A starry Connection

[Miss Tactical]

The sun had set, most of the cats had retreated back to their dens for the evening. Tomorrow was another day. It had been reported that Doe, one of the prey hunters, newly named at that, had fallen into the swift waters. The cats had followed the water for a little bit before calling it quits, and honestly the brown she-cat understood. Her blue eyes carried her to the small sleeping frame of a thin tom, whom was called First Speaker, next to him lay his apprentice Stream. Her eyes softened ever so slightly before her tail touched his shoulder waking the tom up. She had finally managed to find her way home.

"Firstspeaker....I tried to come to you sooner but I had gotten lost..." It wasn't often that starry cats came to visit Firstspeaker. Firstspeaker normally relied on nature to tell him of the perils to come but instead it was the young prey hunter who stood before him. Her hollow spirit tilted it's hard before padding out into the clearing beckoning the tom to follow her with a flick of her tail. Her angular face pointed to the sky, a star shone extra bright tonight, that was hers. She smiled softly before turning her head to face the tom once more.

"I fell into the river and its rapids carried me very far away....farther than any one of have ever gone." She mewed softly. Her eyes reflected sadness, had she just been more careful she and Talon would have been able to start a family. She lifted her head up, now was no time for remorse, there was more serious business to take care of. "I wanted to visit you, to let you know I was okay...in the tribe of Endless hunting but...I ended up...somewhere else...." She recalled speaking to Silverfang, it was a name so odd sounding to her...

"It was another tribe! We aren't the only ones!" She mewed. Something about her tone was filled with excitement, the other half worry. What would the other tribe do to them? Were they in danger... "I have finally made it back home to where I belong...but...I should let you know...they are coming.... Mist shrouds over Ivy that hides the Moth." She mewed softly.

A light touch like a soft breeze disturbed him...And a voice? Wind did not have a voice. The tom slowly stirred awake. He gave himself a second to stretch before gazing up at the starry pelt of Doe. His yellow eyes shone like stars in the dark, eyeing the odd colored she cat. "Doe that Lives in Forest.." He seemed amazed at first, but quickly stood, careful not to wake Stream. He tiptoed after the she-cat, his ears wide set on her voice. "You have come from the Tribe of Endless Hunting? How can this be?" He as in shock to see a cat come from such a place but he would have to wait on his questions. "It is quite alright, as long as you have made it safe here on your journey.I welcome your courage to come back home, and I do apologize, the waters around here can be very..unsettling.." He was being very sincere with the topic, clearly hinting to how Doe had gone missing. By the mention of the sky-dwelling clan, he had figured out the obvious. He nearly pause at her tone, unsure of what to think of it. "Another tribe? But our ancestors have longed told us we were the only tribe here...And they? There are more than one??" He couldn't help but ask, it was only a slight nature that would perk up when a deceased cat visited someone.
"Mist shrouds over Ivy that hides the Moth...I will keep that in mind, and inform the others at the Telling..And Doe, welcome home, we are honored to have you walk among us again, in yet a much more beautiful form." The comment was truly an honor to have been said, he himself had never gazed upon the starry pelts like Doe's. But he is glad Doe made it back to their territory, where she can roam and watch over their tribe. He was determined for the next Telling, s it was his duty to tell those living about the news, and possibly what was to come.

Doe gave a firm nod before looking to the sky, voices called to her and she swiveled her brown ears. "Yes you will learn when the time comes." She mewed. She flicked her tail before bunching up her hind legs. It was time for her to go. At last she could be at peace, no more messages to deliver then she paused for just a moment. "Tell Talon to Stay out of trouble...and that i will hold no judgement if he moves one." Her eyes sparkled with a brilliant light, she cared about the tom, but if it is one thing she learned from passing on was, you can't hold onto the past you need to let it go in order to flourish. The brown she-cat leaped into the sky before slowly fading while looking at her home. Just as First Speaker said, she would watch over them with care, always making sure her tribe mates were safe.
