Prompt: still wip i might write a lil story if i find the motivation

When you ask someone, “who do you look up to most in the world?” you’d probably expect their answer to be some wise old cat who has seen everything and can answer all your questions about life. However, Brightcloud will tell you differently. The cat that she looks up to the most is Mangokit, a stubborn little kitten who made a long journey to find his new home in Orchidclan. Now, why does Brightcloud look up to a kitten, you might ask? Despite his young age, Mangokit is very strong and brave; he traveled an incredibly long distance from a place of sandy beaches and salty water, only to stumble upon Orchidclan territory like he owns the place- all that at only four moons old! Brightcloud can only hope to someday have the same amount of perseverance and strength that Mangokit holds.

Cat Name: Mangosplash
Gender: She-Cat
Rank: Warrior
Clan: Owlclan
Age: 42 Moons | 3 Years Old
Flag: Transgender
Prompt: Mangosplash actually looks up to Sleekhaze because even blind, Sleekhaze has worked very very hard to achieve her dream to become a Sentinel and earn herself plenty of respect. This cat learned to adapt to her disability and 'see' the world without her eyes and still be a strong warrior and protector for the clan. She is a constant calming presence and keeps her cool even in the worse situations, and Owlstar highly respects her.

Prompt:
Dalapó looks up to Ndunzi. “Zi” taught her to be proud of herself. She had struggled with feeling different and almost like an imposter. Zi had found her wandering around after Dalapó had left her old clan. He taught her to be proud of herself and that she doesn’t need to change for others.

Flag: Just the rainbow!
Prompt:
With the stars twinkling in the night sky, the depths of her heart ached as a shade of lovely hazel danced to the little lights in the sea of darkness. An heir to the throne, life has been twisted in so many ways. The responsibility. The expectation. She hated it all.

Oh, how she wished, she could fly away from the place she once knew as home, like the birds in the sky. She would give up just about anything to be like them. How she wished, she could run free, like the cats in the legends.

The legends. The stories. The ones that had always stuck out to her, were the ones that told about felines who would dance across fields of flowers. Oh, so freely. It contrasted with life in The Towers. Where no flowers bloomed. Where freedom was ceased from the paws of every cat. Even, her.

The heir of the throne.

War had ravaged through The Towers, the place she once knew as home. Leaving desolate, a place of disaster and ruins. The beauty of the land had been snatched away from them, never to be seen again.

Run, coward. Run.

The words haunt her every waking hour. The light of the morning had refused to shine upon them ever since a rebellion rose from the ashes. At least, there was still a ray of sunshine left in her soul, Adeena. The light of her world. The sister, she loved with an unshakable love. The doomsday events had brought them even closer than they had ever been before. But, today. Today, she would tell her something that would shake her beloved sister to her very core.

Heart shattering like glass, tears swelled in the depths of her eyes. Sorrow laced her features, emotion sinking in deep. It was something her mother would have looked down upon.

A melodious voice bloomed into a reality.

“Ilaria!” It was a light-hearted chime, despite the tragedy she was drowning in.

‘Adeena.”

Letting her eyes flutter shut to layer a composed expression upon her features, her breaths came as short gasps as all her efforts crumbled like castles of sand.

“Ilaria.” The soft voice of her sister danced into a living reality as the blonde figure pressed, comfortingly, against hers. Forming a spiral of fire and the seaside. “Please, tell me what’s wrong.”

A tear cascaded down her cheeks, disappearing as a dark blemish in the withered grass that swayed beneath her toes.

Breathe.

“Have you ever wondered what life would be like away from..” Trailing off, her gaze was diverted from the soft violet ones of her sister. Shame caressed the fire in her veins, it’s coldness seizing the warmth of the flames that dwelled in her heart.

“The Towers?” Silence was at its full majesty as Adeena’s blonde fur brushed against hers. “Many times, Ilaria. It’s nothing to be ashamed about.” The voice of her sister was so sweet, so reassuring. Something, she would never possess.

“I need to leave, Adeena.” Desperation laced her voice as a shade of hazel flitted back to the fragile, blonde stature of the one she loved so dearly.

