(A/N: Major interaction between Shenzi and Jeyluxhal is involved in this chapter as she's a lot more motherly towards him, but that's because think back to the song Take Me to Church by Hozier which tells the tale of worshiping your woman. This is what Jeyluxhal is doing to her right about now until one conversation that leads to something worse makes him into whom he is following this chapter. He feels like he has to repay her for rescuing him and in return for that he can stay here in the clan, but to Shenzi that's not exactly what she asks of him to do. How I portray her like this is simple: a matriarch who's focused on strengthening her clan for all males and Jeyluxhal is no different, he's willing to give her whatever she needs from him. That's all really and of course she acts like a mother figure to him when the time calls for it like the events that follow. Enjoy)
In the Elephant Graveyard where the hyena trio was walking about, Banzai who refused to be called a father to the young pup back then had been finding various ways to assure he's going to not drive himself to insanity from hunger: "Where's Jeyluxhal with that antelope dammit? He's been gone too long and at least Scar doesn't take his sweet time bringing us something we can eat for once!" He's on his final nerve right about now but Shenzi simply told him to shut up
"That's if we could kill the damn cub if his father wasn't around, he'll be coming back anytime now so shut it!" Shenzi told him off, referring to Scar as although he would be disappointed; at least they're his pals so he's merciful to them
"If he ain't back by the time the sun goes down then that antelope's not the only the thing I'll be eating tonight, you with me on this Ed?" Banzai declared and asked as Ed causally replied like always through laughing out of insanity, losing his mind from the hunger that'll drive him even more mad than he was
"Cannibal..." Shenzi muttered under her breath, that madness is going to kill him soon
As soon as the sound of pawsteps were heard approaching with the sound of a body dragging along they all looked up to see Jeyluxhal return, exerted but refusing to rest until he brought the antelope over to them; he had grown quite well in spite of living under Shenzi's lead and lifestyle of his adopted mother, looking more refined as well just like how his father looked when he was a young hyena back then. He left the antelope at Shenzi's hind paws as she was the one who rescued him from living out a life he wasn't supposed to live in, and he couldn't risk going back there as he wanted to stay with them; so the best way to do that was to make sure that she was as pleased with him as long as he could do it for her
"Now why don't I believe you've actually did it? Get over here and take the antelope with you, my stomach's hollow enough already as it is!" Banzai yelled at him as Ed did it for him thanks to Shenzi stopping him from following on his word, wiping a bit of blood from his lower lip before running over to join the others in indulging themselves in the food
Jeyluxhal was a well to half-brawn built hyena like his father whose coat of fur was a fawn to sand and biscotti tan, while his underbelly was a dark wood to coffee and tortilla brown. Not to mention his longer mane that was still curly edged was now a black color like the rest, but kept that mahogany to lipstick red tint that could be seen in the sunlight and it's rays; his eye marks were still an rounded edge triangle while his actual eyes were a brown color, having a yellow sclera like all hyenas have that was an trombone gold tint. His curly edged ears which both went off to the sides had two fiercely curved cobra fangs acting as earrings on the top to bottom, having dried blood with clear triangular shaped cuts that went slightly halfway down on both of his ears; while his snout had a few growing whisker spots like a wolf's and having a slightly bigger ebony black nose that was also one of his traits. His tail was mostly straight and had a few curved tips like an fleur-de-lis all the way down to the straight tip, having his paws and hind paws be a little thicker than normally as they're all dipped in black like the others in the process; though he had an few slicked and spiked up parts everywhere on his body so it's no wonder why he looks like his father. Taking after his adopted mother he had longer bangs on top of his head while having five to eight long to lightly curved tipped bangs, on the sides of his face with two on the right side of his eye and the rest on the left side. His ebony black spots were big and abundant but also had quite a history of dried bleeding scars to bitemarks, all resulting from his rivalry towards Banzai and the fights they get into. Finally, he carried on his infamous expression while his tongue was seen hanging out in front every now and then lightly; never talking but letting his actions do the talking for him, but it's clear that he's very cold blooded and barbarous behind that face of his thanks to Shenzi's influence to him as he slicked his mane back into it's smooth backwards combed position behind his bangs as that antelope was hell on his paws which also showed some dried blood on them. Oh and inside his ears were ribbed like a bat's just like his father Tabari since it was just a trait of theirs
"It's about time you returned because even Scar's quicker than you when it comes to hunting food as simple like this, so thanks for feeding us like you've been doing ever since you came here to the clan; now get out" Banzai's irritatingly thanked him but also insulted about him being slower than a lion
"Banzai over here threatened to eat you if you weren't back here by sunset" Shenzi told him as Jeyluxhal at least smiled and silently chuckled, giving him a expression that asked him if he was getting a little edgy there today like always and referring him to fella
