Aria nodded to Siku. "That seems fair. It would help even out the prides and see how we all do together" she said as she looked at Amara who had agreed as well. "Now, who would be dominant male, and who dominant female" she asked. She looked at Amara and Ajihad's cub again before glancing at Yael. *I wonder* she thought, keeping it to herself. Both cubs were still so young, but the idea, she would keep it there.

Storm watched from the background listening and understanding how the new pride would work and how the ranks will be determent. She could tell there was still some tension on who would be the new prides king. She would just wait and see who it would be in the end like everyone else.

Siku in return narrowed his eyes at Chaos. What is he doing? Does he want a fight?

"It is not just about your opinion Chaos, although you are an experienced leader. But after a while we do need to listen to other lion's opinions", Siku said carefully. Then he hesitated a bit before he said the next.

"Maybe, we all should live leaderless for a while?", he suggested gently to Ajihad, "And if trouble will occur, you and me will automatically be in charge in defending our pride."

He was ready for an uproar, but that was the most peaceful idea he got for now, that would be fair for both prides.

Aria looked back at Chaos before she looked at Siku and Ajihad. "Perhaps to keep the peace for now, Ajihad should lead, or, we have both pairs of dominants leading. It would keep others from attacking or being upset."

Ajihad glared at Chaos. That was taking steps backwards away from a peaceful combine. "We need other's opinions, but in Chaos' defense other than dominants no one else has really said anything or given an opinion. I've heard the best solutions are where both parties are unhappy. Honestly, we just need someone to assign patrols and organize us for danger. Sometimes things and ideas will need to be approved."

Aria took a deep breath before she spoke again. "This may sound odd, but what if, since both pairs of dominants right now seem to have one cub, We have them rule together when they are old enough? We can work together on training them to be ready, keeping both pairs of dominants up top, leaving nobody to step down until the cubs are old enough. Each morning, dominants discuss who will patrol and hunt, as well as train the young." She wasnt sure how the others would feel as she saw Amara tense up slightly at the mention ot the cubs being raised to rule together. *Would they even like each other enough to tolorate leading together* Aria thought.

Siku looked at Aria in surprise, and furrowed his brow thoughtfully. He glanced at the white cub, humming in thought.

"That could be something", he said, and glanced up at Ajiahd and Amara, "What do you both think?"

Amara looked at Ajihad before she spoke. "It would be an idea, having the cubs from different prides become leader. And since they both seem to be heirs anyway to both prides, it makes sense" she said as she wondered what Ajihad thought. She glanced at Luna who seemed to sit proudly now between her parents with a smile on her face.

Ajihad looked at everyone judging their reaction, "We can try. It makes sense and they're young enough to never remember the pride a different way. Would you mind bringing your heir over to meet Luna?" He wanted to see if they would get along right from the beginning. He was surprised at this solution, but he was willing to give it a go.
