The catacombs are a vast underground network of tunnels, only accessible by a few select spots on the surface.
Ancient cats carved and explored these tunnels through centuries of hard work. At the heart of the catacombs
is a nook bustling with life: Catalena. Here cats live harmoniously in groups called guilds, in which every memb-
er has it's own special role. There are merchants, barbarians, witches, foragers, every type of citizen you could
imagine. Everyone contributes to Catalena in their own way and keeps it safe for the cats that live there.

" Ah, hello there, " the pale cat called with a smile on his face. " Come, come !
It's lovely here by the cliff- No, don't worry, it's completely safe, I assure you ! "
He breathes deeply and closes his eyes as a zephyr breeze brushed his face, enticing a deep sense of serenity and gaiety from within him. A mirthful laugh escapes his throat as the last of the wind passes, leaving almost as quickly as it came.

" Isn't it wonderful ? I mean, it's not every day a surface wind flows through the tunnels.
" How do I know that it is from the surface ? Well, you see, I come from up there. "
With a claw, he gestures above, implying that his life had been primarily lived on the overworld.

" Why am I here now ? Well - "
He stops mid-sentence, and the peacefulness in his eyes seems to falter ever so slightly- anxiety gripping him as he calls to mind his darkest moment.

" I fell. "

Tears begin to cloud his eyes, but he immediately wipes them away.
" It's nothing to cry about, really ! I'm fine. "
He paces towards the very edge of the cliff and scans the overlooking scenery.
" Besides, I think it's wonderful here in the tunnels. Not too different from what I'd seen and experienced up there.
" And whenever I feel anxious or uneasy, the breeze and being up high- just like this -makes me happy again. "
The dullness in his moon-like orbs is outshone by a rekindled flame.

" There are also guilds around here, I've heard-
" W-Wait ! You're a guild leader ? "
His tail flicks back and forth, golden rings catching light as they move back and forth - he is thrilled.

" Forgive me for not introducing myself sooner. My name is Chrysus, and I aspire to join a guild.
" Might I join yours ? "

prompt: Orion finds happiness in their Jewelry. This may seem kind of dumb, or maybe even make them seem snotty if you assume things, but really... Its because it was their fathers. Their father was a kind man, one who would stop whatever he was doing just to kiss a boo boo, even if he was busy with work. One day... their father died in a raid. This devastated them. And all was left was the jewelry.

Really, it isn't that difficult to make Aelius happy. After all, she's a rather benevolent and kind soul, delighted by even the most simple pleasures. If asked what makes her most happy, she's have a whole list! It's be too troublesome to decide, with all the options... Perhaps sitting in the rays of the late summer sun? But of course that isn't something she can do often anymore, living underground and all. Oh! Or maybe picking flowers- Oh how alluring they are, with their beautiful petals and sweet smells! But they need sunshine too.. it's quite difficult to grow flowers underground. All right then. What about candle making? That's something you can do underground! After all, they are quite important for lighting the city of Catalena! Ah yes, candles are quite great- and underestimated too! Many take them for granted, not realizing their great potential! Why, candles can be scented all sorts of smells, and wax can be an array of colors too!

Oh yes! Baking is delightful. Cookies are great, and rather delicious too. Why, if she could eat everything she baked, Aelius might become fat on sweets! Macarons are quite good too, oh yes! Raspberry flavored ones, or maybe lemon! It's quite difficult to choose...
Oh the options are endless, aren't they? Not just one thing can make Aelius happy, as she finds joy in all activities, no? Okay, maybe not sparring (that might be the only thing she doesn't like), but other than that it's quite difficult to make her unhappy. Why waste time finding things to dislike, when she can spend her time finding joy in the things she does!

Accidentally went over the word count, now it's 275/300!

“Woah, Sharpclaw, that was amazing!” A purr echoes from behind the patterned cat, as he returned from battle training. “You’re as fast as ever!”

Sharpclaw sighed, and let out a tired thanks. In Catalena, he had a duty to the Cats around him, to keep them safe, and support training of new cats. His tail curled tighter over his back in frustration, near tying in knots. Ahead of him today he still had promised to train pupils in wall-climbing, safe sprinting, and pounces in narrow tunnelways.

“Sharpclaw! We need your expertise!”
“Oh, good idea, grab Sharpclaw!”
“He always knows what to do”

Dirt moved under his paws, kneading the ground in frustration.

“S-Sharpclaw... are you okay?”

His ears folded back as he turned on a tailtip and fled into the increasingly small tunnels. Dirt brushed against his small frame, roots snagging at his ears, as he searched for his safe place. The tiniest opening, barely enough for an adult cat to squeeze through, that had the faintest shafts of sunlight spilling through. Pushing against roots, his claws giving him leverage to push outward, he emerged into a clearing.

He sighed for the second time today, but this time in bliss.

“Tired?” A voice echoed through the clearing
Great. More harassment. Perched in a tree above him was a pale Tom with swirling orange markings. The cat scaled down the tree, to meet him on the grass.

“Tired of living a lie, perhaps.” The cat suggested, leaving Sharpclaw feeling overwhelmed in his haven, his hackles raising.
“My name is Sarenrae. You don’t need to be fight here. Not anymore.”

Sharpclaw let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. “My name is...” he hesitated, feeling the weight of expectations battling against his happiness, his self expression.

“My name is Faun.”

That was tight! I wanted to share not just what brings him happiness, but how he found it, too, and how he may have joined the Guild of Veritas all in one!
