Introduction
"Now, now, Link, don't stray too far. You know your mother wouldn't approve." A middle-aged she-cat called to the young prince, whom she was to watch for her queen. The pale brindled tom-kit had wandered towards the opening of the cozy private nursery, moonlight shown faintly through the entrance way illuminating his caramelized eyes. "I haven't left Ezera, I just want to have a look." The determined Link craned his neck in hopes to catch a glimpse of the cats outside. "I don't see mother." "Don't fret, she'll return shortly. Come back to the nest, a growing kit such as yourself should get their rest. How else will you be able to assume the role of king when the time comes?" At this comment, the formerly preoccupied kit bounded back to his sitter. Eagerness and wonder shone in his round, pebble-like eyes. "Oh I will be strong enough Ezera. I'll be the greatest king the monarchy has ever seen! Mother says that once I'm older father will teach me all he knows." His energized mew faded into a whisper. Purrs rumbled from the tabby orange she-cat at the innocent ambition in the little kit's voice. Lowering her head so her bristled tongue could rasp over the prince's head, who was much too lost in wonder at what the future held to bother to flinch away. ♛
Meanwhile, only fox-lengths from the nursery, the king spoke to his mate in hushed tones. "Celeste, I mean what I say when I tell you that I will not stand for your actions for much longer. If you cannot change for me, or our son... I will leave you." Desperation welled in the she-cat's dark blue eyes, her whiskers trembled. "Ansem..." Was all she could muster through her quivering lips. "I... I love you Celeste, but you must know that your actions are completely unacceptable and I won't allow it to become what our monarchy is known for." His blue-grey queen lowered her gaze to the ground beneath her, as if looking for words etched into the packed dirt. "Ansem, if you love me... you will stand by me." Not capturing her true notion, the brown and ginger king pressed his head against his mate. Celeste released a satisfied purr. She watched Ansem turn and pad back to his den, an ominous smile crept onto her face, "Or I shall have to overthrow the king." Rules

Territory Red Bud Grove Dubbed the most romantic spot in the Monarchy's territory. This cluster of trees is found at the north east corner of the territory. The land slopes down into a divot where the red buds grow. They are most beautiful during leaf fall when the brightly colored buds are at their ripest. Vast Forest Making up the majority of the Monarchy's territory this forest's name suits it well. A variety of different deciduous trees grow in the forest. Plenty of foliage for prey cover dots the land. The trees also provide nice shade during hot green leaf moons. The edges of the Vast Forest mark the border for the Monarchy. Pebble Brook The cool little stream cuts right through the center of the Vast Forest. It gets its name from the mass amounts of pebbles that line its shore. Pebble Brook can easily be leaped over by most fit cats, but there are a few ways to cross in a less physically demanding way. Some parts are shallow enough to wade across and two small trees have fallen across it on the east and west side. Crystalline Caverns This mysterious landmark is located the west half of the territory. A small opening in the trees reveals a cave. Once inside you will be mesmerized by the glimmering walls and ceiling, which are thought to be crystals. There's a little pool inside as well as a few series of maze-like openings and tunnels. Novices are forbidden from here.
Meadow Clearing South of Red Bud Grove this large clearing is a popular spot in new leaf. New flowers are blooming and the air smells so sweet. Though its not a very common hunting ground. Novices are often trained here and its a hot-spot for medicinal herbs.
Camp Location In the southernmost part of the territory you will find a vertical cliff side that stretches the bottom half of the territory. The camp is placed against the base of the rocky wall. Various plants and large branches have been woven together to create a front wall, leaving a rather wide entrance. Royal Den At the very back of the camp is a pile of stone. Long before the monarchy something cause some of the rocks on the cliff to crumble. This has been turned into the royals den because is its roomy enough for the whole family and the den can be scaled to hold announcements. Mender's Den In the center of a dip in the ground grows a Japanese maple bush, which acts as a roof for the mender's den is held. Spacious enough to store all herbs and even a few lame patients. It sits to the left of the Royal Den. Combatant & Hunter's Den To the right of the Royal's den a large, hollowed tree log serves as the den for the backbones of the clan. It is presumed to belong to the stump that is the Novice den, as it lies right beside it.
Novice's Den It is situated in a hollowed out tree stump beside the Combatant & Hunter's den. As an addition to space some of the earth beneath the roots has been dug out as well. Nursery The nursery is the only cat-made den in camp, built right into the left corner of the front wall. Fortified with plenty of twigs and strong plants. Its protected and cozy. Elder's Den Two hazel bushes that grow next to one another create a nice sized den for our retired elders. Its located right across the nursery, on the right side of the front wall.
Traditions History There isn't a very commemorative way that the Monarchy came to be. Simply a group of cats traveling together came upon the supportive territory that the Monarchy sits on today. Arguing was frequent and when they all had enough it was decided that they band together or fight for the rest of their lives. So a leadership system was born and cultivated all their own. King & Queen The king and the queen rule together as one unit. One does not overpower the other and they make their decisions together, voicing all concerns and rationalistic ideas. When a king dies and his mate lives, she may choose a new mate, who will assume the role of king and vice versa. In the event that both rulers die or step down, their oldest living kin - beginning with offspring - may take the throne. If there is no one eligible to assume the position, the mender and elders cast a vote for the new king or queen. Prince & Princess The first born is always next in line for the throne. If a king and queen do not have any offspring or kin, they may appoint who will be next in line. Mender The healer of the clan, they are trained in herbal uses as well as having the knowledge to mend broken bones. Menders are not to have a mate and kits as it could distract them from their work. Combatant These cats are the muscle of the Monarchy. If trouble ever should arise they are first in line to fight. The combatants also are in charge of border patrols. Hunter They are the providers of the Monarchy, hunting for food to sustain their loved ones. They are second in line when it comes to fighting. Novice The young cats learning their trade to keep the Monarchy going. Once a kit turns six moons old they are given a test to decide whether they will be a combatant or a hunter. When completed there will be a decision on who will mentor them. Elders Deserving the utmost respect of all in the monarchy. They have paid their dues to their monarch mates and have retired to a life of relaxation. Elders are also believed to be closest to the monarchy's deceased and often dream of their passed loved ones. Ancestors The Monarchy believes in their kin and fellow monarch mates who have passed on. They look to them for guidance and can even visit them through dreams. All noble cats go to the stars to look down upon the Monarchy while those tainted are believed to turn into negative emotions such as hate, despair, fear and envy.

