Pine, a house cat, was looking at a starry-furred cat. "Who are you?" he asked. He tilted his head to one side at the waited for the cat to respond. Were they even alive? Did Pine die?
"I am Dusk. You must follow the river towards the setting sun, a cat is waiting for you."
As Dusk finished his sentence, a gray and white furred cat with shimmering blue eyes came into his mind. He shook his head to get rid of the image. He looked around, but the cat, Dusk, had vanished.

Cat Name: Ducktail

Gender: tom
Rank: Starclan Warrior
Age: 100 moons at death
Clan: Muleclan

I was a very young warrior when I met my first real friend, as a kit and an apprentice I always had my brother as my friend but he is my brother so it was only expected out of him, my real true friend was Lionleaf. She had joined the clan a couple moons back and was taken in as the medicine cat apprentice. She seemed a little peculiar to me so I never felt interested in getting to know her, I was too self-centered to get to know anyone at that time of my life but it was because of that self-centeredness that I got injured.
I had been out on patrol with some cats when I decided to try and show off my superior skills to an apprentice. I wanted them to see how far up a tree I could climb. I climbed and climbed till I was as far as possible but when I got up there I found I didn’t know how to get down. I slowly attempted to descend but one unbalanced step and I slipped off a branch causing me to fall hitting as many branches as possible.
I had mostly minor scratches and bruises minus the sprained paw that caused me to spend an entire moon in the medicine cat’s den. I admit my relationship didn’t start off right with Lionleaf. To me she was obnoxious and loud while to her I was arrogant and self-absorbed. We often butted heads and argued daily till one night.
Dark clouds came rolling in with thunder and lightning trailing behind it. Rain pounded the earth and wind tore trees from their roots. I’d never been that terrified in my life nor did I feel as alone as then. Everyone else slept soundly in the warriors den or medicine cat sleeping den while I was left to myself. Or so I thought. I didn’t expect her to but Lionleaf left the safety of her sleeping den to spend the night with me in the patients den. She could tell that I was scared of the storm so spent the entire night telling me stories of her life before Muleclan or stories I assumed she made up about giant cats that prowled the jungles and fields far beyond our territory. She was there keeping me company even after I’d fallen asleep. She because my best friend after that.

It didn't say the feeling had to be completely mutual - Sparrowheart's first friend was Shadowstar, the clan leader at the time. Sparrowkit had seen Shadowstar the first day out of the nursery and immediately latched onto him. He would follow the leader around the camp asking all sort of questions and just talking to himself, not expecting a response. Sparrowkit hardly wanted to sleep in the nursery - he wanted to be with Shadowstar! If he had been told to stop he would have – but Shadowstar only encouraged him, and so Sparrowkit made his first 'friend'.

Gender: Male
Rank: Warrior / Cave Guard
Age: 24 Moons
Clan: The Tribe of Frosted Pines

Everyone has a destiny. At the end of our days, we are destined to reach something, to complete something before being harshly ripped from the world. Some fight against their destiny, the strong-willed who seek to choose their own path before facing starclan head on. Others search for destiny, longing for a higher purpose beyond the average day to day they are familiar with.

Bear knows he doesn't quite fit either of these. He doesn't seek destiny, nor does he search for a way to change it, rather it would seem, at times, destiny sought after him.

His twolegs abandoned him. They left him in twolegplace with no knowledge and no experience in survival. There was one thing he learned quickly on the streets, however. You don't have a choice. You don't get to determine when someone's going to attack you or when someone steals your food... Cats and creatures all pulled along by the threads of destiny with no glimpse of an end and no hope for a future. Maybe... maybe that's why the stranger stood out so much. Upon first glance, Bear thought he was just another tom coming to chase him from his home. At barely 10 moons old he knew he would not be able to fight off the larger male. Nerves on edge, he prepared to flee only to freeze as the tom shouted out, "Wait!" No malice in the words, just a simple request. Despite his fear, something in him listened.

Bear listened as the tom spoke, filling his head with dreams of a tribe hidden, a land of choice and family. He felt hurt when the tom stood to leave. Hawk, noticing the sadness, smiled. "I can show you to my tribe. It's your choice. Come with me or stay." A choice. Something Bear had been deprived of for moons. Destiny is a fickle thing, Bear thought to himself as he and Hawk left twolegplace. You may have no choice where you end up, however, how you get there and who goes with you, well that's yours to decide.

