What happens when a Blessed One comes back from the Tunnels?
Lengthy story time - cw cannibalism
"What happens when a Blessed One comes back from the tunnels?" FawnKit asks DoveStar, who visibly freezes up at the question.
"A Blessed One coming back? Why... Erm... That hasn't happened since I was an apprentice... I will... Will tell you about it when you're older."
DoveStar couldn't help but notice that faint, starry shimmer in her eyes, like the stars themselves were asking through the kit. She shook her head, excusing herself to her den. Once in, she brushed the mossy curtain closed, laying in her nest to think. Minutes turned to hours before she fell asleep, and a voice, distant and fuzzy spoke her old name.
"PipitPaw, wake up!" DoveStar shot up, feeling herself in a younger version of herself. It was this dream again, this nightmare she had on the regular. She looked at the source of the voice, recognizing it as DawnHeart, or DawnPaw in the moment. "DawnPaw... What's going on?" She asked. Rehearsed. Reused. The same thing she always asked.
DawnPaw, a spitting image of her future son, MoonPaw, sat at the entrance of the Apprentice's den. "Your Mi is calling for a meeting, Fox`Bee is back from the tunnels." DoveStar's eyes widened as she stood up, following her old friend outside. They stood on the edge of the clearing, looking where the young warrior ParsleySpot was pinning down the damned Blessed One, and her mi on the Tall-Stone.
"Blasphemous rat! Demons have told you lies and sins, and you tossed your only chance for the Promised Paradise away!" The Blazing TalonStar yowled at the long hair molly pinned in the clearing. Murmurs of what to do with her erupted throughout the camp.
The molly on the stone got eerily calm as she began to descend. "Your body is damned to the darkness, to save your spirit..."
"...We must remove the earthly bonds." Cats took that as their cue to surround the molly. ParlseySpot took the first bite, tearing off FoxBee's Left ear. DoveStar didn't want to look, but she was frozen as cats began to eat FoxBee alive, her agonized screams filling her ears. She looked to DawnPaw for comfort but... she had that same look on her face as she joined the cats for the Feast.
Her Mi looked at her expectantly, and as much as she fought it her legs moved her to the writhing body. She was lucky that she woke up before she had to taste copper in her mouth again.
