Claimed
Harnor –
Harnor’s Blood red wings spread he glanced around the jungle and glared at the other cats.
“Well here we are,” he began ,” No one has died yet, I’m actually impressed, though I see we came close to a couple of deaths.” He glanced at the dripping wounds on some cats pelts.
“But anyway, now the fun begins, the first test is about to start.”
The giant red tom stuck his tail onto the ground and suddenly and massive tunnel opened up, a gaping hole in the middle of an otherwise perfect jungle.
“Each day the caves will open a little further and each day the cave will hold a key, a key that can only be found if you work together. The keys are links to each of your pasts, some will have a key linked to them and some will not. But remember each cave holds the key to a cats past, and there are something’s that they would not like to relive. “
———————————————-
The day only ends when I say, but don’t worry, I will take into account other time zones. I will give you a description of each days cave. Please learn your characters back story so that you will recognise when the cave is linked to you, only your cat can pick up the key to their memories.
Day 1 – The First Cave
The cats were drawn into the cave, without sense or purpose. It was dark, dark all around and stalagmites grew up in all different directions like buildings.
The cave wasn’t massive but all the cats had enough room to be as comfortable as they could be with how close they were to the other cats. At the back of the cave was a small glowing key, in the shape of a wren. Infront of it prowled a large cat with fangs that hung out of its mouth and dripped with poison.
One cat seems to hold back with fear as they realise this is a scene from their past……..
Do you need to respond if it’s not your key?
Yes, some of the problems will need the group to help solve them
Dune backed away slowly.
No no no no no he thought, I can’t do this why did I have to be the first ?
“Let me out,” he screeched , “ I don’t want to see this again.”
He was breathing heavily now and he could see Wren before his eyes, her wound dripping with purple poison, the other cats refusing to give her the herbs that could have saved her.
Now Harnor was making him relive this moment and fight, that creature that has killed his sister.
He glanced around for the exit but he could not see anything, the cats were completely locked in……
“I admit it,” he hissed, “ this is my past, now can we just kill that creature and get it over with I’m not spending any longer here than I have to. Also, don’t let it bite you, because if it does you are going to die. No questions asked.”
He paused for breath before continuing
“Anyone have any ideas for killing a creature that’s poison can kill you with one drop ?”
Luana narrowed her eyes and growled. “We definitely have to work together….” Luana tried to think clearly. “Oh! We need to have the fastest cats confuse it, while the others attack.” Luana offered. “So, and be honest, who’s fast?”
Black Bird shoved Eclipse forward, and she glared at him. “I’m Eclipse, and I’m pretty fast.” She admitted. “And Black Bird is strong.” She flicked her tail at him.
“Get on its back.” Sunny suggested. “That way it can’t get poison you or use its claws on you.”
Sunny stopped, wincing from her wounds. The blood had stopped, but the wounds would take time to heal. “We have to work together. Dune, I suggest you kill that creature. You’ll get your vengeance. Who’s the fastest runner here? If we want that key, we have to be fast.”
“Well, I might as well try,” mewed Dune,” but Sunny, if I’m going to risk my pelt, I want you to be part of the attack, is that a deal? I’m not risking my life because you suggested it if you don’t join in as well.”
He hissed at the she cat.
“Quickly, get together a group, we need to attack now before it notices we are here.”
Dune swallowed his fear, I’m doing this to revive Wren, he thought before rushing at the creature.
Claws out stretched, he aimed for its back, hoping that he would land there, safely away from the jaws of the giant cat.
He hoped that the other cats would attack soon, otherwise he would die…..
He lashed out his claws at the monster, hoping to leave deep gashes on its pelt
Playing as the cat monster –
A cat landed on its back and left a few, not very deep gashes in its pelt with its tiny feeble claws.
The monster snapped its jaws round at the cat, hoping that it could sink its teeth in and poison the cat
Eclipse zipped, followed by Black Bird, to the cat. She narrowly avoided a drop of poison, and he jumped to behind the cat as Eclipse ran from one side of the cave to another, attempting to confuse it.
