  • Wolfmoon pounced on the mouse, killing it quickly. She buried it to come back to later, and she continued to hunt.

  • Dragonfly rested in a tree.
    Pip stalked a squirrel through the maze of branches.

  • Nimbus looked slightly puzzled but did as he was told, patiently taking two long, deep breaths.

  • Avian nodded and pulled away. " You are much better. But to avoid even the slightest chance, you are to stay in here for another day. If, tomorrow, you are completely healed, you will be released to do your duties. Understand? I will be informing Slider of my orders of your confinement."

  • Asuna caught the rabbit, then heard a yowl that sounded something like 'Holly' and "Out of Camp'.
    Might as well investigate... She thought. But you know, whoever's there has probably got it under control.
    ------
    Celticus paused on the next branch, realizing he was already tired. Maybe Silder had been right when she meant light duties...
    -----
    Silder jumped out of the medicine tree and bounded downward to look for herbs.

  • Mavora, a dark brown tabby tom with slanted green eyes flicked his tail. Behind him stood three cats, all of foreign decent. The Skybearer Rain Cloud spotted Silder, and beckoned the others to Follow with a wave of his tail.


    ---


    A lithe, small blue tortoiseshell she-cat with a generally small frame for her age of five years, followed Mavora, her soft fur rippling over her. She paused for a moment looking at her two Nephews/Sons, Icy and Cloud. "Come on you two.. You where the ones who wished this upon us, so don't back down now - home is far away now,"she mewed, her feminine voice and looks showing her gender well, though her scent was altered, and had been, since she was fixed at the later age of 3, after Mavora and she had mated and her unborn kit was killed in the process of what happened.


    --


    Icy, pure white, like his remaining brother, Cloud followed their "Aunt" eagerly, tail twitching. A light bounce had come upon the fixed two year old tom's gate during this journey. To a new life. One he felt sure he and Kira and Cloud deserved.


    "Yes'm."


    The white tom blinked his pale blue eyes, the left one without fur around it, for earlier he had gotten into an accident where humans had saved his sight from a lodged bur and stitched his eyes closed to heal. But he had torn the stitches out, and the fur around that eye never came back. His ears swiveled forwards, looking at the cat ahead of Mavora, curious. "Who is this?"


    --


    Cloud padded beside his brother, the narcissistic nature of him showing in his moody temper at the moment. He usually would be home, doting over himself with the other house cats, but no. His brother had to point out they deserved a destiny.


    He shook himself irritably and looked at Kira, perhaps the only cat he respected aside from himself. "Kira, we're not year-old's anymore... But thank you."he rumbled, twitching an ear and following Icy's gaze.

  • Silder noticed Mavora and waved her tail back. She blinked, turning her head back to look for herbs. Aha! She finally spotted some yarrow growing at the roots of a tree. Leaping down from the tree, she plucked as much of the herb as she could carry.
    -----
    Celticus sat down on the branch and watched the sky, his eyes almost unblinking. Any cat might have thought he was a statue for how little he was moving.
    -----
    Asuna jumped back into the tree and bounded back along the trail, heading for the camp.

  • Mavora watched the she-cat, slanted green eyes calm. "Silder... Would you like help/ I have three newcomers that are to join... And I suppose you will need a few paws."


    --


    Kira stepped beside Mavora, her lighter green eyes fixed on the cat her close friend spoke to. " I suppose you are a healer of the Skybearers?"


    The blue tortoiseshell blinked ad twitched a small ear. "Would you mind if we accompany you? We have wish to join... and help in any way possible, Icy Cloud and myself, Kira,"she meowed, gesturing to the two white toms behind her and Mavora, introducing them and dipping her head.


    --


    Icy watched excitedly. His blue eyes glowed with the feeling of lust to start their new lives, and he gave a small kit-like purr.


    --


    Cloud frowned at his brother and dipped his head curtly to the she-cat ahead, who obviously was aqquainted with his "Aunt's" beloved Mavora.

  • Silder blinked and nodded to Mavora. Then she answered the other's questions. "Yes, I am one of the two healers, or as we call it here, Full Moons. You may join, but I warn you, we do have a bit of greencough in the camp. Nothing to worry about, but it's kept me busy."
    -----
    Asuna was jumping by when she saw the small group of cats on the ground. She quickly dropped from branch to branch and landed on the ground behind Silder.
    "Hey, Sil! It's not like you to favor the ground like this. I thought you liked the trees better..."
    She drifted off when she noticed the cats. "Oh, you're new around here, right? Welcome!"
    -----
    Celticus finally regained his energy. What could I do... how about get some water for everyone? He thought, already dashing off. He knew of a small stream not far from camp. It would be so easy to get some!

  • Mavora looked at Asuna and dipped his head. "I have brought new cats: Kira, and her two sons/nephews, Icy and Cloud."


