Prompt:
"are you sure this is just a normal storm?"
"yeah, yeah! it'll all just blow over!"
these were berries' last words before the wind swept her off her paws and she bonked her head on the ground.
regaining consciousness, she sat up weakly, her long fur being buffetted by the storm. everyone had evacuated except for owl.
"I thought you were dead for a second there!" he yowled to her.
"I'm fine!" she cried back, trying to walk over to where he was sheltering in a tunnel system. she became dizzy and stepped back.
"don't move! I'm coming to you!"
"no, don't! it's too risky!"
"says the out standing out there!"
she moaned. "fine, whatever. but don't do something stupid!"
slowly, he dug his claws into the ground and crept towards her. inch by inch, he got closer to her until their muzzles were a paw-length away. reaching out his paw, he pulled her towards him. shocked by the movement, she tripped and hit her head on the ground again.
this time she tasted blood in her mouth. but she got back up and dashed towards owl, knocking them over into the tunnels.
"oops!" she exclaimed, embarrassed as she realized that their muzzles were a whisker away from each other.
he gazed up at her, his eyes shining. "well, berries, you certainly swirled right over to me!"
they giggled away as the storm raged just beyond them.

Cat Name: Inside the Clouds
Clan: Broken Mountains
Rank: Owl
Gender: Female
Age: 65 moons
Prompt: Cold and wet. She could feel the rain hitting her like cold ice, penetrating her fur and making her shiver. The wind was strong, and she could hardly open her eyes to see where she was. Suddenly, all was calm. She opened her eyes. She saw cats fighting all around her, some were dead and some were close to death. They fought on and off in different places, but they always left destruction wherever they went, like a storm that comes just to bring destruction and terror to all. All the cats suddenly disappeared all at once like smoke, and she saw one wolf form, a huge black wolf, formed of the smoke of the cats, with eyes like fire glaring down at her. She realized she was not alone, and the cat was glaring at other things around her, namly birds. The ones farther from the huge wolf afraid, and the ones closer looking ready to fight. She watched as they started attacking the huge wolf and then she woke up.

She had seen many things, but none like this. This was terrifying. Huge black clouds seemed to be fighting with each other, like a battle over the land. The rain was cold and sharp. The wind howled and screamed, and some of the dens groaned under their force. The cats in the most unstable dens had moved, and most of the cats huddled for warmth. They had lost about half the herbs already, and some of the Foxes and the Coyotes den had already been lost. The kits were terrified at every gust and boom of thunder. Strikes of lightning illuminated the terrified faces of all the cats. After a while, about 2 hours, the storm was finally calming down. The rains and winds were down to reasonable levels and the clouds were more gray instead of black when the lightning struck. It was a huge bolt, and the thunder that followed was almost deafening.

After the huge storm, the camp had been fixed and herbs were found. The only setback for the cats was that now, it had not rained for 2 moons. The ground was dry, the river had drawn back, and the days were hot and long. They had heard mentions of strange wingless birds in the area, but those were only rumors among the tribe, all birds had wings. But they had to have something to do with this, right? Where else would the fire have started, if not from the strange creatures. The skies were showing signs of the possibility of rain when it had started, taunting them. But now the fire was huge and real, ready to devour and destroy anything and everything in its path. Strange sounds could be heard, but none of the cats were risking their lives to find out what they were, staying in the shelter of the camp and in the protection of the stone. She could only hope the birds defeated this storm, saving everything. (499 words)

Username: Aktori
Cat Name: Hawkpaw
Clan: Oakclan
Rank: apprentice
Gender: tom
Age: 8 moons
Prompt:

It was a beautiful overcast green-leaf day, the wind howled and the trees swayed in the breeze. The sky was silver and the fluffy clouds had the appearance of smoke.

The strong wind buffeted hawkpaw's fur as he leapt out of the den onto the cold dirt below him. Today he was learning how to hunt, of course only after he had clean out the elders den.