Allegiances
the royal family
King Ansem A majesty in himself, Ansem is an exceptionally handsome tom having a light ginger and brown brindled pelt. His eyes are a dark caramel color, soft and warm. There is a niche in his right ear as well as a few scars dotting his muzzle, they tell stories of bravery and overall unwavering protection for his fellow monarchs. Ansem is charming, as a king should be. Noble to heart this king has gathered much wisdom in his years. As chivalrous as our king may seem, even the strongest of cats have their flaws, Ansem's being his unfaltering trust in his followers or any cat to be exact. This can make the tom blind to toxic cats, plotting against him. 65 moons old. ( cнєѕαρєαкєღ ) Queen Celeste There's no question as to why Ansem chose Celeste as his queen, her beauty matches the title quite well. If only her once sweet and head strong nature had stayed with it. She has a rather small frame, making her look fragile. A coat of dark blue-grey fur covers her. Inquiring dark blue eyes rest inside her head. Celeste is a hoax, she puts up kind fronts to mask her horrible ambitions inside. She is menacing and uncaring to what happens to those around her. The thirst for power has proved too much and has turned this once noble queen into a bitter traitor. 54 moons old. ( cнєѕαρєαкєღ ) Prince Link As dashing as his father Link has the same light brown brindled pelt, only with light grey accents instead of ginger. His eyes are caramel in color and hold the same inquiring gaze that his mother has. Another charmer in the royal family, Link has a way of trying to make others feel good. He can be quite playful and enjoys doses of sarcasm. Though his naivety can prove to be unfavorable for him especially since he's next in line for the throne. Link has also picked up some of his mother's bitter temper. Through and through, the prince is noble and honest to his monarchy. He tries his best. 9 1/2 moons old. ( cнєѕαρєαкєღ ) Allegiances

