i know it's long gone (return of faunalife) and that magic's not here no more

[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px; width: 450px; text-align: justify; text-transform: lowercase; letter-spacing: -1px;]It had been a long time - some might even say it had been too long - and now the feline was returning... home. for sunclan was her home, wasn't it? not the vicious group that had been led by permafrost but the happy-go-lucky and cheerful cats she knew during the time that colouredstar reigned. maybe there would be no one here who knew of her or even had any idea who she was. maybe there would be no one there that she knew or recognised. but if there was one thing that faunalife had learnt during her lifetime of disappointment and heartbreak, it was that sometimes a fresh start was all you needed.

the red tabby and white feline had been pretty before, cute even... but now, with over two years of knowledge glimmering in her tenerife eyes, the long furred she-cat was striking, maybe even gorgeous. once the girl had been a young and flirtatious little vixen, wooing boys in and breaking their hearts, although her own was broken numerous times in the process. oh the lives she had destroyed back then! if there was one thing faunalife would go back and change it would be her years as a young, unwitting and stupid little girl. her life had been a mess until she had met niney, who's real name was nineteen. to him she had given birth a litter of gorgeous kittens, ones that she had loved with all her heart but no longer had any contact with. nineteen had been her husband, the golden band she had worn around her paw had symbolised their tight bonds.

yet those highs and lows were well behind her now. she had learnt well from her mistakes and was determined to come back and have a fresh start, even if that did mean going into the clan friendless with no one there to remember who she was. letting out a gentle sigh now as she walked calmly towards the top of the hill. seeing the well kept and maintained houses reminded her of her childhood home; the old schoolhouse. a bittersweet smile on her maw the female's azure eyes would flicker around her as she walked the streets of the town, remembering back to her times with colouredstar as a leader and realising just how much she missed it all. but sunclan had changed and so had she, now was a time for new beginnings not a time for remembering the past.

deciding she may as well stop now the tabby cat looked around her once more before sitting, nestling down on her haunches and wrapping her white tipped tail over her equally white coated paws. "hello? sunclan?" faunalife called out with pricked ears. her voice had once been sickeningly sweet and innocent - now it was calm, soft and knowing. she had the tone of a girl who had experienced much, the tone of someone who had fought hard to be where she was now. "i mean no harm. i just wanted to come home." the once sunclanner added, her words trailing off whimsically with a tilt of her head.

the first thing that the feminine creature noticed was not the luscious chocolate fur that coated the cat walking towards her. instead it was the pair of black wings protruding from her sides which flapped calmly, causing faunalife's eyes to widen a little more. after being away for so long the girl was not used to such extreme powers and mutations showing up in the animals she would soon be surrounding herself with. back when she had been a part of sunclan the most serious and well respected things had been telepathy or the sight. now things were obviously much different, it seemed that a lot of things had changed during her absence.

her head, which was tilted to the right moved as she cocked it to the left, tenerife hued eyes shining brilliantly with curiosity. ears twitching to show that she had heard the york's words the red and white female found herself smiling softly in response. the cat before her seemed friendly enough, but then again first impressions could always be misleading... "yes, i was a kit when colouredstar still led the clan," faunalife meowed with a soft grin as her blue eyes clouded over for just a moment, remembering her time in the schoolhouse, before they cleared again. "oh, and my name is faunalife, wishing to join once more if you please."

just as she finished speaking her eyes snapped to a new figure, an eerily familiar voice catching her attention. gazing at him faunalife, or faunny as she was often called, felt her jaw drop open and her eyes widen even further. nelon. he's here. he's alive. he's here!!! the tabby cat thought as she stared wide-eyed at the tom-cat before her. my, he had grown... no longer was he a tiny little kit for now he was a strong young man with a lifetime of surprises ahead of him. "nelon?" faunny mewled, her voice sounding calm but the slight tremor in her words betraying her overwhelming emotions.

not bothering to think of what the other fem must be thinking of her now the red and white she-cat stepped around cain, her soft smile turning into an elated grin. he was alive! her son was here and alive! in the back of her mind she was worried that maybe he would hate her for disappearing and not being there for her. but right now she couldn't care less, stepping towards him she aimed to place a motherly and loving lick on his cheek, moving to gently nuzzle him. man, she had really missed her family...!

[fancypost bgcolor=; border: 0px; width: 450px; text-align: justify; text-transform: lowercase; letter-spacing: -1px;]if Maria's roleplayer was astounded by the amount of muse being put forth for faunalife then the red tabby's own roleplayer was shocked, to be honest they weren't sure where it was coming from. anyway, the red tabby cat turned to face maria as she spoke, positioning herself so she stood close by the side of the son she had just been reunited with. smiling politely and cheerfully the she-cat's Tenerife eyes seemed to exuberate warmth as she gazed at the female before her. "lovely to meet you maria, i'm faunalife. although most just call me fauna." the tabby cat purred, flicking her tail in a happy manner as she turned to watch another cat, this one obviously still very young, appear.

as the fireflies moved to create the form of a pulsing loveheart the now once again sunclanner laughed joyfully. "that's awesome!" she praised, a beam still on her face as she looked down at the kit. why she still remembered back to when nelon was that young, along with marauder, darcy, blue, rollo and isaebella dee. pushing back the feeling of regret she felt at having left her children at such an important stage of their lives she turned at the sound of pawsteps approaching.

her bright blue gaze trailed from the kitten to a pair of emerald orbs that simply made her jaw drop. not because of their beauty but because of the familiarity of those eyes. refraining from gasping she felt her eyes widen as the voice of thor sounded and that same old crooked grin lit up his face. oh gosh, oh gosh, oh gosh! "thor!" came the exclaimed words of the feline as her shocked face turned into a large grin. gazing at him she couldn't help noticing that he, just like she, had changed since they had last met. he had always been brawny but now he seemed to have filled out and had obvious muscles rippling beneath his pelt. he still had that handsomely chiselled face and he was the same thor, just as she was the same faunny, but in a way they were both so vastly different. it wasn't the extra scars that riddled his pelt or the fact he'd grown into a handsome and strong tom-cat, in fact she couldn't quite figure out what was so different about him. yet there was definitely something there...

ignoring the feeling she moved forwards, moving to embrace the tom-cat in a friendly manner before she hesitated and halted a mere step away from him. was espie still around? if she was she would surely kill fauna for even laying a paw on thor - even if it was only a show of friendship. deciding against it she simply smiled at him, happiness glowing in her bright blue eyes. "my, you have grown haven't you?" faunalife laughed, noting that he was still a fair bit taller than her - not that he had ever been short.

as two others appeared she reluctantly, and with a sincerely apologetic smile and flash of her Tenerife orbs, tore her attention from thor and to grimnyte and skully. "pleasure to meet you skully. and you too of course, grimnyte!" fauna meowed, dipping her head with the utmost respect and friendliness.
