Cypresspaw met her first friend in the cotton field, she was admiring in the soft cotton balls. She noticed that for the first time in all her small visits to the cotton field there was another cat there. The cat was a white with black splotches of orange and black. The cat was also admiring the cotton, Cypresspaw approached them she-cat and they talked for a while, finding out that they had similar interests. The cat’s name was Dawn, she is a loner from the cow field on the far side of the cotton field. Cypresspaw and Dawn became close friends and after a few moons Cypresspaw decided to introduce her friend to the clan.

Cat Name: Alexei Coppereyes

Gender: Tom
Rank: Templar
Age: 40 moons
Clan: Shadeclan

Ages ago, if someone had asked if the small Alexei Copper would have risen to the rank of a Templar, nearly everyone would have only scoffed at the idea. Back when he was younger he wasn't much of a cat to speak off. Even though he was nearing his rank as a sentry, he was still as frail as a newly made apprentice with the gracefulness of a duck. It wasn't hard to see that his life would be full of struggles until his death bed, and even his otherwise fair mentor had nearly given up on him. This of course weighed heavily on his shoulders and clouded his mind with darkness. He even started to believe all the snarky comments that others had ushered about him. At some point he even stopped praying to the gods. For a long time his life was like the sun covered by the darkness of the eclipse. But all eclipses pass the sun at some point. And it would not be any different in Alexei's case, either.

One particularly sunny day when Alexei happened upon the market to buy some stuff his mother needed for their next meal when he happened to bump, literally, to a white cat. Alexei frantically apologized to the smaller cat over and over so sure he was going to get his ears ripped off. But instead, his ears were met with loud laughter. And it wasn't even the evil kind of laugh that many had used to bully him, but light, pure laughter of joy. The laughter had been very contagious and soon both youngsters were laughing their lungs out. This was the first time in a long time that Alexei had really felt such joy. It barely took a moon for the two to become inseparable. There was nearly nothing that the duo wouldn't do together, and even when there was something that could separate the two, they always found a way back to each other.

With the bond he shared with Shura, the tom was able to find new strength within him. With few passing months the frail kit had turned into a fair-muscled cat with the strength of a boar. Many had speculated that the gods indeed had answered his prayers, but he insists that it was Shura who guided him to find enough strength to work for the life that he deserved to have.

Hopefully I'm not too late!

Cat Name: Milkmuzzle

Gender: tomcat
Rank: daylight warrior
Age: 12 moons
Clan: NocturneClan
Prompt:
The night never brought solace to Milk like it did to his siblings. When the sky grew dark, his litter would all huddle nice and comfy, together to sleep with their mother. They had a soft bed their people had bought for them, decorated with pink butterflies. He'd stare at them to distract him.

Then the lights would go out.

Milk has always heard how all cats were partially creatures of the night- with vision that saw better than others in thew dark. Still, the shadows hid secrets- he couldn't see into all of them, good vision or no. And it terrified him.

His people eventually caught on as he would cry nightly.They bought a butterfly shaped nightlight to go along with the bed- they liked things to match- and Milk was relieved.

Then, he was adopted to a new family. The nightlight came with him, a beacon of hope in his darkest hours- literally- and life went on well. Then the power outage- and the darkness, for it was night.

Milk hadn't been in complete dark for so long he panicked. Running outside through his cat door it realized it was far worse out there- and the panic grew and he senselessly ran for a distant speck of light, glittering across the street.

What greeted him was a small lantern, on top a lightpost. He huddled under it, shivering and nervously staring about him, not entirely sure what to do next. The light provided a tiny bit of comfort, but the shadows engulfed him on all sides now. It didn't help that it was snowing.

"What are you doing out here on a night like this?"

Milk nearly jumped out of his fur- the shadows had a voice! He looked up to see a face he recognized emerging from them, but didn't know a name to put to. She was another house cat from a few doors down.

"... I-I could ask you the same thing."

The cat was Cookie- or Cookieflight as the clan called her. She sat with him the whole night, in the cold, sharing thoughts and stories to chase the shadows away. In the morning he agreed to come and learn about her clan, and things have never been the same since. Although at night he still hides in his house from the dark, each morning he goes out into the world as a warrior- Milkmuzzle.

congrats! i really love this idea that cookieflight was milkmuzzle's "light in the darkness", it warms my heart!
