at the one that had pushed her away. Yet her words were glued to her tongue, trying to swallow down what she had seen happen she looked down at her paws. They were shaking, she was shaking. "Thank you... This one is sorry." Though she was sure that she didn't even know she was the cause of this. The tribal woman didn't want to talk about it but she was sure it would come up. Facing this new reality was harder than she ever wanted anything to be. What was she? Who had she been?
