  • Loki watched from the shadows. No one, not even his own mother Fringe, had noticed that he was there. And that was the way he liked it.
    “You shouldn’t isolate yourself.” Trixy’s voice drifted through his head. He growled softly.
    “Shut up,” he muttered, too quiet for anyone else to hear.
    “She’s right, and you know it.” Dangle’s voice joined Trixy’s. Loki ignored them.
    “Please, Loki. It doesn’t have to be this way,” Trixy pleaded. Dangle growled with agreement.
    Loki slid further into the shadows, closing his eyes and transporting his mind to the SilverWood, the in-between for living and spirit cats to talk. While his body remained, silently observing the ice-powered cats work, his mind flew to the star-strewn woods. Trixy and Dangle stood before him, wearing identical expressions of hope and fear.
    “What do you want,” Loki snarled. “Why don’t you just leave me alone?”
    “We cannot,” Dangle stated confidently. “Not until you’re back on the right path.”
    “I never asked for spirit-guides,” Loki quipped. “Leave me be.”
    “We have our orders,” Trixy insisted.
    “Orders from who?” Curiosity temporarily outweighed Loki’s frustration.
    “We can’t tell you that,” Dangle interrupted before Trixy could respond.
    “Why not?” Loki asked.
    “We can’t tell you that either.”
    Loki growled again. “Well, I don’t want your help. Nor do I need it. Stay out of my life, or I’ll send you back to your spirit-realm myself!” With that, he pulled his mind back into his body, pushing the protesting voices of his dead littermates to the back of his mind. Ignoring them. And, as he told himself, he would never listen to them again.

    Fringe watched the ice-powered cats create the bridge. “You’re doing good.” She wasn’t surprised at the sound of Perch’s voice. She could almost feel her mate sitting next to her. “Better than we could’ve hoped, with odds like this.”
    “We?” Was Fringe’s only response.
    “Our kits and I, of course.”
    “Of course.”
    They sat in silence for a few moments.
    “Loki is here,” Perch said. Fringe flinched.
    “I know,” she murmured. “He’s part of the Tests.”
    “Trixy and Dangle have been trying to reason with him but… he ignores them. If you would talk to him–”
    “He hates me more than he hates them,” Fringe interrupted. “I’m sorry Perch, but there’s no happy ending for that kit.”
    “Oh, Fringe.” Perch sighed. She could sense him fading back into the SilverWood. “No one is beyond redemption.”

  • Dune –

    Dune growled, Why was it Wren, why did he have to be reminded of his sister !
    He caught sight of Luana and ran over to her
    “Well done on the first room !” He muttered, “ I just can’t help but think about Wren “

  • Natrix looked around. “Do you know anyone who has air and telekinesis powers?” she asked a random cat.

  • Flame helped Frost across the bridge, seeing the word Wren, Flame was very confused but he saw his sister wincing remembering something painful, “I know what we need” she said to Flame, “we need someone with fire powers, do you have them?” Frost asked “no, man our names are so contradicting, but hopefully some other cats do have fire and they can help us” Frost said, sitting down because her side was hurting a little from the massive cuts on her side.

    • Ami –
      Ami saw a cat whose side was bleeding quite heavily.
      She ran over and sniffed the wound, to check for infection. “The wound seems clean for now, but you might want to lean on your other side so it doesn’t touch the ground and risk harmful bacteria moving into the wound

      • “thanks, thats what I’ve been doing during the last wait so it should be ok for now” Frost was saying to this strange cat who seemed to know what they were saying

    • Pebble saw Frost and immediatly regretted leaving her lone for this test. Sure, she had her brother, but Pebble had three of them and none of them were good at helping. She scampered towards them, worry in her eyes.
      “Frost, are you okay? I’m sorry I left you I really am but I am here now. Do you need anything?”

      • “Pebble!” Frost said happily finding her friend “thats ok, you are here now and thats what matters, I just need a little rest and I should be fine” Frost reassured her, she smiled.

  • Ollie turned around and noticed a she-cat standing awkwardly to the side (Quintessa). He paused in his freezing, not being able to resist the urge of meeting someone new. He bounced up to her, a big grin plastered on his face. “Hi! I’m Ollie! What’s your name? What’s your power? I think I may have seen you around before, but I don’t know.”

    Tess noticed Ollie talking to some she-cat, and hissed to herself. I’ll never be able to talk to him about helping me if he’s preoccupied. Still, she did nothing. She knew she just had to wait it out.

