Prompt:

Ask a hundred cats about what strength and you'll probably get a hundred different answers. They'll sound similar but to every cat, it means something different to them. And Aurora is no different.

To her, strength is the ability to move on despite everything that's happened or happening. Every cat has encountered disaster and problems in their lives that they have to get past. Whether its an injury or a death or a natural disaster, every cat in the clan is expected to do their duties. Their responsibilities to the clan don't just stop, just because their world has crashed down around them, they don't just go away.

But moving on is an inner strength that Aurora finds amazing and empowering. To continue to be themselves and continue their duties despite being torn apart or saddened by whats happened, is what Aurora calls strength.

Prompt:
(149)

She needed the strength to say no to this. The strength to leave. Live, and let live. Move on.

She stayed by the Tree to honor the memory of the child she left behind. The decay in his chest rattling his every breath, in his last moments.

As she sat under the tree's vast branches, she watched his breath leave his lungs.

She took great pride in guarding the energy of the great Tree. Drew power and courage from her duties.

But the one time she could not depend on the Tree to save her baby boy...

Was there any strength in seeing his little form, day in and day out, out of the corner of her eye?

She’s been here for centuries. Ananke's work is voluntary. The goddess is kind, but the memories...

Are crueler.

Could she push herself to leave? To finally live for her child's memory?

Prompt:
A symphony from the heart
A light in the darkness
It’s everything that makes the world beautiful
So simple
So sweet
So easy to forget
It can conquer anything
From a battle of blood and sweat
To the ones you can’t see
But is present in your heart
A aura of peace in the darkest hours
It’s hope in the hopelessness
A star in the night
The sole reason why we are united
Why we stand where we stand
It’s the voice that resonates in our hearts
That says to keep fighting
For the souls that are waiting
On the other side
A melody
An emotion
All of these words laced together as one
It’s a gentle reminder that even if the worst strikes
There’s always a chance
That no matter what happens
Love is always fighting for us

As I enjoyed your idea on the prompt, and how you related it to the overarching story (even if it wasnt a requirement); it really stuck out to me
