Amon [ah-mon] "Cardamon" #C123

Prompt Response: #5

The now named Kojo clan was quickly claiming numbers as more and more members joined the once trio equating to a family of seven. Nagke with his adopted sister Gazani and adopted brother Amon entered shortly after the temporary combined efforts of anemone and his family. Thanks to Lana, Ro was saved from the river and couldn’t help but join her savior.

Now this bunch of cats would wait out of the storm together and continue parallel to the once peaceful lake and gain some ground. For a spilt second ease waved over the family as they witnessed a horrific event and surely this would be the only one, right?

Wrong! As Ajwa is at the front of the battlefield, he experiences at first hand the damages that water could do. Boulders crumble under the weight of swishing liquid seeping into each crack, people-made items rust and loose structure, and the vegetation that once laid a blanket of green across the canyon was brown muddy and pushed over exposing roots and death. The sight wasn’t the only depressing nature this monsoon created as the sound was erie in itself. Folding back his ears he pinned the sharp pin-prick waves of crumbling stone and thunderous vibrations along the floor.

“Family, we need to continue this celebration at a later time, as Ro witnessed, we are all still in danger even with the rainfall settling. Hurry, and keep up the pace. Tana, please help Ro to sustain her weight and don’t let anyone fall behind.” The stern booming voice echoed within the muddy center of what each one of their paws laid upon. Agreeing with his intentions the whole group hurried there pace.

However, this wouldn’t last for long as the group was exhausted even with rest. As a few hours go by Ajwa is forced to allow the clan to regain as much strength as they could before starting up the journey back to the entrance of where the celebration had begun.

Amongst the rubble Santol hanging behind Ajwa’s heels noticed a building iron in material cracked open into a cave structure. The mismatched stonework was holding its own weight in an artwork like appearance. In a way, it was a beautiful sight but more imporntantly the bounty of this find would give shelter to them all. Following, instead of leading Ajwa watched Santol inspect the new found temporary home and the family shook off the wet soaked and achy pains they all achieved.

Ajwa now having a moment to himself internalized a monologue of disappointment, not by the teamwork of his clan but of the disaster they all witnessed. How could this have happened? It was as if the universe wanted a reenactment of the lesser stories told by the cliff and city cats. Why this was much more than what I could handle and without them, I don’t know how strong I could have been. Was it right of me as a leader to take these risks?

Thankfully, the warmth of the entire knit-pack huddled together cured the moist fur and eased the tension each one was fighting against. As the winds whispered in the distance and the sun finally showed its glow upon the world once more. Awoken with yawns and gasps of fresh air filled the lungs of many and increased the moral upon the camp.

As duty of a leader, Ajwa was the first to awake and stand upon the now dried dust of crumbled debris. It was his job to keep the encouragement flowing just as the weather prevailed. ”Sorry to awaken you all from slumber, but finally the weather has shown itself in a better light. If all are able, we should head back toward the starting ground of this celebration. Any objections?”
All cats eyed each other looking for any sort of misunderstanding or longing to keep in this hostile environment. Of course, nobody wanted to stay and with Ajwa up at front the group lined up and followed the original path back towards the cliff-side.

The previous markers however were no longer looking anything like they did only a few days ago. Once trees that stood tall were toppled over, rocks were restocked oddly, and grass was not even on the radar. It proved to be a difficult task to find any way back. Even the scent of others making their trip home was lost with the water ways.

Stumped Ajwa shook his head and forced his nose to take in as much as it could as they eyes were faulty.
”Could I be of any use?” Shouted a light tendered and shy voice. A figure still hidden in the shadows of turmoil looked upon the new arrivals with curiosity and a heartfelt of help, ”I know the way back to camp, if that is where you’re heading?” The cat reassured the shaken journeymen.

”Yes, please we could use the guidance of a cliff-side cat. Lead and we will follow.” Still a little worried about asking for help and having so many more clan mates to worry about. He didn’t want to make any mistakes and with the risk of what happened earlier within the week this only weakened. Regardless, following this cat would prove to be at better odds than Ajwa smelling around and praying his scent could be fetched off any landscape. What choice did he have?

