A kitten prodigy

[Onyxdart]

Jaysong had sheltered- just barely- behind a rock as the wind whipped around. He was big enough that the wind didn't /quite/ knock him around like it would a young kit. But that didn't mean he enjoyed it. Not in any way, shape, or form. He waited for what seemed to him to be ages before the wind quieted. There was a mild surprise in that he now scented several cats... which meant he must not have been paying much attention at all. Quietly, he padded towards the scents, sniffing the air to make sure he was going the right direction. He paused as he saw several cats come out of a shelter. Glancing briefly at the tangles in his long fur, he thought that they were probably the smarter ones. No rock for them! They'd found a REAL hiding place.

Grey eyes flickered in slight amusement to the young kit who seemed to be leading this little band. But at the same time, he had to respect that someone who- to all appearances anyway- was so young was able to lead. Before anyone could take him as a threat, Jaysong had strolled right up and stopped a couple feet away. Not near enough to attack without difficulty or be attacked. But close enough for his voice to carry. Every line of his bearing said he was being perfectly harmless. He didn't want to start anything.

"What, exactly, begins?" he asked curiously, remembering the last thing he'd heard being said.

[Sunsetfire]

“Our journey. The downfall of Boneclan.”

The golden tom rose to his full height, a pretty impressive size for a kit his age. He had inherited his father’s stature, if it was one foreboding thing he had to share with Bane.

Amber orbs shifted and focused, settling upon the tom with a look far wiser than any young kit should carry. However, the smile was friendly, and welcoming. Sunsetfire was by no means a mean cat.

“I know that it sounds silly coming from my mouth, but my words are the mere truth. Boneclan will fall, and Stealthclan will assist Risingclan in that downfall.”

Belief. Those words were said with every ounce of will and belief within them. The young tom blinked; eyes unmoving from the stranger.

“My name is Sunsetfire. We are on our way to claim Stealthclan’s territory, seek new members, and train our hardest to be the strongest warriors that a feline can possibly be.”

[Onyxdart]

"Sounds like quite a job," Jay admitted, nodding respectfully to the kit.

"Might I join you? I believe I've heard one or two less than complimentary thigns about that Boneclan. Though I'll admit I haven't heard much. You hear about those other four clans, but not as much about the ones here," Jay said, going a little closer and sitting. Sunsetfire was intriguing. A young cat, but... talked old.

"My apologies. I forgot my manners... possibly I never had them, but that not being the general point here... I go by Jaysong. Or Jay," he added.

[Sunsetfire]

“It is a job that I do willing.”

Sunsetfire nodded back at Jaysong with just as much respect. This tom was older then he was, and experienced. He would certainly show a cat respect if he in turn received such respect.

“Jaysong. You are welcomed wholeheartedly to join us, but you must also understand before you fully settle upon your decision that there is no backing down. Your past and any regrets you may have are to be left behind. This is a new start. A new dawn.”

Flames flashed within those amber orbs, and the golden-pelted tom looked at his clan mates, unable to suppress the pride and joy he felt for each cat.

“We will learn each others strengths and weaknesses; seek to improve and unite with one another until Stealthclan is not known for many cats, but for the unity of all cats.”

OoC: Lol, now there are three cats here named after birds! *shotdown for random comment*

[Onyxdart]

OOC: I noticed! *grins*

"I would gladly leave my past behind. And I can't think of any regrets in particular that I have... But I'll be more than glad to leave those behind," Jay replied. Then he grinned. Besides that, it all sounded very interesting. Or at least it was something to do. And he'd been trying to find a clan. He could deal with being a loner... but it wasn't his favorite thing to do, he rather enjoyed being around other cats.

OOC: /dumb short post

[Sunsetfire]

“Welcome to Stealthclan Jaysong!”

Sunsetfire laughed, and then motioned for the other cats following him to greet the new tom. While they did so, he looked off into the distance, amber hues narrowing. The journey would be dangerous, but it shouldn’t take long it they could rely upon on another. A few days at the most.

[OOC: Your post is short? Look at mine. But I gotta hurry; I’m already late for work. ><]

[Battledream]

[Ahem. *coughcough* Anyone gonna say hi to Jaysong at least?]

[Puffin]

Puffin moved foreward towards the new cat, a friendly look on her face. Almost instantly, she started purring. As soon as she was close enough, she pressed down the young cat with strong sturdy paws, and gave him a few throgh licks, as if she was his mother cleaning him up after he jumped in a mud puddle. She didn't care if it looked funny, or embaressed him, she was jsut showing affection anyhow.



Unlucky smirked, half expecting her sister to say, "And just where have you been?!" Ah, well, Puffin was like that, she loved everybody, even if the feeling wasn't returned.

After her cleaning, Puffin removed her paw, "Hello! I'm Puffin!" She chirpped, then flicked her tail at her sister, the black feline with the grey blue eyes and white tail tip. "And thats my sister, Unlucky! Its' great to have you in our little group, hun!" The sea going kitty beamed, quite happy about another member, that ment more people to love!

Ooc: You said for someone to say hello! X3

[Ripplemist]

Sparrowpaw's tail waved as he turned his eyes to the adult tom. It was a greeting to the blue-gray cat, the newest member of StealthClan. He could hardly acknowledge another cat's presence, but his greeting, though subtle, was a greeting. The clan led by a three-moons old kit was picking up new members at an amazing speed, the mute cat noted, but would it have enough to fight the terrible BoneClan that Sparrowpaw kept hearing, but knew nothing about?

[Onyxdart]

Jay put up with Puffin's greeting with a good natured smile and purred hello to her in return.

"Good to meet you both!" he answered after she'd introduced herself and her sister. He perked his ears forward at the little cat who'd waved his tail at him, and flicked his own tail in reply, shedding a couple dead leaves that had tangled themselves in his fur. He turned and batted one down to the ground in momentary distraction. Then he glanced back up and grinned slightly, grey eyes settling on the cat who'd greeted him a moment ago.

"Nice to meet you as well," he said before picking the leaf up and throwing it into the air just to watch the breeze whip it around.

[Puffin]

Puffin smiled, but that faded as she watched her new leader slip away, she begain to pad after him, but then turned and looked at everybody, gave them a slow blinked that said: I'll be right back! Then darted off after him.

(( ok Leafpaw is just going to sorta jump in...suo if it doesn't make much sense just go wid it...))

Leafpaw had just recently become Puffin's apprentice in medicine. She was in the den sorting out herbs, even though Puffin had not told her to do so, she wanted to suprise her. Leafpaw had gray tabby fur, white paws, and beautiful green eyes. She changed the patient's nest, and then took a fresh-kill break. Once she had finished tidying up the den she padded off to get some fresh-air.

[Onyxdart]

OOC: I'm relatively certain that A) we still haven't gotten to our new home territory, in which case there's no den for the Medicine Cat yet, and B), we moved from this thread to the Sitting on Sunset thread.
