Personality:
Aió̱nios is a cool cat.He is laid back,and calm.He thinks things though,which will be best for him.What will be best for the clan?If this happens,what will it affect?He is actually very kind and sweet,loving even.He loves to make people happy.If he could,he would pour his whole being into making other happy.Anything,just,anything,to make those around him feel loved.He will be friendly.He will be kind.He is like this,because when he was young,he grew up in a very disfunctional place.His father,he was a tracker.He was caught early in his career,and sent to the prison tree.Him,being so ignorant,jumped from the tree,and was hung.His mother was deeply saddened,and he tried ever so hard to make her feel better.On the night of the New Moon,she stood quietly.Unmoving.Aió̱nios hid was was spared,but through the elephant leaves his was hiding behin,he saw his mother's death.He didn't know what to think,he should have been saddened,but his mother looked so...content.The time after,it got to him,and he told himself that no one else should have to go through such a deep depression as his mother.
But,all of this kind niceness,it all dissapears whenever he tracks or fighting is involved.He turns into some vicious beast,a true sight to be seen.All that thinking,comptenplating,is wisped away without a trace.He is instinct in its true form.As a tracker,he is as silent as his Sight bird.He treads across the ground,using the Sight to help himfind where cats are.Like he did as a kit,he hides in the elephant leaves and bushes.Up in trees,and deep in the crevaces of the mountain.From there,he listens in and reports back to the leader.When fighting,he uses instinct and smarts to help him.Anything he can use to his advantage,will be used.Once what has to be done is done,he has a calm period of time to recouperate.And then,only after his calm moment,he will become himself again.Happy and cheerful,friendly,and nice.When he dies,which he knows will happen,he wishes that others would remember him this way.His sweet self.Not the cat killer,business cougar.

Story:
A large,beautifuly colored mountain lion,was hanging onto the edge of a rocky mountain.His claws scraped and clawed at the rock,but he didn't seem to be able to get a grip with the rain pounding down against his fur and the rock.Blinking away rain droplets from his eyes,he tried to pull himself up with the strength he didn't really have....
But this is not the beginning.No,no,the beggining starts many years before that.It starts with a a small cougar,frail and fragile.Heavy with three unborn cubs.

"Dynatá!"Tacheía yelled at the top of her cat lungs."Dynatá,please!Where have you gone?Dynatá!The female cougar began to weep.Where had her love gone?Oh,how she wept.She had to find her way home by smell,she didn't dare open her eyes for fear of her love not standing infront of her.She ambled on a dirt path blindly,her paws barely lifting off of the ground as she carried her wieght,and then some from the cubs.She shouldn't be under stress like this.
"Tacheía!Tacheía,please wait,stop your weeping."Said another female jaguar,a friend of hers."We know where Dynatá is.He was out in a group of two other trackers,we have come to believe that they are somehow stuck in thier position.","But that was a week ago!Surely he should have been back by now!He knows I am due in just a few days,he promised me he would be back..."Tacheía said through her choked meows."He promised...Dynatá may do many things but he would never break a promise.Nor is he a lier.Hes going to come back.He has to!"She stumbled over something imaginary,now laying on the dirt path.A soft wind blew,particles of dust wizzed by her face and she closed her eyes.The golden and black jaguar spoke,"Im sorry.Trackers don't usually take this long...It is going around that he...he may be at the Prison tree.He,and the others, may have been killed as a symbol of Velocia clan's power.The truth is we dont know.We pray for the trackers,that they will return to us."Tacheía said nothing,only gave a slight,sniffling huff.She would have to wait.
But waiting was hard.
--- --- --- --- 1 week later --- --- --- ---
Dynatá has not been found.The other two trackers have returned to the clan.They are being tended to almost nonstop,one is lucky to still have his paw.It was broken and practically held onto him by skin and sinew.The other now has one ear,he may or may not have damage in his brain.The clan thinks Dynatá is dead.But not Tacheía,she knows.She knows her mate would never be killed on a mission.But he has not yet come.
