“… that’s cool but that doesn’t tell us what that is… but I like rewards! See my favorite things when I get a reward are trinkets for my trinket stash!” Badgerhop laughed before eagerly beginning to spin around in excitement. She stopped when she realized what this meant. “Oh come on we were about to go back home too! Oh well I suppose we can stay out a bit longer!” The other two just shrugged before Goatstride and Badgerhop looked to Dragonfruit to see what to do next.

“We’ve been tasked to do something and we will complete it whether we like it or not. Now, we will continue. Our final areas we have to check our borders are in the mountain ridges. Thankfully the weather is warm so hopefully a lot of the snow and ice have melted and the journey won’t be so rough.” They spoke up. With a motion of their wings, he began to pad away with the other two right behind them. The terrain was becoming more rocky as they began to hike up the foothills in front of the mountains. The higher they went up the more weary they became. Up here larger predators we’re known to roam around. It would be a great day if they could get by without seeing any. A few more minutes and after scanning the area, things seemed okay. The three smiled before beginning to head back down. That was before raced over and attacked Goatstride. Dragonfruit spread their wings out and Badgerhop got in a battle stance but they stopped and groaned in annoyance upon seeing it was just Piketail.

“You kidding me Piketail?! Why did you jump out like that?!” Dragonfruit snarled and stomped over to the new cat dragging him away. He was giggling and let out a little ‘oof’ when he was dropped on the ground.

“Sorry! Thought you were a cougar but then again you were the only one I could see and I doubt any big mean scary animal would be pink like you are. I missed and accidentally landed on Goat boy here. Well since I’m here, I was sent on a different patrol and I think… well Salmonhiss and Firestrike were also with me. I am not sure exactly where they went though… that’s probably not a good thing.” Piketail nervously looked around. Yeah he lost the two. Great.

“Salmonhiss? Ooo my sister is out here! Yeah that’s probably not good if she’s missing.”

“Missing? I’m right here and so is this mousebrain! He ran off to go catch a mouse and tripped over a tree root!” A new voice grumbled. The group looked over and saw the other two cats emerge. Though all was well and Badgerhop and Salmonhiss greeted each other with a headbutt. They laughed and began to chat. Though the cats not talking all nervously looked at the father and son pair who just glared at each other. No greetings at all.

“Well… we were going to return soon buuuuut something came up. Firestrike can you and the others bring a message back to Ramstar we got something else to do out here? It’s not a danger at all. It’s a long story too.” Goatstride spoke up to the tensed up ruddy male. All he got in response was a nod and he began to walk away. “Well goodbye to you too!”

Salmonhiss looked to the side seeing the tom walk away and sighed. “Guess it’s time to go. See you back at camp sis! Piketail you coming?”

Piketail thought for a second before shaking his head no. “I’m gonna stick with these guys. I wanna spent more time out here. Tell Ramstar I’ll be back later. Don’t get lost you two!”

The two groups parted ways with a new cat now with them. “Right, back where we left off. We were going to head down the mountain but I think it’s a good time for us to do a double check of this area. We clearly didn’t get everything well enough if Piketail snuck up on us so easily. Back down we go and we’ll circle back up! Back down that way, the way those two didn’t go down.”

|Viper Smiled at lucid , Viper was fond of lucid and his weariness in the dark of the valley's forest , they were on a solo-ish patrol to check on the Crystal covin recently their had been some commotion on something blocking it , or ' someone ' blocking the entrance Viper wasn't sure what it could be but he wasn't very excited to try and fix the problem..Lucid looked to viper with a confused expression before speaking |

| ' What do you think it's going to be.. ? ' | Viper gave a slight flick of the tail knowing he didnt have any good answer... | ' Perhap's just some loose croak's sounding bigger and badder then they really are...perhap's ? ' | Lucid noticed Viper's unknowing cracking through his speech..he pinned his ear's back anxious knowing what really could be blocking the entrance .. |

| Viper crouched down the brush bristling his fur as he slinked through the brush and branch's sticking out of the brushes...he made sure to try and speak enough for lucid and himself knowing how..silent lucid could be..He was about to speak before abruptly being interrupted by a loud snapping of some twig his fur spiked up as he turned around to see lucid turned around stiff in fear... |

| Viper gave Lucid a slightly worried expression before speaking faintly | ' ... was that you ? ' | lucid shook his head as he look behind him his tail close to the ground as he quickly scrambled over to Viper keeping close | ' .. Maybe we should ignore it ...you know..like we always do ' | Viper nodded quickly as he started to almost sprint out of the dark brush as Lucid kept up with viper hasilty making their way to the Crystal Covin... |

| Viper and Lucid had made their way to the crystal covin area without any other disturbances...they came to the entrance that led to the inside of the crystal covin...only waiting to see what could be making everyone so fearful of going inside.... |

The grass was damp with morning dew as Scrunch set out, following the familiar smell of her seeing-eye crow. She scarcely needed him in her own territory, but today she planned on venturing further than before and would need him to guide her.

