Eclipse Sighting
Nowin was eating prey under a tree’s shadow when he suddenly noticed how everything began to get dark around him. He quickly looked at the sky, his eyes wide with surprise. The sky looked similar to what the old tales said the night sky looked like, even had those shiny dots other cats called stars on it. Norwin shook his head to confirm he wasn't sleeping, standing with a big smile on his face. He never heard of something like this happening since the night disappeared, which could only mean that their world was changing again and that there was still hope for the night to return.
full story
Norwin was born in a small group of cats that lived in an abandoned human house, being the first kit to be born in months. His name was in honor of an old tale from the time where the night still blessed this world.
He grew up very attached to said tale, asking his parents to tell the story every day before sleeping. With time Norwin decided to be just like the cat from the story, the one who always saves everyone at the end.
When the tom became six months old, the group decided that it was time for norwin to help the rest. They decided to put him on medicine duties rather than send him out to hunt with the other cats. This was because he was like a little brother to everyone there and they would never want to see him get hurt in any way. The group began calling him “their little spark” due to how he always managed to light up the mood around the place with his big smile and bright orange fur.
One fateful day after his lesson, Norwin decided to look out through the window and noticed a strange cat covered with a piece of cloth. Noticing that all the hunters were out, he decided to go out to chase off this loner away from their home. This was the first time Norwin ever felt the sun rays on him, it was hotter outside than he expected but he wouldn't back down now.
Norwin approached the loner without any care in the world, a twig that he didn't notice made his presence clear after he stepped on it. The loner quickly turned towards him, tired blue eyes looking at him for an instance before he pounced on top of norwin. The young tom closed his eyes as a reflex when the loner jumped on top of him expecting the sudden pain of a wound but instead he felt coldness.
Norwin tried to break free from him until the loner spoke to him, "you are lucky I'm not like the rest of loners" he said before letting norwin go, which made norwin feel confused.
The two cats ended up speaking for what felt like hours, the loner was too tired to walk away while norwin had so many questions to ask to the first stranger from afar. The hunting group came back before Norwin could notice and they were calling for him inside the house. The loner looked at him for a moment before pushing him with one of his paws, saying that he would come back here to tell him more tomorrow if Norwin brought prey with him.
Thankfully Norwin didn't get grounded and the next day he managed to escape again, this time bringing what was meant to be his daily prey to the loner. In exchange he told him more about the world, revealing that the world seen in his story was no longer real due to the sun and that his family was keeping that from him. He didn't care at all, which caught the loner by surprise and made him laugh.
The two continue to meet a few more days to casually talk about anything, norwin sharing his new knowledge of medicine and taking care of the loner as much as he could possibly do.
One day Norwin noticed how the loner's paws were starting to have small crystals on them, crystals that would fall and melt on the ground. That's when the loner finally told norwin about the rot and how he was having effects of ice rot which would keep getting worse and might kill him one day, or at least that was what he knew about it. This caught norwin completely off guard, he had never heard anything about a disease like that and it made his whole body shiver. "There has to be a way to fix it" norwin said with confidence in response the loner shook his head, he revealed that the reason he began traveling was to find a cure but never did.
The loner got up a cloud of air leaving his maw as he let out a sigh, the loner told him that it was time for him to continue looking and that it was better for norwin to stay in his home safe from this world. Norwin tried to protest but he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his cheek, the loner attacked him and now blood was running down his face. Norwin was confused as the loner walked away from him, saying his final goodbye as Norwin just stared at him leaving his sight.
Suddenly he felt a strong feeling on his chest, something pushing him forward to say something before it was too late. He got up and cleaned the blood from his cheek. "One day I'll find that cure and I'll help you, I'll help everyone!" Norwin smiled as the loner turned back to him with open eyes, for a second a smile formed on his face too but he quickly turned around and continued his path.
Norwin never saw him again as the moons went by. He decided to stay until he was older and had learned more from his family, and they knew that it was impossible to keep norwin there forever. When he turned 12, he decided it was time to leave the nest.
After a heartbreaking goodbye, the tom began his adventure. Using his training and the information that he learned from the loner, he made his way through the world. Finding different types of cats, some were kind and helped him on his way while others would just attack him on sight.
Despite everything he continued moving forward, collecting as much information about this world and the one who came before with hope that one day he would discover how to fix this world back to its glorious days.
