[The Kitty.]

 

As you approach, you are unnerved by their smoldering gazes.

You know you're being judged for all your worth, but you're determined to make your case. It's not every day cats try to reincarnate, and you're tired of being trapped here. Perhaps your first life didn't go as planned.. but the next one is going to be better.

All you have to do is answer them.

"What makes you stand out from the rest of the cats who want another chance?"

Within the cave, two tired amber orbs blinked amongst the darkness. Tail swishing idly, out padded an old, shaggy-looking she-cat. She had cleansed herself for this occasion, so that her coat was in the same sparkly glistening state it had been when she roamed the waking life.

She padded forward and took a seat calmly, steadying herself as she swept a rose-hued tongue over her lips.

"My name is Leopardbite," she began firmly — her tone dull yet non-threatening. She had been working on improving how she came off to cats whilst in the Dark Forest, and she came ready to show that to the cats of the Covenant.

"As many other cats here do, I seek to be reincarnated. However, I would like to give a strong point as to why I believe I deserve it."

"Firstly: I have committed many atrocities in my life as a waking cat, and although I am not proud of them, I know there is no going back and I've only served my consequences. I hold no bitterness for anyone who I may have dealt with or otherwise done wrong in my life, and I only hope that they can heal and find endless peace."

She sucked in a sharp breath, flexing her digits. "I believe my case to be different because I was on the road to getting better: not only for myself, but for the cats around me.... And yet, I myself barely knew this. But I tried to improve myself by taking in an abandoned kit and a young WindClan weanling. I loved them dearly, and though I know they have probably passed on over the moons, I would like to have a shot at a better life, if you'd allow it." Her time in the dark forest, she believed, had replenished her and allowed her time to think over her actions, why they were wrong, and how she could be the loyal Clan cat she'd always wanted to be in the next life.
