Intent:
-To follow in the footsteps of his father, Neptune, and become Clan Leader, although slightly against his will
-To be relieved that Neptune is completely fine and not dead and hooray as he says he'll train Nils to become a better leader.. also, he's not in charge of war anymore! Hooray! (Nils never liked that unnecessary bloodshed anyway..)
-To - just, stop s-stuttering every time he speaks to someone in as high as a position as he is... really, he should act more noble and less.. awkward in front of other Clan leaders!

Biography:
When Nils' father, Neptune, joined the Clan, he was known as Nils himself. However, Nils decided to change his name and leave his past behind, becoming Neptune. Later, he had a nest of three and decided to name his last-born Nils.

Clan Law decrees that Nils is the rightful heir to his father Neptune, but the truth is that Nils doesn't want to be head of War. Influence led him to want to serve his Clan somehow, but the Spiral doesn't think that fighting is the right thing for him. His next big obstacle is telling his father his true feelings about war.

Following Neptune's nearly fatal injury caused by the infamous Aneira, Nils stepped up as acting leader for his father. After months of recovery Neptune soon healed enough to return to his duties as leader, but offered his son the position of Head of Strategy, which Nils tentatively yet gratefully accepted.

Of course, it wasn't all fun and games for everyone. Tensions were rising among the Windflight Council as they ended up catching word of the death of Spike. Neptune was already in a bad state, but he now resorted to blaming himself for the casualties. Stealth often unsympathetically threw rude comments at the Skydancer, going behind others' backs to call him a bad planner.
The next day, as Wrendal settled into Windflight Clan (Polar said he could stay at Diamond's house for now), Nils had gone to visit Neptune at the Healer's.
"Nils, I haven't spoken to a soul about this. But Stealth is right. I think it's time I stepped down as Leader."
"Nonsense. If there's anything I've learned from you, Neptune, it's that grave mistakes will be made. Stonehall wouldn't want this, if she were here."
"I killed her."
"Stealth did. And I hear how he's been bad-mouthing you. It's bad sportsdragonship."
"I killed Spike, too. If only I had been more organized."
"There's no good in wishing the past was different. It won't be the same without Spike, but now, we need to focus on recovering and restoring the Clan. It needs all of us in good shape."
"I taught you well, didn't I, son?"
"Both you and I. But listen to me. Please don't step down. It will tarnish your name as well."
"I've already considered my successor. I think you'll like who I picked."
"...well, I can't fully change your mind, dad, but please, give it a thought. This is an important decision."
"Never did I think I'd see the day where my son had the courage to boss me around." Neptune grinned.