The rosy lips of the she-cat tightened, then there was a nod. “If you go, I’ll go with you.” Was that determination in Adeena’s voice? It couldn’t be. Could it? She couldn’t risk losing her. Never.

"Listen to me, Adeena. You can’t come.” Heart shattering like glass, the winds seemed to howl in despair at her words. “This journey isn’t for you. You were always destined to be the heir of the throne. It was never me.” To her dismay, there was a shake of her sister’s head.

“Every beat of my heart belongs to you, Ilaria. No one, else. I will be at your side, wherever you go, for even death can’t drive us apart.”

A pause. Voice torn and shaken, it took all her strength to muster up the courage to say what needed to be said.

“Then, let’s go.”

--

Moons and moons had flown in and out of existence. Bones screaming every graceful step she took, the strained breaths of her sister was a pain to hear. This place wasn’t somewhere a fragile, young cat was supposed to be. She was growing weaker, now. Hope seemed to be dwindling as the seasons fluttered by. It was hopeless. The only place left to cross was the ocean. The place of the deep.

“Adeena?”

The blonde, dainty figure’s head lifted.

“It’s time.”

The waves of the deep water made her stomach churn. Yet, somewhere deep within her, there was no fear, just a distant feeling of numbness. Dipping her paws in the ocean, a ripple sprung into motion, gracefully moving across the surface of the water. For a moment, all was so peaceful. Too good, to be true.

How far she had come.

Submerging herself in the ocean, the salty tang of the water hit her, fast.

“Ilaria?”

The call for her brought her back into the center of reality, her sister. Letting the elegant sway of her legs slow, a blonde flicker of motion flashed at the corner of her vision. “I’m here!” Her voice rang out above the crash of the waves, she couldn’t bear the thought of losing Adeena, through the chaos. This was only the beginning.

“There you are.” The relieved sigh of her sister was music to her ears, a hummingbird’s song. “I couldn’t find you for a moment.” A small trace of a smile graced her lips. “I’ll always be here for you, Adeena. Never forget that.”

A gray flicker bloomed in her vision. What is it? Drawing in closer to observe it in closer detail, it all came to her in a flash. It was a shark. A shriek exploded into the air, but it wasn’t her own.

“No!”

A blur of golden streaked through the air, barreling into the muscled figure.

Crimson and horror was at its full majesty as the two figures grappled. It felt as if ice had frozen the blood in her veins. Only a single cry was heard.

“Swim, Ilaria! Swim!”

Then, the light of her world went under. Into the waters that were stained red with blood.

No, no, no.

This couldn’t be happening.

Heart crying out as despair suffocated her very breath, the weight of the world was upon her shoulders. It was a battle between life and death.

Go on, my dear sister. Swim.

The soft, gentle voice of the one she had lost, was still present in the midst of grief and chaos.

Oh, Adeena.

Then, alas, the shore greeted her with open arms, whispering in her ear that it’ll be alright, that she was where she was supposed to be.

It was all twisted. Too real, to be true. The one she adored and looked up to was gone. Yet, deep within her soul, she knew she would come face to face with her again. And, when that day comes, she would dance among the stars.

Cat Name: Flamepaw
Gender: Tom
Rank: Medicine Cat Apprentice
Clan: Cypressclan
Age: 1 years old (12 moons)
Flag: demiromantic
Prompt:
This tom use to sneak into the medicine cat den as a kit observing and listening to the medicine cat. At the time the medicine cat was Wishleaf and the apprentice was Stumppaw. When he was six moons Wishleaf past away rushing Stumppaw into becoming Stumpwish. This moved her to struggle slightly as she was only 12 moons old and learning the ways of the clan. Still, Flamepaw looked up to her as she always had a smile on her face no matter what and seemed happy no matter what. She perseveres to show that even if she was a loner once she no longer is and deserves to be in the clan. As Flamepaw was training he would almost constantly sneak off to be with Stumpwish whether he just sat listening and watching her or helped her collect herbs he loved it. This caused him to be in constant trouble with his mentor who soon talked to Streamstar saying they could no longer train him. Though she didn't want to give Stumpwish an apprentice so soon she spoke it over with the she-cat and she accepted. As she noticed how interested the young tom is with her role in the clan. She also couldn't help but noticed how much he seemed to look up to her and wanted to be like her.
