Thrushkit placed his toad at Ashkit's feet, prancing around the two kits excitedly. He'd be apart of something! Wow, apart of something. But what was that something? He figured it would be alright if he didn't know. He'd finally got what he really wanted. Friends, and friend were more important than knowing where you were going. Right? He figured some part of that was morally screwed but whatever! He would be just fine.

"Okay, lets go!"

He tried with as much enthusiasm as he could muster. He'd done better things, but this wasn't awful.

"Oh! Okay then," Palekit nodded eagerly, if Ashkit said it was alright. Maybe...it was? He dropped the salamander by Ashkit's paws and stepped back, awaiting to see what the older kit may do with the prey they've taken. There's a small pit in Palekit's stomach telling him that he's doing something wrong, but he should at least try to trust the other kits and believe it will be alright.

”Alright, both of you have your prey.. yup! Now let ME do the honours, thank you!”
Ashkit collected the prey and dropped the pieces in the hollow.
“Uuhhh.. okay.. now to.. say the magic words!” They haphazardly exclaimed.
“Stareater, take this.. gift.. as you.. roam? Now.. leave the stars and don’t wreck our home!!!!” Ashkit backed away from the hollow as they finished speaking, with a slightly nervous grin on their face.

Thrushkit's throat felt dry. This was even worse than waiting for the leaves to fall! His short fur stood on end as he stole a glance at Ashkit. Was this going to work? He trusted Ashkit's craftsmanship, or overall knowledge, a lot more than he trusted his own.

"Did it work?"

He asked in a hushed tone, voice barely breaking a whisper. It's not that he was scared, because he wasn't! he really was but he'd never admit it, He just wanted to make sure he'd done good! Of course, he couldn't always do that. But that was okay. Thrushkit just wanted to do the best he could, with his own judgement. That was surely really mature of him, right? Oh well!

He watched Ashkit spew some words and turn back with a nervous grin. Puzzled by the whole occurrence, some thought started running around his mind again. He couldn't help it. There was just some questions he needed to ask. ''What was that supposed to mean? Did it work? Is something supposed to appear?'

"Is something happening yet?" Palekit asked curiously with bright sparkling eyes, curiously going beyond him. His ears were a little itchy from waiting, so he used this time to scratch it. His attention turned from Ashkit, then Thrushkit and finally, the hollow where the prey was stored. Did something go wrong to warrant no reaction? Or perhaps it .... work? Did they summon the Stareater? Or something like that?

"What happens now, is that you run back to your nests." A booming voice rolled over the three young cats like thunder, a large shadow coming to loom over them. The figure remained cloaked in shadow, blotting out the light of the stars and moon from where it stood on a large root climbing over one of the dens.

Mistlewhisker had been there the whole time, unable to sleep restfully and instead keeping watch over camp until the sun rose or sleep dragged her away. But instead, three mischievous figures had decided to complete some sort of ritual for a boogey-man Mistlewhisker had never heard of. Stareater? How ridiculous. She had been willing to let the "ritual" play out, but couldn't help herself when the opportunity arose to reveal herself in a dramatic fashion. While they could not see her features, she made a terrible sight that would scare most kits out of their fur.

[Using my silly hr perms to have Mistle spook the little guys. Since they are technically wasting prey and all that lol >;3 (no one is in trouble I just have been waiting like literally an entire month to make this post TEEHEE)]

”Ahhhh!! Yes yes! We will be doing that right now!! Because we’re done! You definitely did not see anything.”
Ashkit grinned nervously at Mistlewhisker before signalling the other two kits to flee.

"Eeeek!!"

Thrushkit squealed, tail between his legs as his shrill cry barely made effort to reach the other cats surrounding him. His silent pause was him collecting his scattered thoughts. He'd thought the voice to be the monster with the ferocity of it, but it was none other than Mistlewhisker. His short fur relaxed, paranoia seeping back into his veins instead of his brain.

"Did we do something bad?"

He tried staying as quiet as possible--but he still had questions he wanted answers. He looked at Ashkit, hazel eyes meeting a flash of amber but nothing more. Dissapointed, he moved his eyes back to the vivad green slits looking down at them. He couldn't tell a single thought Mistlewhisker was thinking, not that he was good with telling emotions anyway. He'd never been confronted by a higher rank, nor had he ever wanted to. Maybe this was really something he shouldn't have done! Oh StarClan what had he got himself into with Ashkit and Palekit? His tiny body bristled as his mind spiraled on and on, anxiety spiking as a shiver ran down his spine.

Palekit
◆ ShadowClan | 5 moons

Palekit was just about to stick his little head into the hollow before something dark had just appeared out of the mist.

"Eep!"

'The Stareater? Is it? Wait...' he didn't even know what it's supposed to look like. But he couldn't make out this figure either. It was too dark, or perhaps this cat was like a shadow. Either way, this would've been a tale to tell. And the only way to tell this tale was if he got out of there alive. He scurried away from the looming shadows after Ashkit who bolted as soon as he heard the voice.

Palekit was on the verge of scrambling off like Ashkit, but he looked back just to see Thrushkit who stood staring and asking a question. 'No. Now's not the time for questions!' Though he was curious too, this figure had told them to return to their nests and that was what Palekit intended to do. In a urgent hushed whisper, he called, "Come on Thrushkit. Let's go!"

And in a moment, Palekit had bolted off to the nursery. [ he left ]

Mistlewhisker watched with no small amount of satisfaction the kits squealing and scattering. She had hoped they would think she was the Stareater, but alas, twas not the case. Mistlewhisker leapt down from her perch, paws thudding heavily on the sandy ground in front of the hollow. Thrushkit's whisper had the Deputy's large ear flicking. "We do not waste prey in this clan." She meowed, but it wasn't unkind. "Think about your mothers. What if one of them hadn't been able to eat because of the prey you wasted but putting it in the hollow?" Mistlewhisker began to gently take the prey out. "Go back to bed, little ones. No 'Stareater' is coming tonight." She hadn't even heard of a "Stareater" before. She was curious as to where they heard that tale from.

Once the kits were back in the nursery, Mistlewhisker began taking the prey back out of the hollow and putting it back into the prey pile. Once she was done, the Deputy padded back to the warrior's den, finally ready for some sleep.

[Idk what this "quasar" is but I am curious ]
