(Relic's POV)

He opened my eyes, to find a charred forest, the smell of death and decay was the only thing that touched his nose. Relic could feel the pain of stretched muscles as he tried to stand only to meet the ground face first, it took a number a times before he was able to get to his legs stiffly.

Relic stood trying to catch breath but the smoke that floated just above the grounds made it's way into his lungs, his body wasn't used to this kind of torment, causing a painful series of extremely painful coughs. Relic found himself limping across the clearing he awoke in, through the paw staining ashes, until he felt his paw graze something soft.

He turned expecting some type of woodland creature that usually roamed here. Only to find, to his horror the body of a cat, she had a small kit in her jaws but he knew they were too far gone. He felt tears swell as he realized that both died from fire not smoke, he could feel the pain of his own body increasing to the point where it felt like his own pelt was on fire, cringing his first instinct was to hit the ground, but when he did there was nothing to put out.

"Pull yourself together." He heard his voice echo through the dark unnatural silence of the dead forest. Relic continued until he walked upon the most horrific sight of his life.

Nearly a hundred cats lied motionless, as he walked in Relic noticed that these cats were all different in strange ways, some were bulky while others had sleek pelts, to his horror he could see some even had wings like Discord and Cosmic. Blood was splattered everywhere, the metallic smell burned his nose, the injuries he surveyed were caused by a battle of some type which is where all the blood came from of course.

Click.

He turned towards the noise, but found nothing, though a strange feeling enveloped him.

Click. Click.

Relic felt his hackles raise, as the noise grew closer. His primal instinct was to flee, but he didn't know why.

Click.

Silence.

"Rooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!" A metallic shriek shattered the silence as the rows of tree in front of him disappeared. Showing a human Beast in all its glory, the sickening sound of bones shattering fluxed through the air as the Beast rain over the cat corpses that littered the clearing. Blood splashed up the wheels as it made it's terrifying march across the clearing, Relic couldn't move, everything felt so real.

He felt every bone that snapped in that clearing to his pained horror, breaking his spell as he ran back the way he came. Sprinting he could feel the monster speeding up until it was a mere tail length away, continuing it's path of destruction, he almost felt he could get away until he felt his legs go out.

Within heartbeats the beast was on him, he screamed in agony as every bone shattered, until he felt a pair of paws shove him, then Relic was spiraling into darkness.

.:.:.:.:.:RoR.:.:.:.:.:

He sat up to find himself face to face with an angry Cosmic "What on earth are you screaming about?" His snarl was accented with tired eyes and a deep yawn.

"No-nothing." Relic murmured rubbing the sleep from his only to find tears in his eyes "Sorry, I just had a terrifying dream."

The ginger tom's eyes softened a fraction "Okay." he muttered under his breath "Try to go back to sleep, we can talk about it in the morning with the she-cats."

He already knew it wasn't possible to sleep again after that but he nodded anyway and watched as Cosmic walked a couple of pawsteps before dropping off his paws and falling asleep instantly. The moment he was asleep Relic got to his paws and looked around seeing Opal and Discord were sleeping sprawled against each other, he found a chuckle on his lips as Opal sneezed making her best friend flinch.

Dragging his paws he found himself outside, as he stared up at the sky, his unsheathed claws shifted the dirt until he felt a sharp ping of pain in his left paw. Lifting it but found no blood, opening and closing it slowly wondering why his paw had hurt only a heartbeat before it diminished, placing his paw back down he felt something squishy under his paw. When he looked Relic was surprised to see a earthworm that he had accidentally cut in half with his claws, feeling bad he covered the little guy with dirt, and said a little prayer to wherever creepy crawlies went.

Relic sensed a dark presence behind him, when he craned his head he saw no one, his whole body stiffened and he suddenly felt that he didn't like the outside atmosphere, so he slinked back into the safety of the den. Inside he found the three winged cats sleeping heavily, so he curled up next to the she-cats, and felt himself drift into a barren dream.

.:.:.:.:.:RoR.:.:.:.:.:

When he opened his eyes for the third time Relic could feel the cold drifting in from outside, huffing he stepped lightly across the den past a still sleeping Opal. The weather was always his least favorite thing about being outside, he hated the seasons with a passion Winter is too cold and Summer is too hot, and now he couldn't escape it. He turned slightly in time to see Cosmic strut into the clearing proudly, holding a dead mouse by its tail, followed then by Discord who carried a squirrel.