It was evident that this cat would indeed lead them back to safety and the trust of another was a precious memory and memoir for the whole adventure. It was only with this that even the feathers they carried (fewer than before) was even obtained and the story of the past would become a reality again.

The rest of the feathers the family gathered was laid at the paws of who sent them back home. Honestly, nobody would have had it any other way as the story was about teamwork and this is what they accomplished.

Prompt Response:

Prompt 1: "It's your first day and night in the jungle; how does it go? What do you see?"

Victoria's First night in the Jungle comes long before she reaches the grounds for the event, she is travelling from far away and enters the far end of the Jungle about a week before the event, she hopes she'll make it in time but there's no guarentees when travelling so far on paw step.

She looks up at the canopy that first night in awe, she's never been in such dense wood before. She cannot see the stars at all from her nest on the ground. She slowly makes her way up a tree to get a better look, something telling her being up off the ground is a little safer as well. She pokes her head out of the leaves high up in the canopy and stops to stare in awe again. There's so many stars, she rarely is up late enough to see this many stars. She makes a wish on the stars, that the event will go well and she will make new friends. She smiles up at the sky before moving back towards the truck to make a little nest to spend the night in.

She will need all the energy she can get for the rest of the trek to the event, she hopes she's as welcome as the cat that told her about the event made it seem like she would be. She's not sure what she would do if it turned out she was imposing on the event runners by coming from so far away. She knows a thing or two about surviving but she's hoping to stay in the relative safety of numbers for a while once she gets to the event.

Tucked into a little ball against the trunk of the tree, she slowly drifts off dreaming of feathers.

Prompt 4: The monsoon has come early and the river is flooding! Do you search the floodwaters or head for higher ground?

Victoria hardly thinks about it, she rushes towards the waters. She has dealt with flooding before at home and it always sweeps the unsuspecting up in a snap. She uses her toes and claws to steady herself scanning the waters for anyone unfortunate enough to be in the rapids right now. She helps those she can safely reach. Those that are out of paw reach she bends plants down to give them something to grab onto, pull themselves into paw reach where they can be grabbed by their scruffs.

For a thin gal she's quite strong, doing what she can for who she can but knowing her limits. Once the waters start to get too strong, the Monsoon too deep she pulls back, guiding others back to the camp. She had found a Black Ticked Cornish Rex and a Polydactyl Caramel among her rescues, who had asked to return with her to her home. The Cornish Rex had travelled here from a home that no longer wanted them, the Caramel had always wanted to travel away to see the world. She gladly agreed to lead them back to her home at the conclusion of the event.

It was good to find a new friend and privately she thought the Rex looked very cute and hoped to become close friends with them. She didn't expect anything fancy too quickly but having a handsome Rex's attention for at least a little while didn't sound too bad!

Prompt 5: The worst of the monsoon has rolled by, and you hear a massive crash from the city; the flooded river has brought down a building and exposed previously-blocked interiors. Do you take the risk and check it out, or decide to stick to more stable ground?

Once again Victoria hardly thought about her choice, she rushed right into the danger to make sure no one was caught in the collapse. She paw lightly through the rubble mewling softly enough to hopefully avoid predators attention but loudly enough to catch the attention of anyone that's potentially trapped. She carefully climbs around nudging rocks out of the way occasionally to get a look underneath them in case someone is too poorly to return her call. She looks for a little while before deciding that there's nothing in the rubble worth staying in the danger zone. She treks back towards higher ground. Her fur is drenched but she doesn't mind. Once safely back to camp she grooms to warm up again.

Prompt 6: It’s almost time to leave; what’s the last thing you want to do in the jungle?

Victoria takes her new friends, both rescued from the floods and made with the locals, up into the trees. She wants to spend the final night of the event star gazing with all her new pals. She will be in the jungle with her little travel party for a while longer but she still wanted to share a moment with those that would not be travelling with her. She collects bits and bobs of soft things on their way up so they can make a decently sized and soft nest up in the tree to spend their final night together in comfort.