Allegiances
combatants
Atho His long hair carefully hides his toned muscles and easily makes him look twice his actual size. Atho's fur is solid dark brown except for the dash of cream on his chest. This tom may seem intimidating but Atho is a big softie. Always in a jolly mood and wanting to lift others up. He's easy to talk to and you can usually get a laugh from his conversations. Don't take his sincerity for granted though, Atho can turn into the scary tom he looks like at the flick of a tail. He is a fierce fighter and does not tolerate disrespectful attitudes. 27 moons. ( cнєѕαρєαкєღ ) Taureek Taureek is an exceptionally large cat - he was always the largest amongst other kits and novices, and still towers over many amongst the Clan. He has long legs and strong muscles rippling beneath his thick, long white pelt. His optics are a pale yellow, and don't stand out much, unlike they would if they were a piercing blue, like his mothers had been. Taureek is an introvert - he will chatter on but socialising drains him and he prefers to hide away and study the leaves he collects on his 'travels'. Taureek is a very spiritual cat. Although he is not a mender, he still tries to connect with his ancestors through his dreams, and will often pray to them. 53 moons. ( CԾᏕოᎥ꒝ DuᏕϮ ) Character Description. Age in moons. ( roleplayer ) Allegiances
hunters
Ryn A slender body with lightly toned muscles is what is most prominent when you look at this she cat. Pale, dusky brown fur cloak her frame other than a cream patch over the left side of her face. Her eyes are dark amber and constantly glisten. Ryn is a very cheery cat, it isn't often to find her in a sour mood. She's a free spirit, hard to be tamed, but very easy to talk to. Ryn isn't quick to judgement and is fairly open minded. She is one of those "forgive but never forget" characters so be careful if you plan on hurting her. 27 moons.

Allegiances
novices
Pax Combatant in training. A wiry fur ball. His body size isn't impressive but his swiftness is what has gotten him into combatant training. His pelt is pretty simple, just black and white. Pax's eyes are piercing green, they always give him an angry look. Maybe its his strange name or the fact that he doesn't know his family, Pax has a fire in his belly. His fierce nature can be useful in battle but don't aid him socially. The tom has a hard time keeping his temper under control so he often lashes out, not always meaning it though. Pax does have his soft spots, you just have to find them. 8 moons old. ( cнєѕαρєαкєღ ) Akina Hunter in training. The hide of this she cat is dappled in all sorts of different colours and shapes - black, brown, ginger and white, and smudges, flecks and patches. In other words, she's a tortoiseshell. She got her colourings from her great grandmother, who was also a tortoiseshell, according to her mother. Akina's eyes are green/yellow in colour, and are neither largely round or tiny. Within them, although barely noticeable, is darker brown flecks around her pupil. Akina's build is rather slim, and she does not have much strong muscles yet, but she hopes to gain some muscle as the moons pass and she gets older. Akina's personality can change within a split second. One minute she'll be happily chattering away, and the next she'll be storming off in fury. You need to pick the right time to strike a conversation with her, otherwise reasoning proves difficult. Sometimes Akina gives off a feeling of being spoilt. She has a loving mother, but barley makes time to see her. But although she is often not the kindest cat, Akina will sometimes say something nice, or show gratitude in some form, you just have to be talking to her in one of her gentle moods. 7 moons. ( CԾᏕოᎥ꒝ DuᏕϮ ) Ozni/Oz Combatant in training. Ozni is simple and common in colouring - black and white. His pelt is mainly white, but scattered across him is splodges the colour of ink. His chin is also black, along with a black fleck on his right ear. Ozni's eyes are a yellowish green, and rather round. The tomcat is already quite large for his age, and strong without meaning to be. As a kit, his mother often chuckled at this, calling him ''large and clumsy'' as he'd often knock other cats over without meaning to. However, despite his somewhat intimidating appearance, Ozni is a big softie, and is more mature than most novices. Instead of playing he'd rather be involved in the ''big cat'' talk, even though he is often dismissed due to his young age. Even though he seems like an extremely kind cat, even Ozni has a darker side. When he gets involved in a squabble, he will sometimes accidently hurt his opponent more than originally intended, with both physical and verbal actions - which is something Ozni wishes he could improve about himself. 9 1/2 moons.

elders
Ezera Once a vibrant looking orange tabby she cat, now her pelt seems rather faded and rugged. Her eyes however have managed to hold their liveliness. They're large round pools colored a dark sunset orange. Ezera had been a combatant until the prince had been born when her new profession had become kit sitting. Her friendly and almost mothering disposition proved good for her appointed job. Now she is rather worn out but still enjoys the company of others. chesapeake Kaasni If you look very closely, you will be able to see some former beauty under the ragged silver tabby pelt and teary, old grey/blue eyes. In fact, when she was younger, Kaasni was a pretty striking she cat, but age has gotten the better of her. She had her final kit extremely late, and it is a miracle that Akina survived. Before she even became a Novice, Kaasni was forced to join the elders due to her current state. An unwell cat, Kaasni is rather underweight and is malnourished in appearance. In her youth, Kaasni was a hunter, and had never found the right cat to have kits with. She had always wanted kits, so when she found herself a mate she made sure she had one, even if she was rather old. However, her mate died of greencough not long after Akina's birth. A gentle but sometimes snappish she cat, Kaasni feels as if she has failed as a mother, sometimes wishing Akina would visit her more often. 109 moons. ( CԾᏕოᎥ꒝ DuᏕϮ ) Character Description.

