.Introduction.
explicit content, viewer discretion
I found this audio recorder in a building, so I guess I'm going to make an audio diary.
My name is Anna-May, I am the reincarnation of Velocitynight, who's second identity was Star Showers at High Velocity. I am eleven months old in this life, and a snow leopard. I was born to Persephone, who had been my spy-apprentice in my past life as Velocity.
It's complicated, actually. Maybe I should start with my past life and go in chronological order.
When I was Velocitynight my mother was Icestorm and my father was Midnightraven. They were die-hard Blazingclanners who would be the last generation to be born into Blazingclan before the humans destroyed our forest and forced us to move to the island where we renamed ourselves Tidalclan. My aunt was Darkintentions, she was the illegitimate daughter of Blazingstar who had gone on a sex craze and mated with some jack-off called Flamestar who's anti-clan fell apart shortly after. Blazingstar disowned Darkintentions and so the outcast raised herself, when she was since months old she allied with the son of a traitor, Tigerblood, who had killed Blazingstar's best friend Silverstar, the leader of Emberclan. Anyway, the kid's name was Flucht and because of his mother's escape he had been placed as a slave to serve out Tigerblood's sentence because she had run away.
Darkie and him allied together and found out that Blazingstar was systematically killing Blazingclanners with deformities in order to try and create an elite gene pool--which included killing her firstborn, Sandpaw, who had a speech impediment and her son-in-law, Blacktail, who'd suffered a horrific accident that had left his face burned and deformed.
Lots of history goes here, but when it comes down to it Darkie and Flucht lead a rebellion and killed Blazingstar, usurping the throne and joint-ruling the clan eventually becoming mates.
When I was born I had many siblings, but my brother was the only one who I could tolerate and his name was Bulletant. When we were two months old Blazingstar claimed us as her own and started training us in The Dark Forest so that we could one day avenge her death and kill Darkintentions so that Blazingstar could possess her body and then continue her rule. We were babies, so we listened to her lies and believed them.
Blazingstar was trained by the general of her old group and therefore we were learning from the best of the best starting at a young age. I was a runt, but by the time I was half way through my apprenticeship I was a better fighter and all of the warriors in Tidalclan. I was a bad person, I was cruel and incredibly calculating and skilled--which was the worst combination. When Blazingstar started to possess Darkie she jumped from the top of the lighthouse and sacrificed herself so that Blazingstar couldn't destroy everything.
After that Darkie's sister, Mysticstar, took over as leader and I got captured by the Stormtribe who was Tidalclan's mortal enemy at the time. Basically me and the other captives were there for a few weeks, and when Mysticstar lead the raid they dumped a bunch of oil in the Stormtribe's only water source and rescued the captives--but left me behind when Mystic called the retreat and I was being restrained.
A lot of things happened in the Stormtribe too, like me and their leader fell in love, but when it comes down to it I kept in contact with Tidalclan via Dark Forest dreams with Bulletant and remained behind to spy on the Stormtribe. I trained myself as a spy for six months while I remained there but eventually I got called back and so I talked with Calla and told her that I was a spy and I had to go home--but if she asked me to stay I would cut ties with Tidalclan and marry her.
That didn't go over well.
She started crying and told me to leave, and if she ever saw me on the battlefield she would kill me. That... that broke my heart. But I did leave, and when I returned home Mysticstar promoted me to spy at 14 months old--but she knew about my love affair and never trusted me from then on.
At the tribe I had taken on the name Star Showers at High Velocity, Calla gave it to me to mark my full acceptance into the tribe. But Mysticstar wouldn't let me keep it and gave me my warrior name, Velocitynight. I didn't do much spying after that, Mystic didn't trust me to go off on a mission by myself. Mostly I just brooded and got more and more bitter until finally all the other spies had died and I was promoted temporarily to Spymaster. Mystic didn't want me to be a spy at all anymore, since i wasn't really doing my job, so she said after I trained three new spies I would step down and become a warrior.
Out of a bunch of eager four-month old children I chose three apprentices, Persephone, Aspen, and Markiplier. Persephone was a domestic cat, Aspen was a fossa, and Markiplier was a gyrfalcon. I cared about them deeply and they became my reason to live, but eventually Persephone got fed up with Candelapaw attitude[and boy she did have an attitude, but her mom had just died so i think that was why]--some prodigy seven-month old who had been promoted to deputy--and lead a rebellion which resulted in her getting demoted and banned from ever gaining position in the clan again. So she left on her own, and after that my other apprentices fell inactive.
I don't remember how I died.
I do remember that I lived in Purgatory, I couldn't go to hell because my schemings with Blazingstar were the result of being misguided when I was a gullible child, but I couldn't go to heaven because of my actions. I had free roam of all the heavens and the hells of all religions.
I spent a lot of time there, mostly looking for my idiot brother while he was in the Dark Forest. Unlike me he had zero remorse and continued to train kittens to raise an army against Mysticstar and her predecessors. I never found him, but Tidalclan's high counsel of guardians held a meeting and decided to give me a second chance at life.
And lo and behold I was born as the single surviving cub to Persephone--whom had returned to Tidalclan in my time in the afterlife. Once I reached four months of age I remembered my past life as Velocitynight and my ex-apprentice was now my mother. She became the only person whom I ever cared about, and in order to protect her I convinced Felicity to promote me to warrior at five months old because I was a seventeen month old spy trapped inside of a cub's body.
But Persephony died, or left, or maybe just evaporated.
I don't know what happened to her, but I know that she was gone, and because of her absence I no longer had anything that tied me to Tidalclan.
So at nine months I decided to strike out on my own and find a new home. So I stumbled upon The Penumbra and decided this was going to be my new home.
My name is Anna-May, this body is eleven months old--but my spirit is twenty-eight months old--I was born in Tidalclan, twice. I wear an army-green kerchief around my neck. I am a snow-leopard. I live in The Penumbra. I am asexual and pan-romantic. I am a vampire, I have invisibility, heat vision, and I can absorb spirits, I have two lives.
Goodbye, for now.
