I had a strange dream today
The strong cats fled while the weak cats stayed
And all but the wisest of them payed
and the price was high (yes the price was high)
Noears was barely more than fourty moons old, but he treaded heavily, with the weight of a thousand moons on his broad shoulders.
He was stocky in build, with short black-and-white fur and uninspired yellowgreen eyes.
But he had no ears.
The world was silent to him, and his eyes were sharp and quick. He caught every movement and every scent; strived to see and taste and tell what he could not hear.
He was not old but he was tired. Life had rode hard across his life; he had beaten his weary paws on life's trail for too long, and too quickly. He was strong but he needed to rest.
He had seen too many cats make too many mistakes.
I know this because I saw it with my own eyes
And they paid with their l i v e s

[Sorry this took so loooong! ;^;]
As soon as Amberstar had spotted the tom from a distance, she trotted forward, keeping an eye always on this rather heavy-stepped tom. My, he did indeed look like he'd seen many battles.. but..
What was this?
He had no ears!
The discovery took Amberstar aback, and she glanced around. Making sure her movements were graceful and easy in view (instead of on his backside) She stepped before him, watching him, all feelings and shock hidded from view upon a serious look.
"Greetings, tom. Welcome to Treeclan.. What brings you here?" |

"Amberstar."
The thickly-built tom bowed his head in greeting.
The way she walked. Her words, written across her face. Her eyes. She was a leader, and Noears had seen her name spoken before.
"I seek a place to recover what strength a hard life has stolen from me," he meowed. "I have travelled too far and long. It is time for me to settle down for good."

Amberstar bowed her head in the same greeting, though it was graceful and not at all submissive. Never.. She retained her leader position proudly, and was hoped to be called one of the greater leaders of Treeclan. She smiled. Well, it appeared everyone seemed to know her name nowadays.
She recalled the days where she was simply a nobody, a mere cat laying in the background of Treeclan. Now she was a fierce opponent, at the head of everything Treeclan did... With Blackstar at her side.
"Welcome to Treeclan then, though i'm afraid I have no knowledge of your name," She continued, seeing how he understood her words perfectly the last time. Practice, it appeared, had left it's impact on the seemingly deaf tom. |
