Chapter 7: The Council of Ahadi
The days rolled by, one after another, without many life-changing things happening. After a few days being left behind on the hunt, she got angry. "King Ahadi! Why have I not been allowed to go on the hunt? You know I can hunt!" she demanded one day, marching up to him. "I know no such thing!" he cried, "But I do know that food is scarce lately, and you will not ruin the hunt with your-your-abnormity!" "Sire, if I were to bring down a zebra or something, by myself, would you let me join in the hunt? I have found that if I am careful, the animals won't even notice me." "Absolutely not! Even if you were able to bring down a zebra big enough to feed the whole pride-unlikely- you are too young to hunt!" "But sire, many of the lionesses that hunt are younger than even me, like Sarabi, Sarafina-" "That may be," Ahadi interrupted, slightly angered now that a young lioness like Fedha had enough nerve to contradict him. "But they have earned the right to hunt!" "If you would only give me a chance!" Fedha cried, now frustrated that her King was so stubborn, like her. "Well, perhaps..." Ahadi said thoughtfully. Fedha's ears perked up. Maybe she had worn him down... "I will call a meeting to order. If the lionesses say that you may hunt with them, or that you may prove that you can hunt, then I will consider it. If not, you will stay behind." And at that, he stormed off. She smiled. If the lionesses got to choose, she would surely be able to hunt! Ahadi stormed out, onto Pride Rock. He took a deep breath and roared, signaling a meeting would start immediately. Fedha was the first on in the den. Slowly others filtered in, all a little confused. They usually knew what a meeting was going to be about, but now they did not. Mufasa walked in and sat next to his father. Taka and Sarafina came in last, talking quietly. "We have gathered today because a member of this pride feels that they are not being treated equally. Would that member please step forward and explain their case?" The pride looked around, mumbling softly. Fedha stepped up. "Sire, I feel that I should be allowed to hunt. Just because I am different does not mean that I can't hunt! If only I could prove myself to you!" There was even more whispering. "What do the lions say?" Ahadi asked. "I say no." Sarafina stepped up. "Her abnormity is too much. Food is scarce as it is! We don't need her to drive our prey away!" "Exactly what I said!" Ahadi cried. "Anyone else?" "I think that she wouldn't be able to take any prey down, even in a group. She's too small." Taka said. He never took advantage of a chance to make Fedha feel bad. She creeped him out; she was always watching him. "I say no!" "Well, son, your opinion counts most. Now, the only opinion we need is Mufasa's." Ahadi looked at Mufasa. "Well?" "I think she should stay behind." He said, quietly. "So mote it be!" Ahadi cried, then roared. The rest of the lions, save Fedha, roared with him.