She pokes her head out of the canopy, littlest little friend on her shoulders to look up into the sky with them all. She croons and points out stars and what she calls them to her companions. She doesn't know if they had names previously, she made the ones she knows up when she was just a kit. But it's fun to talk about the stories that seemed to mystical when she was small but now seems like silly little kit stories. She doesn't mind the embarrassment of sharing. She wants to share a little piece of herself with her friends on their last night together. They talk long into the night, eventually agreeing they really should get some rest since tomorrow marks the end of the Event and the beginnings of a long journey home.

Prompt 5
The worst of the monsoon has rolled by, and you hear a massive crash from the city; the flooded river has brought down a building and exposed previously-blocked interiors. Do you take the risk and check it out, or decide to stick to more stable ground?

Making sure their new friend was safe and in a stable shelter, Stone decided to explore the wreckage and exposed buildings to see what new treasures he might find. Stepping gingerly into the closest exposed building, he kept his eyes and ears peeled. After all, who knows what this building holds!
After a while of poking around, not just the original building but two others, Stone was becoming a little bored. After all, being a great treasure seeker was really only fun when you, you know, found treasure. To entertain himself a bit more, Stone had started a little game for himself. He would jump from one rubble pile to another, trying to avoid touching the ground as he traversed the ruins.
As Stone jumped onto the next pile of rubble, he realized he'd made a horrible mistake. The pile was unstable and started to shift underneath him! Stone tried leaping from the pile, but at the last second, he lost his footing and slipped. He'd managed jump, but he did not push off nearly as hard as he'd hoped. Instead of cleanly landing on all fours away from the collapsing pile of rubble, Stone fell to the ground, landing on his side, as the pile fell towards him. He closed his eyes and tensed, waiting for impact. But as the noise and rubble settled down, he slowly relaxing and opened his eyes. There was a large pillar that had fallen diagonally between the rubble and the remains of a wall behind Stone, and this pillar was holding the pile back from landing on Stone. Hearing it creak, he realized it might not last long and scurried out to safety. Wondering what had caused the pile to be so unsteady, Stone decided to wander around to the other side of the rubble and take a look before returning to the safety of stable ground.

Prompt 6
It’s almost time to leave; what’s the last thing you want to do in the jungle?

As Stone thought back on his adventures here in this strange land, he realized that though there were dangers aplenty, both in the jungle and the city, he'd had a really fun time. He'd met some locals and even had a few new friends so intrigued by his home they'd be making the journey back with him. But Stone knew there was one thing he hadn't done yet. He went to Bucket and asked if he could get a tour of the jungle. The two set off, with Bucket pointing out the different plants and wildlife for Stone, teaching Stone all about the ways the city and cliffside colonies rely on the jungle for survival. Stone was completely fascinated, seeing these little secrets he'd never have noticed on his own. Yes, this may not seem like a grand ending to his adventure packed time here, but being able to see the jungle in a new light was the perfect last day.

Prompt 5

The white and silver cat sat in front of them, pale blue eyes bright and kind. Tawny stood guarded, remaining apprehensive of newcomers, despite everyone they had met being friendly so far.

"Oh hello! Yeah, we've been staying in the atrium space of the old library if you'd like to come with us!" Ghost chirped. Tawny leant in closer to Ghost with a sigh.

"You have got to stop randomly inviting cats to join us, who knows what their intentions are." He whispered to her, tail flicking in frustration.

"Tawny, you have to have more trust in others. He's in need of somewhere to stay and I'm not going to let a cat go without shelter when I can do something about it." There was a hint of sadness in her voice as she turned back to the cat seated in front of them. "I'm Ghost and this is Tawny, what's your name?"

"Name's Tyto! Thank you so much for this, I'm ready to go when you are."

