Gender: Female
Rank: Sun
Age: 2 years
Colony: The Lost Stars
Prompt:
xxxxxCream Flight padded beside Flame Flight. They were both in the group Echoing Wings, though she still felt uncomfortable within the colony. She wasn’t born in The Lost Stars and had merely stumbled upon it with her brother one day. The Supernova, named Copper Sight, had claimed there was a falling star that night. Both Cream and Flame knew this wasn’t true, though they both kept silent.
“Should we hunt?” Flame had asked earlier in the day, and Cream had agreed.
xxxxxBoth cats lowered into a quiet stalk when they neared the lake and the scent of prey washed over their noses. Cream hunted very rarely, because she couldn’t do so very well, though this time she was determined to catch something. Flame whispered a few tips to her and nodded at a bird that was hunting for worms. Then, they both circled the bird. At Flame’s signal, Cream leapt forward. The bird let out a shriek of alarm and flapped upward, dodging Cream’s claws. Flame jumped and caught the bird while Cream hit the grass, her claws empty. Killing the bird, Flame looked up at Cream.
“When you jump for the bird, don’t aim for where it is. Aim for where it’s going to be, which is up.” He said, and the calico nodded.
xxxxxThey tried the hunt again after Flame hid the bird. This time, they crept up on the squirrel. Cream prepared to leap and then leapt as high as she could, to intercept the squirrel. But to her surprise, the squirrel darted away from her paws and up the nearest tree. Landing with her claws empty once again, she sighed. Flame gave the calico an irritated look which could not be seen through either cat’s bowl. “Cream, squirrels go for trees, not the air.” She said, and Cream nodded, disappointed.
xxxxxIn a final attempt to hunt, the siblings circled a mouse. Then, Flame gave the signal. Cream burst out of the undergrowth and flew into the air. The mouse began to run, so Cream darted for the tree ahead of it. She was confused when the mouse ran not to the tree, but into a hole in the ground.
“Cream,” Flame said. “For one, mice don’t fly. Nor do squirrels. Also, they head for their home, which is not in the tree.” He continued. Then, with a sigh, he added; “Maybe you should train with the Tauri for a while.”
Cream bowed her head sadly. “Yea, maybe I should.”

Username: Faededfyre
Name: Fey
Gender: Agender, afab
Rank: Berry Hunter
Age: Unknown
Colony: Berry Moon
Prompt:
Fey is a trickster, the type of cat you can only half believe, half the time. She specialises in ‘contracts’ made between her and the more stressed and overwhelmed members of the colony. She takes some of their workload and in return they gather objects with a strange value to her and often not freely available. Those who don’t pay their agreed upon fee forfeit something of their own. Fey is the mastermind behind all of the thievery and trickery happening among the colony.

Despite her reputation being a not so hidden secret, many still believe her to be naive and innocent. Easily tricked herself. She often plays into this role, letting herself lose a few payments entirely and acting easily persuaded by those who think they have one better than her. One cat in particular had been using this to his advantage just a touch too often for Fey’s liking. And so, she enacted another hidden clause in her ‘contracts’ to punish him accordingly. She threatened the life of his newborn kits unless he paid up every last thing he owed and surprisingly he obeyed with very little complaint.

Fey learned that cats are rather malleable when those they love are on the line.

Name: Glowing Sun
Gender: molly
Rank: second
Age: 20 months
Colony: Bitter Moon Hunt
Prompt:
Ever heard of bees?
Glowing Sun frowned, sniffing further through the blanket of flowers. Something was buzzing. She pricked her fuzzy ears, tail flicking. Sun stretched her head forward, nose twitching. There! She buried her head in the blossom, inhaling deeply and distracting herself from the noise. It was even louder here, naturally.

Sun leapt back with a squeal. Ow, ow, ow! She pawed at her muzzle, whining to herself. What had happened? Did the flower have a great big thorn? She shook her head, sighing. Glowing Sun sloped back to the Bloomtime camp, and peered around. 'Good dawn, Nimble Feet, Head of the Hunters,' Sun muttered around the bulging thing her tongue seemed to have become.

That was when she learnt she had an allergy.
Ouch.

Username: Strawberry Milk
Name: HoneyDawn
Gender: Molly
Rank: Citizen
Age: 2 years
Colony: Lilac Peaks
Prompt:
HoneyDawn had never seen a cat more beautiful, more perfect in her whole life. The sunlight made her pelt sparkle and her laugh was like the dawn of a new day.
"W-who is that?" she asked her friend, as they watched the unknown cat make her way through the camp to the king's den.
"She's from a nearby colony, a princess, I think,"
HoneyDawn couldn't believe her eyes and stared in awe at her beauty. After a brief chat with the king, it looked like she was about to leave! HoneyDawn jumped up and ran towards the center of the camp.
"W-Wait!! You're so beautiful; what's your name?" The princess looked her for a moment before saying "LavenderMoon".
As it turned out, the two colonies were undergoing diplomatic negotiations and LavenderMoon was staying in Lilac Peaks for a whole moon cycle. Every chance she got, HoneyDawn sought out the beautiful foreign cat, and the two became good friends by the end of it. They got along well and had similar interests, despite their different upbringing. When it was time for LavenderMoon to return to her own colony, HoneyDawn felt a terrible feeling down inside her. It was then that she realized that this princess was more than just a friend to her, that she was in love. She had never been in love before, and had never known what it felt like. As she watched the molly leave the camp, she knew had to make her feelings known in case she would never return. HoneyDawn jumped up and ran to her, just like the first time they had met. [269]
