Aster woke up surrounded by darkness so dense that he could barely see his own paws. How did he get here? Where even was here? He could have sworn he went to bed in the apprentice's den and this place was decidedly not the apprentice's den. Had he been thrown out in his sleep? Left to fend for himself again, completely alone? He was sick of being alone!! That was the whole reason he joined ThunderClan!! He can't make it by himself!

"Hello?!" He called out into what looked a little like a forest, but it was still too dark to tell for sure. Where were the stars and the moon? Surely the forest never got this dark before? "Anyone?! Please!! Is anyone there...?" His voice sounded so scared and Aster momentarily wanted to scold himself for it, but he was lost, he had no idea if anyone was around, surely this fear was warranted?

"Hello, Asterpaw," spoke a new voice now, and, frightened, Aster whirled around to see who it was and found himself face to face with a cat.

Ok !!! welcome to the long awaited plot finder for Aster's DF training !! I'm going to need one DF cat as well as one SC cat, so here are the roles:

Dark Forest Cat: Aster's DF mentor, someone who will teach him to fight ruthlessly and manipulate his beliefs into being a little more... corrupt in nature. A cat who will let him know that any battle where the opponent isn't killed is a battle lost and will instill other morally dubious thoughts into his head

StarClan Cat: This cat won't come in until much later, but they are the guiding light that brings Aster away from the place of darkness, however, this will not be an easy task. If the DF cat is successful in their corruption of Aster, he'll be resistant to the help of StarClan. This cat will need to really chip away at the damage that's been done.

Living ThC Cat: this cat will be the alive moral compass to compliment the dead one in the SC cat. Ideally someone around aster's age (he's ~8 moons) who will be a friend and the first person he confides in about his DF training. Ideally, though not required, they should be pushing against him returning to the DF and will likely get into fights with Aster about it as he can be very stubborn.

I'm probably going to be a little picky with who i choose but if you're interested, please apply !! For the living cat, you should be ready to rp with me before the plot starts so we can establish the friendship a bit more!!!
