If the deputy is found worthy by their ancestors they will come back to the clan the next morning as the sun rises, no later or earlier.
  
• The leader oversees the clans, makes important decisions, calls meetings and presides over ceremonies.
  
• A leader receives something precious one their night of recognition. For cats it's nine lives and for dogs it's the gift of second chance.
