"Now that the Hunters have been healed, and the Pheonix have left Chima, what shall we do about the remaining ice tribes, and cat guides?" Said Lagravis.
"Well maybe, we could let them become a part of Chima? After all the ice tribes aren`t bad anymore, and the cat guides did help us a lot, it`s the least we can do." Lavertus said.
"Perhaps, we could allow them to live with some of the current Chima tribes, until they can manage themselves. If we do this the lions wouldn`t have to give out more chi orbs, because no new tribes would have been formed. I suggest that the Mammoths go to the Rhino tribe since they seem to get along, the Vultures go to the Raven tribe, and the Sabertooths and Tigers go to the Lion tribe since their felines, and as for Lundor, my tribe will take him, he could be helpful to us, since he`s a historian." Said Ewald.
"That sounds reasonable, however it would put a strain on our resources" Lagravis said hesitantly. All of the elders, except for Lavertus and Ewald mumbled in agreement.
"Precisely, for once I agree with you Lagravis, our resources are already strained, because of the mess the Hunters put us through. As for the cat guides, they aren`t even loyal to Chima, their loyal to the Pheonix. I suggest we leave them alone, and let them sort themselves out elsewhere." Crominus replied.
"Whether or not the cat guides are loyal to the Pheonix, their in Chima now, and we should help them sort themselves out. Besides the Hunters aren`t evil anymore, even though they harmed us, we should give them a chance before we cast them out." Lavertus said, defending his previous statement.
"What would you know about the harm those "Ice tribes" have caused Chima, Lavertus? You showed up at the final battle and barely did anything." Crominus said, with a sarcastic edge to his voice, and a slight smile. "Why are you even at this meeting? Your not a the ruler of a tribe."
Lagravis knew where this conversation between his friend and brother was heading, but decided not to interfere, thinking that they would finally settle the tension between them. He was wrong.
"Well Crominus, I was the heir to the lion throne before you got me exiled, all because you couldn`t bear the thought of Crunket wanting to be with me instead of you!" Said Lavertus with a slightly elevated voice. "I would have been the greatest king my tribe has ever seen!" he pronouned. "No offense" he whispered to his younger brother, Lagravis.
"Hah, you a great king, that`s laughable!" Said Crominus while lightly chuckling.
"Well at least I didn`t have to marry into the throne like you. I bet the only reason you wanted Crunket, was so that you have the crown err… helmet to the second most powerful tribe in Chima! Said Lavertus.
"I can`t believe he just said that" said Balkar
"This should be fun to watch" said Wakz
"That wasn`t very nice thing to say, why can`t you dudes make up and be friends?" Said Grumlo.
Ewald sighed, annoyed by how little they were getting done. "Can we get back on topic, I didn`t come here to watch those two argue. There are more important matters to discus." he said turning towards Lagravis.
"He`s right." said Lagravis "Both of you can discus your personal matters another time, for now we should talk about the important-
"Hold on Lagravis, can I just say this." stated Crominus "I love Crunket with all of my heart, what I did as a young man was foolish, but I did not marry her so that I could become ruler of the Crocodile tribe. Besides, if she had married you, she would have been forced to give up her right to the throne, and the possibility of biological children.
"Now it`s getting sappy" whispered Wakz. "Ow! What was that for Grumlo?"
"Shush, furry dude" said Grumlo while covering Wakz muzzle.
"Get your dirty ape hands off of me!" shouted Wakz.
"What makes you think that she wanted children in the first place? You just needed to have an heir to the throne." Said Lavertus in a mocking tone.
Lagravis sighed "This is hopeless" he thought.
"Are you saying that I don`t know my own wife?!" shouted Crominus as he walked angrily towards Lavertus, and leaned into the lions face, bearing his teeth with a complementing stare.
"I`m not saying that you don`t know your wife, I`m just saying that you don`t know her as well as me, or am I?." Lavertus stated nonchalantly, with a small smirk on his face, he knew he was really irking the croc king`s nerves now. "Can you please get out of my face now? Your breath is terrible!".
"Filthy lion!" shouted Crominus as he threw punch directly towards Lavertus`s face.
"That`s enough!" said Lagravis as he blocked the punch that was directed at his older brothers face. "Lavertus please stop provoking Crominus, and Crominus that was highly unprofessional, as a king you should act in a respective manner." he said looking Crominus in the eyes. "Now that this is over with, does anyone else have an ideas, as to what we shall do with the Hunters, and cat guides?"
*Silence*
Okay, fine this was a speedorz wreck, we`ll go with Ewald`s idea for now, all of you except for my brother can leave." said Lagravis in a hurried voice.
*Everyone except Lagravis and Lavertus leave the room*
"That was a great meeting right brother." Lavertus said jokingly.
"What the hell was that! When I said you could attend the meeting, I wanted you to contribute to the conversation, not start a fight! said Lagravis seething with anger.
"Well maybe I… I…" said Lavertus in a defeated tone, taken aback by his brothers sudden anger.
"How stupid do you have to be, you made me look like a fool!"
"Why can`t you yell at Crominus!"
"Because he`s not my brother, and he didn`t start the fight in the first place!"
"He tried to punch me in the face!"
"You should`t have provoked him!"
"Your my brother, you supposed to defend me not him!"
"Well, it`s kind of hard to defend someone, when they act like a cub!"
"It was his fault that I was exiled, I should be able to treat him like badly if I please!" and with that Lavertus left the temple to go cool down somewhere else.
Longtooth had heard the whole ordeal from the hallway. He wasn`t spying or anything like that, he was just walking down the hallway, because he had to deliver a letter to Lagravis, when he heard shouting, it wasn`t like he could ignore it either, because cats have incredible hearing, so he decided to listen in on it. No big deal right? Wrong! Because now he had to deal with a mad king who was of course his boss and friend. So what was he to do, come back later, and be yelled at for not giving the king the message immediately, or go in and try to lessen the kings rage, while giving him the letter? He decided to do the later.
"Good morning, Sir." Longtooth said nervously as he cautiously walked towards Lagravis who was slouching in his throne.
"Hello Longtooth." said Lagravis in a discouraged tone.
"You look down whats wrong?"
"I assure nothing is wrong, Longtooth."
"Sir, don`t lie to me, whats wrong?" Longtooth said in an assertive voice.
"I had a fight with my brother… no big deal." said Lagravis not looking Longtooth in the eye.
"Wrong, very big deal. Do you want to talk about it?" Longtooth said, he was surprised by how passive the king was being.
"No, I`ll be fi-" he couldn`t` finish his sentence as he caught Longtooth staring at him as a parent would to a child who they knew were lying.
"We can talk about it at my place, we`ll never get any privacy here." said Longtooth
They both walked towards the exit, with Longtooth leading, and Lagravis not far behind.
