(Cosmic's POV)
Anger wasn't a good word for what Cosmic was feeling right now. Murderous. Murderous was a perfect description, because he had the greatest urge to rip out Relics throat and throw him into the closest body of water.
It all started at freaking sunrise when Discord decided to tell Relic about their home. He doesn't disagree that often with his sister, but something about telling the kittypet that kind of information sat wrong with him. But he didn't really have a way around telling him either, because how do you explain three cats with wings?
Now he's sitting by a stream watching his little sister clean dry blood from Relic's pelt, Opal was helping by occasionally shoving his head underwater. It wasn't that he was jealous or anything, he just wasn't comfortable with all the contact going on, but all he could do was glare and pout. Relic looked over with a somewhat smug grin on his face, as Discord rubbed behind his ears, so Cosmic did what any self respecting tom would do. He opened and closed his wings multiple times like a bird trying to take flight, while sticking his tongue out. Yes it was rather kittish of him, but he was kinda out of ideas, but it had a desired effect Relic looked over and rolled his eyes before being forced underwater by Opal.
(Relic's POV)
He came up gasping for air, the she-cats had successfully removed all blood from his coat, so he pushed himself to shore not liking the feel of mud on his paws. Discord came next followed closely by Opal, they were all drapped out in the sun when Cosmic reappeared purposely stepping on his bushy tail "What's his problem?" Relic tried to make amends with the ginger tom but he wouldn't accept it, Not that he seriously cared, he already had enough to think about. Like the fact that he wasn't really affected by his mother's death, yes he felt pain and mourned her, but he was going to lose her anyway eventually. Due to the rules in his home, his humans would only keep one kitten from his mother's litter, and he already knew it wasn't going to be him.
Something else bothered him too "Where on earth did all these flying cats come from?" Relic wasn't stupid not even close actually, so the idea of flying cats seemed outrageous and impossible, and since he'd seen them for himself in the right state of mind he couldn't dispute it any further he just wondered "How?
(Cosmos' POV)
Fear sparked in his gold eyes, he felt like an idiot, his sibling disappeared and now their mom was moments from returning. She'd been traveling with Rain and Major in search for a rare herb, every cat in the Blood was in search for them but so far it has been to no avail, Opal was missing too adding fuel to the growing fire. Silver and Ash both sat nervously near the entrance it was obvious they knew what was coming. Cosmos' ears twitched with discomfort, he understood why Ash was there she was his and siblings grandmother, but why was Silver there? Something always felt hidden from him, being the first born he knew a lot more than his siblings like their father's name and the story of how his parents met, but something always seems out of place around here.
A tingle shot up his spine, when he turned his head he nearly leapt out of his fur, sitting just inches away was his little brother, the youngest of the litter, Ruin. His blind eyes seemed to bore into Cosmos' skull causing him to flinch "What?" He muttered his voice cracking.
Ruin shifted on his paws "I've been sitting here the entire time." he said slightly annoyed.
"Really?"
"Yes, and Mother is outside the clan entrance."
"Don't do that."
"What?" He looked rather confused by the statement
"The whole blind-hearing thing, it makes me uncomfortable." Cosmos was trying to be honest it kinda scared him to an extent, especially since Ruin has always been a strange cat even for this stories standards.
Ruin opened his mouth, but was interrupted by a terrifying screech "THEY ARE WHAT?!" He knew the voice of Momma instantly, but decided to wait until Hydra and Ruin were with her before slinking out of the nursery. Major and mom were extremely mad, both fumed with a passion as they groomed the present kits, both Ash and Silver tried comforting them but it wasn't working.
"Don't worry darling everything is going to be fine, we have plenty of cats out looking." Silver stated wrapping his wings around both of them.
"Why in Starclan would they disappear like this?" Major asked looking around at the cats gathered around them.
"Probably because they're the Main Protagonists."
"Not now honey." Mom said pulling Ruin closer to her.
Cosmic blinked not really understanding his brother's statement, so instead he turned to Ash "Do you think they went to look for dad?"
Ash sighed "Most likely they do have his freaking need for adventure."
"Has anyone ever wondered why we have such weird name?" Ruin added getting ignored completely by everyone.
"We should send more cats after them." Silver muttered before leaving the party to direct a patrol.
"Yes, they'll be found faster that way." Ash said watching the silver tom leave.
"Or how there is a huge group of winged cats in the middle of a forest and no one has noticed?" Ruin muttered before getting hit in the back of the head by Hydra's wing, which he didn't see coming.
Hydra walked over and cuddled deep into Mom's fur, Cosmos and Ruin followed suit "Do you think they're okay?" Hydra muttered yawning heavily.
His eyes grew heavy, mother's heartbeat rocked in her chest, she answered but Cosmos wasn't awake for it "I sure hope so." Was that days last thought.
(Discord's POV)
Discord was already tired from the day's activities and was nearly asleep when she felt a paw touch her wing, she craned her neck only to see Relic standing there, looking quite determined.
"Um.." He began looking around before locking his gaze, when she followed it her eyes fell on a snoring Cosmic.
"Don't worry, his bark is worse than his bite." She said watching as her brother snorted and rolled over.
"Okay, then do you think you could answer some questions for me?"
"Sure, about what?"
"Everything."
"Could you be a little more specific?"
"Where'd you come from?" He asked with so much wonder, that she couldn't help but mess with him.
"Okay." She sat up lifting her fore paws "When a Tom and a She-cat love each other very much they decide to -" She was cut off when Relic put his paw over her mouth.
"I know where kits come from, you knew what I meant." He said removing his paw, but she could detect a slight giggle in his voice.
"Fine I'll tell you the origins of winged cats and eventually me." She sighed lying down facing him, he followed her lead, sensing it was going to be a while. "Let us start from the beginning"
