He nodded his head to Brutus as she returned and reported the patrol went well…no concerns? Perfect. “Great. Thanks Brutus, you’re dismissed.” he flicked his tail.


@Spider

His muscles moved solidly under his pelt as he made his way up to the Fractured Spire. His eyes were narrowed and he had bruises around his body, a long scrape on his left side, and a small limp. Sucks for him. “ATARI! Gather ‘round.”



___________________________________________

THE COUGAR FIGHT WAS DONE OFF-SCREEN! APOLOGIES FOR ANY OF YOU THAT HAD PLANS FOR INJURIES/DEATHS. IF YOU DID, PLEASE VM ME STATING THE CHARACTER AND THE INJURY / DEATH! THE ATARI HAS ALSO BEEN CURED OF THEIR SICKNESS BY THE OUTSIDER ARIES. DUE TO TIME LIMITS, NONE OF THIS COULD BE DONE ON-SCREEN. I HOPE THAT FUTURE EVENTS CAN BE ON-SCREEN AND WE CAN FURTHER DEVELOP THE ATARI! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PATIENCE! ALSO, VM ME FOR ANY DESIRED CEREMONIES IF YOU REACH THE REQUIREMENTS
note: myself and the other Atari hr’s are hoping to grow the Atari and keep them active, hopefully we will get other threads such as specific dens like the clan have at some point!

May as well get the bad news done sooner rather then later…”The cougar, thank the spirits, is gone. Dead.” the Crown stated triumphantly. He was proud it was at his own claws. The thing was pinned down and limp due to the rocks crushing it, but he got to dig his claws though it’s throat…even if it wasn’t in fighting condition, he did it. He made up for Saturn…for Nyx even. “We…we faced two losses in the fight. Crow, a respectable Claw, n’ Feather, a Trapper.” he announced, his proud voice turning into one more sympathetic. “Every cat who knew them and is above the age of six moons, or wishes to pay respect, please rest up so you can join myself and Brutus at sunset to go bury them.” he looked for his Claw (of the Crown) among the crowd, before giving a small nod to her. “The full moon is in three nights. I will be heading to Glimmerall then to officially make Brutus the Claw of the Crown, and she will be accepted by the spirits.” Hopefully…he didn’t see why they wouldn’t accept her.

His gaze sought out his own cousins among the crowd, as they would be (according to tradition) accompanying them to Glimmerall. “Bluebird (@/sleepyyjax), Camilla (@/Morrigan). If you two do not mind, you will be coming along.” A keeper and their new Healer…not the most secure group. “I will permit two claws and a single initiate along. Do not yell out in hopes to join. See me after the meeting.” He decided it was important for one of their younger to see the tradition.

“Now, we are cured of our disease as well, thanks to the outsider. If anyone proceeds to have symptoms, let Blood or Camilla know.” There wasn’t anything else to say. No ceremonies…disappointing. With the cold there, they needed as many strong cats as possible. “Dismissed.” he flicked his tail and turned around, limping his way off the spire and down to the clearing.




[I WILL CREATE A THREAD FOR AN EVENT TO DO THE BURIAL LATER!]

His blue gaze turned to the tom who approached him as he spoke. His gaze followed to Brutus as Rook looked, then trailed back to the half-and-half Claw. He nodded his head in thanks, though a plain expression remained on his face…more like tough. “Thanks. I’ve already been accepted, now it’s Brutus’ turn.” the full moon was tonight. It was time, they would do this. Hm…he had no volunteers, now that he thought of it, “Rook. Could you accompany myself, Brutus, Camilla, and Bluebird to the Glimmerall for the ceremony? I’ll get you when we leave.” Sure, it was a question…but was he really asking? Probably not.

The short curly furred she-cat crouched at near the clearing after the meeting was over. 'A cougar?' she thought, disappointment pricking at her paws. Boreas couldn't believe she'd missed the battle of a lifetime with a cougar. If she was there she'd tear it to shreds. Everyone would be sooo happy that she'll be made a claw right there and then. It'd be history!

No point dwelling on missed opportunities, she'll just make sure she'll be there if it happens again. Confidently, with her tail raised, she strutted over towards the two cats. "I'm coming to the Glimmerfall with you. No other initiate spoke up so it'll be me."

"He said not to yell out, so I didn't." she complained before letting out a sigh. "I would like to go. Please." she added, casting a glance towards Rook.

Boreas flicked her ears in annoyance. Did he not hear her? She wanted to go as soon as possible. The white curly she-cat let out a small puff of air. "Fine." she said decisively, following the claw towards a black and white initiate. The long legged she-cat looked the other she-cat with a bored look. She flicked her orange eyes towards Rook again. "Let's be quick." she mumbled, tail lashing.

The she-cat opened her mouth to retort but closed it. He'll just say something smart then and she doesn't feel like hearing it. Boreas turned her head away. "You're not my dad." she muttered under her breath. Who was this claw telling her what to do, what to say and how to act. When she's a claw, he'll think better of it.

Ares nodded affirmatively as the Claw agreed, rather satisfied, he was ready to turn away. Then a smaller presence joined them. Huh, he liked the initiative on this kid. A small grin met his (usual serious, if not threatening) expression as he let out a small scoff. Before he could respond, Rook did. Ares wasn’t pissed about the tom not waiting for him, but he also wasn’t Brutus, and he should leave it up to Ares to chastise the kid if needed. “Yeah kid, feel free t’ come along if ya like. Ya got three nights- so two days till we take leave. I’ll get you then rest up.” he nodded to the younger. It seemed the two cats now were making hunting arrangements, and now that the cougar was gone, he didn’t mind if they went. Just one thing with them, back to the serious gaze it was (because however hot-headed Ares was, he was done seeing conflicts in his tribe)—“Rook. Do not threaten my initiates, serious or not. Both of you, be good. Collie. Come talk to me after the hunt.” he ordered.

He turned away, just barely spotting Blood as he crept back into the cave. Mmm…he’d be pleasantly surprised in a moment. Ares padded after his healer, “Blood!” he called out, before slipping into the cave himself.
