[ OVER ] Death Raffle! Goodbye, Sunseer...

[Blinded By Silence]

They had been Mountain Clan, once. Strong. Proud. A family of warriors sworn to each other in bond and in blood. Time had taken the strength from their bones, leaving them weaker. Weary. Cold in a way they had not ever known. While they had their bonds and loyalties to one another, it seemed that, right now, that was all they had. Sunseer’s faith could only take them so far.

The distance had not been enough.

One by one, the cats of Mountain Clan laid their weary heads down. Sleep did not come easily—hungry bellies left doubt festering, with those who remained huddled together for warmth and comfort. Even now, the gentle promise of sleep—the end of one grueling day and a chance for peace—was little more than a whisper of the end. What point was there in waking up when there was no certainty in their future? No promise of a better life for them and their kittens? What kind of warriors were they if the little ones starved, mewling for milk that would not come?

When they had found some gentle reprieve from the cruel world, She came. Moving on silent paws, She worked her way through their ranks, no soul left conscious to bear witness to her grim duty. There were kittens here. Apprentices. Cats who had not yet begun to know life, and might not ever. One by one they had left their homes in search of something better, and tonight?

Tonight, they had failed.

Quote:

Indeed they did. Despite their efforts, the prey pile was just not enough to fill every belly in MountainClan. But such is the way of clan life. And now, we must decide who will leave this clan to join another, to watch their friends and family live another day from their home in the sun.

Welcome to the first ever Death Raffle.

Your job is simple. Just fill out the form below. You may enter in as many MountainClan cats as you choose. But be warned, one of these cats will die.

One by one, as it always went. One by one as it had always been, before the time of Mountain Clan, and as it would be after Mountain Clan ended. She wondered if it would not be sooner rather than later that the poor clan saw its end. Hungry bellies meant weary bodies, and weary bodies did not always wake.

Sunseer did not know when he laid down to rest, the morning sun would not greet him. The warmth of another day did not spread through his fur, nor the sight of familiar faces. When he closed their eyes, it was for the final time.

One by one, she would guide them on their way to SunClan.

Sunseer rose again, but not in the body they had known. He had but a moment to behold his prone form, the life stolen from his lungs by the night chill. She offered the leader a moment to behold his clan, the life that was not his any longer.

Some cats got second chances. Sunseer did not.

“It’s time to go,” She spoke, suddenly at his side. Her eyes, fathomless as the night sky, were gentle. She was Death, but she was not cruel.

Sunseer would not know suffering any longer. Together they walked, one by one, on their way to the Great Sunning Stones. There, he would know warmth and happiness. He would be with his family again.

In a world too cold and cruel for the once great legacy of Mountain Clan, this was the only comfort She could offer.

By morning’s first light, She was gone. There was no sign She had come, but there never was. One by one the cats rose, still worn and weary with no comfort from their sleep. Ahead of them were harder times yet, an uncertain future shrouded in darkness.

Sunseer was not among them.

Skysong was the last to try rousing him. No matter how they were nudged, there was no longer a beating heart to wake. Cold and still, Sunseer had at least gone peacefully. With the new day dawning, Mountain Clan had to move on.

One by one, they would have to move on.
