Sunsets Over Eclipse Clan

It was sunset. The skies were painted with a rainbow of hues, blues and oranges and warm violets. The Sun Lion was giving their final goodnight, and the Moon Lion was raising his sleepy head to light the coming night.

Marblestar curled herself around Dawnglow, the quiet camp providing them a serene moment in the midst of the chaos that was forming a clan.

Moonriver padded up to the gentle lovers, their black tail twitching with amusement as they dropped a piece of prey in front of them.

“Taking a snooze?” they said affectionately, letting out a soft chuckle.

“Not really,” murmured Dawnglow, looking sleepily up at Moonriver. “Just taking a break from setting up camp.”

Marblestar nodded, her tail gently caressing her darling lover. “It’s exhausting,” she added. “Curling with a girlfriend is always an excellent calming down point. Besides, the lions have informed me that we’re done for today.”

“Dang, wish I had one!” said Moonriver, thudding themself down next to Dawnglow and Marblestar to eat their mouse. Dawnglow and Marblestar had eaten previously, and thus found themselves no longer hungry.

“Don’t worry, you’ll find someone someday,” encouraged Dawnglow, giving their oldest friend a gentle lick on the shoulder. “You’ll see. There will be a cat for you.”

“Yeah.” Moonriver got a distant look in their eyes, and Marblestar couldn’t quite tell whether it was a good distant or bad distant.

Gently, Marblestar rested her tail against Moonriver’s flank. “Come on, why don’t we all cuddle? Then we can prepare for whatever tomorrow may bring, okay?”

Moonriver laughed. “Of course.”

They ended up sleeping that way, the three of them cuddled together as they prepared for what tomorrow may bring.
