( ━ ✰ describe the first snow/winter )
the cutting winds of the most recent leaf-fall had long since quelled over the mountaintop, but most of the cats on the mountaintop knew that the harshest was yet to come. groundhogs hid in their holes, cranes circled above before flying away, and the snowy peaks that the brutal kingdom called home were cloaked in fog. as the lord himself warned his soldiers, winter was a cruel period, where the cold picked off the weak and kept only the strongest. to live through winter meant you were truly fit for living in this area. blackstar himself had been a resident of the mountains, a firsthand witness to how the cold could cull a kingdom of cats with rapid efficiency.
clearly the kingdom took natural selection to a whole other level.
the foodstore was stocked to a reasonable level, though it would likely not feed them through the troubling winter moons.