    • Palm becuase he’s inactive –

      Palm saw a she cat hissing at….. no one.
      He padded over slowly, a bit nervous to talk to someone who acted like that
      “Hi I’m Palm ! I’ve got electric powers !” He jumped up and down, sparks dancing at his paws

      Iciclefur –
      He watched from a Far, his tail swishing.
      He was feeling queasy, and knew he wouldn’t last through this test, but he couldn’t go near Ami. She was too smart, she’d see the signs.
      So he sat and waited, waited for his turn to help the cats

      • Tess rolled her eyes. “I don’t care.” She growled. “Let me guess… You came to these Tests to follow your dreams, or, find love, or whatever?” She paused, but not long enough for him to answer. “Or maybe you’re smart, and you’re here to win. If so, you wouldn’t be trying to make friends with the likes of me. So what’s it gonna be?”

        (wow Tess is savage 😛 )

        • Okoye-
          The spear was quicker. Immediately, it turned into spear form and aimed for the she-cat’s tail, hoping to stab it into the ground.

          (I really should make a character form for that spear.)

    • Quintessa followed the tom’s movements as he ran up to her. Well that was easy. Right before he came up, she glanced at the she cat, hissing at Palm. She sighed. Wasting her energy on being aggressive never brought anyone anywhere. Well, except villains. She shook her head, then turned back to the tom, who had introduced himself as Ollie. “My name’s Quintessa,” she mewed. “My power is air and telekinesis, watch.” She looked around for something to lift. Her gaze met a small rock, and she focused on it, lifting it a little above Ollie’s head. She put the rock down, then lifted herself up, though not as high as Ollie’s head, since she was much heavier then the rock. She put herself down, slightly panting. She caught Ollie’s gaze, then asked, “Why are you here?”

      (I’ve posted a level up on the Bramblestar page, Maple)

      • He tilted his head, as though in thought. “I’m here to keep cats like her–” he angled his ears to Tess, “from killing anyone.” He joked. “Really though, I think I’m just here to keep everyone’s conscience clear. Know what I mean?”

        • Quintessa sighed. I don’t think he got it. Or maybe I didn’t get it. Hmmm. “I’m here because when I become a goddess, I want to go home,” she said wistfully. Then her gaze saddened. “But if I went home, I’d be alone again.” Her ears flattened slightly as she thought of her new friends. They’ll all go their own separate ways, leaving me to go my own way too. Where will they go? Will I ever see them again? Probably not. It’ll be just like before-me and the mountains, the mountains and me. Just like I wanted. Or what I used to want. But what do I want now? As she zoned off, without realizing it she glowed softly and floated a few inches off the ground.

          (Wow she had a whole realization did not see that coming)
          (OR DID I)

  • Wren. The deceased or the kit?

    If it was the deceased, then the room was hinting at fire powers. And with the wood, it seemed to surely be fire…

    Storm growled in frustration. Hopefully her or Marina’s turn was next.

    • Echo bounded over to Storm and Marina. Usually, she wasn’t one for energetically running to a bunch of cats to ask them questions, but it was different now. She was desperate. “Which powers do you have?” She queried.

  • Potato who is making her name long because that’s what people are doing because of the glitch says:

    Luana’s eyes widened and she held back a choke. Calm down…

    • Dune –

      “It’s ok, it’s just a word, it’s just a word.” Dune whispered to Luana, yet he still tried to choke back his own tears

      • Potato who is making her name long because that’s what people are doing because of the glitch says:

        Luana smiled weakly at the tom and sighed loudly.
        “Can we please hurry this up? Though a fire in this small a room…”

  • Tawny –
    Tawny watched the rest of the cats finish the bridge. She smiled. The first room was finished. Hopefully soon her powers would be needed. She saw Thunder and got up to try to talk to him.
    (Thunder, can you check out my comment on the Bramblestar page? I asked if something could happen during this test. Is it okay if you check it out? Thx)

    (Also, Sky, I really like Marina’s personality! ((I like everyone’s personality 😛 😉 )) is it okay if Clover becomes friends with her? Or Tawny? I don’t mind if you say no, because her path for the future seems complicated with her sister – Maybe turns out a bit like Ivypool as an apprentice? – so, it’s okay. But she’s cool 🙂 )

  • Robin walked over to dune who she had never talked to yet she felt like she already had.
    ” Are you ok I’m Robin by the way ”
    Luanas presence didn’t occur to Robin until she turned around. ” hi Luana easy tests right… ”
    ( really long silence follows )

  • T’Challa-
    T’Challa was still looking for his sister, and he couldn’t find her anywhere. “Excuse me?” he asked the nearest cat, a white tom with black stripes(Blizzard). “Have you seen a dark brown she-cat? Bright green eyes? 4 moons old?”

  • ( so I just realized that everyone here is level 2-3, if I make a really long fanfic can I level more than once? Or do I have to write multiple stories?)
