Let's begin.
The setting of this story takes place during a warm Greenleaf's day in the arctic. But not the icy desolate wilderness that we're used to. The landscape was lush and green and constant sunshine has supercharged the whole forest with thriving vegetation. It's a feast to feed the biggest and hungriest of all the beasts. Some are small but thousands make their way here to feed on the lush vegetation. A huge beast as tall as a three story building on its legs was plucking some of the rich vegetation to feed on. One of the leaves began to blow across as the cats in this group were feeding on the vegetation. Mainly low to the ground feeding on ferns and scraps of vegetation that the huge beasts leave behind. Some of the kits born a couple of months ago saw the leaf as they began to chase after it. Thinking they were going to get the leaf. They prepared to leap up when a huge four legged spiky beast snatched the leaf up with its tongue. The kits were disappointed seeing the huge armored animal beat them to it. Their mother padded over to them.
"Hello Sparrow thanks for the leaf." The spiky beast called out to them as it lumbered off into the forest.
"I wanted that leaf!" One of the she-kits wailed as they wanted it.
"Hey that was mine." A black and brown tom-kit hissed as he wanted the leaf. Sparrow their mother turned to them.
"Calm down kit's there's more than enough for us all." Sparrow Cry mewed softly to the kits. The kits soon went off to begin feeding. Turtle the so called oddball calico tom-kit was looking at the huge spiky beast as it slowly lumbered away.
"Sparrow? What is that beast that ate the leaf?" Turtle asked her as he was curious about the beast as he watched it feed on some low lying ferns.
"That's a spiky Nodosaur Turtle. He prefers to feed alone. We're friendlier like us cats and the huge friendly beasts around us to protect us." Sparrow's cry mewed as she leads Turtle back to the safety where the kits could feed. Turtle plucks some fern leaves free as he began to eat them. While plants didn't hold that much nutrients, it was readily available. However they would try other things to keep this hunger at bay. One of the baby beasts came along as it began to feed on the plants too. Turtle knew he had to share despite the abundance of food. Turtle turned to Sparrow as he was wondering about the friendly beasts that they lived among.
"What are the friendly beasts?" Turtle asked Sparrow's cry wondering what they were called. There were kits of the beasts too that were also intermingling with the cats as they fed on the vegetation.
"Those are Edmontosaurus Turtle. Just like us, they come to feed on the endless supply of food. A tree length long and weighing as much as 8 thousand mice, they dwarf everything around us. We are on good terms with them since us cats are thriving under their watchful eyes." Sparrow's cry padded off as she went to go feed on the vegetation. Turtle looked away as Tiger's leap padded up as he was the strongest of the bunch.
"When you and your siblings were born here at the very end of the Newleaf when we first arrived here, the sun won't stop shining on you. There is plenty to eat. Lots of light and warmth. And most importantly plenty to play with your extended family." Tiger's leap responded as he began to feed on the ferns. Turtle had everything going his way as the huge herbivores continued to circle around and feed on the lush vegetation. Turtle felt off about this. Because of the constant daylight, there was no darkness and according to the cats, it's a blessing. Turtle looked around seeing a mammal scurry among the trees. This caused a branch to snap off as the branch fell to the ground. Turtle padded away from the safety of the group to investigate.
Turtle soon came upon the fallen branch as he looked down to see what it was. The branch's leaves were rotten and close to crumbling off of the branch. Turtle decided to lick the branch up into his mouth as he wondered what it tasted like. The branch was awfully dry and close to crumbling. Was this a sign that the sun was letting go. Turtle soon heard a hiss as he dropped the twig from his mouth to look up to see a huge gray bird with big amber eyes, long claws on its paws and a mouth full of teeth. The bird hissed again.
"Hey what are you doing you small kit? Get back of I will bite." The bird hissed. Turtle reared up on his hind legs to make himself look bigger but even he himself was not tall enough to scare the bird away. Soon, Tiger's leap. And a couple of others named Dove's Flight and Robin's flight. Two sisters of the group came to the small kit's defense as they were big enough to scare the huge bird away.
"What do you want from us Patch?" Tiger's leap hissed as they huddled around the kit. Patch hissed as he showed off his small but dagger like teeth.
"The kit of yours wandered off. It's a good thing I didn't snatch it up and would have been an easy meal for me." Patch responded as he knew it was better to make peace than fight three cats at once.
"He didn't wander too far. Go off and try to practice hunting. Our kits are not your food." Tiger's leap snarled as they wanted to drive Patch away. Patch turned as he began walking off. It was clear that there were no easy meals here. The cats turned away as they began walking back to the safety of the herd. Patch was still curious about the stranger he had encountered as he wanted to know who that was.