"It'd probably be good to head off now, that way we'll still have some light to get you set up and everything. You ready Tawny?" The tom nodded and stood without another word, walking down the hill and back towards the city. Ghost sighed. "Don't mind him, he's a bit rough at times but once he learns to trust you he'll warm up quick." With that the two trotted after him, hopping over puddles and skirting mini lakes as they went. They made it to the city and as the trio wandered through the streets, the ground began to shake and a devastating crash echoed throughout the valley of concrete structures. Some cats ran from it while others ran towards it.

"What was that??" The brown cat hissed, every hair on his back spiked.

"I don't know, maybe we should check it." Tyto and Ghost started in the direction of the quake before turning back to Tawny who hadn't budged.

"And risk endangering ourselves? Are you insane? Ghost, don't tell me you're going with him." Tawny spat.

"What if cats were hurt? I can't just leave them." She yelled back. Her and Tyto broke into a sprint and Tawny ran after them begrudgingly. As the rounded a corner the crumbling building revealed itself, rubble littering the street. All three of them came to a stop and Tawny locked eyes with Tyto.

"I am not going in there. I know Ghost will want to and I can never talk her out of dangerous situations, so you better look after her. If anything happens to her, you'll be the one buried under that rubble." Ghost opened her mouth to argue but Tawny turned away. He didn't like to make threats, but if it creates an incentive for Tyto to protect her, he'd just have to deal with the guilt that came with it. Without another word the two white cats ran into the partially collapsed building.

"Hello? Is anyone in here??" Ghost called, scaling piles of stone and tossing rocks out of the way where she could. Other cats had come to help as well. She had stopped to search a section as dust drifted down from the areas remaining above them.

"Ghost, I don't think it's stable in here. We should leave." She tossed Tyto a concerned look.

"You're just worried about what Tawny said. It'll be fine, we need to search." More dust drifted down.

"Ghost-" Suddenly what was left of the floor above them began to crack and break off. Tyto lunged towards her, knocking her out of the way as a large chunk of concrete crashed down where Ghost had just been standing. They were silent for a moment, eyes wide and startled. "It isn't worth it. Let's leave." Tyto managed to choke out. Ghost nodded silently and got to her paws shakily. They limped out of the building to where Tawny was stood outside.

"What was that sound? Why are you limping? I told you to keep her-"

"Safe. He did that." Ghost interrupted. "I'm not hurt, just a little shaken up. Jelly legs." She chuckled. Tawny glanced between her and Tyto for a moment.

"Thank you. I was wrong" That was all the tabby could get out.

"It's fine, let's just get to the library so she can settle." The two toms flanked Ghost and supported her as they made their way back to the library.

Prompt 6

Ghost awoke to the sun shining through the glass ceiling above them. Tyto and Tawny had woken up a while ago and already brought some prey back for her.

"So are you two getting along now?" She murmured sleepily. Tyto chuckled and dropped a mouse in front of her.

"I think so." Tyto tossed Tawny a look and the brown tabby nodded in response with a subtle smirk.

"He was probably right to be wary of you to be fair, we don't really know much about you. Did you come here with anyone else from your clowder?" Ghost had sat up now, pulling the mouse closer with a paw.

"I'm actually a local, but also a bit of a loner. Never really fit in with either of the clowders around here." He explained, paws shuffling awkwardly. Opening up about that kind of thing could be a bit embarrassing at times. "Anyway, we've been talking and we think after your scary adventure yesterday, you should get to choose what we do on your last day in the city."

"Oh yeah, it completely slipped my mind that this was the final day of the festival." Ghost hummed. "Well what would you suggest? Know any local secrets?" Tyto cracked a smile.

"Actually, I do. What's your opinion on waterfalls?" Tawny's eyes widened from where he'd been observing the conversation.

"Water?? Seriously? Weren't you the one that got soaked in the floods the other day?" The white cats giggled.

"Yeah but Ghost said she doesn't mind water, and it is her pick after all!" Tawny sighed reluctantly and returned to grooming his ears.

"I love waterfalls." Ghost purred. The toms smiled, albeit a very subtle one from Tawny, and without another word stood to leave. The trio took their time leaving the city behind, admiring the long abandoned place. Tyto took the lead once they got to the jungle, weaving through the trees as birds sung above and creatures rustled in the bushes around them. Eventually they came to the river and followed it upstream until a gorgeous waterfall fell before them. Plants flourished at the bottom where the water sprayed its surroundings.