    --


    Kira took in Silder's words, and looked over at Icy, who's eagerly shining gaze nearly melted her. So much like his mother... A small wave of sadness cooled her mind, but she let it go through, and it swiftly left her.


    The blue tortiseshell she-cat nodded. "We shall be careful."


    Her small frame jumped towards the Full Moon, and looked over at the other cat whom had joined them. "Thank you,"she mewed, then bent her head forward to help gather the herbs.


    --


    Icy gave a nod to the others and lashed his tail excitedly.


    "What's your name? Could you teach us a bit, perhaps? About the Skybearers, I mean. Kira and mavora have only told us the name and that Mavora is a Rain Cloud - But I don't understand much about it yet."


    --


    Cloud nodded. "I admit I understand not much of this group we are joining either...."he mewed, before cuffing his brother's ear lightly with a paw. "Come on now, bald-eye, stop asking so much,"he teased his brother, pointing out his twin's left eye,m where the fur never grew back.

  • Asuna nodded. "Ok."
    -----
    Silder sat down. " I'm Silder. My friend here..." She pointed to Asuna with her tail. "Is called Asuna. Now, about the Skybearers... where to start... well, for one, the Skybearers live mostly in the trees. We hardly ever touch the ground, unless we need to. It may seem strange to you, but for us it's perfectly normal."
    -----
    Celticus reached the stream and lapped up some of the water.

  • Mavora jumped up onto the limb of a tree, traveling to camp.


    "They'll be fine for now,"he murmured to himself as he ran from branch to branch with ease, his dark brown tabby fur rippling in the breeze.


    ---


    Kira gave a flick of her ears, listening intensely. She gave a look to Cloud and Icy to silently say for them to listen entirely.


    ---


    Cloud fixed his gaze on Asuna and Silder after catching Kira's gaze, knowing that as loving as she may be, she was ruthless when it came to punishment and obeying... Which wasn't worth ruining himself, his brother, and Kira over in this new group.


    ---


    Icy flicked an ear to the small she-cat he and Cloud knew to be their Aunt and Surrogate mother, and focused on the Skybearers. "Never touching the ground? That sounds fun,"he mewed, tilting his head forward to listen more.

  • Silder grinned. "It is. Every cat here has something to do... like the Winds mainly collect water, the Rain Clouds hunt, the Full Moons heal other cats. We all pitch in, and it turns out ok."
    -----
    Asuna cocked her head, listening. "You've forgotten our history, Sil. Tell them about the start of the Skybearers."
    -----
    Celticus finished drinking and got a bit of moss to soak in the water.

  • Each of the three newcomers perked their ears. Back at home, the older house cats told the stories of past pets in the house, be it dog, cat, bird, whatever. But it always interested them, even the adults.

  • Silder nodded. "Ok, Asuna. Here's how it all began..."
    "This was, quite a long time ago, a forest open for all, without any borders like there are now. Many cats lived here, and there was enough prey to go around.
    Some cats lived in the trees, others on the forest ground with the bracken. Everything was peaceful for some moons until four cats, two from the trees and two from the bracken, fought. Other cats took sides, and it was a ruthless battle.
    Finally, the four cats came to a truce. They would all live in the trees and in harmony, and they would work together.
    The two cats from the trees, Rain and Wind, became the first Wind and the first Rain Cloud. One from the ground, Zina, became the first Full Moon, and the other from the bracken, Luna, became the first leader. And so it has been."
    -----
    Asuna was silent through the telling.
    -----
    Celticus jumped back into the trees and worked his way back to camp.

  • Icy spoke up, eyes and voice full of awe. "That's pretty neat. I never though cats like you'd have such a history."


    ---


    Cloud sniffed in agreement, but kept quiet.


    ---


    Kira gave a purr, he chest swelling with pride for her Nephews and the Skybearers. "Thank you for telling such to us. I hope top learn and hear much more during our stay."

  • Silder smiled. "Every cat has a history. Even a cat who has lived in a Clan all their life has some kind of history, something that has happened."
    -----
    Asuna smiled. "Look, Sil, are we going to spend our whole lives on the ground? Because this is really creeping me out."
    -----
    Celticus brought the water to camp and rested on one of the branches again.

  • Avian awaited his Star's answer.


    Water's silvery form slunk down a tree. She followed Slider's voice. Once Asuna and Slider were in sight, the small kit slunk up behind Asuna. She poked her head around Asuna's back. Her eyes locked on the three strangers. The she-kit gave a small mrrow and teetered around Asuna. She sat in front of Asuna and looked at the Wind. " I was coming to ask if you could take me to get a drink...but now I want to know...who are they?" the Droplet asked curiously.

  • Asuna looked over at Water. "They're coming to live here with us." She answered.
    -----
    Silder sighed. "Sure, we can go back to the trees."
    -----
    Celticus watched the clouds.