Opening Post The sound of water rushing, swirling, bubbling echoed around the thick trunks of the trees towering high; their leaves intermingling to form a canopy perfect for the birds. A slight breeze disturbed the winged creatures nesting among the high twigs, shaking leaves now clashed with the sounds of the brook. Deep in the brush a young rabbit grazed at tender grasses, pausing every few moments to stand upon its hind legs, watching out for possible dangers. Bright golden beams of light struck the earth, poking between the branches of the trees. The comforting warmth it offered could remind you that of your kit hood, nestled close to your mother's belly. Such peace, such beauty; how could all of this serenity exist in just one place? If only the figure watching the leaves flow down the brook held the same peace inside of her, but if you looked, you would only see raw bitterness. A frown rested on her once soft face, her blue-grey tail flicked back and forth in annoyance. There must be a way. There has to be a way. Even the most cluttered minds could be cleared in a place like this, yet this one was only getting more and more tangled within itself. I deserve the throne. Much more than Ansem... They have to see that, they have to. I'm the stronger half. Envy can be such a brutal thing. It can make you creative though, "Ah, yes! That's it!" A smile broke out over the queen's visage. "Kill him..." She murmured to herself, "How though? I'd have to create some kind of tragic mis-" Crack. A brittle twig snapped. By what? A cat's paw? The she cat ducked down while she scanned the area, looking for any sign of another feline. There. A light brown patch of fur caught queen Celeste's attention. A hunter. The cat Celeste assumed to be Ryn took off for a few long, gracious strides before pouncing onto an unsuspecting mouse. The queen let go of her breath, she hadn't been seen, she hadn't been heard. Light flashed in her dark blue eyes, she whispered, "Murder." A soft chuckle fell out of her mouth, "My dear Ansem's death will have to be framed as murder." ♛ Camp seemed calm this morning. The start of green leaf had seemed promising. The sunlight that touched the young prince's back was warm and invigorating. Shouldn't be much longer now. He thought to himself. Link was well into his novice-aged moons, Ansem surely would begin passing his knowledge onto the coming king soon. Not that the small brindled tom should worry about having to take the throne in the near future. He still had his dream of being the best king he possibly could be. Taking in the fresh air he spotted his old sitter, Ezera, across camp. She was enjoying some of the welcoming sunlight as well. "Morning Ezera!" He called, hints of his smile showed in his voice. In response, the elder flicked her tail towards him; it was followed by a faint purr. This comforted the tom, lately Ezera seemed more of a mother to him than his actual one. Celeste seemed to be growing more absent as the moons passed. Link tried to keep this from bothering him but if he had the courage to admit it, it did.

[[ sorry i took so long to reply!! i had other stuff to do. feel free to let your charries interact with any others of mine 00: ]]
❃ Ozni ;; Ozni enjoyed the atmosphere of a Greenleaf morning. The warm rays of the sunshine warming his black and white pelt, the tranquil drowsiness which seemed to cling to each and every cat within the Clan - today seemed like the perfect morning, in his eyes. With the feeling of sleepiness still weighing down his eyelids, Ozni began his search to find someone to talk to in order to pass the time. He enjoyed a chat in the morning, to prepare him for the day. The Tom's yellow/green optics scanned the cats who were currently awake, and rested on another young Tom, with a brindle pelt and caramel-coloured eyes. Link. Ozni approached the other cat, dipping his head in welcome. Link was a full moon younger than him, but Ozni felt the need to greet him in such a way, due to the fact that he was a prince, not just any plain old Novice.
''Greetings, Link,'' Ozni meowed, aware that he was acting in the way he always did - as if he were older than he was.
--
❃ Kaasni ;; The elder was awoken by the welcoming call of another cat, obviously speaking to the only other elder around, Ezera. Kaasni was about to snap - she hated to be torn away from her dreams, but she held her tongue. Now was not the time to ruin the mood within camp. Instead, she took an entirely different approach, choosing an affable tone: ''Good morning, Ezera,'' she yawned, beginning to clean her pelt. It had been a while since she had last tidied up her fur - usually she couldn't find much motivation and would rather doze. This morning, however, there was a spark inside her. Perhaps today was going to be a good day.
--
❃ Akina ;; The rays of the sun streamed across the dappled pelt of the young she cat, making the browns appear more golden in colour and the blacks a warmer, dark brown/bronze. Boredom shone within the greenish optics of the Novice, as she searched helplessly for something to do. There was never much to do on mornings like this. She'd like to go hunting, but had no mentor awake to accompany her. Sighing loudly and pointedly, a bad mood drifting around her head, Akina dropped into a crouch. She didn't want to talk to anyone, so she might as well practice some hunting techniques.
--
❃ Taureek ;; A lilac butterfly fluttered past Taureek's nose that morning. It didn't land upon his snout, however, which he was slightly ashamed to admit that he was disappointed by, but tried not to show it. It was times like these that made him feel guilty for being a predator, killing other innocent ones in order to feed himself. No. Why was he thinking like this? A strong, well-built cat like him? No other cat amongst the Clan probably thought that. Taureek cursed to himself, in self-punishment, before swiping a paw at the butterfly, missing, and sitting himself down, observing the camp.