This did not sit well with Banzai as he looked up and swallowed a little bit of antelope meat before he grabbed him by the back, not only smacking his snout but also punching him in the gut hard as Jeyluxhal collapsed to the ground; coughing as if he had just smoked some plants and tobacco substances combined which would have anyone wheezing, as Banzai walked and strafed around him. "How you'd like that you piece of horse dung, does that give you any idea how freaking on-the-edge I am?!" Banzai yelled at him as Jeyluxhal hung himself above the ground with both of his front and hind paws supporting him
"Hey, take it easy there Ed!" Banzai and Jeyluxhal looked over to see Shenzi stopping Ed from biting into a chunk of meat that he would obviously choke on, having spotted it by the time he was mentally asking if he was getting a little edgy like a fella before returning to yell at him again
"Get up, punk!" Jeyluxhal struggled to stand up from lifting his own body using his paws which were slipping on the ground, he managed to retain balance in standing up but was hunched over as he continued: "You paying attention? Good then listen to me: mute or not, you will never crack a joke at me again; you understand?!" He angrily shouted as Jeyluxhal was hoarsely breathing as he looked angrily at him, with a face that told him to calm the hell down otherwise the fire department's going to come and put him out; giving out a defiant grunt before closing his eyes
As he still breathed out from being punched in the gut hard by Banzai, Jeyluxhal's mouth had leaked some slobber down to the ground and left the area; not seeing his adopted mother's look of confusion and concern on her face directed towards his leaving self back to his spot where he always slept after hunting. It was usual for Jeyluxhal to do such thing but it looks like he's still got that misconception in his head and thinking he'll be chased out if he's not back with something he worked hard and risked his life to hunt out of wanting to feed the trio, mostly her since he's the only one who ever interacts the closest to her out of all of the three. She decided that she's going to have a little word with him later on about this
For Jeyluxhal this was the life as he's got his heated rivalry with Banzai and the only friend he had was Ed for as stupid as he can be, a simpleton like him can't help but agree with what's on his mind. He returned to his resting spot as he was still coughing like he got tuberculosis and lied down on the ground, he was sweating and drained from his exertion; all he could do now was sleep as nevermind how much he allowed his slobber to leak out around him, he's not in the slightest hungry like usual. Every animal he's hunted down from his claws and fangs were all given to the hyena trio as he didn't want his adopted mother to chase him out, acting like a servant to her who felt concerned whenever she got hurt and whenever she was threatened; a moment did not pass by at all when he would come to her side, either to stroke her wound or appear menacing in front of whoever threatened her right directly in her face. He's just doing what he'll do for assuring her happiness, worshiping a woman like her and loyalty to the end
To the other animals along with the hyenas in Shenzi's Clan this was thought and believed to be a misconception that he was her servant, and therefore hunted as well as gave her quite a few spoiled luxuries that no other one of them would give her just so he wouldn't be chased out and left to go back into scavenging on his own; however that is not the case as she didn't ask for him to treat himself like a servant. They're all on the same side right here and there's no true reason for Jeyluxhal to starve himself out of wanting to feed the trio so he's not out of the clan, that's something that must be put to a end right here and right now as Jeyluxhal doesn't look skeletal or anorexic; but that's because he takes little bites from his hunt every now and then to retain his strength as well as his growth so there's that. Nevertheless, he's grown well in spite of this handicap he's put on himself; out of not wanting to be judged by the other animals by being called a selfish, prideful as well as mindless to uncivilized poacher of the Pride Lands. He's done them no wrong and that's not a excuse to judge him like all the others, especially another of his own kind who was actually friendly as well as good-hearted; the same can't be said for him thanks to being a silent killer and all that jazz
With Jeyluxhal in spite of also being a cold blooded hyena with no words to come from out of his mouth being autistic, he had an learning disability which was shown at his resting spot; an few tablets of stone with a large one acting like a magnetic board for letters and numbers for him to place on, a few books to educate him and more. Flashcards on fallen leaves with paint for him to color in a flat piece of stone along with sculptures for him to fill in, a pad for him to write whatever was on his mind and a board with a white stone drawing cylinder for drawing; it was practically everything that told others that he had no one to look up to for teaching him what he didn't know by then. Educating himself every morning until he passed out when he's not hunting for the main trio, having nothing but the same toys that were forged from various materials like sticks to mud and weed along with cubed rocks; Shenzi knew about this as well as the fact that this was just a deceptive ruse. He was not stupid enough to not know that he's creating the image of a man whose lost someone he can't be with physically anymore, only in his dreams will he know his mother that throughout the time; he's left his previous life to be kept in the vault of his mind