She paused a moment, front paw still raised in anticipation of her next step, to sniff the fresh greenleaf air. The season had only just begun but being a seasoned old cat, Scrunch could already tell it would be a warm one. She continued on her way with a hopeful feeling of the day to come.

His pawsteps faltered, a wavering dance upon the cool, muted tones of the forest, but his grin remained slotted in-place. Steady and unwavering like the sweet pines rooted in the earth.

Even in her wildest dreams, she couldn’t envision a world without him. Her dearest, most supportive friend ━ teasing grin and sun-kissed smiles. She dodged to the side, eluding his careening attempt at ramming her chest.

“Missed!” Head canted, she slipped underneath the swinging bough of a pine, the sweet-scented needles teasing into her curls. Her tail twined with the branch, gently easing it down. “You’re getting predictable, you know.”

He frowned, pawsteps meandering as he slunk into a crouch. “Predictable? Well, we’ll see about━”

She released the branch.

Sunlit dew splashed, catapulted from the evergreen, greeting her target with a wet, slobbery kiss. Needles spiralled, along with a few stray leaflets, accentuated by the afternoon glow. (+1 thyme, +1 wintergreen)

“Gotcha!” She smothered a grin as he reeled back, shaking himself off… no-doubt muttering a flurry of not-so-nice words under his breath.

But then, he froze.

The cheer from his features drained, stolen by the sweep of turning shadows. Almost imperceptible, his jaw tightened, shoulders assuming something more solemn as his gaze turned outwards.

Outwards and towards another lofty pine. Scarlet streaked the evergreen, pine needles poised and dipped with russet and copper hues. Underneath its broken arms, a trio of soft-footed creatures rested, already locked in eternal slumber. Corroded with rust fissures, a chain slithered from the nearest branch, softly clinking, shimmering in the shadows. (+4FP rabbit, +4FP rabbit, +2FP shrew)

A wild dog’s chain.

If the angels poured out a bottle of love position over the skies, she was witnessing it now.

Rose blush kissed the faint feather-like wisps swathed in a haze of indigos and lavenders. To the melody of a faraway windchime, daylight rose on wings, cascading like a fountain of gold dust, rushing over and through the skies. And tethered with the delicate fragrance of the amaryllis, it was perfect. A spell-binding enchantment that… made her forget.

At least for a time.

A familiar weight gently slid across her chest and shoulders. With a tiny bop of his head to her nose, Tobi pulled her attention to him, tongue slipping in and out. Almost… excited?

Gold and copper scales shimmering under the sun’s glow, he raised a bunched up tail to her.

Like the flutter of a tiny butterfly, a gold flower awaited her, lingering with a faint, vanilla scent. With a smile, she reached for the flower, but something… twitched. Once, then twice. Thrice. (+1 broom)

The petals parted. From within, a tiny critter poked its snout out, antennae lifting in a slight wave.
An… unintended gift, perhaps. (+1FP bugs)

Reeling back in surprise, Mochi giggled softly at the new found friend. She hummed softly to herself, trying to carry on the soft hues of the sky and gentle song of the forest. This part of the morning is what she loves the most, the gentle caress of the pastel colors against the barely formed wispy clouds. The feline took a moment longer to fully absorb the perfection she saw painted in the sky. The sky painted her direction; east, along with the knowledge that it was going to be a good day.

On she went, elegance exuding from her as her long coat moved in tandem with the gentleness of the morning breeze. Moments like these are when Mochi enjoys grounding herself to the world around her. She focused her thoughts on her extremities and what they were in contact with. Beneath her paw pads she felt the dew conjured by the dawn. At the tips of her whiskers she felt the newness of the day, the vast amount of possibilities that this day could bring. Against her skin she felt the silkiness of her own fur as it was pushed forward slightly by the breath of the wind. As she went, her ears twitched at the sound of the rustling leaves far off in the distance. Tobi seemed to notice it due to the fact he slithered up her head and raised himself tall, flicking his tongue to taste the air.

Mochi stalled, pausing her light steps to focus on the crunching growing ever closer. Tobi began to hiss at the advancing noise. Even the feline began to tense, her body recoiling ever so slightly, the muscles in her haunches coiled like a taught spring. Bushes shuddered before parting to reveal a rather large tom-cat, his coat larger than her own and much more matted. Her ears pulled back in wariness as her eyes never broke contact with his own, but the tomcat didn’t seem to notice the tension as his tail raised in good nature.