Soon,in the late ours of the afternoon,Tacheía let a loud yelp escape her maw,as her muscles began to contract.Where,where is he?She thought,Hes...hes running out of ti-time.She heard pawsteps,at first she thought it was her mate,but then she heard."Tacheía!Tacheía,are you oka-oh my!"It was her friend again,the golden jaguar."Hes not here..."Said the cougar,just then,another contraction came her way."Stay calm,and breathe.You can do this,"The jaguar responded.The small mountain lion closed her eyes,trying to concentrate.A smell entered her nostrils,one impossible to mistake.Blood.Shuffling leaves were to be heard.Her eyes snapped open when her jaguar friend gasped.
"I told you I would come.I never break a promise."
"Dynatá,...I...I knew you would come."Tacheía said contently.A few hours later,just before the night,three newborn cubs were brought into the world.The jaguar had left,leaving the family to themselves.The cubs now basked in the last rays of sunlight as the sun set by their mother.Dynatá lay close to his mate,but he was badly injured.His ear were ripped at the tips,his pads cracked,and he had the worst limp in his back left leg.It was obviously from a large wound gound down his leg.Tacheía told him to go,but he refused.Instead,he told her why he took so long.
The mission was going swiftly,until one of the trackers somehow caught the attention of a leopard.The leopard ran,warning the clan that there were intruders.The three trackers didn't know what to do,they seemingly wanted to go back,but they had to get the information needed.They were very able fighters,maybe they could just dive in with tooth and claw.But the leopard was quick.He came back double time leading a small portion of the clan with him.About five cats.They fought,proudly to say the least,and they soon got away,with there lives.One cat now lay dead,but the trackers ran as best they could.Dynatá told the two to go,that he would keep the clan off of thier tails.Distraction after distraction,he kept the clan away from them.For two days.By now they new him well,what he looked like.Quietly,he stood in the shadows.Resting,moving,keeping quiet.It took long to get home without being noticed,but he did it.
"Mom!Mommy!Aionios,he's in trouble mom!"Cried Aionios's younger sister,Naria.She was breathing so deeply now,incredibaly worried for her brother.What if he went too far this time?What if another cat snatched him up!"What happened Naria?"Tacheía said,looking down from the sky.The sky was dark blue,and dotted with bright,white glowing stars.She turned her head to see over he shoulder,"What did he do now?"."He,he went passed our borderline!Naria screeched,finally laying down and breathing for a bit."He what!?Oh,when I get my paws on that boy,"Tacheia said,getting up and running off.She looked around,covering ground as fast as possible.Any time saved was less time for someone to find her firstborn son.
"Siopi!Siopi no fair,what a cheater you are."Aionios mewed,running along,his paws no longer stumbling like they did when he was younger.He ran after the owlet,every once in a while juping up to get a slap at her,but he always missed.Siopi flapped her wings,it was quite fun outsmarting this young cougar.As Aionios laughed,he didnt pay attention to what was infront of him.He barely missed tripping over a rock,but something much,much more important was infront of him.One,dont worry,catch your bird little one.Two,look ahead before you dissapear.Three,a second too late.
''Ooouf!"Aionios grumbeled as he went head first into something large,hard...smooth.It had fur,also."You'd better watch it!How dare you be in Cavallino clan's territory!"The small cougar got back up on all fours,shaking his head.When he finally opened his golden brown eyes and looked up,he immediatley fell back down,bowing to the leader of Velocia clan.He shuddered in disbelief,the feeling he felt right now was unbearable.It was asthough all of his pride was being spooned out of him,placed in a bowl infront of his face.He wanted to get up,he didn't want to bow.He was so close.But he not dare touch the bowl.WIP
The leader let out a thundereous growl,lifting a paw."A small cub such as you,talking to a leader that way?Why,Cavallino clan is really going down hill!"He bared his fangs,looking as though he was about to slash Aionios right across his cub face.Whoo!The owl's call rang through the forest as she flew across the leaders face,confusing him just long enough for the cougar cub to escape.Siopi followed close behind,and when the cub finally saw his mother,who had been looking for him,he was in deep trouble.His alibi was that he was just trying to be like his father.
