The challenge hanging in the air between Drowsynose and Cherryblossom, taut as the clouds of a thunderstorm, draws the she-cat's anxious attention. The training grounds are no place for Ekat — not when she'd like to avoid sparring like it was a disease, and she had no apprentice of her own to...

Ekat startles at the sensation of a tiny paw against her leg, flinching with all the alarm had it been a predator's touch instead. The she-cat is unaccustomed to being poked for attention, especially not from someone who isn't in her line of vision — in fact, most of their Clanmates usually...

The frustrated words of the kit reach Ekat's ears, too, as she pads her way nearby — midnight-furred paws sinking lightly into the damp earth. Reflections might be distorted if the puddle gathered in an uneven hollow, perhaps, if something marred the surface, but Fawnkit sounded more distressed...

Ekat wasn't sure if she'd find anything within the endless mirage of snow when she'd set out into the forest that day, only hoping against hope that the blizzard wouldn't return. But as the scent of blood hits the roof of her mouth, the young warrior realizes with the sickening drop in her chest...

Ekat's paws ache with every frostbitten step, the blizzard's icy claws gnawing at her flesh and spirit alike. The snow pours down so thickly it seems to blur the edges of the world, reducing the she-cat's vision to a cold, unrelenting haze. Her heart leaps when she manages to catch Figfeather's...

Ekat lingers at the hollow's edge, shadowed beneath the stretching branches of a tree. Orangestar's voice carries easily through the crisp air, warm and triumphant, a striking contrast to the icy tension still settled in Ekat's bones. Even with the modest bounty brought in, the idea of a...

Ekat's blood immediately runs colder than the early leaf-bare frost encasing the forest floor in a fragile layer — her breath catching mid-inhale as Shrewflight's frantic cries shatter the air's stillness and force her head wrenching in the direction of the sound. The she-cat's heartbeat hammers...

Ekat had scarcely managed to track down a vole with the early leaf-bare frost crackling beneath uncertain pawsteps when Jupiterpaw's cry of alarm cleaved through the forest chill — sending a wave of dread that surged over the frozen she-cat. Dog. From then, the seconds blur together as their...

Despite herself, Ekat still startles when the apprentice near her bursts through the dried, crackling leaves underpaw and closes in on her prey with an instinctive bite to its retreating tail. The she-cat blinks at Jupiterpaw in startled silence for a moment, willing her heart to stop racing as...

Hearing her name come from Doeblaze's lips has Ekat flinching with all the severity of being burned. The quiet she-cat was accustomed to watching and listening and usually never speaking up, certainly not because her opinion was directly asked. It's sudden and strange, and she blinks owlishly at...

Ekat doesn't often find herself paying attention to the hazel-covered medicine den, for which she can only be thankful. The she-cat gratefully hasn't fallen ill or gotten any injuries during her moons in SkyClan — something Ekat would attribute not to luck but to her great sense of caution, and...

Ekat is among the patrol making their way back into the hollow — her thoughts far away as usual while she pads silently behind their Clanmates. It is only when her paws brush against a soft, unfamiliar material underfoot that the warrior is jolted to the present with a sudden flinch. A sharp...

Ekat finds herself among the small group settled in the clearing beneath the growing darkness — but, of course, lying off to the side and not engaging in their spirited chatter. She simply observes in her usual melancholic silence, the midnight-furred she-cat's presence merely that of one of the...

Ekat can feel her pulse hammering in her ears as her Clanmates begin to gather before her, the incessant drumbeat of her nervous heartbeat drowning out their idle chatter. Her gaze flicks nervously towards Orangestar, the leader's presence a looming weight at the ravine's edge even as her focus...

Ekat couldn't help but be drawn to the spar unfolding in the ravine, slowly padding to join the other spectators at the clearing's edge like a moth that's found a distant light. The midnight-furred warrior tends to avoid the company of their Clanmates when she can afford to, yet still she sits...
