    CATS OF THE DESERT !!
    xwhovian5eva archive last post

    Her world fell into a deathly hush.

    Winds silenced, heartbeats muted, sands still. Frostbite settled into her bones, grinding the soft marrow to liquid oil. Only one sound pierced Onyxdream’s ears ━ a single, keening howl, wailing like a siren. And at her periphery, she could just envision it.

    The flame-tinted canine lunging, saliva slithering like silver serpents and jaws snapping shut. Pulling at a soft, exposed throat like plucking petals from a wildflower. Gentle sage eyes dulling, the starry glow fading━

    “Watch out!” With a breathless gasp, she barrelled into the honeyed form beside her. As her back surfed upon copper grit and grime, a shadowed canine leaped over like a meteor caught in gravity’s pull. Silver drool smeared her cheek and she coughed, turning to witness- witness whatever came next. Was it enough?

    The canine’s jaws snapped upon a ghost ━ the faint, blurred remnants of a different timeline, where a certain medicine cat should have been. In another realm, in another time, in another place, perhaps that snap would have rocked her world. But it didn’t. (predator chose violence attacked!)

    Instead, another took its place. A dragon slained by a dog, its grave marked by a shredded wildflower. (+3FP bearded dragon, +1 daisy leaf)

    Claws raked across the canine’s muzzle, scarlet ribbons blooming across its face. Sunbeam growled, a soft rumble breaking from his throat and claws painted red, so unlike the soft-spoken angel she knew.

    But it worked.

    And as she rolled to her paws, the canine fled, backlit like a comet’s tail with a new trajectory. (predator has been defeated/fled territory!)

    those champagne eyes faltered ever-so slightly, like a waning crescent moon as a hush bloomed upon the lips of the stranger. “she can’t be far-- maybe she’s somewhere around here-”

    and like a lonely songbird whose lullabies dappled the evening with a demure glow, the hush dwindled to the lilt of her voice. “fennel? fennel? are you-”

    “furzetuft?”

    luminous with daffodil and earthy curls, starry eyes adorned the dark, wavering to the rhythm of a flinch. fennel was upon her in a moment. “are you alright? what happened?”

    “i’m okay, fennel.” she grunted a little, starry eyes fluttering shut as she took a shuddering breath. “i just got stuck in a nightshade bush. not the most ideal circumstances, don’t you think?” a soft, delicate chuckle blossomed in the distant hush. “on the bright side i found a pretty flower and some bug friends.”
    (+1fp [bugs], +1fp [bugs], +1 common myo. +1 deadly nightshade, the patrol has found fennel’s friend, however she got stuck in a nightshade bush and is injured, she needs one herb [any]. does the patrol help or turn them down?)

    “my friend… he’s a strange one.” the wilting lilt of her laughter bloomed ever-so quietly in the hush. “but if you really he’s very little and has tiny freckles on his nose.”

    “he also loves garlic… like adores garlic. says it’s his spirit plant or something.” those starry eyes light up for a moment as if recounting a dwindling memory, a mercurial high as a hush descended upon the patrol. “i think i have some actually…”

      Tick chuckled, lighthearted. "Look, I didn't want grumpy old Gull dulling the adventure."
      Finch snorted, but shuffled to hide behind Tick's rump as Otter shot both of them a look. "I know his attitude can be annoying, but it's not right to talk about him like that behind his back."
      Tick glanced down at Finch, then back at Otter. "You're right. I'm setting a bad example, sorry."
      Otter nodded, satisfied.

      Stoat smiled at Finch. "Why don't you grab up those fish, little one?"
      Finch nodded and scampered to the fish, scooping two of the fish up, and staring at the third, mouth full. Tick scooped it up, and the pair trailed behind Stoat and Otter as they made their way back to the river crossing.
      As expected, Gull and Chipmunk rested in the shade of a tree on the other side of the riverbank, a large rabbit beside them. Chipmunk's tail swatted absentmindedly over the prey, keeping the pestering flies clear.

      Otter glanced back at the others. "Same as last time?" He called out, and the group nodded. Otter waded out into the waters, apparently not struggling against the strong rapids. Then again, his name was Otter. Fitting.

      Stoat paused at the water's edge, her toes being licked by the splashing water. She hesitated, fur bristling slightly before glancing back at the pair behind her. "Why don't you two go first?"