"We have arrived with the food!" Cosmic exclaimed showing off his mouse proudly.

Relic rolled his eyes in distaste, he knew he'd have to eat eventually but now that Discord sat it in front of him the smell of the dead furry creature made him want to hurl and now he had a pain in the back of his neck.

She must have sensed this because she rolled her eyes "The squirrel won't kill you I eat them all the time."

He cringed at the annoyance in her voice "I know it's just I thought you wanted the first bite."

She blinked before nodding then took a big bite out of the animal "There!" Discord pushed it closer to him, so realizing the inevitable he leaned down and took his share, It wasn't as bad as he thought it would be. It was actually quite delicious, except for the fur, but that was water of the bridge.

Relic swallowed "It's great." he said to her, she let out a sigh "I can't believe you've never eaten a forest dweller, I mean seriously what do you do all day at your twolegs house?"

"We sleep."

"All day?"

"Yep."

She had the weirdest shocked expression on her face, Cosmic noticed and slinked over "What is it?" He yawned sitting next to them.

"Relic said that all kittypets due all day is sleep." Discord stated pointing her tail in his direction.

"Couldn't do that." The other tom muttered.

They sat in silence for a moment, before his head began to throb, he tried to shake the unpleasant feeling out of his head but it wouldn't go away. He lied against a nearby tree and covered his head with his paws, it took time for the pain to become a dull ache, looking up he finds Discord sitting there watching him, Cosmic must have went to wake Opal for they were alone in the clearing.

"What are you doing?" She asked walking over and sitting next him. His ears twitched at the question before he rolled over towards her "I have this headache, and I'm not used to them." he mumbled.

"Oh! I know how you feel, I have them all the time due to the fact I have only male siblings." He chuckled at her before sitting up, her eyes watched him closely "You're taking being outside better than most kittypets would." She started poking him in the chest.

Relic felt a grin coming on "Yep you've caught me, I'm really an undercover warrior cat, even though you had to talk me into eating a squirrel." She grinned back before rolling her eyes "I hope you that not all warrior cats like squirrel, Riverclan only eats fish." Her voice changed when she said the clan name, not enough of a difference to ask her about though "Really, that weird, fish are slimy." He added but she only nodded.

He knew it would be best to talk about his dream now before Cosmic reappeared in the calm was broken "I had a dream last night, and now I think we should leave this place, since we've been here for halfmoon."

She turned to look at him "What was the dream about that makes you so nervous?" He told her about the monster, the cats, and his death at the end. "What in Starclan." She growled darkly shaking her head "What on earth is that suppose to mean." Looking over at him, her eyes flickered with a weird light "What you dreamt was a tree-eater by the way, we'll have to talk to Opal and Cosmic but where do you think we should go?" He hadn't thought that far ahead but he had a really bad feeling about the Tree eating monster and the humans. They were sitting there thinking when Cosmic and Opal finally decided to show up. He turned to the Tom "Wow I was beginning to think that you decided to stay in there and repopulate the forest together." He snorted earning a wing to the back of the head by him, thankfully the she-cats weren't paying attention to the comment.

They then joined the Toms who were then quietly discussing who would in a fight against a bear, Opal turned to look at him fiercely "I think we should head back home." She stated crossing her tail around her paws, Cosmic looked between the two of them "Why would we go home I thought we were looking for dad?" He asked the dark she-cat "I know but we've already gone this far and it's too dangerous to go back to the Clans alone." She answered turning then to Discord "What do you think, Sis."

She answered but he was too busy watching Cosmic's face, when Opal called Discord her sister, it was comical because he's obviously too close to her for the sister thing to work out "Relic!" He was startled out of his thoughts by Discord's voice, when he turned he noticed they were staring at him "Didn't you hear what I said?" He thought about it and couldn't remember her lips even moving, grinning innocently he muttered "Yes, but just in case could you say it again?"

Huffing she repeated herself "Said I think we should find out you thoughts on the matter, but I guess you were too busy staring at Cosmic to know that." She muttered the last part darkly before turning back to herself. He breathed heavily for a moment before starting "I think we should go to my hu- I mean my twoleg's nest to see if we can find anything from the neighborhood cats, about construction of some kind near this forest." That earned him shocked scoffs from Opal and Cosmic, Discord had a strange look on her face, though he was beginning to pick up on her facial expressions and thought it might be wonder.

