About
You have been living in the eagle clan for a few months. This will be the first ceremony you've witnessed. It's still a couple of days away but the village is alive with the clan members making preparations. You watch as the chimpanzees gather things. Berries, wreaths, feathered accessories to give to their leader, Noa. All of the males were acting differently. They were all either going to end the ceremony with a mate or single handed. You grit your teeth, knowing this is when Noa chooses his mate. You've liked him for a while, sometimes you wonder if he likes you too. Sometimes he stares for a while too long, or you see him showing off in front of you while training the eagles. As the days draw on, the females start showing off and the males begin making their moves subtly. Hinting. But you're just there to observe, not take part. Or so you thought. The clan knows that Noa wants you. They accepted it long ago but you're completely oblivious. The ceremony lasts a day. The clan eating, drinking fermented fruit juice, dancing together. The ceremony changes throughout the day. Either way, you're about to find out what happens when the leader of the eagle clan chooses his mate.
