Prompt:


Describe the parents'* relationship.
Hareskip and Bunnyhop both came from similar backgrounds, although both were rocky starts to their life.

Hareskip came from a house full of many cats, some of them aggressive towards the small cat. The cramped and disgusting aspect of their home left them with a scarred and mangled hind leg, result of a tussle with another cat and then a heavy box falling on their hind leg. They were lucky to escape and even luckier to find the Hawthorns, a place where they could feel the wind in their fur and not have to fight for every single meal they needed. A full belly and a full heart was what they needed.

Bunnyhop was also a former kittypet, although their situation was a bit different. Their Twolegs were loving, constantly spoiling her with exquisite meals and beautiful outfits. Unfortunately, their neighborhood slowly became abandoned, multiple families leaving their houses behind, and her Twolegs followed suit. In their quick evacuation, they left behind Bunnyhop, the cat curling around her bunny-patterned blanket and waiting for them to come back. It took a few moons for the cat to finally gain the courage to leave her home, but it brought her to the Hawthorns.

When the two of them met, it was an almost instant connection. They chatted about their former lives, Hareskip explaining that Twolegs weren't always good to cats and Bunnyhop constantly wishing that Hareskip had been raised by their owners. They wished that they had met each other earlier in life, had been able to be there for one another. It was no surprise to anyone when the two announced themselves as mate, especially when they had spent every single waking moment with each other since they joined the Hawthorns.

When they had their first kit, Cypressgrove, they had two different styles of parenting. Hareskip constantly worried over their son, making sure that he was eating well and being treated just fine by other cats, while Bunnyhop was nothing but enamored with their son. Hareskip was a little bit stricter with how Cypressgrove was raised, while Bunnyhop let their kit have anything he wanted. Despite these differences, Hareskip and Bunnyhop were able to effectively communicate with each other on bigger issues with Cypressgrove's upbringing, and Cypressgrove grew up adoring his two parents.

Now expecting their second litter, Bunnyhop and Hareskip are estactic. They're a bit more focused on making decisions about these kits together, not being two different sides of the same coin. No matter what, these kits will grow up just as loved as Cypressgrove was, raised to be happy, joyful and inexplicably themselves.

Prompt:

As her eyes slowly drifted close, a new world unveiled itself to her. Flashes of violet and magenta danced behind the veil of sleep. They swirled in the dark expanse of her mind, vibrant colors splashing about, painting her mindscape in its deep hues. This symphony of colors was not foreign to her. It was a nightly ritual. One she partook in with no questions. As if bound by a duty unbeknownst to those who walked amongst the awaken. A mystery incomprehensible for those whose dreams were beyond their control, an untamed force. For Twilightdream- dreams were her reality.

Many of these dreams were spent simply observing. The world seemed to drift forward around her, entirely unaware of her watchful gaze. She spent many nights watching cats of all walks of life. From the joyous and bright dreams of the youngest souls to the solemn and profound thoughts of their counterparts. More often than not, these dreams appeared nonsensical. Simply the rampant imagination of the hopeful and hopeless. However, there were few occasions in which she sensed more. Times in which the cat she visited was special.

One such instance was the night she met the most wondrous tom she had ever laid eyes on. With luxuriously long fur stained a deep, radiant purple. Eyes like the glimmering stars, reflections of a rainbow born from a gentle rain. His presence evoked a sense of awe and wonder that she couldn't get enough of. The tom's very being seemed to draw her in, to envelope her mind and senses. She was absolutely entranced in his magnificence. So much so she spent every night searching for him. Waiting. Wishing. Longing. For their first meeting was fleeting. Their eyes locked across the dark night expanse, sending sparks flying within her chest. She could recall opening her mouth to speak to him. To ask his name, at least. But the words never left her.

After several moons of waiting, it had seemed as if all hope was lost. While she had the will to travel amongst the dreams she chose, there was something different about him. No matter how hard she tried to summon him, nothing appeared. It was an enigma to her. For once, the dreamscape was beyond her comprehension... Until, finally, her dream was answered.

"I see you," he called out, his eyes staring into the dark expanse the colorful she-cat called her home. There he stood, his tall commanding form sending her mind whirling. Words seemed to try desperately to crawl out of her throat. So many questions, so many desires. They fought amongst themselves, all struggling to escape the cavern of her psyche. Yet, all she could muster was a simple blink. An acknowledgment that she, too, sees him.

"I've been searching for you..." he meowed, his voice thick with the longing aching within her own chest. It tugged her farther, pulling her closer and closer to him. "Why won't you speak to me?" The question lingered in the air like a heavy fog, weighing on the sunset-colored she-cat as she cursed the same question within herself. As the silence dragged on, the mysterious cat slowly nodded his head, as if understanding the inner turmoil she suffered. "I fear it's already time for me to leave again. Please, do tell me.. what may I call you?"

