[Atari] Singing on their bones

[Wingnettle]

Blood
Atari healer | age unknown

Blood opened his den, finally seeing the light after many suns in the darkness of his cave. He'd collected any type of bones he could put his eyes on. Or smell the mallow of a broken one...

Rabbits. Hares. Mice. Pigeons. Birds and many types of land prey.
He cleaned them and ordered them in the center of his dark den, until he thought he was ready for something new. The Atari needed strenght, but knowledge was even more precious and Blood knew it well.

The brown tom hummed while moving them out with his teeth, ignoring the curious gazes of his mates while doing so.
As they gathered around him, he kept singing without interrupting his work.

"Dancing... dancing... I'll dance on your bones...
Give me your soul... I'll tear it apart...
Play with it and swallow it...
Mhh... mhh..."

When he finished, he raised his eyes with a small grin and sat down, curling his tail around his paws. Mhh. Lesson time.

"Atari cats! Today I'm finally ready to share something with you.
Kits, kits. Come here and observe.
Claws, trappers. Initiates. I'm calling you now."

He used his paw to rollsome bones toward them, making them scatter all around him.
He closed one eye and widened the other one, observing them a little better this way. Was he losing his sight? He didn't even remember his age, but he was kinda sure he was still young enough.

"Fractures. Earthquakes in your innermost secrets, your hidden branches. Do you want to know more about them?" He laughed, feeling enraptured by his own voice.
"Who wants to know? Mh? You don't want to end up broken, don't you?"
Mh. If Mumble were still here, she would surely stop him. But this knowledge!

"So gather, my friends. Look at my precious treasures."
He grinned, showing his yellow, sharp teeth to the other cats. This was going to be fun.