A few days passed since then as Jeyluxhal returned back to his home as he brought the body of an helpless lion juvenile after quite the battle that was worth the bleeding from his scars, giving the remains over to the main trio before leaving; Shenzi looked him in the eyes as it's not like him to appear this damn angered and moody after returning back from his hunts, he picked a good but risky prey to bring back to them and even then he's just turning his back so they could eat in peace. Something that didn't sit well with her: "You went out of your way to actually kill an juvenile lion and bring it here for us to eat, and you're not joining in on that risk worth taking? At least eat a little more than usual because you've put a lot of effort in doing that" Shenzi pointed out as Banzai tore off a piece of the remains before calling him out on his impressive feat
"You're not making it easy for me to say I'm impressed with you Jeyluxhal, if I witnessed you killing an real adult for a challenge. I'm not impressed even if you do just that, but then again I'm a tough audience towards mute hyenas like you" Jeyluxhal shot out a bloody booger from his nose onto a piece of meat that Banzai was going to chew off, just as he concluded on why he ain't big on having a mute in the clan; however he was gone by that time
Banzai took a huge bite out of the juvenile lion because since when exactly was the last time they ate an animal like this? He failed to take caution of the fact that Jeyluxhal just poisoned him by spiking his food with a bloody booger that he shot out from his nose, so once he ate it the other two were laughing without concern; just as he began coughing and gagging after he ate the piece of meat from the remains. In fact this actually made him throw up which had Ed laughing and bursting out even worse than before, the hot tempered hyena was mad and in a fraction of an second he leaped towards to claw and bite him until he would shut the hell up; of course Shenzi stopped him at the last second before too much blood was drawn out of Ed, though that didn't stop him biting on his leg until he realized a little too late. It's normal for him since he did get stupider over the years
Banzai was slobbering with a death threat looming in his head and the next time he tries that he'll shove it down his throat, see how he likes it when he does that to him. In the meantime Shenzi followed her adopted son to an secluded area in the Elephant Graveyard that was one of the locations in his territory he claimed as his own. It was apart of his resting spot and with it being a walled off overhang bluff with two big holes in the corners of the wall that released some sunlight into the barren ledge, there was a murky pond along with a ribcage and a spine for him to surf off like an tree branch in the jungles of Africa; eventually finding him asleep in the bluffs by the time she found him and drooling on the ground already, it's not unusual for him to be doing that but it sure does dry up fast from his mouth with all these geyser vents spewing out
She approached his unconscious body and stopped when he heard him twitch slightly, he did indeed say something but it was too soft and silent for her to hear; though she could clear it out that he was aware of her presence by calling her his mother. Not taking any chances she lowered her head down to him and told him to meet her by the lake, she has a lesson to tell him about; one that'll clear his mind about taking orders from others but also influence him into becoming independent
The next thing that happened was Jeyluxhal was laying down by the lake with the face that told it all as he's just drowsy, though to those who thought otherwise believed he was more or less ashamed of something; looking humiliated in front of someone he wanted to appear more to their taste. That was when Shenzi silently approached his side and sat down near his body, not looking up to face his adopted mother who went to tell him what she's about to tell him; with a deep breath about what she had to say before she was prepared to tell him this: "You think that by starving yourself would keep me from chasing you out of the clan? A fool would've done the same if only it was that simple, they'd leave by the time they're adults even without me telling them to get lost. You on the other hand is a different story"
Jeyluxhal only looked down on the dried drool crusted ground as that always happened to a hyena like him, breathing out as he didn't look he's in no mood to listen to what anyone says to him. Though he was listening that's for sure since it's his mother talking, but it was about the expression on his face that told everyone that he longed for something that he can't put his mind on it; something that he hasn't thought about for a long time ago. Shenzi looked at his face and told him this
"I didn't ask for you to treat yourself like a servant to me, the three of us have four paws that aren't broken; but the three of us haven't forgotten how to hunt for ourselves. So there's no excuse in hell for you to treat yourself like our servant where at any given time the animals you put before yourself will start to take advantage of you for granted, especially myself with the others; even that's going too far for my standards, at least eat something to keep your strength up. Wherever you came from I'm sure your father and mother taught you that" She expressed her disappointment in him without sounding a little angry with him, but had she known about the incident that came awhile back she would've known that he's forgotten everything about what led him to this point in time
Jeyluxhal placed both of his paws down on his head as if it was hurting him, he didn't know his mother nor father. Had it been that long since she was ripped to pieces violently by the claws of that Outlander who calls himself Baridi, that long since he was kept hidden under the shadows while she sacrificed herself to save him? His memory was faint but to him it's what mattered the least to him. Shenzi could see it in his eyes that he had no knowledge about either his father or his mother, but then it came to her the reason why she took pity upon the hyena that was her adopted son
