Lost Steps

[starlight]

(Um.. this is open for any to join. I'm glad my characters got accepted, thank you^^ Now, to use them, right?)

There wasn't much to do after the morning hunt. Or rather, Sandcloud hadn't found anything to do. He simply ate, then went into the Smokeclan clearing. He didn't see anyone, and it felt like it had been a long time. From that, he felt lonely.

On a nice day such as this, it would be nice for someone to be there. He wondered silently, but said nothing out loud. Quietly, instead, he lay down on the ground, and closed his eyes.

He let himself be consumed by the warmth of the sun, and the ground itself was covered in warmth. It was nice enough to relax in, and possibly end up in a little nap.

OOC: You're welcome^^

After sleeping a bit in the Medicine Cat den, Firepelt woke up with a stretch. After a yawn, she looked outside. With the morning only at its beginning, the sun was still rising upward. However, it was high enough already to give the clearing some heat that rid away the cold from the night.

.......It looked like it'd be a nice day out.

She decided she would start the day by filling herself with a couple mice. After having woken up, her body ached with hunger. She wasn't starving, but it was enough of motivation. With keeping that in mind, Firepelt went to take some mice from the fresh kill pile. She took them to a nearby rock, and ate.

It was when she finished that it was noticed someone in the clearing as she was. She saw Sandcloud lying on the ground, soaking in the warmth of the sun's rays. She felt like she hadn't seen him, or anyone in fact, for awhile. She wanted to approach him, and give a friendly greeting, but... perhaps she should let him enjoy his nap.

[starlight]

Around that monent, Sandcloud opened his eyes. Golden eyes glimmered in the light of the sun, and pupils in the shape of slits did not scan the surroundings. ...Instead, they focused on one spot.

Almost immediately, he recognized the cat looking his way. "Hello, Firepelt." He purred as he sat up, grooming his paw that had a mess of fur after he had layed down.

"It's a nice day, isn't it? Still early too. I wonder what can be done on such a nice day. I'd offer a bit of sparing, but you are a Medicine Cat." He yawned, before giving his legs a stretch.

[ℱirepelt]

OOC: I am bringing this back if you'd like to continue^^


The she-cat blinked with a small bow of her head. "Greetings..." With a quick stroke of a tongue on her paw, Firepelt moved that paw to rub the back of her ear. From there, she would continue with a purr, "It certainly is a nice day, but yes I do not spar. However, perhaps we can take a little walk?"

She stood up and moved towards the volcano. The giant sky breaker that could wipe away nature itself. Yet...it was beautiful still. Though a surprise her clan still stayed even after it threw up hot molten rock many many moons ago. That was when Skyclan joined with Lavaclan to become now Smokeclan. A piece of history Firepelt couldn't forget.

[starlight]

(Oh, this thread disappeared, but since it back, sure :0)

"A walk? Why not then? I'll gladl jon you, Firepelt."

After hat was done and said, Sandcloud walked forwards to catch up wih the black feline.

"Seems like it truly has been awhile since i could enjoy such pleasantries, and with someone no less. But I fear I may lack the conversation ability that can last more than a few fox lengths."

(Um, I honestly forgo my own cat's personality, please baer with me :s)

[ℱirepelt]

OOC: I've done the same whereas a character I make, the personality ends up differently from when I first wrote it. I see no problems with it, as I find it kind of cool^^; I can bring your bios back, if you'd like.


"Mind that not." The she-cat answered. She stopped not long after, glancing over to him with what could be described as a distant loneliness. She moved on then. Eventually, they made it to the volcano itself. The small den, perhaps it wouldn't be considered small necessarily, though still. It wasn't so deep in. It use to be. "Memories..." Firepelt mewed.

She looked over to Sandcloud, and gave way to a light purr. It was soft, humming through her throat into a vocal noise. "A pleasure to know one remains. I can only hope to see more return...hope."

The cat jumped on a rock and climbed a few more, before she would have to look down to see the tom. Firepelt sat down, then lay on her stomach, soaking in the sun. While doing so, Firepelt closed her eyes and yawned. "You may join me. Mere relaxation."

