Prompt:Skypaw sneaks out of camp all the time to head over to the hunters grotto where the tallest trees are in the territory. He has a secret place where he goes everyday to practice his jumping, he is getting better and better everyday though he often gets hurt. The trees were thick and the small area was hidden from view, he would always slip into the river to hide his scent so others won't find him. Today was the day... he was going to do it... he was going to fly. He looked up the branch of his favourite tree, an old oak tree that still stood tall with pride, he climbed up and gazed around his kingdom, the trees were close enough together that he could crawl around the branches and sneak through the forest if he really wanted to. The branches were thick enough that he could lay down without worrying about falling, and the center of the tree had a nice groove in it that he could make a small nest in and keep secret things in. Cool rocks and feathers, neat looking flowers and leaves. He even comes there to eat prey in secret. His precious secret home away from home, his clan doesn't really understand him much so he doesn't mind getting away.
He sighed happily and walked along the branches softly and purred gently, as he sprawled out over the branches and licked his paw, he looked around knowing he would have to return again before his mentor would want to take him out again for a patrol or training. So he got up and ran across the branches, he would do it today, he would fly! He yowled out happily as he flew off the branch once he pushed off however he didn't get far, he fell to the ground in a bush he yelped surprised and hissed softly as he got up and shook off the leaves and sighed, "Okay not today..." He said, and looked around, the bushes, soft grass and flowers around the area that kept him sheltered were the only things keeping him from hurting himself to much. This small little grotto in the forest that he loved to come to everyday, was his secret and no one else knew about it and he wanted to keep it that way. A secret for only him to enjoy as he slipped out of the bushes and through the river waiting on the other side before he headed back through the forest back to Echoclan camp, Softfeather purred, "There you are! Ready to go?" She asked and blinked, "You are soaking wet... did you leave camp again?" She asked, "Yea just outside at the stream, I wanted to get a drink." He purred happily. "Alright let's get started on patrol then we can train." She said softly. He smiled and ran after her eagerly ready to start his day.
Extra: Skypaw is the strangest cat you will ever meet, he's a dreamer, has a one-track mind, and can't pay attention to anything without spacing out in a daydream about his goal in life, a fantasy world of his own creation. Skypaw knows he is a cat, he loves his clan, he's amazingly loyal and will defend his clan at all costs, but there is a different part of him as well. Skypaw believes he was meant to be a bird, he loves the sky and finds in the most awesome thing in the world, he is completely obsessed with it, he is always trying to find ways to fly, jumping from trees only to fall and land on his paws, he never gets hurt expect for minor sprains and twists but other then that he is fine. He loves watching birds fly and wishes to join them, he wants to fly so badly and kiss the ground goodbye and soar above the clouds higher then any bird, and will often dream of flight and racing the wind. Skypaw has devoted his whole life to pursuing his impossible dream, he will never give up on it and will push to reach his goal. Oddly enough Skypaw knows 'how to speak to the birds' around him and will often chirp randomly at times though he knows no other cat can understand him, and because of his belief he refuses to eat bird, truthfully he can't speak bird.