Thunder ran through the crowd, he nearly froze in terror at the sight of the beast ” what kind of creature is this!”he muttered to himself. He knew that the only way they could survive,only way he could survive was to help so he jumped at the beast claws unseathed he raked his claws across its side and felt it’s thick,tuff hide.
Luana sprinted underneath the monster and slashed at it stomach. Whipping around, she dodged poison and slashed its forepaw.
I’m guessing that there’s going to be that ONE cat who tries to retrieve the key by themselves and gets killed in the process.
There might be but it is for you to decide if your character lives or dies
Sunny
This is a mistake. Ignore this.
While the other cats distracted the creature, Sunny ran for the key.
Feather lunged at the monster. She zipped next to it and slid under the beast. She raked her claws in the monster’s flesh. Feather twisted to avoid a drop of poison and got out from underneath. She tried to slash at the cat’s cheek,and then dodged back and in front of it. She started to run around it until she could make a clear leap at it.
Snow watched in the darkness, no cat had noticed her, for now, she knew she would be discovered if she interfered, but this was her way, she watched the massive creature her blue eyes darted from the cats to the poisonous creature wondering what they would do, she unsheathed her claws in case anything happened, which was highly probable. she wondered how the cats would attack it, her way was dangerous, and most cats wouldn’t trust her because of this but… If she made friends… Would she lose? She felt it, something was to happen, she didn’t know what was happening, her paws pulled her forward, and she kept past the monster darting for the key, her destiny might be at sake her what was she doing, but something pulled her to the key, she heard something, muffled but urging her forward as she dashed for the key.
(I am willing to die. Idk why. I’m willing to sacrifice myself though, but I want someone to at least recognize me. Is this ok? If I die and stuff? I’ll give her a good ending where she sees her family again etc. I feel sad but someone needed to go and I’m willing to do that. Also, I feel kinda weird but can my character live on as kinda a ghost spirit or something, silent but occasionally helping the cats in the tests?)
Luana’s eyes darted around until she saw a she-cat running for the key. She yowled in horror. “Wait! Stop! What are you doing?!” She tried to run for her, but the monster blocked her path. Screeching in anger, she hurled herself at the monster’s haunches, slashing wildly. “Someone stop h-!” Luana’s shout was cut off as she was knocked into a wall. Shaking her head, she ran and latched onto the monster’s tail.
Sunny climbed up the slope to reach the key. It was steep, and she was in danger of falling off. But she kept going.
Wisp was encircled by a tornado, everything spining.
What the heck is happening! she thought.
Harnar’s voice appeared in her thoughts. young warrior, I have answered your plea. You will be brought to the Trials, where you have the chance to escape your former life, and be great again.
Wisp shivered as she was whisked from her home what plea! she screamed in her head. i don’t want this, I don’t want this..
~~
Wisp landed with a thump on a cave ground, everything aching. She looked up, and saw multiple cats fighting a poisinus beast, and a she-cat… racing past her, right toward the monster!
Out of instinct, Wisp jumped up, and raced after the cat, just as the beast turned toward the cat. Just then, she saw what that cat was looking at, a key.
Wisp seized her chance, and leapt onto the snout of the animal, clawing frantically. The moster bat it’s paw at Wisp, but she clung on.
“Go!” she screamed at the she-cat, desperatly trying to buy her time.
Black Bird’s unusually long claws slashed at the creature’s pelt, constantly jumping and switching sides. He tired quickly, but watching Eclipse zip around like a fly made him determined. For her. He lost Ash, he was not going to lose Eclipse. (Explaination under Eclipse’s form)
Eclipse hissed and growled, avoiding poison and constantly swiping at it’s forepaws. Her long legs jumped in an sideways-8 position. It wasn’t too effective, but it was better than letting Black Bird fight it without anyone. Of course, there was dune and Luana and Thunder and the others, but she didn’t trust anyone except Black Bird.
Playing as creature again –
The creature fell to the ground, a small black cat had slashed open its stomach and forepaw, and there were scratches all over his hide. The last thing he knew was a grey and white cat (that’s my character so I can control what he’s doing) biting open his throat.
