Dusk Wings slipped down the log and quietly trekked through the territory. They walked until they got to the lake and promptly sat down. They were tired. And hungry.

But they had made it! They were going to be a fully fledged Leaf Tribe Rusher now! Just like their sibling. They had lasted the leaf-bare and were going to get even stronger now. Dusk Wings would help provide for the clan, and be one of the best that the Tribes had ever seen!

...They didn’t really believe that, but they latched onto that thought and used it to motivate them. A impossible goal.

Dusk Wings didn’t care.

The fluffy cat squinted out at the water a bit. It was getting all shimmery and different colors. Dusk Wings jumped to their paws and ran for the nearest tree, climbing up high to get a better look at the water.

There! A hawk was circling the water. The Gazer- soon to be Rusher- watched from the tree as the hawk dove back down to the water and snatched at the fish below the surface. The sky and water darkened rather rapidly, and Dusk Wings was soon blinking as the fading light hit the water just right.

Attention grabbed, Dusk Wings leaned forward to watch wide-eyed as the sinking sun was reflected on the water, bathing the area in a warm golden glow. They leaned a bit too far and scambled as they nearly fell, digging claws into the soft bark.

The hawk’s attention was driven away from the fish and towards the fluttering leaves, and that was when Dusk Wings decided it was time to go.

Jumping down from branch to branch, the bicolor passed the line of light and shivered slightly. Once they reached the ground, they came face to face with Robin Sky. They gave her a toothy grin and the two headed back together.

Dusk Wings sat proudly among their tribemates, pleased with their name.

Weasel Dance: I don’t have any crushes at the moment. I’m related to everyone my age. I mean, I might have a crush in the future… I’m still young. I don’t think that’ll be anytime soon. U-um, I dunno about that last question… I guess someone nice? Someone who doesn’t try to force me to do things would be nice. A-and someone strong…

It’s great! She’s learning quickly, I’m so proud of her!

My hope is that she’ll be strong and quick, and more importantly smart and thoughtful! She has plenty of role-models to look up to, after all.

Why would I be jealous?! They’re allowed to spend time with others!

Evening Spider: She’s well fit for the role of leader,. Though, I don’t think she feels the same… I’d probably replace her with Cougar Claw, since she’s basically leading the clan. Evening Spider’s strong and clever. She’ll come through! It was a lot of fun to fight her at the Solstice.

Cougar Claw: Cougar Claw is great! She’s always been really easy to talk to; that’s probably my favorite thing. She does her job well, so no, there’s no one I would replace her with.

Frost Water: Oh, uh, Frost Water? I mean they’re a great listener, but jeez they talk a lot… I get that the spirits are important and that’s their job but… how do you find messages from the spirits in paint? They manage to do it though. Which means they’re good at their job I guess. Replace them? I don’t think there’s anyone that would- or could- do their job, really.