She could see the radiant purple color at the tips of his fur begin to fade, a sign that their time truly was reaching an end already. Panic struck her as she watched her dream drift away from her grasp. A cruel dark vignette surrounding her vision, dampening the sight she had longed to see. Just as the last bit of him began to dissipate, her voice shattered the silence. "Twilightdream!"

For a moment, she wasn't certain he heard her. By that point all she could see were the twinkle of his brilliant eyes. Yet, within the shimmering light she noticed a flicker of recognition. Quietly, as if muffled by the very dreamscape threatening to close the space between them, she heard him speak once more. "Twilightdream... I'll call for you next night. We will meet again."

Prompt:
Both outskirts members of their respective clans, Grimdawn is the cool and aloof to Selkieripple’s happy go lucky, which is also why they don’t fit in with their clan. The Clan of the Forgotten Hollow is filled with an evil miasma that influences the cats greatly but because Selkieripple’s personality and being a more supernatural kitty(unnatural fur and chimera) they have a natural resistance to the evil. They are the light of each others long lives, their mythical traits granting them unnatural long lives which only fuel the rumors about them that kits and apprentices scare each other with. When not hunting and managing their dens they spend their time together, lounging in moss, the brief bit of light that filters through the long dead branches of Grimdawn’s hollowed out dead tree warming their coats. In the center of banshee’s bog, a place not many are brave enough to visit but for them it’s peaceful.

Selkieripple is boisterous and high energy, bringing with them the ocean fish that they know are Grimdawns favorites. While separated they spent most the time thinking about their mate and while being an outskirts member of the clan they still hunt and bring back prey for the clan. Grimdawn is similar to Selkieripple in position in their clan, however unlike most of their clan they are not a reincarnated cat which makes them more of an outsider. Even though Grimdawn themself isn’t fond of rabbit and it’s a pain to catch them, they are Selkieripples favorite. They enjoy their quiet life, though they are still aware of the taboo of cross clan relationships and hide from visitors if caught, Grimdawn hanging strong smelling dried plants to mask Selkieripples smell. Together they spend their days in relative peace compared to the chaotic nature of clan life.

Prompt:
nightrunner and ocelottuft's personalities contrast each other so much, you'd almost be shocked at how well they get along. while nightrunner is a determined warrior, never wanting to be held down and eager to get out in the world and explore, ocelottuft is the opposite, being rather content with his duties within the camp and spending a lot of time helping raise up the young in the clan, often spending his time keeping the apprentices company or stepping in with training when their mentors were unable to. it's that contrast that seems to balance them both out - on their own they seem like two completely different cats compared to when they're together.

while nightrunner can be abrasive and snappy on her own, being around ocelottuft calms her demeanure down significantly, making her a much friendlier cat to be around. she isn't typically social, but his influence brings the best out in her. the same can be said the opposite way; ocelottuft was an unusually quiet and timid cat before getting with nightrunner, and her influence has brought him out of his shell, making him, ironically, more social than she is.

the idea of kits was always something lingering at the back of ocelottuft's mind - he adored helping out with the kits and apprentices in the clan, yet was unsure how he would react to having his own. the conversation was brought up to nightrunner in passing, yet, being young warriors at time, it wasn't something either were super interested in - especially nightrunner, who was more content with her life as a warrior.
that was, however, until one conversation years later where the pair came to an agreement. nightrunner's hesitancy to having kits had been in part due to her not wanting to be chained down to the nursery, feeling as if it would restrict her. ocelottuft was quick and eager to offer that he spend time in the nursery with them instead, letting nightrunner continue her duties as a warrior. both happy with this compromise, it's what they agreed on, with nightrunner still visiting the kits as usual and the other queens helping raise the kits. nightrunner does have some learning to do, still adjusting to the whole idea of the kits existing to begin with, but is more than happy to learn as she can clearly see how happy it makes ocelottuft - and that alone makes her happy.

Prompt: prompt #2 <3

This was wrong. Her heart beat rapidly, pounding against her ribs as she trekked past the last OceanClan scent marker. How could she go through with this? Shaking out her fur, the quiet chime of her bell was the only thing that gave away her position as she slunk through the tall grass, eager to see the face she had been thinking about for days. They had only met just recently- Thistle having swayed her with his charming disposition, passing her compliments and teaching her the best ways to sneak around the twolegplace... they had so much fun together. The white spotted tom always knew the right thing to say, especially when Fawnspring had been nervous about his proposal for her to sneak out while her clanmates were sleeping. The stuffy cave was still something she had been trying to get used to, after all, it was much different that the extensively designed homes she had remained in before.

