Cat Name: Clovergaze
Gender: Male (he/they)
Rank: Healer
Clan: BarleyClan
Age: 3 years old
Prompt:

To Clovergaze, comfort is everything. During his herb and supplies gathering, they have tried walking, running, and even hitching a ride in a two-leg truck like Mapleclaw does... but nothing seemed to calm his overwhelming anxiety. They were like this ever since he was a kit, it was the reason why he didn't become a scout or hunter. Clovergaze is as comfy as ever in camp, but that one step out of the boundaries of safety, and he's as nervous as an elephant. Thankfully, this all changed when an isolated group of horses suddenly decided to take pit stops at the clan territory every day. It didn't alarm Clovergaze as much as his clanmates, he could tell they meant no harm. When Clovergaze's fellow healers suggested trying to ride the horses, they had to hold back a laugh. Cats? Riding horses? Nonetheless, he needed medical supplies because of a raging sickness in the camp, so they tried it.
It was nothing short of amazing. Getting on was a tad difficult because the horse seemed to have the mindset of "What on earth are you doing, get off me", but thankfully Clovergaze is lighter than his clanmates, and the horse soon gave up and carried on its way.
Clovergaze was shocked at how well this worked. He would spot supplies, jump off the horse, collect it, and catch up to the team of horses. Eventually, the horse he kept hitching a ride with (nicknamed "Berry") started to stop in its tracks and wait for Clovergaze to get back.
When he arrived back at camp, they were happy to report the tons and tons of supplies they had gathered. And he had done it without a single strain of anxiety in his blood. (291 words)

Cat Name: Charcoal
Gender: Male
Rank: Hunter/Loner
Clan: FrostClan
Age: 29 moons
Prompt:
Charcoal likes to travel with wolves, riding on their backs as they run through snowy planes and frosty forest.

Wolves are Charcoal's family. Of course, he can't always keep up with them. They have much longer legs than he does, and they're much larger, their huge muscles made for running. Charcoal quickly found out, while playing with pups in his kitten days, that he wasn't nearly as fast as they were when they raced, even if the wolf cubs had stubby legs and huge, clumsy paws.

Luckily for him, his adoptive parents came up with a solution relatively quickly, while he was still young and the pack needed to relocate. They couldn't leave behind their strange pointy-eared son, after all. The wolves lifted little Charcoal onto the back of his mother, and he'd clung on with his thorn-sharp little claws.

And when she'd run, the pack all around them and the cold wind rushing through his fur, he felt a feeling he'd never felt before. And it felt amazing.

These days, Charcoal still prefers to travel on the backs of his wolf family, as they're still much bigger than he is. He tries to go easier with his claws now, though - they've gotten much longer, and much sharper than simple thorns.

Cat Name: Winter's Leaf
Gender: afab
Rank: Hunter
Clan: Mobius Circle
Age: 2 Years
Prompt:
It was Lingers who first showed Winter's Leaf the Middle Domain. She remembers the wide open plains, the purple skies and the various mirrors that scattered the hills. It was unbelievable. It is still hard for her to grasp the concept of jumping through the mirrors, as where you jump into allows you to transport yourself to a random location. Lingers enthusiasm when showing her how the mirrors worked was quite overwhelming at first, as she thought she could fall in and never come back out! But with some coaxing, Winter's Leaf slowly became accustomed to the Middle Domain's most interesting way of transport.

Prompt: Astrid prefers to travel by climbing into the trees and moving from tree to tree by jumping to different branches. She prefers the high ground to avoid other cats as she isn't very socialable.

Cat Name: Spark of Dying Ember
Gender: trans masc (he/him pronouns)
Rank: guardian
Clan: wandering souls of the abyss
Age: 60 moons
Prompt:
Within the Abyss, if one travelled far enough, there were places where the veil between dimensions became thin. You could feel it in the air, a heaviness that suggested a heightened sense of gravity the closer one walked to a portal. Spark of Dying Ember was known to often depart from the Wandering Souls to find one of these portals, and see where it would take him. Every time, it was someplace new, though he could only stay a few hours before the magic pulled him back into the Abyss.

Ember now stood in front of a new portal. This one was disguised as a pool, a collection of rainwater surrounded by a small cove of rocks. As he watched, the water swirled in endless movement, reminding Ember of the black holes that could be distantly seen in the constant night sky of the Abyss. Without a second thought, the guardian dived in.

When he emerged, the cat was faced with a bright light so intense he had to sit and allow his eyes to adjust. When he could see properly, Ember found himself speechless at the sight. Before him was a vast ocean, reaching as far as his eyes could see. The sun was setting on the horizon, painting the sky in an orange light. He stood on the edge of a jagged cliffside, where below the waves crashed powerfully against the rock. For the first time in a long time, Ember felt the sun warm his fur. It felt like an eon since the last time Ember was able to watch a sunset, or see the sun at all. Sighing, the cat laid and enjoyed the rare feeling of warmth on his fur, and did not take his eyes off the sun until it set over the horizon.

Cat Name: Hurricaneblaze
Gender: Tom
Rank: Half-rouge Warrior
Clan: ≋O≋c≋e≋a≋n≋ ≋C≋l≋a≋n
Age: 4 years + 2 moons
Prompt: Hurricaneblaze likes to swim through small rivers and tread through creaks to travel! He will go out of his way just to find a creek instead to travel through. Originally born in a desert, water shortage was short, and considering the heat of the desert... there have been some very close calls to straight-up collapsing. Now that he lives in the forest as a half-rouge warrior, he gets water whenever he pleases, leading him to be much more thankful for the hot but much less hot than the desert sort of weather.

Cat Name: Minivetfoot
Gender: afab, Female
Rank: Warrior
Clan: Coinclan
Age: 16 Moons
Prompt: With how many steep slopes there are in Coinclan territory, there are two stand outs for cats that like to get around quickly but are extremely lazy.
To go up hill, sitting on top of cable cars is enormous fun. It's a challenge to get up there, but you get a view rather like what starclan has. Plus, the cart rocks constantly and the precariousness causes a constant adrenaline rush!
Downhill, the stand up is rolling. You just go on your side, twist slightly and nyoom you're off! You have to be careful to make sure there are no actual cliffs on the route though, but that just adds to the adrenaline again!