      Tick glanced down at Finch, her large blue eyes wide and fearful. He dropped the fish on the sand and leant down so his muzzle was beside her ear. "Come on little bird, hop up on my back. I'll keep you safe."
      Still, the kit hesitated.
      "Come on Finch, it'll be just like coming across."

      Finally, the kit nodded, jaws still clamped around her own two fish. Finch smiled gently, before dropping his shoulders down so she could clamber onto his back easier. Tick winced as Finch's little claws dug into his neck ruff, but he scooped up the fish and padded towards the water. He glanced at Stoat, noting the worry in her eyes, before he waded into the water. The current tugged at his legs and he nearly lost his footing, but he managed to get a better grip on the slippery rocks beneath the surface. The further across he waded, the higher the water reached until it was tugging at the fur on his chest, and eventually his shoulders. He glanced to his side, noting he was roughly halfway across - nearly paralell to where Otter stood downstream.

      "Nearly there!" Otter called out, encouraging.
      Finch glanced back to where Gull and Chipmunk now stood, before his already sore paw slipped against a rock and his head plunged into the water.

      He tumbled, bubbles careening past his ears and into his eyes as the water pushed and pulled. To his horror he felt Finch lose her grip in his pelt, her light weight instantly disappearing into the water. His limbs thrashed, seeking purchase, but he had no way to tell which way was up and which was down. If it wasn't for the fish still somehow clamped in his jaws, he would've gasped for breath. After what felt like hours, he felt his shoulder slam against a rock and clambered for some grip against it, and finally managed to pull his head above the water, coughing and spluttering as he gasped for air, dropping the fish against the rock.

      "Tick!" Gull cried, followed quickly by calls from several of the other cats.
      Tick coughed, blinking water from his eyes as he looked around, suddenly remembering Finch. "Finch?" He cried, just about ready to punge back into the water.
      "She's fine! She's over here." He heard Stoat cry somewhere behind him as he tried to get his bearings.
      He felt a tug at his and turned to see Gull, coaxing him towards the edge of the water. Tick stumbled alongside the tomcat, finally catching a glimpse of Finch, clamped safely in the jaws of Otter upstream.

      Stoat was at his side in a moment as Gull went back for the fish Tick had dropped. "Oh Tick, are you okay?"
      "Yeah." Tick swallowed, his heart pounding - both in fright, and with relief that Finch was okay. "Yeah, I'm okay."
      She nodded, concerned. "I think it's time we get home."

    Furzetuft’s expression pulled into one of both amusement and appreciation, tail-tip twitching as she picked up the herb. “Thank you, dear traveler.” She purred graciously, turning and disappearing into the brush, leaving behind a singular item, unknown to the untrained eye.
    [ Furzetuft has given your patrol one common edit for giving her an herb! + 15 XP ]

    Long after the curious stranger disappeared and Bullheart’s family had visited, Dragonfruit purred as their mate ran off further into the territory, happily sprinting behind her and letting his wings fan out every once in a while in a little glide. It wasn’t long until the couple came across a nest of mice hiding in a clump of sweet-smelling grass, swiping a few up with their claws to carry back to the patrol, along with deciding to pluck one of the herbs for later use.
    [ + 1 FP mouse, + 1 FP mouse, + 1 FP mouse, + 1 FP mouse, + 1 FP mouse, + 1 yarrow, + 12 XP ]

    Amused by the couple disappearing and spirits high with the visit from his loved ones, Bullheart continued along the trail they had been following, his ears suddenly swiveling along his head and his nose twitching as a scent brushed along his nose. “Ram.” He announced, catching the gaze of Piketail and Firestrike.

    In unison, as one, the cats spread out, moving low to the ground as they caught the large animal in their sights. With swift feet and smart thinking, they closed in on it, using their heavy paws and sharp teeth to bring the ram to the ground, happy mrrows escaping the back of their throats from their chests as it slowly joined the stars above them, now a wealthy meal for the entire Clan.
    [ + 5 FP ram, + 10 XP ]

    It wasn’t long after celebrating their kill that Bullheart sensed fear-scent radiating off of one of his Clanmates, ears perking in curiosity as he looked at Piketail. “What is it?”

