No Longer You.

Prologue.

Treading. Digging. Climbing. Running. Escaping.

The Journey:*****

How does one overcome the obstacle put before them?

You started this Journey strong, confident, willing to face the challenges in front of you.

Your confidence is dwindling, hope is almost lost.

Death is what seems to approach. Is it truly death or rather change, death’s sibling?

Lightning crashes nearby. It’s a Sign.

Do you listen to it?

Interlude. #1.
————

Rain falls, The storm continues!

A challenger approaches. The shadow is large, but is that.. no it can’t be! It’s a paw..?
What now….

Such a powerful force, all from a cat. How can that be?

“You must be who Rook mentioned. A monster here to block my way.” The cat spouts.

What. A monster? How dare they! How rude!

Anyways! The new challenger is a cat, with a smart mouth. It appears to be young. No more than a year old. A blueish grey cat… yellow markings..? Interesting.

This lightning! It’s not from the rain clouds. Then where?

The cat! How can that be?!

That’s impossible!

Ah! This one’s special… very oh so special

The cat padded forward, a voice? Who, from where? Whipping their head around. Lightning crashed around them. Something called them here. It smirked as it trotted towards the storm. Lightning following them as they moved. “Follow the North Star, when you’re lost.” It remembered someone or something telling them that.

The mystery “challenge” wasn’t another cat. It was a mental challenge. A test of wits, confidence, control.

Ah! Control, that word tingled around the cats soul. A different force was pushing that word towards the cat.

Something approached, it wasn’t a feline, canine, twoleg. The cat was putting everything on the line. It had no choice but accept its fate. The noise of crackling lightning that was only thing that kept the cat awake. Trees falling, sticks breaking, with every step the cat took something broke. Physically and mentally, snapping was heard. Something about being abandoned and left to die really changes a cat mentally.

Watching this cat walk and trot through the storm with ease, the light of their lightning was the only leading the way through the storm. Ruthlessness had gotten the cat through so many of the events in its life. Now they had to be cautious, or they wouldn’t get home. The one thing they desperately wanted. No matter what they needed to keep moving.

Lastly the storm. It was made to stop them by design. Mentally the cat was on its last breath. The cracking and spiraling in its own mind was the worst challenge. They would need to take a dangerous route through this. Be Dangerous.

This Journey was far from over.

You cannot get away with playing safe for this.
You wanna get home? Put it all on the line.
And put your whole brain in it.