"The reason I took you in that day was-... actually, I don't even know why; but there was just something in my mind that told me you wanted revenge, something that told me you wanted to hunt whoever has wronged you and that's something I'm not stopping you from doing. If it was any lion out there who's done nothing but call us a bunch of slobbering poachers, what needs to be done is for you to decide. Just understand this one thing that I'm going to tell you should you leave one day" She couldn't exactly explain why she took him in but there is at least one thing that she can tell him if he chooses to leave by himself
Now this was one thing that had Jeyluxhal slowly perk up from his laying position as he got up and listened closely, while his adopted mother got down to his side and spoke into his left ear; telling him what every mother would say for their children if they treated themselves like this:
"Don't treat yourself like a servant to someone and take orders from them, I know you're better than that; from this point forward I want you to become defiant, resistant to whatever they'll be throwing at you and be determined on whatever you're going after. Most importantly: All I want you to do now is to think for once in your life about whatever is the best thing for you to do next, this is for you and you alone; no one else will tell you what you should do next and if they do so then give them the look in your eyes to bite you. Do you understand, Jeyluxhal?" Shenzi asked him as it looked like there was no response from him, that was until he fully stood up and turned to the other side; stroking her neck with his barbed tongue and nodding before leaving, giving her confirmation that he understood every word she told him before he left by himself
The female monarch of her clan that was aligned with Scar knew that although he would take her words to heart and had nothing more to fear from listening to what she has to tell him, he would still be self-conflicted because as of now he's not taking orders from anyone. Consider it one way or another, while he provided them the kind of luxury mostly to her since he calls her his mother; that's not stopping her from being concerned about the condition he was in. She left soon afterwards to return back to her own business but knew that what happened next was going to have her intervene in a fight
Jeyluxhal's conflict with himself grew worse but like his silenced voice he never showed it at all out to the others in the clan, he kept everything to himself since he's not trying to bother a single animal with his problems. He was just cleaning out Ed's ear while he lied down right by his side next to him, not making a single sound at all as he enjoyed this; now that's a kind of a great achievement for him to not laugh once in times like these. The two of each other were cleaning each other as mentioned before, Ed was really his only friend and like both Shenzi and Banzai he never considers him a idiot because he knows how to keep the score. As soon as he finished Ed started doing the same to him though he lapped his tongue against his face, judging from the times that Jeyluxhal passed out like about now one can assume that he's got some low blood pressure; makes a little bit of sense because of how his wounds from all kind of scufflings between him and Banzai. Speaking of the devil here he comes now as he started to insult him:
"This is the saddest relationship I ever seen between you and Ed, I never thought a hyena like you would harbor feelings towards him. Get a room for the both of you" Banzai teased him of his homosexuality which made Jeyluxhal stand up
He carried a look in his eyes that told him that he picked the wrong time to question him, not sparing his breath for a few words as he gave him the chance to walk off so he doesn't have to question his sexuality. It's just them cleaning each other but Banzai threw it away as he didn't stop insulting him further: "You're not walking away from me, there's something nice for you that I haven't done just yet; I'm willing to make up for the fighting and all kinds of crap in the past we can both leave behind"
Jeyluxhal walked off with the expression on his face that told him that whatever it was he is wanting to make up from him, he is not interested thanks to his newfound independence as it's him that's making the choices for what he does now and he's not taking orders to feed his ass. Banzai sought the opportunity to bait him further into the fight: "That's right go and leave because Scar knows how to look out for us like myself, he doesn't want to see your face when you're here. You wouldn't even make a good scavenger if the Pride Land's got no food left for us three, why else do you think we're going let the lions to the dirty work around here? They might as well cut off your ear because they don't like either of ours but mostly your face!" (A/N: Original and Uncut Arabian Knights lyrics from Aladdin, they can still be heard on the home video copies of the classic Robin Williams animated film)
Jeyluxhal returned in front of his face with the narrowed eye expression that stated that he does not want this fight from him: "Oh but I think I do want to start one" Banzai viciously told him before landing a claw swipe against the side of his face, Jeyluxhal silently growled at him to leave as he gave him one final warning. Banzai shook his head and snarled back at him: "No way in hell am I going to let you off the meat hook for poisoning me back there, this time I'm not making a joke about it after you turned me into one in front of the others!"
