Reaching Stones Valley

It validated the claims the other cat made about Twolegs crying, even if it didn't directly answer the question. Based on grieving .. Lionstorm inferred they were likely grave markers. "So they bury their dead here, and mark it with rocks?" Not unlike the Clans used to do. Lionstorm had a vivid memory of burial tunnels - caverns full of graves. It seemed so distant now.

"We had these back home once.. now there's not really one specific area, it's dependent on the cat." Cats like zGoslingpaw didn't deserve a proper burial. His brother hadn't; but moons ago Lionstorm had been a different cat who wanted to cling to a toxic memory. And now digging him up would be too late. And a little gross.

At the question, his ears perked up. "Lionstorm, at your service." His muzzle twisted upwards in a smile. "I don't believe you've graced me with yours."

Blackstone nodded, putting a paw upon his own, dark furred chest. "Blackstone, but other cats sometimes either call me Black or Stone for short. Also, yes, you're quite correct Lionstorm. Twolegs do this, burying the dead and put these symbolic stones upon them. They possibly do the same with only certain amounts, but judging to the looks of how many there is. It seems very likely they do it to every one they see." His tail gestured to the one right in front of them, looking over at it with his bright yellow gaze.

Yin crept up to the flat stones, her collar jingling slightly. She had never come this far away from her twolegden, and being separated from Yang made her feel jumpy and nervous. Her eyes darted around as she weaved her way between the stones, tail twitching.

Galahad had been to this place multiple times before, so his housefolk could mourn over a lost one. They only made weird cries, but the heavy scent of grief hanging from them told him more than enough. Wriggling away while they mourned, Galahad spotted a new cat and tilted his head. "Uh, hello...?"

Yin jumped and rounded on the other cat, ears flattened slightly and fur ruffled. "Who're you?" She said shortly. Her normally even voice having a sharpness to it that she resented herself for.

Galahad blinked in surprise at the hostility. What had her so on edge? "Calm down. I'm Galahad. I'm here with my housefolk so they can mourn."

Yin's fur smoothed a bit, but she still eyes the other cat warily. He didn't look much older than her. He must still be a kit. She wasn't accustomed to apologizing, but, looking around, she realized she didn't know how to get back home. She might need this cats help. "Sorry." She murmured. "My brothers not here, and I've never been anywhere without him before." She said, to explain. She looked around. "What is this place?"

Galahad's ears twitched. "I don't know what it's called for the housefolk, but it seems like a place to visit the dead," he said with a sniff. "At least, that's what my nose tells me. My brother, Joe, probably knows more about this place than me."

[DarkWolfie]

That would explain it, the place reeked of death and grief. She scrunched her nose up. "That would explain a lot . . ." @Kyrieknight

Galahad nodded. "Yeah. I don't know why, but they always bring me along. I don't even know who they're mourning for."
