Prompt: Their paws were sore, raw, and scraped. Their travels had not been easy, but they had to persist. Many moons had passed since they had been a loner, traveling on their own. A fellow loner that they had passed by had told them of a group of cats that livid in the mountains, far from any Twoleg places. She had been tired of living on her own for a while, and hoped that the group would take her in. What the loner hadn't warned her of however, was that there was huge and deadly cats that lurked in the mountains as well. While she was on her journey to find the group, she heard yowling in a nearby clearing. The fur on her neck stood up, these were clearly cats in trouble. Against her better judgement, she raced towards the sound of battle. What she saw would forever be etched into her memory, a horrible photograph straight out of her worst nightmare. Five cats were facing off against a Sharpclaw, or cougar, as Aetherclan elders call them. This was the cat that she had been warned of. All of them were injured, some heavily. The Sharpclaw had injuries too, but was still standing strong. Something in her soul told her that she had to do something, or else these cats would die. So, without thinking about what could happen to her, she leaped. Her claws raked its jaw, a screeching as claw met bone as she struck its fangs. The Sharpclaw yowled and turned to face her, allowing the other cats to leap on its back. It bucked and growled, throwing them off. She lunged for its throat, missing by a whisker. It looked bewildered ad, seemingly deciding to cut its losses, bolted deep into the forest. She panted hard, looking at the cats around her. They, in turn, stared at her with shock. "Who... who
are you?!" a grey and white tabby with red asked her, bewildered.
"My name is Lynx. Are... are you from the group of cats that live in the mountains?" she replied, equally as confused.
"Well, I am
Ratfang. Over there," he pointed with his paw to his far left. "is Sparrowflame. Next to him is Coaltuft. The cat to my right is Honeyflower, and the cat to
her right is Rushfish. We are warriors of Aetherclan, which is the group I believe you're thinking of."
Lynx was excited- here was her chance! She didn't have to be alone anymore. She nodded excitedly, "Can I join you? I mean- can I join your clan?" Lynx stuttered out. Ratfang flattened his ears back, obviously a little put off, "Well, we can ask Eveningstar about you joining, but it isn't our decision. She will make the final decision." He lets his ears relax and smiles at her, "But from what you've shown me today, I'd be surprised if she didn't. You seem strong and brave," he praised. Lynx felt warm to the tip of her ears, maybe this could work. Maybe she could be... a warrior.
