Adventure ~ Chapter 1

Instructions

Three moon old, Shimmer happily stumbled out of her family’s den, thinking about all the new places she could explore today. Where would she go now? She already explored toward ThunderClan territory, where she had meet the nice she-cat, Reddream. Reddream was nice with her, and had taught her different kinds of flowers and how to make flower crowns out of those different kinds of flowers. Shimmer purred happily at the recent memory, before she shook out her fur and put on a determined look on her face. ‘I can’t get distracted with the past now! There’s more out there, where I haven’t been yet.’ She thought, excitedly. “Where do you think your going?” A silky voice behind her asked. Shimmer almost leaped out her fur, at her mother’s voice, not really being in the moment. “Oh um, adventuring..?” She mewed, in a squeaky voice, scared that her mother wouldn’t let her go. Her mother sighed as she stared down at her. “You never could stay in the den for long could you?” She mewed, snaking her head. “Well, alright you can go. Just...don’t stay out too long, okay?” Shimmer looked up happily, surprised that her mother actually let her go adventuring. “I promise!” She squeaked, almost too excited now. Her mother chuckled lovingly. “Well off you go then. I still have to take care of your brother.” Shimmer nodded before trotting off toward a direction. She didn’t know where she was going, but hoped it was somewhere new. A little later Shimmer found herself into a new territory, filled with beautiful rivers and streams, that had all kinds of fish inside. She stared in wonder at the new place. The grass felt so soft and dewy, the rocks and water looked so pretty when the light shone upon it. She didn’t even know that her mouth was hanging open, until she felt some drool slid down her mouth. She closed it, after a moment, but she was still in awe of the place. ‘I didn’t even see half of this place yet, but it’s still so pretty,’ She thought, as she neared a place, where she could hear loud and causal talking. She shook her head and looked forward, wondering if these cats were nearby and maybe...she could make some new friends. She trotted forward quickly, her curiosity getting the better of her. When she reached the camp entrance, she suddenly stumbled and rolled inside, while grunting a few times in the process. ‘Great I made a horrible entrance into—’ “Hey, who are you?” mewed, a demanding voice above her. “And what are you doing here?” Shimmer quickly looked up to see a golden fluff ball above her with green shining eyes, staring down at her defensively. She squeaked with embarrassment and leaped up to her paws quickly. “Oh—I’m Shimmer,” She mewed, her tail flicking. “And I came to explore, that’s all. I’m no threat to you.” The golden tom-kit blinked at her, and relaxed, seeing now that she wasn’t a threat. “Good!” He squeaked, nodding. “Anyways—I’m Blazekit. N-Nice to meet you.” Shimmer smiled at him, already liking this new cat. “C-can you tell me about this place, Blazekit?” “Sure!” He squeaked, nodding and smiling a little. Shimmer sat down in front of him and began to listen.
