Story 1 - Before Capture:
Piranha's speckled fur rippled slightly as she padded along the riverbank. She had been sent out earlier, before the time of Orange Skies, to check on the far east border. All was well, which would hopefully make Parrot happy.
Pushing past the entrance barrier in the secret spot only Jungle Talon's knew about, the moment Piranha entered camp, she was greeted by an energetic young tom-cat "Toucan!" she cried, laughing slightly as her Sapling bombarded her with purrs "Get down!" reluctantly, the spotted cat backed down, but he continued radiating energy "But I was so worried about you!" he cried "My mom said she sent you to check on the FAR east border, that's like...SUPER FAR away, PLUS it's the border with the OCELOTS!!"
Piranha rolled her eyes "You know we are currently at peace with the Ocelots, they wouldn't have dared attacked me" she gave him a sly smirk "Besides, I'm one of the best Tree-Striker in the Talons, they wouldn't have been able to lay a paw on me before I was in the canopy."
Toucan's ears drooped "But...but you still could have been" he said softly.
Piranha sighed. Parrot's son was a rather difficult Sapling, he could go from being overly excited, to mopey and sad in less than half a heart-beat. Which, in her eyes, only helped further tie him to his mother, who was the same way.
"Piranha" Speak of the Tiger, and they shall appear she thought wryly "Coming Chieftess" she said, before lowering her nose to nudge Toucan's face "Hey, look at me" as he raised tearful blue eyes up at her she said "I'm sorry you worried, but I'm back now, and next time, I'll ask your mother if you can come with me, alright?" Toucan brightened slightly "Could you take me to the Jaguar border?" She gave him a stern look, and he wilted again "I will take you wherever your mother lets me" she said, knowing it was the way of the Talons to ask a mother if you could take her child somewhere before you did, thankfully it was only for Saplings and Sprouts, other wise there would be Tree-Strikers not able to go anywhere. "Alright" Toucan relented. Piranha nodded, then slipped past him, heading for where Parrot stood outside her den.
"Piranha of the Fish Clan, report" Piranha nodded, and began to speak "The Far east border is secure, Ocelot scents are weaker than usual, but that is to be expected, as this is the time of year the fish are most abundant in their lakes" Parrot relaxed "Very well, you are dismissed, Piranha of the Fish" Piranha bowed her head "Thank you, Parrot of the Bird Clan" before turning and padding away.
Jerking to a stop as three kits hurtled past her, she stepped a paw down on one's tail, causing it to stop, so that she could see it was Turtle, of the Reptile Clan. Which meant the other two were Snake, and Iguana, Crocodile's kits. "Where are you all going in such a rush?" Turtle grinned up at her "Ripple of the Fish Clan is telling stories! We wanna hear about the Family Clans! So lemmie go" he strained forwards, and Piranha lifted a paw with a smile, purring as the kit catapulted forwards, before following them, at a much slower pace.
Arriving at the Ancient Corner, a spot where the elderly lived, Piranha settled herself down to listen, as Ripple, an elderly dark blue she-cat, began to speak.
"Back when the Talons were first founded, the cats lived in chaos. There were no family clans, and cats mated with whom they pleased, without seeking the leaders approval." the kits all gasped in horror, and Piranha couldn't help but shudder "Even the Shaman?" Snake cried, eyes wide with terror. Ripple nodded slowly "That's right Snake, even the Shaman became with kit" her eyes twinkled "But then, a savior came. Flame, the first of the Dragon Clan" the kit's immediately ceased shaking with fear, and leaned forwards eagerly.