The tom cat seemed friendly, or stupid, she couldn’t decipher which. He was rather large, larger than her and she was on the bigger end for she-cats. He almost resembled a lion, or at least what she was told one looked like. Except instead of being a soft golden like the enormous beings, his coat was a subtle cream overrun by a pretty shade of gray. His eyes captured her tho, large and vibrant in their shade of yellow. His sudden outburst startled her. “Hi!” the tom exclaimed.

“Hello..” Mochi drawled back, wariness even creeping into her tone.

“I’m Giovanni, or Gio for short for my friends. Or at least that’s what I’d ask them to call me if I had any that lasted long enough to get to the nickname stage!” The tom, whose face now had a name, chirped. His slim tail flicked excitedly. He looked like a kit on his first hunt.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Mochi. And this little guy right here is Tobiko.” Tobiko hissed in response to his name being mentioned at the newcomer. His unwillingness to be cordial to newcomers was common, he was often skeptical much longer than his feline counterpart. Mochi began to relax a little, this giant airhead seemed to be innocent at the least. She sat down but did not curl her tail across her paws, leaving them free incase of an emergency escape.

“Oh woah, he’s so cool! May I touch him?” Giovanni went to step forward but Tobi beat him to it and bared his fangs in warning. “Nevermind then. Well, what are you doing? Where are you going?”

“Just out for a walk, no destination in mind.”

“Oh, then may I join you? You’re the first friendly cat I’ve seen!” Giovanni cocked his head, rounded ears drooping dumbly against the fluff of his face.

“Uh, yeah I guess so! Why’re you out here?” Mochi questioned, standing in preparation to continue her travels. Tobi relaxed a bit, resting his head on his companion’s but his slitted eyes never left the large tom. Giovanni responded, explaining with muted excitement how he ended up in this predicament and out here on his own. The two continued to chat, Giovanni’s kit-like behavior only adding to the youthfulness and genuinity of the morning. Mochi didn’t realize the third cat until much later. It had been lingering in the darkness, slinking along behind them in mastered silence. This cat being able to mask its presence was second-nature, a perfect assassin. Except, this cat has no malice in their movements, just pure mischief. “Shut up.” Mochi hissed lowly to the boisterous tom who quieted in response. “Show yourself,” She demanded.

The new cat chuckled softly and melted from the shadows into the light. “Hello there,” They purred teasingly, their slim tail waving softly behind them. Their voice was low and raspy, yet strangely elegant. The two other felines looked between themselves, confused as to when this cat had gotten here and why they were following them. “I heard you two tromping through the forest and decided to do a bit of eavesdropping. I was bored,” The way this cat explained themselves was so nonchalant it infuriated the tabby.

Mochi words had a hunt of a hiss to them as her tail lashed behind her. “How long were you following us? And why?”

“Now now dear, it wouldn’t be so fun to reveal all my secrets now would it?” The new cat hummed, their head tilting in subtle arrogance.

“Can you at least tell us your name?”

“That I can do. My name is Wren. I’ve been wandering out in these woods for quite some time now but only your strangle trio has caught my attention like this so far. I’d like to join you.” Wren answered, a sly grin gracing her muzzle.

“No.” Mochi answered simply.

“Well it doesn’t seem like you have a choice as you didn’t seem to notice me following you for the past few miles or so. I can join you guys whenever I feel like it and you wouldn’t know a thing!”

“Fine. But stop talking.” Mochi huffed before turning to continue off into the forest. Her new acquaintances; Giovanni and Wren followed along behind her as they continued on their adventure.

Younglings… always with that undying fire.

A flame kindled from the depths of their soul, vibrant and audacious, an inferno that morphed into… mischief. Mischief and that magical, limitless energy. One they swore made their bones creak ever-so slightly with each passing step.

Grumble smothered in their throat, they descended down the foothills. Their claws snared with the lush flora blooming under the bliss of early dew and spring rains, and they gently trudged down the tangle of leaflets to create a more… trodden path. Perhaps it’d help with encouraging more of those patrols━

Wait.
It was just them.
Descending the alpine foothills.

Alone.

"Badgerhop? Goatstride?" Their voice resonated, steady and deep, but it bounced back forlorn and weakened, a mocking imitation from those lofty peaks. "Piketail?"

Only the trill of a mockingbird answered their call, an afternoon serenade that bristled his curls.

