Prompt:
Prompt 1

The afternoon sun warmed Chamomiledew's fur as she padded through the territory, leaves crunching beneath her paws. She sighed with fatigue as her heavy stomach swayed with every step. The queen was excited to become a mother, but the journey to motherhood was exhausting, especially with the whispers and rumors circulating in her faction, questioning her mate's loyalty.

"Chamomile."

A stern voice called out to the cream-colored she-cat, and she turned her attention to the voice, finding Redshadow a tail-length away. His dark fur contrasted sharply with the bright foliage, and his fiery red gaze pierced through the shadows. "You shouldn't be out here alone," he meowed as he joined her side, and they began to walk together through the forest.

"Well, Dewfeather should learn to hold her tongue," Chamomiledew muttered as their pawsteps fell in sync.

"I'll have Vinestep talk to her," Redshadow replied, flicking his tail against her flank. "But come find me if it happens again; I'll handle it personally if there's a next time." Chamomiledew felt her muscles relax as she turned her gaze to the dark tom, noting the small scars and gray hairs that marked his history.

Sometimes, she wondered if the rumors were true– that his heart might lie elsewhere and that she was merely a cover to prove his loyalty to the faction. But when his gentle gaze met hers, Chamomiledew could see the love and care he held for her, a bond that ran deep. Redshadow nuzzled her affectionately, letting out a quiet purr from his chest.

“Let's just sit here for a while,” she murmured, closing her eyes and leaning into her mate. The tom chuckled softly, curling his tail around the queen. “Okay, just for a little while,” he replied, resting his head against Chamomiledew as they listened to the songs of the forest under the warm sun.

Prompt: (302 words)

What if I was born into a place barely stable enough to stand and I grow up watching it crumble around me and you were there. And you were just. There. And I don't know how you're able to stand so tall despite everything but I want to be like you. Something in me resents how much you're everything I could never be, the way you make me hate how I'm so me, but when I'm with you, you make me feel like it's worth it to fight to be better. You make me accept that some things are worth fighting for. That some things aren't. What if you helped me discover who I am in a world that barely gives me room to breathe, let alone grow. And what if we kissed about it.

Rustycurl born into the clan around the time just before the end of arc one, growing up surrounded by the clan being shaken from the need to accommodate and incorporate the former humans, as well as now on extra high alert due to the dangers it proved lurked just around the corner. Queens less willing to let their kits leave the nest, apprentices on higher lockdown, even some of the warriors treated with a sense of uncertainty, as if any of them could be the next tale of evil. He had his own struggles going on. In comparison to the rest of the clan, it felt.... Insignificant. But that was when he met Fizzy- a cat unaffiliated with the clans, who he grew closer with as they spent time together. He was jealous of her, and yet at the same time, admired everything about her. With her encouragement and support, he was able to discover his own self worth and find a life he wanted to live.

Prompt: prompt three.

he had never even thought about having kits, let alone wanted them.
so when pico and zephyr showed up at their cave entrance with eyes so watery and shiny they looked like miniature pools (🥹), alifera was horrified. what now?

“kids. what is it?”
pico bounced in the air urgently. “dad, we found another kit just like us!! he was trapped in the snowstorm. he said his parents were gone when he woke up cold and shivering. can we left him live with us?”
the last string of words left the munchkin horrified, and he couldn’t bring himself to refuse.
however, zephyr seemed to notice he was hesitant. “dad, you took in pico from the snowstorm when i found him. why would this be any different?”
he grunted and supposed zephyr had a point.
after all, if he did turn them away, he would be no better than that kit’s own parents.

he stepped closer to the kit and starting licking him to warm him up. however, as he felt the kittens velvet soft fur, he sensed something creeping up his spine. the kit mewed and wriggled and that was when alifera noticed that he was blind in one eye. his irises were a cloudy grey and a vibrant blue, just like the colour of the ether when it was dawn.
“what’s your name, little one?”

the kit pivoted to stare into alifera’s own magenta eyes. there was a spark of something in there. alifera met the kit's mismatched gaze and saw stars. he heard melodies lost to time and space echoing in his eardrums, tasted the divine sensation of ambrosia that he never thought he would ever experience again. the ichor in his veins throbbed and he felt lightweight.

the world turned, axis rattling and shaking.
a lone shooting star fell, and everything and everyone was silent.

still, the kit said nothing. they simply stared at the barren cave walls where darkness and shadows danced, and ancient cave paintings seemed to come alive.
life thrummed and the strings of reality came undone, fabric became untethered.
alifera watched in horror as the kitten stayed eerily still. even zephyr and pico, the noisiest cats he'd ever seen were silent, watching the snowstorm outside in mute horror. the ether seemed to unravel, sky filled with technicolour rainbows. and in the middle of the raging tornado of snowflakes was a light blue eye, gazing down at them from up above.

reality shattered and was pieced back together.
alifera hissed. "the kit- it has to go."
"but father, we can't! its too dangerous. we need to let him stay. if we let him go, who knows what he might do unattended?"
pico wasn't exaggerating.

alifera swallowed and inhaled sharply.
"alright. he stays. but zephyr, i need you to keep an eye on him at all times."

"aye aye, dad."
for the first time, zephyr's green irises were filled with fear.
"never let him out of your sight."

"he could destroy worlds and even entire dimensions."

pico took a shaky step forward. "did you hear us...? what's your...name?"

they spoke in the tones of muffled whispers, the rattling of skeletons and bones, and the slow oozing of the void.
most importantly, in the humming of static.
"sonder."

Prompt:

i. Describe the parents' relationship. [ 438 words ]

Chickpea and Nutmeg met each other at their lowests.

Chickpea had recently inherited her family farm, and was finding that it was not all that she had hoped it would be. With her parents out traveling and her sister's departure to start a new life somewhere else, she felt the lack of family on the farm more than anything. Nutmeg -- at the time, Django -- was still transitioning to a new life in a new world, with the unfamiliar concepts of economy and money.

They met outside the town's local cafe, Django studying the windows and trying to practice the "reading" he was slowly being taught, while Chickpea was distracted and bumped into him. She offered to buy him something, both apologetic for running into him and intrigued by his confusion. She learned that he was a newcomer from outside the Edge, used to a comfortable, semi-famous streetcat life. He was living with Cinderstrike for the time being -- or, rather, living in Cinderstrike's small home alone while Cinderstrike was off adventuring outside the Nest's walls. The two got along well, and Chickpea offered to meet him there again the next week to help him practice reading. He agreed.

Chickpea found a new sense of companionship in their weekly meetings, and Django found himself adjusting better and better to his new life with a friend by his side. He still didn't quite have the sense of purpose that he had left behind his old life to find, though. That is, until Chickpea offered to let him move in at her farm.

Django couldn't stay with Cinderstrike forever (the tom spent so little time in town that his home was small and far from comfortable), and Chickpea still desperately needed extra help with the farm work. Django was very adamant that he had never worked before and had no idea where to start, but would love to learn if Chickpea would be willing to teach, which she was happy to do. With his newfound friendship and job, Django felt he was finally starting to fit into his new life. Chickpea felt she was finally adjusting to her new farm ownership as well.

When her parents came back from their trip to visit, their outside perspective of the two's relationship helped them to realize they could be more than friends. Their relationship grew slowly, but years later, the two are happy and content running their farm together -- now with their daughter by the side as well. And even as the Nest's attitude towards outside cats shifted and Django changed his name to avoid scrutiny, his family has always stood by his side.