Destiny, a word filled with purpose yet one which carries such a burden, weighing constantly on the souls placed in its path. Though, while destiny binds us with purpose, it grants many a gift, one of comradery and friendship for even those bound by destiny don't have to face it alone.

Cat Name: Milkmuzzle

Gender: tomcat
Rank: daylight warrior
Age: 12 moons
Clan: NocturneClan
Prompt:
The night never brought solace to Milk like it did to his siblings. When the sky grew dark, his litter would all huddle nice and comfy, together to sleep with their mother. They had a soft bed their people had bought for them, decorated with pink butterflies. He'd stare at them to distract him.

Then the lights would go out.

Milk has always heard how all cats were partially creatures of the night- with vision that saw better than others in thew dark. Still, the shadows hid secrets- he couldn't see into all of them, good vision or no. And it terrified him.

His people eventually caught on as he would cry nightly.They bought a butterfly shaped nightlight to go along with the bed- they liked things to match- and Milk was relieved.

Then, he was adopted to a new family. The nightlight came with him, a beacon of hope in his darkest hours- literally- and life went on well. Then the power outage- and the darkness, for it was night.

Milk hadn't been in complete dark for so long he panicked. Running outside through his cat door it realized it was far worse out there- and the panic grew and he senselessly ran for a distant speck of light, glittering across the street.

What greeted him was a small lantern, on top a lightpost. He huddled under it, shivering and nervously staring about him, not entirely sure what to do next. The light provided a tiny bit of comfort, but the shadows engulfed him on all sides now. It didn't help that it was snowing.

"What are you doing out here on a night like this?"

Milk nearly jumped out of his fur- the shadows had a voice! He looked up to see a face he recognized emerging from them, but didn't know a name to put to. She was another house cat from a few doors down.

"... I-I could ask you the same thing."

The cat was Cookie- or Cookieflight as the clan called her. She sat with him the whole night, in the cold, sharing thoughts and stories to chase the shadows away. In the morning he agreed to come and learn about her clan, and things have never been the same since. Although at night he still hides in his house from the dark, each morning he goes out into the world as a warrior- Milkmuzzle.

Rank: apprentice
Age: 6 moons
Clan: DeltaClan

"Don't come back until sundown, if you must come back at all," grumbled Mouse, angrily mimicking the older house cat. "You'll probably die out there, which would be appreciated."

I'll show Tack! He could survive in the wild, he knew it. Here there was the sky and the wind and the water, so free and peaceful it helped his anger subside.

"This one's mine." He heard a hushed meow. Mouse halted, spotting two cats by the river. A large amber tabby took a step back. A thin blue point crouched on the bank. Mouse watched with interest, wondering what they were doing out here.

Mouse barely suppressed his gasp of amazement as the blue point dove straight into the tumbling current. He disappeared under the ripples before emerging as abruptly as he had entered. He reached the shore with strong strokes, a shimmering trout gripped in his jaws. He dropped it on the earth, chest heaving.

"That was so cool!" Mouse squealed, bounding toward them. The cats whipped their heads around, blinking in alarm at the kit.

"Who are you?" the point asked warily.

"I'm Mouse. I live over there." He pointed in the direction he'd come from with his tail.

"A housecat," murmured the tabby. "What are you doing all the way out here?"

"I don't like living with my owners," Mouse confessed. "There's this older cat, Tack, who's always so mean to me. I want to prove to him I can survive in the wild!"

The point snorted in amusement, but the tabby purred. "Of course you can, but you might need to learn how to hunt first. We can bring you back to camp, and if you want to join us, you can."

"There are more of you?" Mouse gasped. "Please, take me with you!"

The tabby laughed. "Of course."

-----

"You're quite sure you want to join us?"

"Yes!" Mouse bounced on his paws.

"You'll need an apprentice name. How does Mousepaw sound?" Wrenstar suggested.

"Tack tells me I'm as tiny and weak as a mouse." He lifted his chin. "Something stronger, braver!"

"Stoatpaw?" The tabby, Owlheart, added. "They're pretty fierce."

"Stoatpaw!" Mouse declared, grinning at Owlheart, who had been patient with his excited rambling all the way back to camp. "We're going to be best friends forever!"