Curse wavering on his jaws, they whirled around, clambering up the path once more. Petals and leaflets fell beneath their paws, slain as they shook their head, strides long and cutting. “If this is some prank━”

“Hey, Draco!” Cheeks flushed with a warm glow, a set of gentle sage eyes met theirs. Piketail. A tiny shrug rode along the little soul’s shoulders. “Oh uh, sorry if we worried you at all. But, well! Remember how I thought you were a cougar? Well, before that, I spotted something else! I just remembered and we… raided that hollow.”

In rhythm to his sweeping tail, another pair emerged from the cleft of a rock, thick as thieves and bounties in-tow. (+2FP finch, +2FP finch, +2FP finch, +1 bindweed, +1 dock, +1 poppy seeds, +1 foxglove seeds)

✦ MOONLIT VALLEY !!

xxxxx⊰ ziigglly ✦ clan archive ✦ last post ⊱

A dream realm unveiled before him.

A realm where neither starlight, nor daylight seemed to matter. Because here, colors unfurled like floral petals dressed in a daydream, delicate and deadly, poised from calloused cobblestone and the arch of the cavern. Lavender, mauve and rose blush lights illuminated the stone chamber, lost in an ethereal dance within the prisms.

His paw grazed the nearest crystal, spiralling from a crack in the earth.

At his touch, the prism glowed. The gentle cerulean light kissed his cheeks, rising to the surface as if a will-o-wisp cursed to dance within the prism’s glassy frame, eternally locked behind crystalline bars. His breath mistened the surface of the crystal, gently dimming, blurring, the luminous light.

“Viper?” Quiet and resonant, a voice tugged him, grounding him. “I think I found the thing that snapped something earlier ━ over there.”

Underneath a dripping stalactite, a fallen creature armoured with leather. A little soldier slained by a crystalline blade, whose own wooden sword lay broken, destroyed in battle. And now the plunder was his. His and… Lucid’s. (+3FP brute hof, +1 stick, +1 burdock root, +1 juniper berries)

delta gardens.

the archive. [🌼] no former exploration.

[ lv. zero | exp. 0 | 520 words | opt-in y/n ]

dawn came sooner than sagestar had hoped it would.

he rolled over, limbs and tail unfurling from his formerly curled position and mouth gaping in a massive yawn. sunlight spilled over the den in silken sheets, bathing the cinnamon-coated cat in the pale morning light. his tail tip tapped the nest as he blinked once, twice, three times, and welcomed the morning.

they had slept late, staying up hours later than they should have and conversing in hushed tones with their auxiliary and longtime friend, peppertail. the other tom was good company, and the two never failed to have fulfilling conversation even after all these moons together- though sagestar himself was rather quiet, peppertail could fill the silence. sagestar was proud of the community they had built together, and warm thoughts of both peppertail and the delta gardens colony itself filled his mind as he hazily accepted consciousness.

claws flexing, sagestar pushed himself up to his paws and heaved a melodramatic sigh at the prospect of leaving his warm, cozy nest. unfortunately, there was much to do, and the captain was nothing if not responsible. shaking out his pelt and neatly stepping out from the mossy nest, the tom slunk out of his den, pushing past the lichen that draped across the entrance.

the camp was busy, as expected, albeit sleepy as everyone began to greet the sun. across the way, perched upon a column of rubble, sagestar spotted peppertail assigning patrols. pride in his friend swelled in the cat's heart. he padded across the clearing, waving his tail and meowing his greetings to the cats he passed by.

"i'm surprised you're already this lively," peppertail mused, attention immediately snapping to the captain as they approached. sagestar quietly sat back on his haunches and chuffed, looking up at the tom.

"i could say the same about you. but you and i both know there's plenty to get done today. the colony has nearly--"

"doubled in size from two moons ago, and we need to secure the territory, yes, i know," peppertail interjected, waving a paw before he dismissed the cats nearby and hopped down to stand eye-level with his captain. "we'll handle it. you and i. we can establish some better borders and really get this clan together. no stress."

"colony," sagestar corrected.

"colony," peppertail agreed, touching his nose to sagestar's ear in proper greeting.

he wasn't the only one excited to see the captain. a caw from above caused peppertail's ears to twitch, and both toms turned their gazes upwards to the raven as it descended on the cats. though others may mistake the bird for prey, the raven was not food nor a threat. he was a friend- sagestar's closest companion... aside from peppertail. sunshine was what the bird was called, sunny for short, and sagestar was rarely seen without him. the bird perched upon the captain's shoulder, feathers ruffled from the early morning flight.

"seems we're all ready, then," peppertail meowed, shooting the bird an inscrutable look. sagestar turned, seemingly oblivious to his auxiliary's irritation as he offered naught in response but a nod.

"let's head out."