"Flame was a strong cat, he became leader, and gave us the world we know, dividing cats into four Major Tribes, these are the Tribe of Fire, known for their ferocity, the Tribe of Grass, known for their stealth, the Tribe of Air, known for their speed, and the Tribe of Water, known for their swimming"
Ripple smiled slightly "Then, Flame distinguished the Tribes further, into the Animal Family Clans, Fire was divided into Panther, the ones who prefer open combat, and Leopard, the ones who prefer attack from the shadows"
Iguana shuddered, her small tail poofing out "I wouldn't want to fight Leopard Clan" she whimpered, and Ripple nodded at her "Quite right young one, Leopard Clan are the fiercest of the Tribe of Fire. At least Panther Clan will challenge you before battle." she shifted slightly in her nest "Now, where was I? Ah, yes. The Tribe of Grass became separated into the Clans of Reptile, and Amphibian, the Spies, and the Whisperers" "Hey!" Turtle said, ears perking "WE'RE Reptile Clan!" Ripple nodded "Correct, which means when you are grown, you will be Spies" Iguana grinned "Alright!" "Now let me continue" Ripple said, slightly sternly "The day grows old and we are only half-way done" the kits nodded and quieted down. "The Tribe of Air was separated into Bird, the ones who race through the land, and the Dragon. The Dragon Clan died out many seasons ago, but they say that before the Bird Clan took leader ship, it was the Dragons who ruled the jungles. And finally, the Tribe of Water was divided into the Clans of Fish and Waves. These days, Fish Clan, those who are excellent swimmers, but also rather good climbers, are dominant, but there are a few Wave Clan cats, and soon, more cats may be born who can swim faster than crocodiles."
Ripple yawned slightly, before continuing "And then, Flame decreed that Tribes could only mate with cats from their Tribe, a Reptile Clan cat can have mates with an Amphibian Clan cat, but if a Bird Clan cat wanted to have kits with a Fish Clan cat, the pairing would be forbidden. And to ensure these rules were kept, Flame decreed that if two cats wanted to become mates, they had to get approval from the Chief or Chieftess of the time. If the Chief forbade them and they had kits anyway, both cats, AND the kits, would be killed instantly. But if the Chief blessed the pairing, they would become mates, the she-cat would become a Leaf, give birth to her kits, or as we like to call them Sprouts, and once they became Saplings, then she could return to her duties. It is simply the cycle of life"
Ripple stretched out her forelegs "Now then young ones, go off and play your games. It's time for my nap. As the kits scurried away, Piranha rose to her paws "I had better get going on my duties" she said "But, thanks for the story." Ripple nodded "Of course, we all need to be reminded of our past now and then, for as long as we know it, we will not repeat it"
Story 1 End
Story 2 - Joining Rainclan:
Piranha's flanks heaved as she raced far from the hairless beings. She had finally managed to escape her silver locked den, and when the cave was opened by the hairless ones, she had bolted, managing to scratch them on her way out.
She didn't know how long she ran until she found the forest. The trees were not as tall as the ones back in the Talon's territory, but the scent of heavy rain seemed to draw her in. Collapsing to the ground under shelter of a large tree, Piranha finally let herself rest, gasping for air, until sleep, blessed sleep, finally came.
"I think she's still alive"
Piranha's ear twitched. The voice was slightly distorted, like it was coming from far away. She made a rumbling noise, a sort of cross between a growl and a grunt, before curling her tail around herself
"Yup, definitely alive" "I can see that Indigosplash"
The same voice, clearer now. And a new one, both female.
Silence, blissful silence. Piranha hoped the voices had left, until a paw jabbed her shoulder and she started awake. Two faces were staring down at her. A grinning white cat with small black spots, and a wary looking black cat with almost minuscule golden splashes in her fur.
"W..who?" Piranha rasped, wincing at her own voice
The smiling cat spoke first "I'm Indigosplash, and this is Onyxstone. We're Rainclan cats, who are you?" she spoke rapidly, and it took Piranha's dazed mind a moment to process everything. "I am Piranha, of the Fish Clan of the Water Tribe" she said her full name, since she didn't recognize the term 'Rainclan' which meant she must be in a different group's land. That was to be expected, what with the length of time it took for her to escape, but these looked like semi-normal cats, so hopefully that meant she wasn't TOO far from home "I am a Tree-Striker in the Talons, please, can you tell me how to get home?"
Indigosplash and Onyxstone exchanged a glance, and then it was Onyxstone who spoke "I'm afraid we've never heard of the Talons, or Tree-Strikers, or The Fish Clan of the Water Tribe" she shook her head "And I doubt Nightwing, Rainstar, or Orangeleaf know either"
"If they do, they sure haven't told us!" Indigosplash chirped. Piranha felt her ears lowering. She was definitely far from her home "Hey there, it's alright!" Indigosplash said "Hey, tell you what! We'll take you to Rainstar, and maybe she'll let you stay with us, until you find a way to get home?"
Piranha considered this for a moment. She was a Talon cat through and through, but she was far from the Talon's homeland...maybe it would be for the best to join this...Rainclan, if only for a while. She shouldn't be there too long....right?