Just a few days later,Aionios's father was out in Velocia clan.Tensions were rising,the leader wanted to know what the clan was doing.Since he was wounded,he wasnt as on key as he used to be.He started to slip up.It was okay,until he got noticed.Not being able to fight back as much,he was captured and sent to the prison tree.He cold,rusted choke collar was fitted around his neck.As uncomfortable as it was,he knew he had to get away.He lept from the tree,hoping the rusted collar would snap.
It didn't snap

Tacheia's jaguar friend came running to her,her eyes swelling with tears."What...What happened?"Tacheia asked,setting her haunches on the ground.Her three cubs played around her."He...hes dead."The golden and black jaguar simply said,head hanging low."Well,who?Tell me who!"She said,becoming anxious and worried."His old wounds made him unable to keep silent,and to fight.They,they took him,to the p-prison tree.So I have h-heard,the collar was very rusty,enough to snap,and for him to be free.He jumped b-but...it didnt snap..."She sniffled and studdered,Dynata's death was affecting everyone."W....What?"Tacheia asked,holding her youngest son closer to her because he happened to be by her paw."It didnt snap.Dynata is dead!He is dead!"The jaguar cried,choked meows bellowing from her throat."No...no...."Tacheia thought about the possibilties of how he could be alive.But the scenerio seemed so much like him.The three cubs perked up thier ears to listen,and soon regretted it.Weeping could be heard around the clan,for every cat who ever knew him.
Months,and months after that,Tacheia never got over it.Her stomach ached,her heart hurt.Aionios tried his best to cheer her up,but all failed.The night before the new moon,many cats ran hid away,including Aionios.He hid behind a large bush,and for extra protection,ripped off large elephant leaves and tossed them,making it look like a large bush they formed into the tree behind him.There is were he hid,the only thing you could see were his golden brown eyes in the night.The next night,it was a freeforall.
Cats ran,cats lept,slashed,bit,tore,they were ripping eachother apart.No one was spared.Blood spattered the soft ground.Small kits with thier mothers,killed,large males,killed.Aionios then caught sight of his mother,who sat calmly.Rain had started to fall earlier,and it muddied the ground.A large leopard came up to her,told her to fight.She refused,but he still showed no mercy.Aionios's mother was ruthlessly killed infront of him.She seemed so content,at first he wasn't sad.He was...angry.He lept out from the bush of which he hid in,launching right onto the back of the black leopard,sending them both tumbling.He growled and snapped at the cat,un sheathing his claws and fighting.The leopard was good,much older also.But the cougar used his youth to his advantage,jumping around and running the older leopard out.Than ran,chasing and fighting one another until they came into rocky terrain.
The rain made the rocks slippery,and both of the cats fell numerous times.Finally,someone messed up.The leopard roared,pushing Aionios with his large paws.Aionios tried to get a grip,his paws sliped and he fell,sliding down the rocks,just before he decended down.His claws dug into the softness off moss that was connected to the rock.His limbs tremebled,but he held on.This is where you started.The mountain lion struggled to hold on,trying to pull himself up but he had to elude the leopard as well.Then,he noticed something.Something only a cat that was a tracker could notice.Out of the corner of his eye,he saw they very slightest flash of brown.
Whoo!Siopi called.Aionios smiled,regaining strength,pulling himself higher.The barn owl flew into the leopard's face,confusing him and making him stumble.Aionios pulled himself up all the way quickly,and the same way he started the fight,he launched himself at the leopard,pushing him right over the edge.A deep roar could be heard,then silence as he went farther,and farther...
Aionios now lives as a tracker,and he is rather happy.He still talks with his siblings,who are now scouts.He tries to make the best with what he has.

Panacea wrote:Trackers
Their job is to cross stealthily into the other Clan's territory and stay in the shadows and track the enemies movements. They must be aware of everything around them so that in case of danger they can alert their own clan members. These cats have an unusual connection with the earth & sometimes do not have to see to be able to sense danger
In battle/raids they are the ones that send messages out to the rest of their clans such as commands "retreat". The Lead always stays close to the Clan Leader for this reason.
These Cats must excel in: Stealth, Instinct
Body type: Light
It's beautiful so far <33
