Cat Name: Duskcloud
Clan: AsterClan
Rank: Warrior

Gender: Female
Age: 28 Moons

Prompt:






The starry night was starting- all the good amber, warm tones taken over by the dusky blue. The sunset had already began. Duskcloud was steadying her paws - almost time to go home. Ah, quiet. So peaceful.
The peace was broken by the sound of a swishing tail against grass.
"So, Duskcloud? I have a question! Rainfang told me you the one who found the Log!" Oh, it was Larkpaw. Strange of him to be alone out here at night - and certainly against the Thistlestar's rules, might she add - but it wouldn't hurt to answer his question.
"Strange of you to come at this hour, Larkpaw," he inquired - and before she were able to finish, Larkpaw had squeaked, "Ah, I'm sorry! I was just having an argument, and you know how Smokepaw can be..."
She shushed him. "It's alright. I was just teasing. Oh, the Log? Of course I have... that wasn't too long ago..."

I just need some space. Duskpaw trudged through the forest alone. Technically she wasn't supposed to go at this hour, but she figured nobody noticed. After a day of chit-chat, she was glad to be alone with her thoughts - at first.
What if a fox attacks? Or a rouge sneaks in? Or... she shook her head. You've got to stop this, Duskpaw! Get yourself together--
Ack! How did she not notice an entire log in her way? "Ergh. Get out of the way!" Logs don't react, Duskpaw.
To be fair... it was a nice log. And it just so happened to be in the perfect place to rest... Perhaps she could just stay here and rest for a moment?





"Wake up, Duskpaw!" What? Rainpaw?
"Ah, Rainpaw - I can explain!" she managed to squeak out before scrambling to her paws. "Don't--"
"Pff. You think I'm a rat, Duskpaw? Insulted!" he purred. "Eh- don't fall on me!"
"Okay!" she huffed as she attempted to stand still on the log. "...You promise?"
"Of course. You better be glad I found you before dawn, though!"

After that, the log became a... special place for her. To get away from the rush of life. Not that she minded being social and active, mind you...
Once in a while, it wasn't terrible to just sit... and watch. Who knew how many pretty beetles there were? The many kinds of birds? When you either ignore or kill, you don't notice. And that's what she loved doing. Noticing.

Perhaps her warrior name was partly due to that. She seemed to drift around like a cloud.
She'd forgotten about her place at first; life had taken its hold after being a warrior.





Yet she couldn't help but smile sometimes.

Prompt:
x x x xRainwhisper’s secret place is a clearing in the northwestern part of the territory. It’s technically outside of the borders, passed the iconic Murky Skypool and takes less than half a day to get to for most adult cats. Circular and surrounded by mature oak and maple trees, the clearing itself lacks anything inanimate and the forest floor is covered in ragged-robins and clover blossoms, dyeing the clearing in a pink-purple tone. During the warmer seasons, a variety of butterflies is attracted to the clearing. Rainhwisper has only shared this place with one other cat, Mavis-star.

__________________________________________________

“I have something to show you.”
Lost words echoing in her heart, the words he had uttered once upon a time.

x x x xAfter many moons, she found herself lingering there once more. Amongst a clearing of ragged-robins and clover blossoms, ringed by oaks and maples that towered above her, shielding her from the endless sky. The blazing light of the sun turned her pelt russet and the breeze that buffeted against her pelt scattered the loose petals, twirling around her. Butterflies flapped against the current, staying afloat and flitting about their lives. Peaceful tranquility overwhelmed her as her senses took in everything.

x x x x“It’s been awhile since you’ve been here,” a voice prodded gently, barely above a whisper. Her eyes opened and with a slight turn, she faced a cat made entirely of stars. The colors had long since been diluted from his pelt, but his eyes shone with mirth and passion. Purring gently, she brushed against him, her dark tabby-and-white pelt making contact with the starlight. Closing her eyes and feeling his presence against her, she bathed in his scent which now carried a variety of others from distant lands.

x x x xConsumed, she let herself remember the times of moons ago. The memories of before BournClan, of meeting a strange tom who lived in the lands, and of falling in love. Finding this place, the paradise of two lovebirds who only had eyes for one another in this strange world. Echoing in her mind, she remembered one particular night, the night they promised eternity. Under a full moon, playing amongst the flowers, rolling around and disturbing the fireflies that danced in the air. “Stay with me,” he had whispered in her ear. Twining her tail with his, she promised, “Always and forever.”

x x x xRemembering the battles that tore them apart. The one that took his life, and the grief that had consumed her heart. The feeling of being eternally soaked in rain, muddied and broken, protecting the clearing that held everything she had loved. The arguments that followed the establishment of BournClan, south of where she had been. “I think you should join them,” he had told her on one of those long-forgotten, stormy days.
x x x x“ I can’t leave this place. This is our home, I need to protect it or you would have died for nothing,” she told him, not looking up.
x x x x“You need to find happiness,” he responded gently.
x x x x“You were my happiness! And now you’re gone,” she snapped, as her voice cracked with sadness. “This is all I have left.”
x x x x“If you join them, you can have them help you--”
x x x x“No! No one must know about this place! This is ours,” she hissed. “I will protect it with my life.”

x x x xShe remembered the defeat of giving into what he had to say. Of traveling to BournClan, of standing before Mavis-star and becoming one with the clan. “Greetings traveller, I am Mavis-star, the leader of BournClan. What is your name?” . . .“I, Mavis-star of BournClan, welcome this cat. Your name from this day forth will be Rainwhisper, for the rain you arrived in and the storm that consumes your heart.”

x x x x“Are you happy?” asked the starry tom gently. Overwhelmed, Rainwhisper took a breath and let it out, opening her eyes. “I am,” she said, blinking. “I truly am, but I will never forget the time I was with you.” With a purr, the starry tom was satisfied. “Then you know what you have to do,” his voice carried over the breeze as he faded away. Rainwhisper dipped her head and with a shake of her pelt, she followed her heart.

x x x xIn BournClan’s camp, cats went about their business, but Rainwhisper had her eyes set on one particular cat. The gray tabby sitting on the High Ledge, observing everything. Her hazel eyes flickered over to the approaching dark tabby-and-white she-cat. “Rainwhisper,” the gray tabby greeted with a small smile. “How may I assist you?” With a bow of her head, Rainwhisper looked up at her leader with a determined look in her eyes and, as he had once said to her, she uttered one sentence, “I have something to show you.”

x x x xTraveling in silence, Rainwhisper traced back the route she knew so well. The clearing she knew the memories she held, she would share them with her leader. If she were to fall, she knew that her leader would cherish this place in her stead. Pelts brushing against the vegetation, the two cats emerged in the place she had stood with him hours before. “I saw this place in my dreams once long ago,” Mavis-star mused. “I never knew where it was, but I see now that this place is the one you and him held very fondly in your hearts.”
x x x x“Yes, it is.” Rainwhisper’s eyes shone with a fond passion. "Rain would have been proud of how far you’ve come, he wanted to keep you safe from the beginning, visiting me and asking for help. He wouldn’t give up until you joined us.” Rainwhisper blinked, shocked by the out-of-the-blue comment. Still, she gave in to purring in amusement. “I can believe that. That’s why I want to give him the peace of mind that his life wasn’t for nothing and that this place will remain safe..”
“It will, I will make sure of that with my last breath,” her leader assured her. Rainwhisper dipped her head. “Thank you, Mavis-star.”