Link | Camp | Morning
The young prince seemed to gravitate to his retired sitter. He held a love for Ezera that was higher than that of the love he had for his own mother. Though he did harbor feelings of guilt about it. Before his legs to move him towards the elder's den, a voice caught in his ears. Link turned to see Ozni, one of the combatant novices. He flashed a crooked smile at the young tom. "Good morning! What are you up to?" The brindled cat couldn't help himself. He was the only kit to his parents. Link did have a sister named Stellar - she died shortly after birth however. The prince often got bored. A lot of the time the novices would be busy training, being a part of the royal family wasn't all it may be cracked up to be.

A low purr rumbled from the pale orange tabby she-cat. Though kind words came from Kaasni's mouth, Ezera had sensed her preconceived sourness. "Good morning to you, Kaasni." Seeing the other she-cat grooming almost inspired Ezera to groom herself but she'd rather enjoy the sunlight. Not to mention the peace and quiet. The camp was rather dead, all the other cats were either out or minding themselves. "Do you ever miss it?" She asked the silver tabby.

[[ okie dokie, that's fine! and yeah, we should make Pax and Akina talk to one another later on - that could be interesting xD i wonder why no one is joining, i thought more people would have by now, it feels so empty here. ]]
❃ Ozni ;; Ozni noticed how Link seemed to be making his way to the Elders den, before whirling around to face him. He knew how close the young prince was to the elder, Ezera, and hoped that he hadn't interrupted a friendly meeting between the two of them. He didn't bring up the matter, however, simply due to the fact that he'd rather talk to Link at this current time, and Ozni couldn't help but feel a stab of shame at his selfishness.
''Ah, nothing important,'' the Novice replied, sitting himself down and wrapping his feathery black and white tail around him in a polite manner, ''how about you? Anything going on at the moment?'' Ozni often couldn't help pondering on what it was like to be a prince. He couldn't imagine making a very good one, himself, but he had to admit he'd like to try it out for a day. He'd never asked Link what it was like to be part of royalty, though, it didn't seem like a particularly courteous question, and as everyone in the Clan knew, Ozni hated to appear impolite in the slightest - especially towards someone of as high status as Link.

❃ Kaasni ;; Kaasni finished giving herself a swift clean. She hadn't spent as much time on her fur as she would have in her younger moons, she realised, with an inward chuckle, but at least she didn't look as if she had been on an adventure through a prickly thornbush anymore. It would have to do.
The silver tabby's mist-coloured eyes moved towards Ezera, and she listened to what the other elder said. As she did so, Akina noticed how her hearing wasn't as strong as it used to be. Sure, she could still hear pretty well, and her sight was decent, too, but it wasn't as strong as it once was.
''You mean the camp?'' Kaasni responded, ''the action? My youth and work-filled days? Ah, of course I miss it, every single aspect of it. I know if I were still a Novice today, or even a Hunter, I'd be complaining about having to work for the Clan on such a lovely day - but right now I'd do anything to make the stiffness in my legs go away and for me to be racing after a rabbit.'' For a brief moment a distant look appeared within Kaasni's eyes, but before it could be completely detectable, the look had gone. ''I'm sure you miss it, too?'' the Elder added, turning back to Ezera.

