Everything about Murksong’s posture spoke of tension, even as he focused on gathering the little bundle of herbs he’d managed to accumulate over today’s travels. And the bugs. There were always the bugs. Really not their favourite food to eat - if given the chance any form of actual meal was the tabby’s go-to, hence gathering even the smallest of scraps that still clung to bone - but desperate times called for desperate measures.

That’s when he heard it. The sound of pawsteps in the brush. Those… they were too light to be the steps of a hound, too careful to be those of a fox. They’d been right. Another cat. He cleared his throat, voice raspy at first from the lack of use. ”Hello? Is anyone-

His words got cut off when the stranger emerged, an oddly strained grin on their face even as they patted him on the shoulder. He kept quiet as they explained, even going so far as to give (bribe him with?) some herbs and a bug they’d gathered.

Now, usually, Murksong was a hard one to gain the trust of. They’d grown up not being able to trust anything, not even the ground beneath their feet. There was just something about this cat’s tone though, the edge of desperation that laced their words. He couldn’t just leave them alone in a world like this, nor could he deny their request. Looks like they had a mission to do. He nodded, giving the stranger the smallest of smiles. ”Yeah. Alright.” He turned his head towards one of the larger buildings in town. If they remembered correctly, they’d heard rumours it used to be some big mall or something. ”Do you have any ideas where she might be? I know a few shortcuts around that might be of help.”

But tonight, her world seemed to falter.

Every step was dreamlike, soft and blurred, fraying like the delicate ends of a feather. Reality and fantasy each bleeding into each other, until… until she wasn’t sure where one ended. And the other began.

Light and shapes collided, merging into one. The long, undulating fronds of spinifex sunk into the ground like a sodden mass, its once gold spindles drained of color. Even the stars dimmed, glow lost to the ink of the night.

This wasn’t right.

Her head spun, the stars a mocking, dizzying halo around her. Something was off. No, something was wrong. She was in a dream masquerading as a nightmare. Living an illusion on the brink of collapse. Her claws scrabbled at the sands, grasping for purchase.

She found none. Only the snap of a stick crunched under her weight and the faintest whiff of aged prey greeted her. So faint that… she had to bury her nose close to it. Just to make sure. (+1FP scraps, +1 stick)

The halo was back. This time, the spiral strands became hazy, dimmer, yet they still danced ━ a sickening spin with no end. Her stomach churned, restless and unsettled, head spinning like the world around her. And like a shooting star lost in orbit…

She was falling.

Falling to the sands that slipped through her paws, sands once russet, now pale ━ ghostly. Falling to the kiss of cool, solid ground beneath her. Falling into the darkness that welcomed her-

“Emberstorm?” The voice seemed like a distant echo, a light, lyrical song a million light years away. “Stars, Emberstorm?”

Her eyes fluttered open. And for a breath’s pause, shadows and light parted to reveal a presence beside her.

Before it all melted away. (emberstorm is sick! </3)


✦✦✦


The gentle scent of gum trees and the promise of warmth coaxed her awake, pulling her from the dregs of her slumber.

She was back. Back… in the hollow of her gum tree. She blinked, curling closer to herself, under the cool silk of a… blanket? Her head ached, but the nauseating spin had faded. Mostly. Enough to trace the azure silks strewn with intricate sweeps of gold and silver embroidery. Not just any blanket, a… picnic blanket.

… Furzetuft.

She forced herself up and a small weight slipped from the blanket. Her paws grasped around the hollow, until the cool metal of a little trinket laced her claws. A silver locket with a pale, crescent charm… (+1 common myo! <3)

And a scarlet ribbon adorned in gold lettering. A note.


✦ From Furzetuft: I hope you feel better, my friend! I was passing by to say hello, but well… things happened. Let’s just say, you gave me quite the scare! I brought you back home and did what I could, but you may need to take a sprig of lavender to help with that headache. I’m sorry I couldn’t stay longer ─ I would have loved to tell you about my latest travels ─ but I hope my gift makes up for it. Maybe it’ll keep you busy! c:

(Emberstorm is sick and needs +1 lavender to heal!)✦

the stranger’s head wavered, eyes as downcast as the tears of the skies above plummeted like doves. “i don’t, my friend - we lost each other in a-”

the monsters of the universe… they were dancing in the nethers below. their withering cries kindling a lilting flame within the sienna palette of the earth below. they writhed as if the indigo shadows had swallowed them whole. their eyes fluttering… an endless abyss of ink as they devoured ash and cinders. as they shook the wisps of angelic halos above and everything beneath.

