Prompt Choice: A.
Prompt:

Axel could only blink upon the smaller cat's request, he unable but to just observe her for a time before nodding. He was still getting used to the smaller felines, apparently. They just... seemed so foreign.

"Sure, I can help," he'd reply lightly. "Although I'll need some help, myself. I've never done much when it came to plants of any kind." He'd confess, soon just following the smaller cat quietly. It must've looked odd, he was certain, for a large lion like himself to follow such a small, little cat... It made him wonder just where they had come from, where these smaller versions of himself were usually found... He shook his head sometime later.

'Now's not the time to be daydreaming,' he thought to himself, soon just continuing to follow Asa around and watching what she had done, soon trying himself. It was a bit tricky, especially when it came to how much larger his paws were compared to her smaller ones, but he could reach places she couldn't, or at least he could reach them easier. Perhaps this wouldn't be so bad, or as bad as he originally thought.

He just wouldn't consider himself part of the 'green paw' population. (202 wc)

Prompt choice: A
Prompt:

When Tulca-Noen reached the outside, she found that a storm had come in the night, covering the land above ground with muck and debris. She was one who always appreciated a good rain after a battle, it helped to cleanse the land, but it seemed that this one had left the workers of the city with more to do. She spotted one, a small cat, working hard to repair the tree itself. The Jedi made her way over, planning to offer assistance.

As if reading her mind, the cat asked for her help. She introduced herself as Asa, and the Jedi dipped her head respectfully. "I am Tulca-Noen Azimuth," she said in return. "I would be happy to help you."

Asa invited her up the tree, and Tulca-Noen carefully climbed its trunk. Once there, she used the Force to lift larger branches and hold them steady while Asa fastened them. With the Jedi's help the work was completed fairly quickly, certainly far faster than if Asa had done it all herself or if Tulca-Noen had not had the Force to help them.

When everything was complete, Tulca-Noen used a simple Force-jump to return to the ground. Asa looked mildly surprised, but did not ask about it. The Jedi figured that a jump from such a height was probably not the strangest thing the little feline had seen here.

Link to their pride or group: Oasis Basin
Prompt Choice: A
Prompt:
The arrival to this plain had been a strange one. Being pulled from where you rule over into an unknown land of trees and beasts Suen found himself powerless for the first time since creation. The once moon god now but a mortal lion like those who lived in his realm. This had placed the small lion into state of shock the night of the battle.

Before him now stood a large yet damaged tree. Supposedly the guardian of this world and the one to call them here in the first place. Broken by the recent storm he watched as cats and lions scrambled to help repair its branches. While others were only focused on prepering for another possible attack. Suen was suspicious of this land from the moment he awoke. Witnessing a member of Oasis Basin's pride follow a group of cats deeper into the forest he struggled hard to not detour his followers choice.

Watching as they worked the moon god felt himself at a crossroads once more this day, but ultimately decided upon helping the tree. Without his senses from the Oasis he wasn't sure what or who to trust, but just standing by was never his strongest trait. Ears tuned to the lone feline giving out instruction he braced branch after branch amongst strangers.

Link to their pride or group: Frostbite Fields
Prompt Choice: A
Prompt: Ferd and Yuki awoke in their usual sleeping pile, after the battle that had been fought last night Ferd had been especially noisy and twitchy with his ears, tail, and feet. However Yuki had been lulled asleep from the sounds of the storm that reminded her of the raging winds and snowstorms back home. Lifting her head from Ferdinand's paws, she rose to peer arounds; Returning to her companion she patted his ears to alert him it was time to awaken. Ferdinand rose to the occasion after being rudely aroused by his queen, yawning and showing his teeth he shook his frame cascading a few stray hairs from his pelt and blinking nonchalantly to convey knowing the work expected of a grunt. The damage was much more noticeable in the field and from the Trinity Tree itself. He spotted a stranger then usual looking cat wandering around, bounding up to it it seems to notice he was there and asked him for help "Sure." he said watching the cat work closely and explain the work while he learned what to do.

