I have such big plans for their kits! Hickorystump and Stagstride are a huge part of the current lore as they will soon be revealing that they are actually cats from a different faction/group. Currently, no one even knows the two of them are in a committed relationship. Hickorystump is particularly laid-back and can be flirtatious at times, so many cats of the Kin have even had their eyes on him. Little did any of them know he had absolutely no interest in anyone but Stagstride, they just needed to keep their relationship secret to prevent any chances of being exposed. I intend for this kit they have to actually be a kit no one in the Kin knows about. A kit that they had to leave behind before leaving on the mission they are a part of now. A mission that has forced them to forgo any identity they had previously in order to perfectly merge with the Kin. The intentions of the group who sent them are still "unknown", but many suspect it is to take over the Kin and convert them to the beliefs of the Blessed Lupus. I have other plans to make certain cats suspicious of them due to some dangerous attempts to take over leadership roles in the Kin including the death of the current Magister and the near-death of the Sybil Superior. However, I intend for these kit(s) of their's to ultimately be the downfall of their fathers. Currently don't plan for it to be in a vengeance kind of way, I do have one idea for a misfit kit of Hickorystump with another she-cat, but I intend for these kits to just have mistakenly revealed their fathers' secret.
The young cat races forward towards the reddish tom, his eyes glowing, "Father? Is that you?" The tom looks up, shocked and confused.
"How did y-?"
"It is you!" a second voice interrupts his thought, ripping his eyes away from the first young cat. This young she-cat begins purring, and rubbing against his chest, "I can't believe we finally found you." The tom feels his heart drop in his chest and his paws feel as cold as ice. Around him, he feels the intense gazes of his fellow Kinmates burning into his fur. No-one made a noise but he could practically hear them "what is going on?"
"Father, you have to come back! Something terrible has happened! The Blessed they-they" the small tom-cat's gaze turns to face the rest of the cats, confusion clouding his gaze. He is met with equal parts of confusion as the cats watch the scene unfold before them. "Who are they? Father, I thought you were on a mi-"
Hickorystump's eyes widen and he quickly sweeps his tail around the young cat, thinking fast about how to change the subject, "Oh my beloved kits, how I missed you so! Oh please, please we have so much to talk to about. I can't believe how big you have grown." He nudges the kit's with his large fluffy tail in the opposite direction of the watching cats. "Come now, we have so much to talk about. Please, continue the hunt without me." He turns to his Kin that return suspciious but awkard looks. At least they realized this was an intimate moment they shouldn't be a part of.
One of the stalkers, Violetshade, nods and meows sternly to the other cat, "Let's return to camp and let Hickorystump reunite with his kits."
After this, Hickorystump will explain to his kit(s) what is going on and will ask about one of their missing siblings (this is assuming 2+ kits are had). The kit(s) will explain that they went looking for you as well, but got separated. What they wouldn't know is that the other cat is being escorted to the camp as they speak and will similarly expose Stagstride who has to come up with his own story. Essentially, the two can't lie their way out of it once they both are in the camp with all their kit(s).
Hickorystump let out a sigh of relief. He managed to de-escalate the situation. Behind him, his kit(s) marched forward, still not entirely understanding the severity of the situation they were now in. They didn't get to talk for long, but his kit(s) had shared some pretty shocking news. It had only a couple seasons... How could everything end so badly? According to his kit(s), the Blessed ones had to scatter after a frighteningly organized group of dogs took over their camp. The Matriarch had send her cats far apart in order to help them survive, but his kits hadn't been able to find anyone else after everything calmed down. They believe that they are still out there. Still alive. They had to find them and make things right. If only they could finish their mission even faster...?
As he was lost in thought, he slowly walked into camp only to stop right in his tracks. His ears pinned back against his tail, his large fluffy tail beginning to wish. In front of him was Stagstride and their other missing kit in the middle of the camp. His mate looked flustered, the fur along his spine slowly rising and his claws passively sheathing. This was not the Stagstride he knew. The composed and cool tom who seemed to glide through life like a leaf in a breeze. As he stared in dismay, his mate seemed to notice his presence and for a moment, the first time since their arrival, their eyes met. His eyes were pleading, frenzied, desperate and defeated all at once. The reddish tom's heart sank further down his chest. Things were going to get worse.
This, however, will be how I bridge in my second clan which will be the Blessed Lupus. So these kits will be essentially part of the beginning of my second clan's story! The kits will join their parents on a mission to find and save the rest of the Blessed Cats, later leading to them taking on important roles within the Blessed to honor their loyalty and dedication. I have plenty more planned between but I am excited to introduce these kits as they will create lots of drama within the Kin! I also have this prophecy for them:
When deer flee and trees sway
These kits will surely find their way
Without a mother, without a light
These kittens will soon learn to fight
And fight they will, fight they must
To fight their way and gain their trust
Yet time is cruel and awaits no soul
They soon will find her take its toll
So hurry on, dear little lost ones
You must gather fathers and sons
Bring them to the land of home
And I promise... all will be known. current words: 1140