{{ sorry i was busy the last two days! i know, i'm a bit disappointed :c }}
Link | Camp | Morning
Ozni had the young tomcat's full attention, his tail-tip flickered back and forth in elation. The novice was around the same age as Link, though a little older. Even at his age, however, he seemed rather statuesque. Being of the royal family, Link was naturally held at a higher status compared to the rest of the clan. As he grew older he was beginning to see farther past it. Perhaps it was the feelings of loneliness that seemed to tear down the walls that were supposed to separate the hierarchy from the rest.
Happy to hear the novice didn't have any prior duties, Link pounced at the opportunity to spend time with him. "Oh I'm not up to much, I'm not sure where my mother and father are. Do you want to go out to the forest?" He figured that maybe they could practice hunting or fighting. The brindled cat didn't have a mentor - his parents were supposed to teach him all he should know but with them absent at the moment, why not take advantage of the opportunity?
Ezera | Camp | Morning
While she listed to Kaasni's response, the old she-cat kept her eyes closed - as if to better picture the pair's youthful days. A rumbling purr emitted from deep within her at Kaasni's inquiry. "Of course, most days I do. Occasionally I feel much more relieved to be living the care-free life of an elder though." She chuckled as she was being slightly sarcastic. One probably wouldn't guess it but in her youth, Ezera had been a combatant. She is exceptionally large for a she-cat and had well defined muscled when she was young. Ezera could still recall how stressful the responsibility could be, she grew very tired in the last few moons as a combatant.
As she reminisced, her dark orange eyes became dewy while she looked in the distance. The orange tabby would never forget the day she had been appointed as the sitter of the new prince. As soon as Link had been born, Ezera had been at his side or at least right outside the nursery. It was odd how detached the queen was from her son, Ezera had never questioned it though. Since she never had any kits of her own, she quickly fell for the light brown tom. "I feel as though I've lived two lifetimes." Her voice was cheery, yet sincere.

[[ that's alright! life does get in the way sometimes! ah, im sure more people will join soon, don't worry. ]]
❃ Ozni ;;
Ozni would have been surprised at the attitude of the young prince - how he so swiftly jumped at the chance to be free of camp and spending time with another cat, like any other plain old Novice - if he didn't spend as much time with him. It was strange, really. Sometimes, Link didn't even seem to want to have the responsibility which came with being the prince. However, Ozni wasn't about to bring this up now - he wanted to explore just as much as the brindle tomcat before him did.
''I'd be delighted!'' the black and white tom exclaimed, gathering himself to his paws and trying not to make his excitable movements appear too clumsy.
Ozni whirled around, and broke into a trot, and then a steady run, towards the exit of camp, before skidding to a halt and glancing back at Link, a new kind of enthusiasm dancing within his yellow/green eyes. ''Well, what are you waiting for?'' he called, ''come on!''
--
❃ Kaasni ;;
The elder listened to her companion as she spoke of her own feelings at becoming one of the seniors of the Clan. Judging by the ways things sounded, Kaasni guessed that Ezera was taking this whole 'getting old and useless' thing a considerably greater deal better than she was, which made Kaasni's hackles prickle slightly, before she realised her foolishness and calmed her sea of frustration, again.
Once Ezera had finished speaking, Kaasni nodded in understanding. ''Sometimes, I just wish that I could be young again, though,'' the she cat replied, a look in her eyes that did not show complete sorrow but certainly not happiness, ''and, well, sometimes ... I feel that I didn't do enough in my youth. I often feel so much regret and I truly wish I could go back and change it all. Or maybe I did do enough ... maybe I just didn't focus on the good little things, instead I just looked at the big things I deemed important in my mind. Oh, what am I saying, anyway? I'm just a cranky old elder, don't listen to me.''
Not one to usually dive into the pool of deep talk, Kaasni recovered herself swiftly, once again putting on a cheerful attitude and laughing at her 'foolish' words. Truthfully, though, as she had been spilling out her emotions to the listening Ezera, her mind had drifted off to Akina, and how she had waited so long to even attempt to find a mate and settle down with a family of kits. She could have been a strong mother, her kits could have looked up to her as a strong hunter. Instead, Akina had been abandoned by her Mother, who had been forced to retire to the Elder's den barely a moon and a half into raising her. Such a role model she was. It sounded terrible when Kaasni thought of it like that, but really, it was the truth.