Yuki finally padded up to join him, listening intently before leaping up the tree so she could learn from Ferdinand as they went gathering the branches; She pondered as she worked "Do you think anything bigger broke off? Someone could be trapped and us not know it." she paused "Don't you think?" but the cat at the moment didn't seem all that worried. Perhaps there was more to the Trinty Tree then she and her companion were aware of.

Link to their pride or group: Pekee Pamoja
Prompt Choice: C (223 Words)
Prompt:

SPACESuha looked up at the caretaker. Asa, she had said. Fix the tree branches? What an odd request. Suha looked up at the cat in the tree. The goddess could understand wanting to make repairs, fix up the tree after the storm. But the fight had barely begun. Minor damage after a storm was the least of their problems right now. Besides, the tree would only suffer more damage when the real fight came to them. She shook her head.
SPACE"With the threat of the enemy, we have more pressing matters."
SPACE"I understand we have the army to worry about, but the tree-"
SPACE"Will only see more damage. If you wish to repair the tree, then so be it. But I cannot waste my time and energy fixing something that is bound to be broken and see more damage when the army does make it's assault here. Perhaps you will find others with kinder hearts than mine to fix the branches with you."
SPACEWith that, she turned away from Asa to return to the underground city. She had training to do. Perhaps it would be useful to prepare the tree. No reinforcement is too small when it came to a war, but it was just branches of the tree and not the roots blocking the city or something more prevalent to their defense.

Link to their pride or group: Worm
Prompt Choice: C
Prompt:
Worm narrowed her eyes at the guardian who asked for her help.

"We really don't have time to help you repair a tree. There's gonna be another battle soon enough and we have to make sure we're prepared for what's coming." Worm snapped. Did all the guardians worry about something this frivolous? No wonder they needed champions to help them fight their battles. The guardian seemed to bristle a bit, surely offended by Worm's words, until Aluraune stepped in to soothe as she loved to do for her own benefit.

"Come on, Dear Worm," She started. Worm's claws sank into the ground with anger at her fake affection. "I'm sure this guardian is working on something just as important. It wouldn't be a harm to step and help for a little bit would it?"

"It's a waste of time and energy! We need to be for training for battle so we can prevent unnecessary injuries the next time we're out there!" Worm snapped, stomping away. Aluraune, who was normally skilled in appealing to and handling just about anyone, really had no skills in handling Worm. Aluraune sighed as she turned to the guardian.

"I'm so sorry for her. She's gets a little... Volatile when she's stressed." Aluraune apologized. "Maybe, I'll be able to convince her to come back a little later." The guardian nodded, a little gruff from the interaction. Aluraune turned and followed Worm's path. That cat really had no sense of appealing to others, did she?

Link to their pride or group: Summitfall Pride
Prompt Choice: A

Prompt: Subira itched to get out there and find Ichyr, but she sighed and nodded. Though she hated to admit it, she’d be of more use here with Asa rather than finding Ichyr, who had gone off to who knows where. “I’ll help you,” she said.
SPACEThe navy-colored cat beckoned with her tail. Subira couldn’t help being amused at being bossed around by a creature a quarter of her size as she followed Asa up into the canopy of branches. It was a little tougher for Subira to move about in the net of branches, but she managed to find places big enough for her lion body.
SPACEAsa handed her a small one-handled bowl filled with a neon green sludge. “This will repair the branches,” she explained. “Just spread a thin layer over the broken point, and this mixture will do the rest.”
SPACESubira shrugged. May as well give it a shot. She made her way over to a bigger bough where it had been broken in half, the other end dangling by a thin strip of bark. She wrapped her hind legs around the branch and let her torso hang over the edge. Grabbing the branch with her forepaws, Subira hoisted it back up to its proper position. She then dribbled some of the sludge onto the broken edges, watching as it sealed up the crack and repaired the bark. Subira let the branch go and stood up, then made her way back to the trunk to see if there was more she could do.

