Kitty trying out for: MYO#1534Prompt:
Aster was just a young guardian at the time, fresh out of xer pupil stage. Ey wasn’t as brave as ey is now, as Aster was a skittish young thing. Xer parent, Overlord Fling, was not amused by their kit’s timidness. To be next in line as ruler, you had to be strong and collected. Aster was nothing like that. The only real thing that kept Aster going was eyr crush, Bow. She was everything xe wanted to be. She was fierce, she was able to stand her ground, she was a powerful opponent to reckon with overall. Bow was amazing. One day, after their advanced lessons ended for the day, Bow gave a lesson to Aster, something that’ll momentarily change xer future one day.
“Sometimes, bravery isn’t born in cats,” she said. “But, sometimes, it can be made. And it’s up to you on how you’ll build it.” Aster was astounded. Bow was one to be so leveled, but xe took it into consideration. Not that Aster believed at the time, but it was soon to come.
Around this time in history, there was a danger looming over the horizon. The eldest of elders raised the alarm, recognition ringing a bell in their skull. A bear-like creature, making its shape out of a mass of blackened twisters. The beast was named Sheer Typho, destroyer of lands. She terrorized the small cats, flinging them away from their homes with a mighty roar, slamming her gusty paws on their cloudy hills, and crushing the cats who dared to fight back. It was a horrifying site, and worst of all, Aster was expected to fight back! Instead of fighting alongside xer father, xe fled with the rest of the denizens,upsetting the ones that needed em most.
The ones who did rally; including Lord Fling, were pitted against the beast. For days turned into months, the guards and the overlord had been warring against Sheer Typho for too long. They’ve been defeated again and again, losing some dear cats on the way. The denizens of the kingdom saw no end in sight. Aster was too busy cowering in eyr makeshift den to be helping with the battle. Bow pleaded for the young heir to something, anything! Alas, she was greeted with a shudder at the storm bear’s name and hid once again. Waiting on Bow’s shuddering pal for weeks on end had finally gotten to her psyche. With one more frustrated look at Aster, she marched towards the wrecked outdoors.
If the heir wasn't going to help slay the beast, she would.
It had been days since Bow, the overlord, and the rest of the guard had been seen. The crowds began to worry. What if the overlord was dead? What if all of them are dead? What would we do if the kingdom collapses? What if the bear finds us? The thoughts were nagging xer constantly. If ey did go and defeat the monster, would things go back to normalcy? With a nervous gulp, ey padded away from xer bed. Today, Aster needed to have courage. The prickling worry about eyr loved ones being at death’s reach was starting to get to xer. Aster had to go.
The first happy thought rang in eyr ears as xe cautiously crawled away from the denizens hideout.
Sometimes bravery isn’t born, but made.
It took Aster all day to reach an all familiar site. The kingdom! As xe took xer first reluctant pawsteps, a rustle sounded behind Aster. Slowly, xe unsheathed as ey crept closer to the sounds. A small lookalike version of Sheer Typho crawled up xer. It was a small bear cub. It was shivering as it stared right back at em. Of course! This is why Sheer Typho was causing such havoc again. She’s searching for her child!
An idea lit up in eyr head. If xe returned the cub, maybe Sheer Typho would stop the havoc! With some soft coaxing to the cub, the two went forward to an uneasy path.
Aster finally made it to the battleground, the cub trailing behind xer. What met xer eyes was a devastating sight. The cub made an excited grunt at the sight of the growing shadow. Sheer Typho.
Where was everyone? xe thought as Aster pounced upon the battlefield. Aster frantically searched for the cats. Was xe too late? Ey finally caught a glimpse of the guardians and the overlord. Together, they were huddled in a furry mass in an abandoned den. The strong metallic tang of blood was in the air. This madness had to stop.
The duo made a run for the bear, only to be easily blown away by a stray paw. Again and again, ey and cub tried to tame the furious Sheer, only to be blown away. Last time the charm Aster thought as ey wrapped eyr paws around the cub’s back. A determined growl rumbled in eyr throat as they clambered closer to the storm bear. Her violent winds were whipping at eyr pelt, deafening the cat’s ears. With the strongest yowl ey could muster, ey presented the frightened cub to its mother
Sheer Typho stopped her winds as she caught the eyes of her cub. With an overjoyed roar, she shrunk in size, the tainted breeze fading into nothing. The skies were cleared of darkened clouds, not shining with it’s signature starry skies. Now, in front of them was a smaller, calmer Typho. She padded towards them elegantly. Typho peered down at the two, no longer frowned up in a snarl. Her sight made Aster tense once again, but one glance a the longing cub made xer follow through the plan. Pushing the cub ahead with a nudge, it scampered up to its mother. The cub momentarily stopped to wave goodbye to Aster, calling out its ‘thank yous’. A final nod was given by Typho before she and her cub went on their way.
Aster looked on, a warm feeling rising in eyr chest. Is this what a brave cat feels like? Was xe finally becoming what xe wanted to be for so long?
The rest of the cats watched the whole scene in the shadow, missing fur and blood messying up their pelts. Aster was pelted by confused and joyful cats. Despite the injuries, they cheered, some praising Aster for xer non-violent approach to the bear. Xer father, whilst not surprised about Aster’s lack of aggression, had to admit that in their state, a peaceful offering was needed. They rubbed their paw on Aster’s head, pride sparkling in their eyes. Did Bow get through to eyr parent? Speaking of, where was she?
Another cat's body bumped into Aster’s side, a purr rising between the two. Bow! A beaming pride shined on Bow’s face as she patted her friend’s back. “I knew you could do it, Aster! I’m proud of you.” Aster felt a bashful burn under eir pelt.
Turning back to the path the bears had taken, xe swelled with confidence. “Yeah, I think I’m proud of myself too.”

Kitty trying out for: #3290Prompt:When the chills come rolling by once again, Moo takes it upon herself to knit blankets and heavy, den covers for the farm cats. It’s a fun little job for Moo, otherwise clover’d be groaning with boredom. Making hot mil for others is also a treat, adding flowers or berries as a special add-on. It'll help others to warm up easier, all well as lightening up even the grumpiest of moods. Where ring got the milk is a mystery however, but hopefully it's not contraband from another group? Knitting comfy wool sweaters and hats, you got it! Either way, some cozy warmth and a good night sleep can be thanked for no other than Moo!
