xxxVoe's face had a shadowy seriousness to it. "I think you know what this is about. Who do you want as a mate?" she asked. Voe's eye's shone like lights. Probably Bramble.. She seems to help him have fun. But Bird has known Oak forever.. Voe's thoughts were interrupted by Oak.

Oak's eyes shot open. He had a look of panic in his eyes. What? No... I don't want to choose! It's too early! I won't be king for another two moons! Bird or Bramble? Bramble or Bird? How in StarClan do I choose?! But, as he struggled to escape the cloying sense of fear at the sudden question, a very familiar scent washed over him. Oak's young eyes widened. "Roar?" he breathed, staring as his father stepped out from behind Voe and smiled at him with the familiar regal, friendly expression. He had stars swirling in his fur, but he was still solid and warm and there. The former leader looked at him levelly. "Be prepared for everything, my son. You know in your heart who you must choose. " Oak found himself nodding, reassured by Roar's presence. He knew who to choose. He looked up at his father. "Whenever you truly need me, I will come. But I'll always be here, watching over you. Know that, Oak.
Voe can't see me, but she can scent me. Tell her I love her, and that I'm so proud of her." Roar pressed his muzzle lightly against Voe's, and then started to disappear. Within moments, he was completely gone.

Timber tilts her head slightly in confusion, jumping down from branch to branch until she makes it to the ground with a soft poof of dirt under her paws. "Who was that you were talking to? Mum hasn't said anything," she says, coming to a halt beside her brother. Whiskers twitching, she scents the air carefully, the whiff of a familiar scent hitting the roof of her mouth before it fades completely. "R-Roar? Why is his scent here? Oak, what's going on?" the tabby royal inquires, her mouth open as she scents the air again, hoping to smell her father again but getting noting. "Great StarClan, Oak, tell me what's going on here." Timber flicks her tail, sitting down in the soft undergrowth beside her little brother and facing her mother. It felt odd to be next to her brother and mother at the same time. They were hardly all three together anymore, especially after Roar's death. A family reunion in the forest, she thinks almost amusedly to herself. Who knew we were even still called a family.

Oak hardly noticed his sister appear until she spoke. He turned to look at her, all of a sudden needing a sibling around to steady him. He loved Timber, he always had, and right now she was one of the only cats he could talk to. "I... I just saw Roar. In a vision." He looked at his mother, then travelled his gaze to his sister. A smile played across his handsome face. "He told me to tell you both that he loved you... and that he's proud of who you've become." Knowledge was flooding into his mind, the royal blood in his veins rising, and he felt older, wiser, capable of becoming king and leading TigerClan. He seemed to grow physically, in the way he held himself; no cat would have guessed that this was the same hyperactive young kitten who had charged about so much earlier that day. "Voe... I know my choice. And Timber... I love you. You're still my sister, no matter what- and no matter what ranks divide us, you're still my kin. And I'm glad of it." He smiled warmly at his sister, hoping that he could bury old feuds and arguments with this simple, heartfelt apology.

[despairz]

Vapor flicks his ears, listening to her. His eyes widen when she asks if he would be her kits father. Or was he? Maybe she just wanted him to make sure her kits grew up well. He didn't know how I be a father.. He barel knew his own father, and when he actually did meet him, he was a jerk. A monster. Realizing he was taking too long to answer, he looks at the queen. "Oh.. Um... I- I guess I could um.. Help them learn." He says, flicking his long tail.

[laf]

Timber's eyes brighten with emotion. "I love you too, Oak," she purrs, nosing his ears. "My kingly little brother." Timber's heart feels as if it has swelled three sizes. She notices Oak's sudden shift in demeanor and feels her own attitude change. She lifts her chin ever so slightly, feeling her own royal blood rising. She was the sister of the future king, she is just as royal as he. Timber licks her brother's cheek affectionately. "You'll always be my brother, Oak, no matter what happens," she says, "Don't ever forget that I'm here for you."

xxxVoe had tears rushing down her face. Roar was here, yet so far. She wrapped her tail around her kin, and leaving space for Roar. "Oak.. Who is it? You.." She sniffed. "You must choose a mate, and I know it's hard. Roar, Timber, Oak.. I love you all." She silently waited for her kit to reply. She stifled a yawn in her wait, mentally speaking to Roar. Please just help Oak. It's hard, but you can guide him.

(Just thought I'd let you know that I'm still here, just stalking the thread ^.^)

Oak's chest swelled in pride and happiness. The three- no, four- of them were here. The royals. The most powerful cats in the Clan were together, as one- and Oak felt like he could run forever. "Thank you, Timber," he purred, raising his head to smile into her eyes. "My big sister. You're not as annoying as I thought you'd be." Grinning, his laughter faded as Voe spoke, but he answered his mother with deadly certainty and seriousness. "I choose... Bramble. I think Bird hates me... and she's my friend, but not my future mate. Roar showed me that I had to go with who I wanted, not with the Clan's choice- and though I don't see Bramble as my mate, I do see her as the future king's mate. And that's me. So... I choose Bramble." His heart felt lighter, as if he'd spoken something he'd wanted to for a while. Roar's life would be celebrated tonight... And soon, he would be king. Ok couldn't wait. The only awkward thing would be telling Bramble- but hey, when you're the High Prince, anything is possible!

Dove smiled in relief at Vapor, purring deep in her throat. "Oh, thank you, Vapor. This means a lot. I'm sure you'd enjoy it- and maybe our future king over there would consider appointing you as a mentor, if you asked him nicely enough!" Her eyes softened, and a picture played in front of her eyes; Vapor, playing happily with a litter of three-moon-old kittens, laughing and happy. The picture made the beautiful queen smile, and she looked contentedly up at Vapor.

Timber grins and headbutts her brother playfully. "I always knew you'd be together one day," she chuckles. "Big sister powers, ya know." Timber amusedly turns to her mother. "I realize I might've not been the most... pleasant cat to be around lately, and I'm sorry. I got so caught up in the thought that I was living in Oak's shadow that I forgot Roar shines his light on all of us, not just the high prince here," Timber says, licking her mother's cheek. "I had it in my head that I wasn't important at all, and that dragged me down a lot. It wasn't until today that Dove helped me realize that I am Roar's daughter and Oak's sister, not that kit no one wanted."
