the Role of Leader
There was a storm in my area; a massive tempest, a roaring nightmare of water, wind and wave whipping wildly about! It naturally knocked most of my herdmembers from our island home, scattered them like dandelion seeds and ash.
So, then, what is the great warrior Arem to do now? Do I go hunting for the survivors, do I wait for them to return? What of the ones that don't -- Do I assume them dead, as they may assume me dead? I think I'll likely do both: I'll go and search and then return, perhaps in a sort of flower-like shaped to my path, each area searched another petal. This seems a fair enough plan, for now. As for those I cannot find, I will ask my herdmate Glacier to do some sort of brief ceremony or something -- It seems to be what he's good for, foreign poet-priest thing that he is. Eulogies and being completely and stubbornly faithful, that blind-hearted, foolish wiseman.
Could I have done better, as Chieftain? Well, much as it pains me, likely so: I could have acquired for our band a weather-watcher, who at least could have given us a better warning. I want to think that I could have done more, had I had more -- something. More training, perhaps. More foresight. How does one go about improving foresight?
... For all my skill, I worry I am not good enough. I am unacustomed to people relying on me -- Since nearly time immemorial it has been only my own self and I, struggling valiantly against the world. Still, what manner of warrior, chieftain, or stallion would I be if I could not lift up my head and rise to the challenge? I must have courage