"Not many locals actually know about this, it's like my little secret."

"It's incredible Tyto, thank you for showing us this." Ghost purred, sitting by the edge of the water and tracing the ripples with her eyes. "Hey, um, I've been thinking and wanted to ask if you'd like to come home with us? I'm sure you'd fit in, and you've already befriended two of us." Tyto looked a little taken aback at this. "Obviously if you want to stay here then that's fine, this is still your home right now whether you belong to a clowder or not, I was just thinking that-"

"Ghost, I'd love to. Thank you." Tyto purred softly and touched his tail to her shoulder. Tawny stepped forward to stand beside them.

"We'd love to have you, Tyto. We should get going soon then, it's a long journey."

It's your first day and night in the jungle; how does it go? What do you see?

"Shadow, how far is this new forest?" Rye asks.
Shadow sighs impatiently, "We just have to keep following the river as it flows, then it will become much hotter and your fur will feel like it's wet without even stepping into the water. So not much further now."
"I just can't believe there was a whole other forest that we never even noticed...well maybe if we summered on the other side of the mountain," Port meows pensively. He chose to head out with Shadow and see what there was to see before making the decision to involve the rest of the clowder, and of course Rye had to come along. "It certainly is getting warmer, I'm glad we decided to head out just before sunrise. Maybe we can return before it gets dark. I'm not so sure about leaving Salamander in charge."
The trio walk along the river bed, the gentle stream they knew so well slowly got wider and more brown. The air is thick with humidity, and strange animals call out to each other from the bushes nearby. A tall canopy can be seen peaking out over the hills, that must be the new forest.
Suddenly, a huge shadow passes over them. It is a bird much bigger than any of the cats are used to seeing by the water. They all dive for cover, peering out to watch the giant white bird land gracefully at the river's edge. Shadow lets out a hiss, and Port thinks she is afraid of the bird at first, but then notices the strange cat walking confidently towards them.
"Heyo! My name is Ube. I thought I smelled an unfamiliar scent over this way, and how wonderful to get to meet you." The strange cat calls out to them. He has long fur like them, but also has a flower tucked neatly behind his ear. "Come on, I'll guide you to my clowder, the festivities are about to start!"
Shadow hesitates, but Port and Rye slowly move out from their cover to go exchange scents with their guide, obviously excited at the word festivities.

A young kitten approaches you and asks for your help finding feathers; do you help them?

Pearl had never gone this far away from the others before, so she is already on edge. The overwhelming sights and smells did not help either. Her white coat stood out starkly against the vivid green and brown all around her, so she tries to be as quiet as possible while hunting for feathers. A rustling noise could be heard to her right can be heard. Clearly this is a creature of immense proportion, who is confident and skilled enough to defend against any predator. Perhaps its one of the larger wildcats that Pearl has heard stories of, or maybe its a wild boar that the Cliffside Clowder have been dealing with...whatever it is, she has got to avoid--
"Heyo! Whatcha' hiding from?" Squeaks out a tiny, scrappy looking kitten.
Pearl nearly jumps out from her skin, "Ah! Be quiet! There is a terrible creature lurking around here...didn't you hear the noises?"
But at that moment she notices that the noises are gone, and the scent is only of this kitten.
"Hmmm, nope! I didn't hear any noises...well except the ones coming from me I guess. Oops, I'm Anemone, I was looking for feathers with my dad but he got lost somewhere, and now I found you!"
The tiny kitten spoke 10 words a second, but Pearl instantly forgot all about her own danger and thought only of getting this kitten back to their home. "My name is Pearl, it's nice to meet you! I believe I have met your father, so let's see if we can't find him. I'm a little lost as well you see."
"Ah perfect! I know this forest like the back of my paw. I'll show you all the cool spots..." Anemone trails off as they are already bounding away into the forest.
"Hey wait up!" Pearl calls. Well, she'll get home eventually.