The thought of his mischeveous grin could brighten the darkest, stormiest day in Fawnspring's life. How could she not be so madly in love with him? Placing her paws quietly against beds of weeds, the moon glittered promising another fun evening with who she had been presuming to be the love of her life. Fawnspring's eyes reflected an excited light despite the anxiety that covered her like a dim cloud as she trekked towards the distant glowing lights of the twolegplace. The full moon guided her paw steps as she drew closer to the twolegplace the tom had been leading her to night after night- she couldn't keep away from him. Breaking into an elated canter, she stretched her long limbs happily, ready to arrive as fast as possible to spend as much time as she could with the charming cat.

Skirting to a halt, she twisted and made a sharp turn towards the farmland that had been long mistreated under the ownership of who she was told was an elderly twoleg. The wind stirred the tall grass around her, her eyes scored the entire landscape ahead of her that had grown to be awfully familiar. The towering, tattered barn of fading black and white stood ahead like a looming owl, creaking slightly under the force of the wind. Weeds of dandelions and greenery sprung from the cracked door, weeds covering the secrets entrance to the crooked twoleg structure. A faint neighing of a horse could be heard from the pasture adjacent to the old barn.

Fawnspring pricked her ears as she left the clumps of tall grass to see if he had arrived. Before she could see him, a soft pelt brushed against her flank, the she-cat having almost leapt out of her fur. "Thistle! You startled me!" She mewed with indignation, amusement in her voice betraying her affection for the tom. He rubbed his muzzle along her fawn-colored cheeks, purring as well, "I'm sorry, darlin'. I only wanted to make sure you were payin' attention to your surroundings." He looked energetic, leaping forward and play-bowing, tail flicking absently in the air. "It seems you weren't." His meow, gruff yet warm, echoed through her heart. Thistle stood and nodded towards the barn behind him, "Ready? I've got somethin' amazing to show you."

The ground vibrated softly as she purred, trotting happily after him, eager to see what mischievous nonsense they would get up to for tonight's adventure.

Prompt: The moon had fully risen into the sky, it's vibrant white light shining off the surface of the Heart of Decay's flourishing river. The soft ripples of water striking nearby stones echoed throughout the forest. For a wanderer, this area was a perfect place to make camp for both adequate fish and beautiful sights. On this night, the leader and deputy of the Heart of Decay had made off into the night, their flanks pressed against one another in silent embrace. Whispers of endearment were shared between them, but suddenly ceased as the tree line broke and the couple stood before several large stones, laid out perfectly to overlook the river. Envy, with a big smile, looked over at Onyx.

"Don't tell me you actually moved rocks to make this." Onyx sighed, looking at Envy's proud expression. "Dork." Onyx said before leaping up onto the rocks, laying down on her back. She exhaled softly, the moonlight warming her belly. There was a noticeable bulge as Envy looked her mate over lovingly.

"Laying on your stomach getting to be too painful?" Envy asked in concern, moving to sit at Onyx's side.

"No, I just want to gaze at the stars." Onyx remarked stubbornly. Envy, not daring to argue, laid on her back beside her.

"Well, then so do I."

A silence was shared between the two, then Onyx turned to Envy.

"Do you think I'll be a good mother to these kits?"

"What kind of question is that? Of course you will." Envy said reassuringly, shifting closer.

"Will I?" Onyx sighed. "I've had the clan tell me that I'm too strict at times. Do you think they will like you more? Be honest with me." Onyx asked. Envy sat up, looking over Onyx.

"Onyx, we are both their mothers. We are there to nurture, to mentor, and appreciate them, no matter what. You are strong, resilient, and the ideal warrior. If anything, I think they will look to you for guidance when they become apprentices over me. And I'm happy about that." Envy cooed, a soft sigh drawing from Onyx.

"What do you think they'll be like?" Onyx continued on, a small smile crossing her lips.

"I think they will be perfect just the way they are."

Prompt:

This was something new, something they hadn’t seen in awhile. How did this keep happening? Was this some kind of broken message that the gods were trying to send for them? Darkness swallowed the land during day and not even the stars dared to reveal themselves.

Why had the darkness stolen the sun this moment? Where had it gone within the bound full all consuming darkness. Was this to be a curse for their land to wake for the sun once more? Perhaps this was to be a hidden blessing that they would only uncover long after the time had passed?

All anybody knew right now was that something was taking over their gorgeous kingdom. When the sun finally appeared again, it was something that had not expected.

During their terror and shock, something had appeared. A small bundle with a rapidly scratched note attached. What was this supposed to mean? Something was most certainly off about this whole encounter, but finally, one cat dared to step up, to see what the note read.

“A curse appeared over the land, swallowing the sun for a moments notice. This child can be your saviour if you bond with them correctly. Allow this child to grow under your strength, form a bond with them and never again, will you experience the blink of darkness for more than a moment. If you dare to corrupt this child or turn them the wrong way, they’ll curse you a darkness that will never go away. It is your move, Kingdom cats. But choose wisely because there is no going back.”

The cats quickly scrambled as the note was read aloud, but they understood the message. This child was important and there was nobody aloud to harm it for the consequences that may arise.

Nobody dared to test the gods.