"Who was that that I've encountered when I went to check on that branch." Turtle asked as he was wondering about who he encountered. Tiger's leap soon turned to him as Sparrow's cry was grateful that Turtle was unharmed. She placed him with the other kits as he continued to feed. Tiger's leap spoke.
"Patch is a young tom Stenonychosaurus. He's spent the Greenleaf feeding on Edmontosaurus kits. But now they are getting bigger than he is so he must look for other game." Tiger's Leap told him as they continued feeding on the ferns. It was clear the eating was going to pay off as the animals continued feeding.
Patch was cooing as he was far from the group. He soon knew he had to look for other game as he began to look for other prey. The cats were too watchful to be able to trick and hunt. Soon a scurrying noise got his attention as a white mammal like creature scurried from the underbrush. Patch soon began giving chase The mammal let off a shrill as Patch's clawed feet thumped after it as his huge eyes were looking around to see where the mammal scurried off to. The small patches of white caught his attention as he scurried after the animal. Soon the mammal darted into one of the burrows as it wanted to hide away. Patch's kind is some of the most intelligent animals but Patch is still learning on how. He was just too young to master the subtle art of hunting. What went into the hole must come out that much Patch knew about hunting small scurrying creatures. However what Patch didn't learn is that he should have covered all the exits. Unaware to him the there was a second hole some distance away from him. The mammal looked out as it scurried away shrilling. Patch looked out seeing the mammal scurry around as he decided to chase after it. Patch hissed as he was quickly closing in on the animal knowing that he was going to capture it himself. However someone else had beaten Patch to the mammal. The sickle claw came down snapping the mammal's neck like a mouse on a mouse trap. The mammal was killed within a split second as a second Stenonychosaurus lowered its head as it picked up the mammal and scarfed it down. This was a fully grown Stenonychosaurus as his head, arm and tail feathers were a bright yellow like the petals of a sunflower unlike Patch's feathers were still a downy gray. Patch hissed as that was his prey.
"Hey that was mine! What makes you think you can snatch that piece of prey up and not have the curtesy of sharing." Patch hissed at the older male. The older male didn't care as he gave him his words.
"Your words are nothing compared to me since you don't know how to even hunt properly. The older male hissed as he was looking at Patch who was ready to hurl threats to him.
"Scar face!" Patch hissed as the older male turned to hissed back at him.
"Poor hunter!" The male snarled. Patch turned as he ran off knowing that this was a battle he couldn't win. Patch knew he had to get his act together. The Greenleaf 24 hour light was dying. Something was going to change that all of the newcomers weren't prepared for.
Turtle was busy feeding on the ferns as Turtle was beginning to hear the voices in his head. The Greenleaf is a time for cats to fatten their bellies as they feed on the abundant plants that grew. There is a price to pay for feeding at the top of the world. Giants roam here. However this is a landscape of unpredictable changes. The light will set and the Greenleaf's forests. Soon Leaf-fall will come with challenges as the forest will wither and die. And the light will be replaced by 24 hours of the Leafbare's Darkness with fierce storms and frigid temperatures and four moons of darkness engulf the land as night hunters stalk and prey on the weak. There is only one way out. A one thousand mile march south to find food, light and safety. However your journey wouldn't be an easy one so be prepared to face dangerous predators, and dangerous obstacles. Be prepared for a do or die march to find the sun. Turtle's head lifted up as he wanted to figure out about the voices.
"What were those voices saying?" Turtle asked Sparrow's cry as he wanted to know what was going on.
"I got the voice too. It's a warning as this playground of yours is not the paradise that you know about. I learned this myself when I was a kit and so did my mother and her mother. We will be forced to head south as the light will die." Sparrow's cry responded as she knew this all from her experience before. Tiger's leap eyes were looking at the sun that was slipping away. The kits knew that this was a completely alienating experience as he didn't know what was going on. This was the most dangerous moment the kits would be facing for the first time in their lives.
Nightfall.
[A/N]: New story and new ideas I was dry on ideas as I was waiting for creating original characters and an original story. I want to make a kit that knows a prophecy story but the prophecy is just a normal occurrence if you live at the poles. You will have 24 hours of light in some months of the year and 24 hours of darkness in some months of the year which is broken with spring and autumn in between.
Also can a cat would make a 1000 mile trek south and back? Can they Let me know if they are possible.
I will try to make this realistic as possible as I want to make the cycle of light and migration be able to travel down south. See you in the night time chapter.
