[atrb=background,http://i52.tinypic.com/bimrme.png] "What's your problem?" She spat in his face. The hyena smirked, and shook the saliva off. He advanced on her, his teeth showing. She held her ground, despite the fact that he was much older than she was and, though the clan was matriarchal, it was universally allowed for anyone to beat on her. "You, Shenzi. You are my problem. You and your homosexual ways.

[/b]" He snarled in disgust. "You are an abomination." The female still held her ground, though she offered to act of hostility in return. She had learned much from these beatings, and was confident that he wouldn't hurt her as much as he hoped. But he caught her off guard with his next statement. "The others think you can change, that you can be taught that your way is wrong. But I don't." He snickered. "No. The only way to fix your problem is to kill you." Her eyes opened wide in horror as he made three swift movements and the ground beneath her rumbled.[/i]

Shenzi nearly bit through her tongue trying to suppress the memory. "Ouch." She muttered, shaking her head. She blinked, returning to reality for the first time in ten minutes. She lay out on her side in the shade beneath one of the few trees that had managed to take root on the plateau, dozing in the heat of the midday sun. Unfortunately, her shade had slithered away as the sun moved across the sky, leaving her legs and stomach exposed to the hot rays. With a sigh she rolled to her feet, standing and shaking the dirt from her coat. Her memories had always plagued her, usually in her sleep as nightmares, but recently had started to grow in frequency as well as intensity. Without a sound she picked up a smooth trot, heading across the flat expanse of the place. Perhaps it had something to do with her new role as Matriarch of the Hyena clan. Or maybe her mind was finally unraveling. She grunted.

The spotted hyena approached, after a good while of travel, another tree, similar in looks to the one she had previously been laying under. The only difference was that this one had little to no grass around its base, and the dirt was packed down hard from multitudes of paws treading upon it. It was the gathering place for the clan. Yet, it was always bare. Even when the clan came to a meeting, there was nothing but the tree and the paw-prints in the dirt. Shenzi lifted her forepaw, holding it at a precise angle, and dipped her head. Stamping her paw down, she threw her head back and the rock before her rumbled for a brief moment before erupting into a large tunnel that led under the earth. She moved into it and descended a few feet before stomping a back foot to close the entrance.

Hyenas have excellent night vision, which enables them to see rather well even in complete darkness such as this, so maneuvering further down the tunnel was no problem. After several hundred feet the tunnel opened into a wide chamber with a high ceiling. Here the scent of the clan was the strongest. Two clan members lay side by side, muttering quietly. They looked up when Shenzi entered, and offered a dip of their heads in respect. The matriarch shook her head in disapproval, and padded up to them. "Just because I am your matriarch, doesn't mean I am not your equal. I deserve only the respect I give, and nothing more." They nodded, each bearing a smile.

"Would you care to join us?" One asked, using his head to motion for her to sit down. She nodded. "We were just speculating the reason behind your reign as matriarch. Care to enlighten us as to the specifics?" He grinned good-naturedly, and Shenzi returned the favor.

"I hope to give my clan the freedom that was denied me my entire life." She explained calmly. "The freedom to exist as you see fit, and without the opinions of others forced upon you." She bobbed her head, blinking away the beginning of another memory. "As long as that existence does not threaten the clan." Such cryptic words from a usually straightforward creature. She wasn't sure why she felt she had to choose her words carefully. For a moment, she believed that they wouldn't understand what she truly meant. Her gaze searched their faces, but she saw understanding in their expressions.

"It isn't that you wish to limit how one wishes to live but, rather, that you set certain parameters for the safety of the individual as well as the clan." The first member stated, as though he had been given a cue to do so. The second piped up after a moment. "One deemed too great a threat to themselves or the clan will be put down. But only if beyond hope." Shenzi was amazed at her clan's understanding of her confusing logic. She was proud, nonetheless, and couldn't help but smile broadly at the two of them. It was then that another hyena entered the main chamber. One that carried with it an air of defiance. The three turned their gaze to the newcomer, and Shenzi's eyes narrowed in suspicion. She rose to her feet.

"Spreading more of your hippie bullshit, Shenzi?" The female spat. She tittered at her matriarch as though she was a newborn being taught right from wrong. "You should know better. You don't want to allow your clan freedom. You want to make sure that they conform to your standards." A wicked grin spread across her muzzle as she awaited Shenzi's response.

"And you are entitled to think that way." The matriarch replied calmly. "You are allowed to think however you wish until it brings harm upon the clan." Shenzi watched with satisfaction as she saw the foiled expression on the antagonist's face. The hyena hesitated, looking caught between surprise and embarrassment, then turned to leave, grumbling to herself. The matriarch turned and said a polite farewell to the two clan members she had conversed with, and padded down one of the many forking tunnels toward her private quarters. "Until it brings harm upon the clan..." She muttered under her breath.