[Goddess Sword]

Username: Goddess Sword
Link to cat(s) or lion(s) involved in prompt: Beatrix
Link to their pride or group: The Wayfarers
Prompt Choice: B
Prompt:

After the goddess's visit, Beatrix had remained in the tree for some time. Though she could have climbed down easily now, her leg healed, she stayed perched in its branches, gazing across the fields in search of some sign of her missing friend.

None came. But she had to try, at least. She couldn't simply leave him.

Her attention was finally drawn from the distant horizon by a soft grunt from behind her, a third presence in the tree alongside herself and the goddess, wherever she had slipped away to. Beatrix turned to find another cat, with deep blue fur and gently glowing eyes, pawing at a branch that hung somewhat loosely from the trunk. Carefully, she lifted it back into place and wrapped it with a sheet of fabric, and then twisted a rope around the limb, which she knotted around the far side of the trunk and pulled tight with the end still gripped between her teeth in a makeshift sling. She puffed a few torn fibers out of her mouth and then turned to face another branch... and almost lost her balance when she noticed Beatrix standing before her. "Ah! You... You're in the tree," she said.

"Ah... yeah," Beatrix said sheepishly. "I was looking for my fr-"

"Hm! Well, since you're here," the cat interrupted (though Beatrix suspected she wasn't really listening in the first place), gesturing to her handiwork, "would you mind helping me with these branches? The storm last night caused a fair deal of damage. Some of them may have to be pruned, but I believe we might yet be able to save the others."

Beatrix hesitated. "Like with the sling you made?" she asked.

"Oh, good, you were watching! That simplifies things significantly!" the cat smiled. "There are extra materials on the third-lowest branch on the west side; they're a bit heavy, but I think that you should..." Then she paused, gazing at the brace around Beatrix's leg. "Ah... Are you actually well enough to be in the tree in the first place?"

"Huh?" Beatrix glanced at her leg herself, and two and two came together. "Ah, no, yeah, I'm, uh... I don't actually... need this any more. I... healed a lot faster than expected." What was she supposed to say? That she'd met with the goddess, and she had healed her dislocated knee? Would anyone even believe that? She'd been here so little time, she hardly knew what sort of relationship the cats of this world had with their deity, much less what sort of relationship the goddess normally had with outsiders (if she had any at all). So she brushed it off quickly. "You said the west side, right?"

The cat nodded, her smile returning. "Yes. I'm Asa, by the way. One of the caretakers of the great tree."

"Bia," Beatrix responded. "It's nice to meet you."

"Likewise!" Asa blinked pleasantly at the younger feline. "The branches above are smaller, better suited to a cat your size; if you can handle those, I should be able to take care of the ones at the base."

"I think that I can do that," Beatrix agreed, and slipped down the tree in search of some fabric and rope of her own.

Prompt Choice: A
Prompt:

[208/200]

Chetan blinked up at Asa, a little surprised by how similar she seemed to the tree. Was it coincidence, or did she have a stronger connection to the great tree than the other guardians? "Of course I can help." He responded. He leapt up the trinity tree with ease, though he was careful not to scratch it up too much. It seemed to be a vessel of some sort for the goddess, he doubted she would like it very much if there were leopard scratches all over its bark. As soon he was close to Asa, his great green cape snagged on one of the branches, briefly choking the poor leopard.

He chuckled awkwardly, turning to untangle it. "Guess I should have taken it off..." Chetan turned back to Asa, who seemed to be doing her very best not to laugh. Well, at least she was being considerate. "What do you need me to do?"

Asa instructed him on how to hold the branches while she healed them with a bit of magic. There was still a scar of sorts where they had been broken before, but she told him that they would fade in time, leaving the branch to continue growing and giving life to the tree.
