The sun filtered through the nursery, putting a spotlight on a lovely scene. Onyxkit was cuddled up to his mother's soft belly fur, both sleeping somewhat soundly. That is until a bright patch of sun made its way onto the small kit's face, causing him to grumble to himself as he opened his blue eyes. He stood up on shaky legs and stretched his back and gave a big yawn, which caused him to lose his balance and fall over. He looked over at his mother, seeing her for the first time, she was beautiful. He was distracted though by the sounds of chattering cats right outside to den. He stood up on his short, stubby legs and tried taking an unsteady step forward to see what all the noise was about.
through the murk of sleep, aconiteshade registered a few things. light, delicate, dim light, drifting down from above and beyond into the den as if the air itself was honeyed. a whisper of a wind, its fragile fingers fanning through the air and combing through her feathered fur. the small form of her child, pressed to her own and - where was her child?
an inexplicably strong sense of panic stirred within her as she sought the compact warmth of onyxkit and found nothing. long, dark lashes would flick open to reveal terror manifested in eyes of topaz. aconiteshade rose upon legs still leanly muscled from her time as a warrior, and promptly sank back into her nest with a soft sigh of relief. onyxkit was fine.
"good morning, onyxkit," aconiteshade murmured, biting back how he'd worried her so. the black smoke tabby blinked warmly at her son, not quite knowing what to say, before trying, "would you like to see the camp?"
Behind him was the sound of someone stirring, it seems his mother is awake. He turned back on his unsteady legs to meet the kind eyes of his mother. "Good morning Aconiteshade," his voice was small and childlike as he spoke for the first time. His body swayed on his unsteady paws as he took a step towards his mother."would you like to see the camp?" His ears perked up and he nodded his head fast, a little too fast and fell on his haunches.
eyes of liquid topaz softened as they met her son, lingering upon onyxkit's legs and noting his trembling totter of a gait. delicate, children were so delicate; her child was so delicate, and it sparked a fear in aconiteshade no predator ever could.
the queen's love was a constant one, unwavering and unceasing, and yet it felt as new as ever, as though it was only now that it was flickering into existence. at onyxkit's first words, aconiteshade felt a surge of warmth, and another one as he drew closer.
a purr burst forth at onyxkit's enthusiasm only for the she-cat to lapse into stunned silence as the kit stumbled. the black smoke tabby rushed forward, the very image of an overprotective mother as yellow eyes searched the child for any sign of injury. when she finally exhaled, it was a breath of relief.
"follow me," murmured aconiteshade, rising to her paws and letting her tail arc out behind her in a single, fluid movement. a soft smile graced the queen's features as she entered the camp. the sun painting her form like liquid gold, she moved with a deliberate slowness, waiting for onyxkit to join her at the fresh-kill pile. "this is the fresh-kill pile. apprentices and warriors hunt every day so everyone can eat."
not everyone, a small voice whispered from the back of her skull. you more than anyone know that.
His mother's purr warmed his heart, loving her immensely. She was his whole world at the moment, just like he was for her. "Follow me," his mother said, leading him out into the camp. His little legs wobbled as he followed Aconiteshade into the bright camp. His eyes squinted at first, then once he got used to the light, widened in awe. "Wow," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. His mother was beside the fresh-kill pile as she pointed to different things in the camp. "this is the fresh-kill pile. apprentices and warriors hunt every day so everyone can eat." He nodded his head, walking towards the prey and giving it a sniff. His ears flattened against his head at the odd smell. He looked at his mother and rubbed his head on her leg, until something caught his eye. There was a den on top of a high and tall rock. "What's that, Mama," his voice was curious as he asked his mother.
May~Riin: Sorry, Skyy and Thin, I'm not sure where Nyx is, hopefully they'll return soon. I looked now and don't have the power to set up that stuff, does anyone else have that?? Might be because I'm a queen, but idk....