    “Don’t look now, and don’t move too soon.” The warrior breathed, voice low as his eyes stayed trained on the sky, a single brown and white feather as his paws. “But I think something else might be celebrating our kill.”
    [ Your patrol has caught scent of an eagle! Do they investigate, or decide to leave the bird be? ]

Fallen had a lot of time on her paws recently. She spent way too much time just laying in her bed doing nothing for the clan, which kind of bothered her. This evening, he woke up fully rested, full of new energy and ready to explore the depths of New Moon woods again. A quiet yawn escaped his mouth, proceeded with some paw stretching, then xe left xey den, heading out of the camp to the depths of the forest which he might not pay much attention towards before.

First, she decided to go to the alley already cleared by other Bringers already, sniffing every bush, fallen tree and wood stump she could reach and sparkled her attention. She looked for any hint of prey, herbs or anything worth attention. As much as he'd like to hurry, he had to be precise and effective so he didn't rush anything anyway. She just wandered around making sure she didn't miss anything and there's no unwanted "guest" around, looking for any occasion to pick on the Bringers' berries or prey. Phew, dare they only try and xe will teach them a lesson! Xe bared xey claws already only thinking about such a thing... But maybe she shouldn't worry so much in the first place. There's more interesting things around for sure. Perhaps xe will find some tasty, fresh juniper berries today? Anything valuable never will get past xer eyes.

It kind of made her way more alert, also, that she was here alone. She woke up so early that other Bringers were probably too exhausted to assist her on her journey to the forest, and those who weren’t already had too much on their paws. He then had to watch his back and search at the same time, but who knows. Maybe someone is also patrolling on the other parts he’ll reach later.

The couple laughed as they easily caught the family of mice. They decided to snack on two of the five they caught as a little treat. The grass was all soft and cozy. It felt like a cloud and the smell was so comforting. The two completely forgot they were apart of a patrol mission for the time being. Dragonfruit wrapped their tail and wing around their mate and gently began to groom her fur with loud purrs rumbling from their throat. Hollyheart leaned into the affection and also purred right alongside him. “These kind of moments make me remember why I love you so much. Such a strong cat yet you have such this sweet side to you. I remember how we used to be. Hah you hated my guts ever since I bet you in a training session as apprentices.” Hollyheart laughed softly earning a small huff from her mate.

“Love I had a reputation to keep up! I was the successor of my family the blessed one of my lineage! I couldn’t believe such a fluffy cat like you defeated me. It wasn’t fair I couldn’t even get a strike on you! You had too much fur!” The dragon cat sighed with a playful smirk on his face. Hollyheart just rolled her eyes and gave the other a small jab in the shoulder. “Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night.”

“But you are right, guess my resentment just made us close because I didn’t ever leave your side after that. I always challenged you everyday and we had our tussles and fights twice a day. Though your passion is what made me realize how marvelous you were. I never felt a spirit so strong from someone before. You are one of a kind my dear. Haha it’s fascinating that it took us so many moons to finally set the rivalry aside so I could ask you to be my mate.”

“And everyday that passes I am still so happy to call such a grumpy dragon my love!” Hollyheart continued. “Y’know, I noticed a lot when we were younger many cats didn’t seem to like you. You didn’t seem so bad. A little tempered but you had good reason. For me, I think it hit me when I saw you that one day being so sweet to that kittypet. I never knew such a rough edged cat could cozy down to be as soft as a feather. I knew you’d be a great father…” she trailed off upon realizing where she was heading and sighed.

“I know. I tried… I wish I hadn’t given so easily into the pressure from the clan and the hate they gave me and my son. I do know… you were there for me though. If everyone hated me I knew you never could… mmm… I do miss the sounds of little paws. Did I do good with our litter of three though?” Dragonfruit nervously looked up. You could see it in their eyes they still had that guilt… if they could they’d rewrite everything.

“… yes. I think our three turned out well. They’re strong and passionate and kind. A little crazy but they get that from you.” That got a little laugh from Dragonfruit and he nuzzled his mate again. “Maybe… we can think about a final litter whenever we return from this trip. Only if you want to.” They suggested. Hollyheart thought about it for a bit before nodding her head. “A final litter in the future sounds nice. We’ll see about it though.” They both purred before their eyes gazed up when a shadow casted down upon them. An eagle… wait an eagle!

