When coming across a dangerous hungry leopard, it was expected of one to either fight or flee. Ciara had different ideas about that. She had just prepared a canvas and her paints where she had a good view of the Kirika Lake and the giant golden clock in the center of it. While she was busy pulling out different oil paints that she had prepared beforehand when a leopard approached her. The leopard's jaws opened as he growled at Ciara.

Hunger drove the creature to find a meal out of this woman, as the poor creature hadn't been able to catch a meal for a while. She turned to her left and spotted the leopard inches away from her. Instead of fearing for her life, she summoned a steak and shoved it into the leopard's mouth. The leopard, surprised and still trying to understand what just happened, ate the steak and backed away from her. An idea popped into her mind and she rushed back over to the giant cat, who had just finished its meal, and shoved it near the lake. 

"Alright darling I need you to pose for me!" Ciara said to the leopard. 

Normally the leopard would have attacked her but seeing how she just shoved him near the lake and was oosing with magical fae power, he wisely decided against it. Instead he followed Ciara's directions and ended up posing gracefully in front of the lake with the giant golden clock. Satisfied with the pose, Ciara sat back in front of her canvas and began painting with her oil paints. She had to consider the texture of the lake and the fur on the cheetah while also keeping an eye on things like lighting and the structure of a leopard's body. It helped to have a life creature posing in front of her but she still had thousands of things to consider while she worked. All it took was one wrong stroke to destroy the entire painting. Hours passed and the leopard was restless. The poor thing did not sign up for this and the only thing that kept him there was fear. Finally, Ciara finished her painting. 

"It's done!" She declared with joy. 

The leopard fled the second it heard that good news. Meanwhile Ciara varnished her painting and then worked on the cleanup. Her painting displayed a leopard in the jungle in front of a gorgeous lake, looking up at the golden clock in the center of it all. The painting was expertly done and everything about it seemed to be done by a professional. Despite this hard work, Ciara still wanted to paint more. Her creative energies flowed through her brain and she needed to get it out, else she go insane. Her eyes darted about for a new subject to paint. 

The gods help whoever she found.