Three cats reached the key at the same time (Dune, Sunny, Snowdapple)
Snowdapple had a poisonous wound in the side of her flank, and when she reached out to touch the key, the poison disappeared and she was left with a nasty cut, but it probably wouldn’t kill her. Sunny and Snowdapple both tried to pull out the key but somehow they could not. Dune carefully reached towards the small Wren shaped key and it came away easily in his paws.
It appeared on a string round his neck.
Harnors Voice could be heard around the cats
“Congratulations on all surviving the first day, though if that wound doesn’t get any better, I think we might need another spare. The second cave is more simple, but to be honest it’s a bit of a game of luck. You have to learn to put aside your differences and wait out the thaw, this is not the cave that lets you stay away from the others.
Let the second cave begin….”
You are all drawn into the next cave we’re you find an icy terrain with giant spikes that could scratch a cats pelt. The key is hidden in one of these spikes and it is in the shape of a pure white crescent.One cat seems to think that this reminds them of something in there past…… All you have to do here is survive a night, and you might have to get a bit cozy.
Luana attempted to puff her fur out to get warm, but her small frame didn’t help. The cold had already pierced her coat, because she didn’t have winter coat. Swishing her tail, she sighed in annoyance. “First of all, Snowdapple needs something to prevent her wound from getting infected, but OF COURSE, there’s nothing here.” Thinking quickly. “Snowdapple, keep your flank against the ice to stop anything from getting in, it also might stop the bleeding. Second! We’re all going to freeze if we don’t keep warm. So, any suggestions?” Luana said, wanting to hear new ideas, since her only one was to huddle together. She had a feeling some cats would oppose this.
(Yay I didn’t die! Wasn’t ready to anyway… Thank you Maple!!! Ignore earlier comment… But I can be a spare if necessary.)
Snowdapple blinked she wasn’t dead! She looked at her flank, gave the scratch a lick, and looked around the ice cave, it looked sharp and slippery, she peered around and took a step forward, she slipped and jerked up, trying to keep her balance on the icy ground.
“T-That was tough.” She commented, “But this might be a little harder…” she took another step forward and swayed slightly but stood strong. “And uh… Sorry for darting into there… I… I’m Snowdapple, but you can call me Snow.” She looked around once more, “I wonder who this is for…”
(I looked at the character forms for this rp and I think that this cave is for Wisp because of her backstory with Crescent and her siblings. Is this correct?)
(I actually think that the first cave is Dune’s, and each cave is a different person’s memory.)
Yes this cave is Wisp’s
Snow nodded and gently leaned against a ice pillar, wincing at the bitter cold, she pulled back shivering but pressed her cut to it again and soon it stopped bleeding, she sighed in relieve and sat down on the frozen ground.
“W-What would keep us warm?” She blinked and and Idea began to form. “What if… We huddled up together to keep warm?” She looked around at the other cats. “I know not all of us will be open to being so close to others but it’s something… and… um… I always felt warm when someone g-groomed me…” She winced at the cut that was now stinging, she probably could press it back on the ice… but she continued.”If we huddled up together we would keep warm and maybe we could groom each other as well. I don’t know how we get the key but… Maybe since the last one was Dune’s maybe whoever has this cave has to get the key out?” She nodded towards Sunny. “And taking shifts would work as well…” Her cut had started bleeding again but she ignored it looking at the cats.
(I was confused for a second because thunder is also grey and white,lol) Thunders fur poofed too keep him warm,he padded near the middle wher most cats were.
Eclipse and Black Bird huddled together, neither of them used to the cold. Every once in awhile, Eclipse would shift her paws at times because the pads were freezing. She shivered.
“Are you sure this is all ice? And would we get frozen to death here? Gosh, my legs are sore…and all this ice is just frozen water…what happens when it melts? Will it melt? Hopefully not…” She whispered to herself, pressing herself into her brothers fur.
Sunny explored the cave, shivering. The spikes were terrifying, and she wondered whose past this was. Looking around, she saw a small patch of cobweb.