Salamander and Piper are like to weasels in a wastebasket as the pair are always up to some mischief. Due to Piper's deafness, he sticks close to Salamander, but he didn't need to hear to be able to tell that something happened in the city. With just a look the two take off sprinting towards the sound and shuddering of the earth, running headfirst into the possible danger. The rewards could be great despite the risk, and that was enough to convince them.

They aren't the first cats there, as they were beaten by a few members of the Cityside clowder. Bucket is pacing back and forth as the dust settles in the distance.
"What's wrong?" Salamander asks, concern rising as he gets a fuller idea of what just happened here.
Never taking his eyes off of the rubble, Bucket responds tersely, "Lillypad just went in there. They said they should check it out and make sure no one was over there when the building collapsed. I tried to stop them, but they can just be so stubborn sometimes. It's not like we could move these huge rocks and only the stars know who could be lurking in the cracks."
Piper runs over to the edge of the rubble, tail swishing a signal that he's spotted something.
"Alright I guess we're going in!" Salamander is a little apprehensive now but if Piper saw something, then they have to check it out.

Bone found brilliant blue kingfisher feathers to add to xer collection. Mist snagged some harpy eagle feathers by attacking it while it dove for a fish. Salamander and Piper acquired a rainbow of macaw feathers while they explored the collapsed city building. A new cat padded over and laid down a rusty gold feather of a hoatzin.
"Hello! My name is Fig and I was wondering if I could join your clowder? I offer my feather to your collection as well as my skills as a hunter."
The Sun Valley clowder look at each other, but the answer is obvious. Port speaks up, "Of course Fig, welcome home."

Following the eager Asclepias through the jungle, Pyla and Waxwing took in the passing scenery, all of the vines and fruits seeming at once strange and familiar. There was a bittersweet scent in the air from some unseen flower, mirroring the feeling in each cat’s heart; the memories made here would be treasured forever.

The celebration in the clearing carried long into the night, with cats sharing stories and trinkets they had found over the festival. With the stars high in the sky, Pyla and Waxwing went to go retrieve Asclepias, who had fallen asleep in a small pile with all the trinkets they had traded for.

After the stress and chaos of the previous days, the city is quiet, and almost peaceful. Across a cracked section of long-abandoned roadway, you see a group of capybara sunning themselves by a pool of water left in the street, butterflies fluttering their brightly-colored wings as they dance around the capybara. Even with all of the stress and the fear of the past few days, life carries on and there is a form of comfort to this.

You find a good vantage point to watch the city as its inhabitants come out of hiding, admiring the smooth flights of macaws and the calls of monkeys swinging their way in search of fruits.

Sure, water was dripping into a pool in the corner, but it wasn’t dripping onto them, which was a hearty improvement. As her eyes adjusted to the gloom of the interior, Victoria spotted something shimmering in the dust; she found a litter stat booster!

Back in the safety and relative warmth of the shattered building, Victoria was more than thrilled to get the mud out of her fur. While she hadn’t found anything in the rubble, she was almost glad for that; the thought of finding a trapped cat made her shudder. Deciding that this building was maybe not the safest to rest in, she led her friends to a nearby tree to spend the night.

Just as the assembled cats began to shuffle down below the canopy to find places in the branches to sleep, a cry went up; the sky was full of shooting stars! Victoria immediately poked her head up through the leaves again, mouth agape as the shooting stars rained down into the jungle. As she looked, something shimmering fell onto the branch by her paw; she found a moderate line edit!

Stone’s inquisitive nature paid off; as he looked around the rubble pile, he spotted something shimmering in the fresh dust, only a little scratched up by the sudden landslide, and partially hidden underneath a few rocks. Although eager to see his prize in full, Stone looked carefully at the rocks that overlaid the glittering token, not wanting to cause a second landslide. After deciding that it was safe, he carefully kicked off the top rock and grabbed the shiny thing before scrabbling somewhere safe to examine it; he found a double stat reroll!