[starlight]

(Can you please? I hope i'm not asking too much)

[ℱirepelt]

OOC: He is in the Accepted Bios now, and I did the same for Starlight in case you wanted her too. Is my post alright to go off of by the way?

[starlight]

(Yes, thank you)

Sandcloud saw the pain she was going through. He did not voice a thing however, thinking she wasn't onr who wanted to hear hom agree or sounf like he was pitying het.

He watcgef her get on the rock. A single bow of the head told her he agreed. He'd rest and relax. Nothing was there to do other than at the moment.

[ℱirepelt]

OOC: You are welcome^^

BIC:

For a few minutes, Firepelt kept her eyes closed. She almost drifted off before she opened her eyes. Her emerald green eyes shimmered in the sun's light, but it didn't seem the sun would be out for much longer. A lot of clouds were coming. Dark as they filled with water.

"We will need to find shelter soon." She alerted him while climbing down the rocks. After getting back where Sandcloud was, she motioned to a nearby cavern. "I could like the rain, but not be out the whole time. Over there will do, if you think so too."

[starlight]

"Resting there would be fine." Sandcloud answered as he started walking over to hat location.

"Firepelt...is this how we havr to be? How we'll have to keep livng? Don't know about you, but it's fetting unbearable for me. It's...all tge same.. where is everyone, only Moonclan knows. Have yoy even-"

He stopped homself. Sandcloud realized what he said outloyd. To her. The cat who had been through so much more than gim.

He stopped wakjing and stood staring at his paws. "I'm sorry..I didn't mean to-" he stopped himdelf again and simply stared down.

[ℱirepelt]

Silently, Firepelt had followed. She listened with a distant saddened gaze from her eyes. She sat down, curling her tail around her paws. For a moment after Sandcloud apologized, silence rang around. The distant gaze she gave foretold she wasn't the same as before. Who she was now wasn't her.

However, she should act the part. Be the Medicine Cat she was, be the cat she had been moons ago. The cat everyone who were no longer present know her as. For that, she purred, having the dense atmosphere become lighter. "Worry not. You are not alone with your thoughts. Now I ask, what is it you'd like to do then? Are you willing to leave the clans to have a change in life?"

While the questions weren't rhetorical, she did gesture with a flick of her tail he not answer right away. He should think about it. So, she continued heading for the cavern that would protect their fur from the upcoming storm. It didn't often rain in Smokeclan, but it could be rather harsh rain for when it did. Sometimes it was too hard to even see.

[starlight]

Sandcloud respected her gesture, and so refrained from responding to thr questions. He felt he mifghtrve been too harsh, but zhe took it more lightly than Sandcloud thought shd would. Sandcloud took it as a chance to keep from upsetting her.

He did follow the she-cat though.

"I may just sleep through the rain." He meowed. "I use to always do so when I was a kit. I'd say in the early days of apprenticeship too."

Those were the days I was an entergetic obnoxious little runt too. I was wild...then again, arent most kits.

What he thought to himself, none came as questions. He figured to already know the answer. There was no other doubt in his mind, and so he continued to follow, eventually arriving at thr cavern itself.

[ℱirepelt]

"Pleasant." She purred while walking over to a flat area of the soil. It was kind of warm for something that had been hidden from the sun. Perhaps the sunlight still managed to touch the soil before the clouds rolled in.

Laying down on it, Firepelt wrapped her tail around herself. She groomed her tail for a moment, and looked back at Sandcloud. "Rain can be nostalgic they say. Though it doesn't always have to be. Many would interpret the weather in different ways. What say you?"

She looked outside, seeing a slow drizzle start. She soon added, "After this, let's try doing something fun. Perhaps a bit of an adventure. That is what you'd like?"

[starlight]

"A bit of adventure? Yes, i believe it is what i lately have a taste for." He answered with a soft purr. "What kind could it be? What's out there? Yes, I'd like to find out."

Sandcloud went inside after her, and licked his paw. Afterwards, he cleaned his ear using tht paw. Soon enough, he turned his attention back to Firepelt.

"The westher is mysterious to me. It can be unpredictable. I agree with what yoy say though. I cannot help but feel the sunlight makes me happy."