“what’s happening?” an aura of panic adorned the delicate drawl of the stranger’s voice, starry eyes as wide as two crescent moons. “what’s that-”

the monsters rumbled once more, a throaty melody as the ashen city shook, falling apart in thick foliage and pearly moths descended like the presence of divine beings in a place of eternal darkness.
(+1fp [bugs], +1 catmint, +2exp)

“it’s an earthquake.” voice even like the calm before the howl of a bellowing storm, he beckoned the starry-eyed stranger close. they couldn’t afford to lose each other… not now. “it’s not a serious one, though… i’m certain it’ll be over, soon.”

it was as if the monsters of the universe heard their song… and chose cruelty.
“please… i-is anyone there?” a songbird lyric in an ashen world, it was a shivering rose in the hush. a sliver of sweetness as the monsters shuddered once more.

“furzetuft! is that you?” laced with a silver thread of hope, the stranger wandered to the melody of the songbird lyric, almost balancing upon a dream. “furzetuft!”

and there like an angel that had fallen to the earth below… she was there. furzetuft. but stained upon her daffodil and rust, was petals of carmine and vermillion. “stars… you are hurt.”

(fennel’s friend has been found! however she’s been injured by the earthquake :c she needs one herb to help with her injuries! will murkstar help her or turn her down?

His dark curls trembled.

And those eyes ━ eyes so lofty and arrogant before ━ cut from the cynical blue of ice now wavered, darting to his paws. “I…I-”

Something in her snapped. That darkness writhing inside, a caged beast pounding like a jackhammer upon her… finally slipped. And like the soft pop of a flame crackling to life, she lunged. The chapped breeze fueled her, breathing the very lifeblood needed to create a raging creature that couldn’t be contained. And she was just that. A beast.

It was almost too easy.

One shove and the rogue’s paws slipped, crumbling beneath him. His breath caught as her claws trapped him, snaring him underneath her weight. The tiny sting of his claws against her cheek was nothing. A flailing attempt from someone who’d already lost. (-5% health from rogue attack ━ miststar may continue patrolling without herbs or rest!)

No, that… that wasn’t right.

Her grasp loosened, the curve of her claws sheathing as she faltered. The dark ebony of his curls beneath her seemed to shrink, small and fragile, the outline of his ribs so prominent against his chest. And those eyes… hollowed and sunken from hunger; marred from the merciless claws of another beast. Had he always been this small? He was… barely an adult. An apprentice.

A terrified, lost soul. One who was so so hungry that he was willing to risk everything for a little of something.

“I-I’m so sorry. I-I didn’t mean it. I swear.” He swallowed, a grimace twisted on his muzzle. “Here, take it. Take all of it.” (+1FP shrew)

With a shake of her head, she eased off from him. “Hey, look, I’m… sorry. I’ve just had a bad day and━ wait! Where are you going?”

He was running. Like a drop of ink in the night, the rogue fled. A disappearing speck, dwindling into a churning abyss with every passing second. His legs were wings draped in hooded shadows, swift and silent in-flight. And he wasn’t stopping.

“Wait! Hold on━”

But this time, the stars graced his flight. Her paws slid and a grunt wrenched from her throat as her stomach slammed into the sprawling root of a tree. (-4% health for miststar [random injury] ━ she may continue patrolling without herbs or rest!)

Breath arrested, she lifted her head, sparing one final glance towards the forest. Towards the twisting sprawl of shadows welcoming that young rogue back into a world of dimmed lights and eclipsed moons. A world home to the lost, the forgotten, the outcasts. The… misunderstood.

But just for this one, she sent a silent prayer to the stars. To guide him home. To a true home. (rogue has left territory!)

Hello! I recently came back to CS after a hiatus and am also continuing my Stars clan. My last (and only) post was in 2020, so welcome back LilyClan!

Lilystar woke up from her night's slumber, tossing her red pelt and stretching out her tired muscles. Well, a cat couldn't feed itself without some work put in, so she convinced herself to get out of the few pieces of moss she'd managed to gather for a nest and stepped out of the tree roots forming her den. Lilystar looked around the shaded clearing she called home, and stepped out of it to take a short walk to the nearby lake (to get a drink) and search the forest for prey (for food). She would probably be able to hold off her hunger for a short while longer, but before long she would need something to eat. She jogged through the forest, looking adoringly up at the tall spruce trees she loved so.

now that aeron had established herself in a small territory it was time for her to head out and explore. before the rest of her pack could join her it had to be deemed suitable for the princess.

leaving the small burrow she called home aeron headed left further into the woods. she trotted softly under the overhanging branches while listening to anything out of the ordinary. the sound of moving water began to grow louder as she continued on and knowing how valuable it would be to the clan, aeron decided to head towards it.
