Angel stretched out her wings, opening her jaws to yawn. She got to her paw, ready to start the day.
"Good morning," she heard someone say behind her. Turning around, she spotted Fawn stretching. Fawn was looking at her, with a bright smile on her face.
"Good morning," Angel looked away, to see the other Winged Cats stretching behind her.
"Aren't you excited?" Fawn tipped her head to the side.
"For what?" Angel asked feeling partly confused.
Is something happening today that I should know of? Is it worth knowing?
Fawn rolled her eyes. "Angel." She said exasperated. "You should have listened to Dove this morning. Remember, today Aster is getting his wings!"
Angel sighed, this wasn't what she was expecting. She already knew that, and the only reason she wasn't excited was due to the fact that now Aster would be moving into the Winged Cats den, which was already packed.
"I knew that," Angel pointed out. "The only reason I didn't bring it up, was because it wasn't important.
This made Dawn roll her eyes again. "Even the Winged Lions care more about things than you do"
"Thats just insulting the Winged Lions" Angel said harshly.
"I'm leaving" Dawn announced, as she padded out of the den.
Good. Angel thought bitterly. And I probably have to get going, they'll be calling everyone for Aster's Wing Ceremony.
Angel glanced down at herself.
I'm a mess. I better groom myself before Dove sees me in this state.
Angel proceeded to lick herself.
Angel padded out of the den, followed by Leaf. As she arrived at Aster's Wing Ceremony, she noticed that a Winged Dog and a Winged Cat had gone to the corner of the Great Statue, and were talking in hushed voices. Angel walked a bit closer to them, and was able to pick up a few words of what they were saying.
"... will change everything" The Winged Cat was saying. Angel examined the cat, wondering if she could recognize them. She felt as though she knew the cat, but couldn't remember their name.
"We'll just have to hope that your wrong," the Winged Dog said.
The cat scowled at that. "I'm not wrong. We just have to prevent it from happening"
Just then the dog turned around, and Angel quickly scurried into the crowd of animals behind her.
What was that about? Angel wondered. Who are they talking about?
She directed her thoughts towards the Wing Ceremony, as Aster stared to walk down the line of animals.
Could it be… Aster?
