Rubbleclan

The Garden- Rubbleclan September Event

Silentkit lazed in the fading sunlight. She loved to lie under the bushes on hot days, where the moss was slightly moist and the leaves cast shadows, though her favorite spot was much nicer than this. If you found the right bush, at the right time of day, you could see a hole under the bush. This is the opening to a large underground cave system. As it got dark, Silentkit leaped gracefully down the hole. Only a cat as thin as her could possibly fit through the opening. Silentkit tumbled along the tunnel until she reached her favorite spot: a cave that was always lit by a soft orange light. This light was created by sunlight filtering through a piece of orange see-through rock that covered a hole in the roof of the cave. Technically, this was still part of the clan camp, but here, Silentkit had her own clan. Morningclan.

In the cave of Morningclan, Silentkit became Silentstar, proud mother and ruler. Silentkit purred, lost in a world where she was important. She nodded to her warriors, invisible to all but herself, and smiled at her mate. She strutted to the nursery, a corner of the room where she had gathered dried moss to form a nest of sorts. Silentstar curled around her precious kits, licking the heads of each in turn, before closing her eyes to a dream of grandeur.

When she woke, Silentkit was greeted by the lovely orange rays of sunlight coming from the ceiling. Instantly her loyal clanmates appeared, waiting for her orders. Silentstar's face glowed. "Brushingflight, take a group out hunting near the surface. Greentail, can you get a patrol and check all the entrances?" The respective invisible warriors nodded and began to gather two groups of cats. As they left through one of the many tunnels, Silentstar's mate brushed beside her. "You should probably go up to the surface, Rubbleclan might be looking for you," he said. "Take care of the kits while I'm gone, okay?" Silentstar replied, smiling at the handsome tom. "I will," he assured her as she bounded up the narrow passage that led back to Rubbleclan.
