private THE GREAT PROTECTOR — howlingstar

[EMBERFACE.]

☼—— Emberkit is playing just inside the nursery entrance today; his siblings are off somewhere else, asleep or entertaining themselves, and the other queens tend to their own kits. His papa is here, but his father told him he should let Sunfreckle rest—and he's definitely sleeping, Emberkit can tell, and he wants to be a good kit and let him sleep. So today he's a little bored; his spirits aren't weighed down by it, though—quite the opposite, as a desire to entertain himself has led to him playing little stories out with his rocks. He can only come up with so many stories, though, since he's not old enough to go see the elders on his own and stuff. His rocks have already fought the Battle of the Great Oak like, a thousand times!

He hears a sound just outside of the protective wall, round golden ears sitting at attention; he pokes his head around its edge, wide blue eyes peering at a brown tabby shape. It's Howlingstar! Their leader! Probably the coolest cat in the whole Clan—no, in the whole forest! His cheery spirits not yet dampened by intimidation, Emberkit glances about and bounds out; after all, he's right outside the nursery, and Howlingstar could protect him from anything, he's sure of it. With a backwards look at the sleeping shape of his papa, Emberkit bounces on his little golden paws and squeaks, "How-Howlingstar! Howlingstar, can y-y-you tell me a story?" His kitten-blue eyes are bright with cheer; he's getting way better at words already! He really is learning lots.

[HOWLINGSTAR]

It seems like only yesterday she had found the creamy-furred kitten out in the forest, all alone and hungry. He's since been dubbed Emberkit, in honor of the leader before herself. A wonderful name. She recalls smiling in deep approval upon finding it out - Emberstar would be smiling too, she's sure. Now, he's big enough to be bouncing out of the nursery on clumsy paws, eyes stretched wide with wonder as he comes to a stop in front of her.

Immediately, she grins. It is no secret Howlingstar is deeply maternal. Kits are just about one of her favorite things in the world, and telling stories is right up there with it. She glances around, judging how much time she has between tasks, before ultimately deciding she has time for just one story. "Alright," She sighs, feigning exasperation as she settles down into a crouch. Her forepaws open up, inviting the small kit to sit with her. Tail-tip tapping contedly against the ground, she purrs, "What story would you like to hear about? The Great Clans? StarClan?"​

 

[EMBERFACE.]

☼—— emberkit awaits the leader's reply with wide blue eyes, bouncing lightly on his paws still. howlingstar, the coolest cat in the whole forest, is talking to him! and smiling at him! the golden tom gives her a big grin in return, excited to hear if she can tell him a story. howlingstar is, like, the oldest cat he knows, and the important-est, so he bets she has some really good stories too. so, naturally, he cheers in excitement when she sighs and crouches to his level, offering him a seat he happily takes, his huge tail wrapped around him and twitching with unrepressed joy. emberkit looks over at her brown-furred face, beaming and debating what he wants to hear about.

starclan ... he doesn't know much about starclan, only that they live up in the sky and lots of cats live there—the one he's named after, he knows, having picked that up off a clanmate. starclan sounds interesting, and cool, and sparkly, and he wants to hear about it. but, the great clans sound really cool. even their name is cool; it sounds big, and impressive, and super amazing, kind of like his papa. sunfreckle is really big, and so is rabbitnose, and emberkit hopes he'll grow up to be big like them! after a moment's debate, he mews in a voice bright with kitten happiness, "the great cl-clans! i wanna hear ab-about them, please!" emberkit's eyes are practically shining with excitement, so much that he nearly forgets to politely add the 'please'.

[HOWLINGSTAR]

It doesn't take long for the little one to make up his mind. Howlingstar's chest rumbles with an amused purr as she settles in further. "My kits used to love hearing those stories, too," She chuckles, wrapping her tail around herself. The Great Clans of course weren't the Great Clans back then. Just the Great Cats. Lions, tigers, and leopards had now become LionClan, TigerClan, and LeopardClan to be more relevant to the modern day youth who wouldn't know anything but clan-life. It's funny how much changes over time, even her stories.

"The Great Clans existed long ago, many, many seasons before us cats walked the land. There were three of them: LionClan, the clan of hulking golden beasts with manes that flowed like fire. TigerClan, the stalkers in the night, with blazing red pelts cloaked in shadowy stripes. And LeopardClan, the swift climbers, with golden fur that looks like black pawprints raced across it and stained it with black mud." Oh, how she loves spinning these familiar tales. The words flow from her tongue like a habit. She's told these stories so many times she hardly has to think about it.​

 

[EMBERFACE.]

☼—— his wide eyes are fixed on howlingstar, large tail swishing in excitement about the story—though he's momentarily distracted by the mention of her kits. he doesn't know why it boggles his mind so, the idea that thunderclan's regal leader has kits—he's young, not yet familiar with the various adult cats who are her kits, mouth falling open in surprise. howlingstar is the leader, not a queen, and like, the oldest cat he knows—not like his own papa, who stays in the nursery. "you have kits?" he squeaks in shock, pawing at the ground in excitement, but turns his mind back to the story with surprising attention.

emberkit listens attentively, occasionally flicking his ears, sparkling eyes settled on the leader as he listens to her tale of the great clans; tigerclan with striped red pelts, leopardclan with black spots, and the one he instantly decides is his favorite—lionclan, the golden beasts with fiery manes. "i think my papa is from tigerclan! his fur is r-red, too," he decrees, thinking of sunfreckle's reddened pelt, and adds, "and - and i wanna be a lionclan cat! i have a golden p-pelt, and a mane too!" his mew is cheerful as he paws at his fluffy cream chest.
