" First Scar " - A Mockingbirddream SRP Mockingbirddream soared through the skies, angling her wings to catch the wind and flapping them to stay aloft every few moments, a smile forming on her face as the breeze whipped through her fur and feathers, sending an exhilariting feeling through her body. She let out a joyous "whoop!" and felt as if she could keep flying on and on, forever until she reached the end on the world, however long that might take. It felt good to get away from her clanmates every once and while and instead have the wind around her as company. Birdie loved her clanmates, and other cats in general, but sometimes she needed to get away, to escape from the noises and chatter. She glided downwards, low enough to brush the leaves of he quickly passing trees below her if she stretched out her paw. Moko lifted her head, her eyes shining as she gazed towards the slowly setting sun, turning the sky and clouds floating around it a pinkish hue. It was amazing how such beauty was surrounding them at all times. The setting and rising sun...the passing moon and all of the glimmering stars that accompanied it at night...it was all around them, and yet she felt as if she took it for granted sometimes. Sometimes Mockingbirddream didn't truly appreciate the view around her, the cats around her...everything. A bit of guilt crept in as she realized this, feeling a bit foolish for possibly only glancing at all of /this/ and not giving it more thought. Suddenly, she felt herself falling as her mind slipped away from keeping her wings flapping every now and then momentarily, causing her to lose balance in the air. She tumbled down towards the trees, flapping her wings desperately to get back aloft, but her attempts were stopped by the nearby branches, not giving her enough room to properly fly and rise back up into the sky. Momo let out a panicked yelp, squeezing her eyes tight and gritting her teeth, bracing for impact. She tucked her wings in as the ground drew closer and closer...and then, THUMP! Mockingbirddream slowly opened her eyes, her vision blurry for a few moments, the surrounding trees and the ground simply smudged blobs of various greens and browns, before reeling into focus once more. Pain racked throughout her body as she got up, her legs unsteady. Several of her feathers were scattered across the forest floor, but she knew that they would grow back soon. Her legs felt weak from the landing, several scrapes decorating them and she knew that there would most likely be some bruises next morning, but other than they were fine. The most pain however, came from Moko's mouth. Blood dribbled down her lip, splattering on the ground and decorating the lush grass blades with a bright red. It was nasty gash, worse than the scrapes and small cuts on her legs. She had a feeling that it wouldn't heal, not fully anyways, that there would most likely be a scar in it's place. She stood there, shocked for a moment. Suddenly, she burst into a grin despite her pain. A scar!! Momo would have a scar!! Her very first!! It hurt quite a lot, but she couldn't help but feel excited. To her, scars were proof of how much you've been through, how tough you were. She had gotten this scar for a foolish mistake, but it still proved something! Perhaps that she could learn from her previous mistakes and persevere. As Mockingbirddream unsteadily leaped into the air once more, her wings wobbling as they struggled to take flight before finally letting the wind carry them, sending small bursts of pain each time they flapped, she was filled with excitement, wondering what mishaps and tough situations she was to encounter next. - End - Baby's first scar aaa!! <33 Sighh I can't wait to traumatize her more with a bajillion other ones/jj