Banzai pounced onto him as he started to dig his fangs into his skin which sprayed some to an few droplets of blood on his face, tasted like copper to the tongue and if he drank more of his blood then he might as well get some blood poisoning from him; blame him in his final will in that matter. Jeyluxhal kicked him off before biting his snout and slammed him directly to the ground, ramming his head into his stomach and clawing across his chest until Banzai returned with a blow to his back along with multiple claw swipes and slashes towards his body. Ending it by biting him on the neck, though Jeyluxhal slammed him up against the wall and kicked his left face off to the side
Jeyluxhal had then jumped over to him so that he held him down to the ground, Banzai gave a wicked smile before turning to the tables on him; spitting in his right eye and proceeding to bite him in the nose. The former bit his ear and pulled him over to his side where he got back to the upperhand in their fight, pounding him to the floor with multiple poundings with both his paws. He then went on to maul him to the sides without giving the chance for him to start getting back up so he can fight back, going so far as to strangle him by the neck; to which he's forced into slapping him on the face on both sides until he launched him off. Coughing out a few droplets of blood before letting out a short but painful yelp, turning to face Jeyluxhal as he let out an vicious snarl against him
"I agreed for Shenzi to keep your ungrateful little ass and now I'm start kicking your ass eight times as harder than I'd do to Ed" Blood streamed down from Banzai's lower mouth just when another hyena walked by seeing the fight between them
"Everything alright here?" He asked as Jeyluxhal gave the expression that mocked the question he was asking, Banzai gave him a death glare and told him this
"Take him somewhere else where he can't bother her no more" He told him as the hyena speculated that Jeyluxhal was becoming obnoxious towards the leader of the clan before taking him by the front paws
"You heard our clan leader, she don't want to deal with you no more so let's go" The hyena told him as Jeyluxhal gave a calm warning expression that looked half-surprised, telling him to take his paws off him. The hyena grabbed him with both paws in response to that face of his: "Now!" the accomplice shouted
Jeyluxhal took the accomplice by the neck with his fangs and flipped him to the other side as he then running up against the wall, rapidly swiping his claws against his chest as Banzai took this chance to heavily dig his claws down his back; making him scream in pain before leaping over to finish him off. Scuffling once again as the accomplice got far away from him as soon as possible, the fight went nowhere to say the least because just as she knew; Shenzi had to get in there and stop the scuffling between the two of them as soon as possible. While the fights between Banzai and Ed were reasonable, Jeyluxhal was known to take things too far when it all focused on him
"Get the hell off of him!" Upon hearing her voice Jeyluxhal dodged and used Banzai to shield himself, he knows she was referring to him as they still looked out to each other like family; that did not stop him from attacking however
Shenzi took her comrade down with no problem but in Jeyluxhal's blind fury when she took him on by the shoulders from the back, he punched her across the face believing her to be a second accomplice who came to aid his opponent; all in a blinded rage that he had no control over as she was sent to the ground. The heavy weight of the earth slammed onto his chest as he stopped fighting altogether, hurting the same matriarch who took him in from the life of a despaired pup with no parents left and started the new one here with the trio. Banzai looked down on her to find a bruise forming from that punch of his, he might've been greedy but he couldn't risk losing her nor Ed for no matter how obnoxious he was; that angry face told him that he just earned himself a killing
Jeyluxhal watched her stand back up through narrowed eyes and a lowered head, focusing all attention on him as although she was not maliciously harmed by him on purpose; he still had that expression of regret drawn on his face, ending up hating what he did. She could see that he really wanted to say something but the damn words wouldn't come out of his mouth, one way or another all she really had to say to him was this: "Who the hell are you..." That was not a question but to Jeyluxhal it was, looking into his face that spelt it all out in front of her so it can be clear for her to read. Banzai dug his fangs from behind and tried to drag him away, but was elbowed in the snout