As Stone followed behind Bucket, the latter chattering about the birds and trees that surrounded them both, he realized what a gift he was given through this tour. This knowledge was as much a treasure as anything he had found hidden in the little nooks and crannies of the city, and he would be sure to cherish it just the same. Still, as he and Bucket turned back towards camp, Stone found one last treasure glittering under the leaves; he found a minimal line edit!

Thankfully, whether through luck or through any lurking creatures not wanting to tangle with so many cats, the journey back to the library was uneventful. Once Ghost was safe inside and resting, Tawny and Tyto sat awkwardly in the silence. Neither tom quite knew what to do with the other, but both were glad that Ghost was alright, and resting easily.

“Not too long of a journey that we can’t go swimming first?” Tyto asked, looking back at the water with a grin. Tawny’s eyes widened, but Ghost was already on her feet and testing the water with her paw.

Compared to the air, the water was gently cool and refreshing, and she eagerly waded into the waterfall pool, relaxing in the soft waves coming from the waterfall. After a moment, both toms waded in, splashing in the water and watching the small, shimmering fish scattering at their approach. As he watched the fish, Tawny spotted something else shining in the sand, and briefly ducked his head under the water to retrieve his prize; he found a major line edit!

Following Ube back to the central camp, all three of the travelers were stunned by how many cats had gathered for the festival. After listening to Kardal’s speech, Shadow joined Port and Rye off to the side to discuss their thoughts for the celebration. Soon, other cats joined the trio and the conversation turned to storytelling and boasting that lasted late into the night before sleep claimed all present.

Following after young Anemone, Pearl was astonished that any cat could remember the paths through the jungle, much less a kitten. The trees seemed like an impenetrable maze, with bushes and undergrowth that could hide any number of horrors. Every noise seemed like a potential threat, but Anemone didn’t seem the slightest bit worried. Thankfully, although Pearl saw vast creatures moving by the riverbank, nothing emerged to cause trouble for the pair, and she soon saw Anemone running up to the familiar Ube, who was grateful to have the adventuring kitten returned safe and sound. In response to the kind gesture, Ube gave Pearl something shining and glittery; she has found a moderate line edit!

Down at the riverbank, Bone shivered even in the hot sunlight; the chill from the reading had not left xem. If anything, the sense of unease had increased, magnified by strange patterns in the swirling, muddy water, and the calls of unfamiliar creatures. As xe looked into the water, xe heard a hissing exhale and jumped as several large, oddly-pink creatures surfaced. All long faces and small eyes, they were like nothing xe had ever seen. The strangers did seem oddly playful, and one tossed something shining out of the water to xem; xe have found an extra breeding slot!

Despite being a strong swimmer, Mist soon found themself being swept away by the floodwater’s current. Through stubbornness and sheer willpower, they managed to claw themself out of the rushing water and onto a tree. Bone was waiting in the branches, huddled next to an unfamiliar and soaking wet cat! Once the water subsided, all three headed back to the safety of dry land.

Ducking under the hanging piles of rubble and torn vines, Piper and Salamander entered the crumbled ruin, looking for anything that could be a cat. The interior was as dark as deepest night, and the pair soon found themselves feeling their way rather than looking, their whiskers sweeping against rough stone and rotted concrete.

Finally, after what felt like an age, there was a glimmer of light in the tunnel up ahead, and Salamander led Piper into a hidden room. Light streamed through the crack in the roof, illuminating Lilypad sitting with a strange cat.

“Thank the forest you’re here!” they called, getting to their feet but loathe to leave the cat at their side. “I managed to get them in here, but I was terrified there was no way out after the rubble shifted! Can you help lead us out?”

Fig gratefully lays out the feathers that have been collected over the event, and soon all of the cats present are comparing their finds, laughing about their adventures and their close shaves in the jungle. It was one eventful few weeks, and everyone is glad to relax in the fading light of the sun. It is going to be a long walk back home, but with new friends and companions, the stories will make the travels easier. As Mist is telling the story of the harpy eagle feathers, Fig spots something glittering in the sand; washed up from the floodwaters, it’s a major line edit!