"Why in Starclan would we go to the very place we've been told to stay away from our entire live?" Cosmic snarled getting to his paws and getting a kit-step away from his nose "We're not your kind, we're not kittypets. and we are not going to your stupid owner's nest." He then proceeded the bolt angrily out of the clearing Opal followed shaking her head at him.

Relic felt anger tingle down his pelt only to be quenched when he felt a paw on his shoulder, she sat beside him as he hung his head and glared at the ground "I thought it was a good idea." he huffed angrily then looked at her "Because if the dream was more than a dream, and one of those monsters are coming it would be rolling straight towards your home right?" She nodded but the distant look in her eyes made him feel bad for trying to keep them away from their families "You're right." she sighed suddenly "He just doesn't understand that, so I doubt he'll come and if he doesn't go there is a chance Opal won't either." Discord looked over at him and squinted like she was looking at the sun "But I don't think that's the only reason for this plan is it?"

'Why does she have to be so freaking smart, couldn't she been stupid like my sister?' He thought before sighing heavily "Yes there is another reason, I don't think my mother is dead and I want to see for myself if she is or not." She looked at him and nodded slightly "Why do you think that?" Discord said shuffling her paws. "I'm having a hard time mourning her and maybe it's because there's nothing to mourn. I didn't see the she-cat that died but I'm having trouble believing my mother would allow them to rip out her throat like you saw." He explained as he watched her open and close her wings slowly.

"What did she look like?" Discord asked suddenly her gaze kept shifting between him and her paws."Who?" Relic asked trying to meet her gaze "Your mother of course."

"Oh." He thought back, easily remembering his mother's smiling face in a sea of frowns "She has short, lanky legs, with a bright white pelt, she also has my white muzzle and paws. Her eyes are a light shade of violet." She blinked then grinned the biggest smile he'd ever seen "Then it definitely wasn't your mother, the she-cat they killed was grey and marking-less." He was happy about this conclusion but he remembered something that made his mimic smile disappear "I don't she was even in the clearing with me when I was grabbed, she left to look for some water because she was really parched. Maybe they made a stupid mistake and grabbed that poor she-cat thinking she was my mother, so what if she thought I was taken and charged in." He could feel her eyes on his pelt,making him turn to her again "I don't think so, warrior she-cats wouldn't do that so I doubt your mother would just race in." She said her smile still intact.

They sat in an easy peace, both thinking of other things, but he felt his eyes drawn to her, quietly tracing her form with his mind. Relic felt it instantly, a beat coming through the ground under his paws, it shook his body and made it uncomfortable to sit, but when he looked at Discord, she didn't seem to feel he wanted to say something badly he didn't want her to think he was crazy, instead he tried to focus instead on their surroundings noticing the frosty air and the now falling leaves, eventually the beat went away and he let out a sigh of relief.

Discord was the one to break the silence, she stood and looked around the clearing, shocked "Where are Opal and Cosmic?" She growled, It was only then that he noticed the purplish-pink shade of the sky signalling that it was Sundown, they'd felt at Sunhigh, but both of them had been too busy with their own thoughts and not wanting to disturb the peace to notice. He watched as she marched angrily out of the clearing in the direction they went, only for her to come back heartbeats later practically foaming at the mouth and out of breath "They're gone!" She snarled angrily before falling to the ground right next to him.

"What?" He muttered under his breath "Why would they leave us alone like this?" He added lying down next to her.

"I don't know!" She growled fiercely before rolling over to face him and sitting up "Fine! If they want to play that game we'll play and freaking dominate." Relic really did not like Discord when she was angry, her eyes blazed with the most unnatural kind of light that would make kits have nightmares and make elders cringe.

"What do you mean by that?" He asked and immediately regretted it, as the unnatural beat came back as she got nearly chest to chest with him.

"Isn't it obvious, we're going to your twoleg's nest to find out if construction is gonna happen anytime soon. While also checking on your family and giving me a chance to experience a day in the life of a kittypet." She said happily before turning and made her way towards the den, only to stop short when she noticed he was still lying in the same place "Come on, furball we leave at Sunrise."

He found himself walking along with her as they made their way into the badger den. Relic curled up in his normal spot, with Discord pressed against his side, not that he minded, just wasn't used to that much contact in one day. The beat was still there but now it was more soothing than erratic as it was previously causing him to fall into a deep dreamless sleep, leaving Discord to lay and listen to his breathing until she too dropped from consciousness.