“Dragonfruit let’s move. Let’s get back to the group fast. Even if five can take on an eagle I don’t want to risk one of us getting hurt if it finds us.” Hollyheart alerted before she stood up, shook her fur off from the grass, and bolted back to where the group was left off of. Dragonfruit kept watch of the eagle a little longer before they too also got up and chased after the she cat…

————

The cats had been celebrating the large catch but the fear from Piketail turned things sour. They all knew the feather… an eagle. It was nearby. Either it was just normal predator behavior or something with Aquila… The three cats hid behind their kill and kept a low profile. Another feather floated towards them indicating the bird was not leaving and might be circling. The three mumbled softly to each other before Firestrike snorted and leapt at a tree and began to climb. “Oh great! Firestrike get back down here! It isn’t worth it! It’s better if we stay low and it will fly away!” Bullheart snapped but it was too late. The tom had made up his mind and he was scaling the tree fast. They could be cowards for all they wanted but the ruddy tom was determined to catch and take down this eagle.

The tree branches were getting thinner and thinner… shakier with each step but he kept climbing trying to reach the canopy… he could smell that bird. Oh he’d get them! He’d be the hero for the day!

Hollyheart and Dragonfruit rushed to the scene and saw Piketail and Bullheart hidden behind the ram. Hollyheart looked around… the fifth cat wasn’t here. “He… he climbed the tree.” Piketail whispered softly and pointed with his tail to the tree that Firestrike had climbed. Before anyone else could get another word in, Dragonfruit stretched his wings and flew off up the same tree. He was going to go grab his son and bring him back down. That dumb cat always was in a rush to fight something and get praise out of it. Of course they had to run into an eagle now of all times. “Firestrike! I know you can hear me! Get down from there! Your father orders you to get down from the tree and to cover with the rest of us.” They snapped.

“Hah sure! You’ll have to find me first! Though by the time you do, I’ll have taken down this eagle!” Firestrike broke through the treetop and spotted the large bird…

Mireclan Exploration #004

[ 463 words ]

Flamenettle scowled as the group made their way ahead of the area Corianderstar had stopped to trade with Fennel and Furzetuft. Ever since Swissheart had snapped at him, Flamenettle made an effort to stay away from the she-cat. He hadn't been scared, but was obviously taken aback from her reaction. The entire patrol seemed a little tense, staying very silent as they moved along. Except Swissheart and Mapleleap. Obviously. They chattered on and on about topics no other cat could be bothered to remember. Corianderstar eyed Flamenettle disapprovingly, but her gaze also seemed to be full of pity. Suddenly, the sound of rustling leaves sounded in the distance. Corianderstar looked up and pricked her ears. The patrol skidded to a stop, and, there seemed to be the silhouette of a cat ahead. It padded closer, their bright purple eyes shining in the light. The cat walked straight up to the group, and revealed themselves to be the deputy of Mireclan! "Nightstrike!" Corianderstar yelped. "FOR STARCLAN'S SAKE!" Flamenettle hissed, distancing himself from the tom. "You're all bee-brains, aren't you? Maybe I should take some time to myself." He said, before storming off in a random direction.

Swissheart watched the medicine cat run off. She had never really liked Flamenettle that much anyway, though she had to agree he was the only thing making this patrol interesting. Swissheart turned back to Mapleleap slowly, resuming conversation as Nightstrike chose a spot next to Corianderstar. Flamenettle hadn't technically been wrong, the deputy's entrance was VERY dramatic. Maybe also a little frightening. But Swissheart couldn't admit that part, for the sake of her dignity. Not that she had much.

Corianderstar sighed. Flamenettle leaves. Again. That cat just couldn't find himself at home in Mireclan, could he? Or, well, Beebrainclan. Supposedly. Flamenettle doesn't like any cat, and he doesn't want to. Mireclan was a chaotic mess with all of the new cats joining, it's nice but also not. Corianderstar didn't want to admit it, but she had missed it being just her, Flamenettle, and Swissheart. Huh. Good times. By good times, she meant.. One patrol. Corianderstar scoffed. She could barely hear her own thoughts while Swissheart and Mapleleap chattered on and on. She would've thought to snap at them, but held her anger. Perhaps she would've upset Starclan... Wait. Starclan..?

Nightstrike couldn't help but notice the tension between this specific group of cats. Maybe it was his fault. For angering Flamenettle, atleast. That was definitely his fault. But it also didn't feel like it, with Flamenettle being such a prickly... and difficult cat. Maybe he'd atleast use that anger to catch a thrush, or something. Maybe even aggressively pick some herbs. Either way, Nightstrike felt a little culpable for disturbing the peace and chasing off the medicine cat.