He went out near the river to find some soft moss to use for bedding. He dried out the moss by soaking the moisture with cobwebs. He quickly dashed back to camp with his mouth full of bedding. He quickly swapped out the bedding of the elders, doing multiple trips from and back to camp.

He waited at the entrance for his mentor to wake up, however it seemed that no cat was going to stir for a while. He decided to leave camp and to try and hunt on his own.

He dashed out of the ravine and went to hunt in the dense forest. The birds sang their morning melodies and the forest seemed to be teeming with life. He heard some scurrying nearby, his ears perked high, he silently crept forward towards the mouth watering prey. He finally prowled close enough, he wriggled and his claws unshethed, ready to make the kill. He leapt through the air and with his mighty paws, he missed. He had overjudged his pounce. Alerted, the prey scurried away.

It started raining heavily as he walked back to camp, the droplets pelting his fur. He was shocked, no cats were awake and the elders went back to sleep. The ravine was flooding! He yowled at the top of his lungs, "Flood! Wake up, there's a flood!" Suddenly, heads popped out of the dens, warriors quickly leaping down to get the elders, queens and kits, who were stuck on the lower levels of the dens.

One by one, they were evacuated, except for one kit. The waters were rising and with the other warriors occupied with getting the other cats to saftey. He sprung down the ravine, crashing with the onset of water. He had to get there in time, the kit was in the apprentice den, slightly higher up from the nursery. The water had already claimed the dens below. He climbed up, his paws hitting rock and dirt as he pulled himself up to the den. The kit mewed, and shivered, terrified of the raging water below.

Hawkpaw used most of his strength to get to the kit, he picked the little kit up gently with his mouth, and started to ascend up the ravine. He struggled but as he got closer to the top, other cats gave him a helping paw. They pulled him up and the kit to safety.

"Thank you hawkpaw for saving my kit!" She happily thanked the apprentice. The clan was praising him for saving the mischievous kit and for alerting the clan to the rising flood.

Prompt: ( here's the big version of the art !! )

xx"Why'd you go take a dip in the river?" Ravenstorm asked in a gentle, slightly humoured tone. "Don't you know it's too cold to do that?"

xxHe was right. It was the start of autumn, and they were lucky to have fallen in at a warmer time. Heronflight sat up a little, in protest of the medicine cat's relaxed posture. "It wasn't on purpose! I was peering into the water, right? And I was about to take a swipe at a fish, and- and my vision blurred!" Heronflight paused a little, giving their chest a few licks to fix their fur up. "Right, see- I saw- I saw something! I saw a storm! With big clouds and big water and-"

xx"You saw a storm?" Ravenstorm interjected.
xx"Yes- yes! I didn't fall in by accident, I fell in because all I could see was a storm, with giant clouds of rain and thunder, and water was crashing against my body, but. I couldn't feel the water."
Both of the cats stared at each other for a moment. Heronflight didn't find the confidence in Ravenstorm's green eyes. They could tell his fur was bristling a little because he kept his tail on their back. Their mind started wandering if, maybe, it was a vision, and perhaps it was about the medicine cat sitting right there with them, but didn't dare ask.

xxRavenstorm looked away, and his fur started going back down. They stayed in the silence for a little longer, until the medicine cat looked back at them and spoke up. "Did you see anything else?"
xx"No-- well. I heard lightning, and I looked to my side. I saw a giant tree falling, on me. I don't know what tree it was though, but it was really big. Kind of like an oak? It looked naked. But I don't know what happened then, the next thing I knew was someone pulling me out of freezing water and- and that's about it. The storm and the clouds and then the water. And now here." Heronflight rambled nervously, thinking that they're in trouble, as Ravenstorm stared outside of the den, right next to them, quietly. Neither of them had a clue what was that about, but both of them had a suspicion that it's going to be important.

xxA minute or so passed, in silence.
Heronflight settled back down and tucked her feet under her body as Ravenstorm stayed still, only his ears shifting a little as birds started to pipe up in the morning air.

xx"What does it all mean?"

xx"I don't - I don't know yet. But we'll find out. Rest up now, you need to stay warm lest you catch a cold."
