The night was quiet. When was it not? But it felt quieter tonight somehow. Her mom. Marlinstar. Glamourkit. The first one. Splendorstake. Her sister. And now Evergreenhorizon. Her friend. The wolf slayer. Dead from the wounds caused by that awful wolf. Her claws dug into the ground. Why couldn’t it have been one of those awful, lazy cats instead of her best friend?! How long till death took the rest from her? She cast a sideways glance towards the nursery, towards her four kits sleeping peacefully. No, she would not outlive them. That was just… wrong. Her paws moved without thought. To the territory. To more silence. Even the sea seemed quiet this night. Even the crickets weren’t singing. Her paws took her to the border, the one bordering the lands where no clan cats treaded. What had her sister seen in the idea of exploring? All it had left her with was a illness that had killed her. It was probably even more silent out there. And yet… there was something about the unexplored world that drew her to it. She reached her paw out… then she quickly drew it back. It was a land full of danger out there. Full of wolves and cats with no code. But wasn’t /she/ a cat with no code, if she paid no mind to if she broke it or not? The clans needed cats to explore, to find places no other cat dared to set foot. Maybe soon one of those brave cats would be her.
SO this is kinda Victoryvalor a mix of Vicky mourning and Vicky finding motivation to go on the exploration she’s gonna go on soon! Yippee!
