The mist began to rise in a bright glowing forest. A strange shape emerged, long white hairs circling his head. A blueish grey pelt lay on the form of this male and his eyes held a livly glow. "Alia...." was all he called, waiting for the leopard to form before him.

Alia's current dream was interrupted, and she looked around in confusion. It was misty, but it was beginning to lift, and the leopard had to strain her eyes to make out the speaker. She padded forward, and paused when she saw the strange creature, she stopped.
For some reason she couldn't name, Alia felt respectful of the new animal. He spoke with authority, but with gentleness. Could it be Dio? Her mother always told her that Dio was in the form of a different creature. She opened her jaws to speak. "Are you -" |

Dio spoke, knowing the question she was about to make heard. "Yes, I be Dio, the Higher Power. How may you be, young Alia? Last I saw, you and Bhuvana have already met." he spoke with a smile gently on his face. He was calm creature, much different then in his younger years. But that calmness could change in a heartbeat, if one of his followers needed his immediate aid.

When the god answered Alia's question, she immediately bowed her head in respect. "I-I'm good." She answered, still in surprise that she was in his presence. "And yes, I've met Bhuvana." She added the last part to answer his last statement, though she was confused why she was mentioned.

"So you're ahead of the others." he stated as he too dipped his head. He may have been the God of these cats, but he respected them all the same. He could aid in their survival, but they had to fight for him to be able to even do that. "The reason I mention Bhuvana rather then Sheng or Alec, is you too have a similar fate." he paused, considering his words wisely. "Young Alia, my dearest leopard, you are a chosen one...a Peace Leader. You will lead both the cold and warm to victory." he hesitated, letting the female contemplate what he was saying. "Of course you can not do so on your own. Three others, Bhuvana included, have the highest potential and are catorgorized as Peace Leaders. So many believe in my ways, but the four I have chosen are the ones who I know will take a step further." he stopped at that, letting the female respond however way she wished. If she declined he'd be disapointed, but he'd respect her all the same.

Alia digested Dio's words, in muted delight. She was happy to be a chosen one, but at the same time she was thinking; why me? The leopard had been looking at her paws, but now she raised her head to look at Dio. "Who is this war against? The murder apes?" She asked, sure that was who Dio was refering to in a victory against.

Dio hesitated a moment, considering her question thoughtfully. "Murder Apes are only one of the dangers." he stated, a solemn look comeing down on his face. "Your fellow feline is a danger as well. Even when all share a mutual distaste for the Murder Apes, some believe their species is the only ones who deserve their freedom back." he stopped, reading the lone thought going through the females mind. "As to why it is you who has been chosen as one out of four, you have a strong, confident nature. Not to mention the fact you can motherly and quite a role model. Bhuvana has already considered you, in her mind of course, a sort of step-mother."

Alia nodded in understandment, and when Dio started to answer her thought, she was surprised. But then she remembered that he was a godly figure. After he finished, she felt her heart warm, especially towards the younger Bhuvana. She was quiet a moment, thinking over the traits Dio had told her she had. She smiled up at him, then waited for him to continue with whatever he had to say.

Reading no signs of objection on her mind or face, Dio decided it best to continue. "Now, you've met Bhuvana, correct? But you two alone can only do so much. I have long and hard for close to half a year now, and have decided I want all my Peace Leaders to atleased meet each other." he paused. "I hope you have no fear of other cats. There's a leopard Peace Leader, you. There's an Ocelot Peace Leader, Bhuvana. Then there's a Lion, whom is named Anabi, and a tiger named Taraji. At Moonhigh tomorrow evening, I would like all four of you to gather on the northern border of Akando Pride. I make it there because it will be difficult for Anabi to sneak away, and Ezhno would be quite suspicious if he scent leads off his lands alone." he explained thoughtfully. "I would greatly appreciate you and Bhuvana traveling together. Her being so young, it has been hard for me to protect her all these months on her own. I need to be able to focus on others and can only do so if I know she is being safely guided by another...." his eyes grew gentler. "Would you be willing to aid in her growing up, being the mother figure she has never had?"
OOC//: Just wanted to add his Alia being a mother figure to Bhuvana part because I already had Bhuvana sort of growing fond of the leopard, lol.

Alia listened respectfully while Dio explained his wishes. She shook her head, showing her understandment. She could find the Akando border and meet the other peace leaders. And Bhuvana? Well, the leopard was fond of the younger ocelot as well. She smiled at the thought, and she nodded again. "I would love to raise Bhuvana. I can't teach her the ways of the ocelot, but I can teach her about other useful things." Alia answered.

Dio shook his head, grateful for the leopards willing nature. "Very good." he looked over his shoulder as if his name had been called. When his orbs returned to meet the females his image was slowly fading and his eyes held a soft sorrow. "I must leave you now to continue your rest in ease. When you and Bhuvana meet the others, your paths will unfold themselves. Good luck." He had no choice but to vanish then. Even being the god over all, he had rules to abide by.

Alia watched in awe as Dio said his last words and his farewell. After he had disappeared from sight, the leopard stood still for a moment, thinking over their conversation, and finally, Bhuvana. A smile crawled across her maw, thinking of the younger cat. Then as the dream came to an end, the scene faded to darkness, and Alia was thrust into an otherwise dreamless night of sleep.
