The Hunt

Just as Radish was going to pounce out into the open the sound of wings flapping could be heard, signaling the phoenix Falcon had fled. Radish waited a moment before lifting her head up and carefully prancing over to where the beast had been, Squirrelpuddle following suit. On the ground where the Falcon had been just moments before, were some of its spoils, a dead, half eaten Parahog and some herbs smashed in by its talons.

“Well this isn’t exactly what I was expecting but its good enough for me. Lets get out of here before it comes back.” Radishpounce said, going to grab the parahog in her mouth.

“Watch out!” Squirrelpuddle shouted suddenly, leaping forward and pushing Radish to the ground just as the Phoenix falcon swooped back in, its talons razor sharp barely grazing Squirrelpuddles back.

She quickly regained her center and swatted towards it, her claws swift and concise as she tore the large falcons wing. The falcon let out a cry and looked as if it as going to fall as it fled for real this time, into the forest. Squirrelpuddle wiped her paws off on the grass below her and turned towards Radishpounce who was picking the parahog off the ground once more.

“See, we totally had that.”

- -

The forest was pretty quiet on the way back, the two of them kept their heads low and their ears open as they traversed the path to the barrier. Squirrelpuddle would keep an eye out for anything useful while Radish carried the carcass to add to the fresh kill pile back at the clan.
All was fine and calm before a pair of unusually familiar eyes appeared in the underbrush in front of them.

Before they could even react, another rogue feline, a solid black tabby, came from behind and attacked Radishpounce, latching themselves on her and clawing at her fur. Squirrelpuddle was quick to react, running to toss herself into the fray. Swipes were met with blows and bites as the group got into a pretty heated fight on the path. “Who are you!?” Squirrel would ask, as the one who attacked radish moved to get beside the other rogue. This ones eyes were the same shade of black and blue as her own.

“Ianthe was right, you are feisty.” A glint sparked in her familiar eyes as she rushed Squirrelpuddle, her claws digging into her back.

“Radish, Run!” She would get out, before turning her attention to the one who came for her, kicking her off her form and into a tree nearby. The mysterious cat let out a chuckle but realized her mistake in underestimating Squirrel when she instead turned her attention to her friend, who was much weaker than she was.
“D!! You said you’d handle her!!” He panicked, trying to back up as he got a little too scared and unleashed something into Squirrelpuddle, sending her falling backwards.

“What the hell??” She winced, her ears ringing as her body ached from the impact of whatever that was. She could see the other cat with the familiar eyes had also been affected by this and was knocked unconscious by the blast. And before she could even begin to piece together what exactly had happened the black smoke from the blast pooled into them both and consumed them, causing her vision to go completely dark.



- -

Squirrelpuddle awoke in an unfamiliar place. The ground and the trees were sporting the same flora as she was used to but something about the area…seemed foreign. She went to stand up and caught a glimpse of another body near her, wincing in pain. She dug her claws into the ground and stoof herself up, moving towards the other cat.

“You…” She lifted her paw and was about to slam it down on her when she started to beg.

“No no no wait wait!! Please…wait!!” She winced, closing her eyes as she anticipated the blow. It never came.

“You’re lucky I‘m not allowed to hurt someone who can’t defend themselves.” Her voice was still laced with poison as she retracted her paw, turning to glance around at their surroundings.

“It wasn’t supposed to be like this. I just wanted a bit of fun” , she said, trying her best to stand up. She was never hit with magic like that before so she was still reeling.

“You mind telling me what the hell that was?” Squirrelpuddle shouted, her paw digging harder into the ground as she held herself back from attacking this cat again.

“Like what the hell. Ianthe…You said Ianthe sent you? That snake. I should have gone with them back to camp.” Squirrelpuddle continued, pacing as she tried to walk off the pain.
“I knew she wasn’t trustworthy. Something about her. Gods…I have to get back.”

“Hey, can you please shut up for one moment. I’m trying to figure out where we are.” The mysterious cat said, moving to lean up against a tree. “God that hurt…remind me to pay back H later”

Squirrelpuddle pretty much just ignored whatever she said and began walking down a path.

“Hey!! Hey wait, wait! Where are you going??” The mysterious cat shouted, quickly standing up and ignoring her pained wobbly legs to catch up to Squirrelpuddle.
“You can’t traverse here alone!”

Squirrelpuddle whipped around and stared daggers at her, her claws once again digging into the earth beneath her.

“If I were you, I'd continue to go sit and be useless. Unless you want to die, outsider.”

wanderer's breath coloured the air white as he set out this early morning, it may be leaf-bare but with the way the weather was cooling beyond normal, wanderer would bet his whiskers that another celestial sinkhole had just opened up nearby. Wincing, he hoped whatever may come out of it wouldn’t hinder his scout, if anything came out rather than fell in.

and she also got the sniffles! essie is sick & requires one of these herbs to heal: +1 holly berries, +1 mallow leaves, +1 tormentil or +1 deadly nightshade.

and her daughter still isn't feeling well either :c alida receives -10% health as her sickness is still unhealed!

it also looks like the previous rogues (not-trespassing) left and... returned? does the pair confront them or leave them be?

but at least she has soup <3 +1fp egg, +2fp dumpling, +1 mint, +1 goatweed

and a shiny coin: +1 common edit for completing wahoo's first task!

[notes: heya! welcome to explore <3 happy to have you!
feel free to ask any questions, we don't bite!
you currently have two free posts left

oh, and as a heads up, I wasn't able to
turn your prompts into XP just yet. this is because
for activities like prompts, quests, and events,
the XP needs to be tallied up and posted
by the host in order to count. that will be the post
you'll link back to when collecting XP here in explore!
for example, this is what a quest tally post
looks like. there haven't been any for prompts yet
(it's a very new mechanic), but i have it on
good authority that the first tally
will be soon!

edit: bees posted the tally shortly
after i posted this haha. link this post on your next explore
to claim your XP! ]