Not knowing who he was nor what he did Jeyluxhal ran off in the Elephant Graveyard, clearly he tried to show his defiance but he was too ignorant to know that he would do this to her; it was not his fault but he treated it like it was. She knew where he's going and thus, Shenzi got up fully before tailing him from behind without being spotted; using her prowling and stealth skills she started to adapt from him. Following him into a more secluded area away from the other males of the clan, she's not letting him run off from her like that
She found him walking through a canyon like area with an arch above his head as well as the wall that had a largely soaked splotch towards the ground that reflected himself like a mirror, it looked like he was moping about but as soon as he walked through; a little thought going in his mind was playing out as if it were a song aimed towards him in third person, but showed a point of view from his eyes occasionally. His voice was not built for singing but this was just a little tune going through his head, apparently he took her statement towards him like it was a and was having a hard time telling who he was within his soul:
(A/N: I asked someone which of the three songs: All I Ever Wanted from The Prince of Egypt, Reflection from Mulan and Jack's Lament from The Nightmare Before Christmas; would fit him the most and he chose the second one, being that he's more like that kind of person who doesn't know who he is and what he wants to be. So I decided to go with this one because I agree, he's not feeling well enough to start acting like the man he was supposed to be and it shows. By the way when it says "I" and "My" it's him mentally speaking while the rest of the song is in third person)
Look at him, he would never pass for a perfect son nor a perfect hunter
Could it be that he's not meant to play, this part? Now he sees, that if he were truly to be himself
He would only disappoint his mother
(Doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo)
Who is that man he sees, staring straight back at him
When will his reflection show, who he is inside?
(Next verse starts here)
He is now, in a world where he has to hide his heart and what he believes in
But somehow I will show the lands what's inside his heart, and be loved for who I am
(Da na na na na na, na na na)
Who is that man he sees, staring straight back at him? Why is his reflection someone he does not know?
Must he pretend that he is someone else for all time? When will his reflection show, who I am inside?
(Final verse starts here)
There's a heart that must be free to fly, that burns with a need to know the reason who he is!
Why must we all conceal what we think, and how we feel? Must there be a secret half he's forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm someone else, for all time. When will his reflection show, who he is inside?
When will my reflection show who I am inside...?
All throughout this mental tune that told Shenzi who was spying on him he didn't know who he is within himself, Jeyluxhal roamed about through the secluded area as he looked towards the wet splotch of water on the wall; coming over to see his younger self on the other side as he wiped away half of himself which showed his true self standing. Ashamed of himself he'd immediately turned away and his face before going off to the pond in front of his overhang as it was where he slept and where he wanted to be alone to himself
As the night had fallen on the Pride Lands, so did he as he just wanted some rest after this long evening; doing just that as he got up against the wall and laid himself down, still upset after assaulting the one figure he called a mother after Najira was taken away from him. Shenzi stealthily approached him as he slept before coming down to a point where he can feel her breath against his back, with a paw on his shoulder and her face near his before lapping his tongue multiple times on him; it was out of assurance that he's still one of her own, going on to tell him that what he thought was misheard and read
What she really meant by those words about not taking orders from anyone and to think for himself was supposed to make him decide what's best for himself, he doesn't have to do all this just for her alone. All of them are in the same clan and neither of them are mistreated by her, she is doing what she feels like her clan needs from a matriarch like herself. Afterwards, she lapped her tongue against his cheek one last time before leaving; assuring him that she'll be seeing him in the next morning
Jeyluxhal slept silently that night as he wasn't shaking but he still felt cold as if someone had been near him, telling him that everything was alright and he was still apart of this clan even if he assaulted her as it was all just blind fury. The next morning he would fully understand her words of wisdom and from that point forward, he will start becoming more what his mother wants him to be; all for the things of what he'd do for someone like a clan leader
