Assiah | Sheeva Queen

Walking the entire way home was hard, but even harder when your trying to keep your kittens inside on you. She hissed at another kick, trotting even faster to the ruins. A stone covered moss arch came into view, telling her home was very close. The pregnant cat slowly walked up the stairs and passed through the arch. Everything is covered in moss and vines, stones toppled over, laying on one another. Your able to tell that didn't always belonged there. Some reason are jus moss, giving you you a warm, soft place to sleep. The snow was melting rather quickly on this area, leaving puddles of water in the sunken in holes of the ruins. Everything is old, but it doesn't smell. 

Assiah walked, going to why she as a nest made, snow ever having access to it. It needs to be nice and warm. The she cat entered the ruins, heading towards a smile room. Above, there is a circular hole in the ceiling, giving light that she needs. At the right, their is  decent sized hole in the wall. It must have been man made due to the ceiling above and walls around the hole is very secure. The Sheeva Queen walked over to it and looked inside. Missing lined the walls that she he had placed there, wanting it to be insulated, keeping the cold out, but warmth in. The nest itself, laid on the floor inside the hole. You have to jump up and step into it. Moss covered the floor, but the feathers of birds were in their and also her own fur. Must be nice and soft for her kittens. Assiah jumped inside and laid down, curling up and waited.

The Queen wasn't seen for some hours, to busy to move.Assiah gazed down at her newborn kittens. All 6 of them, nursing contending as they snuggled into her. One little female did peak her interest. Her fur is thin and every time she would groom her, fur would come off. It was odd. The new mother licked her kittens, able to tell some belongs to Sharkbait and the other Silas. She smiled to herselt, knowing she has a little secret to keep. Assiah curled up to her kittens, letting them nurse before drifting off to sleep, exhausted.

[Lennox]

Silas wasn't in a good mood. The large male swaggered into the building his flame colored fur covered by some snow sprinkling after he had climbed a large tree "those damn Roshen's" he growled to himself in a low and deadly tone.

Today he had been scouting on his own near the Cathedral using every stealth skill his mother Sheeva had taught him if he was caught by the Roshen not only would he had been killed the entire Sheeva colony would have been at stake. It was a rick Silas had been willing to take.

The tom paused their numbers in the colony was down so protection was also at the lowest but that was not what made the tom stop. There was a scent in the air one the Sheeva colony had not smelled for a long time.

He began to move quicker until the sound of mewing was audible " They have arrived finally?" He called not wanting to receive a smack from Assiah by getting to close to her young.

[starsky]

The mews didn't both the mother cat, didn't even wake her, but the sound of a voice did. The mother sat up, her ears twitching more as she sat up and looked out the hole. Her dark eyes blinked into focus before looking at Silas. Assiah glared at him before yawning, showing him her long sharp teeth. Almost like a warning. She would die for her kittens right now. The Queen looked over her King and Mate, knowing he has every right to see the kittens. Maybe he will not notice that some don't look like they belong to him. She gave all 6 kittens a gentle lick before turning back to the Sheeva King. 
"Yes they are here. There are 6 little ones here. 6 new members for the colony. You can come closer to get a look at them. They are beautiful." 
Assiah smiled at before her gaze turned to look back at her newborn kittens, just hours old. She nuzzled them and began to groom, going one by one. She sighed and watched them before her gaze went back to Silas.

[constantine]

Chauncy roamed the colony grounds. His ears signaled to him that the Sheeva Queen and King had arrived and were making themselves at home in a den. It was time for the Queen, Assiah, to have her kittens so she must have returned for that. It'd be interesting to see that the young would look like. 

Having new members in the colony was important especially in such dire times as these. He hoped they would stay healthy and survive until adulthood to keep the Sheeva colony strong. The scout turned tail and began to head towards the dens. There wasn't much he could do without another cat to accompany him in scouting so he figured he'd best stay within the territory. Maybe he would even get the chance to see the little ones. 

[Lennox]

Silas tail twitched the tom was always on guard he had harden over time. He nodded at Assiah "good, good we always need members specially with those Idiot Roshen's around the corner." He stepped forward and took a peek at the kittens he wasn't a very loving guy and stood their awkwardly before stepping out again "They all look good the one looks a little small compared to the others but I am sure it will grow with time."

His ears swiveled around at the sound of another cat nearby the tom was instantly on guard his fur standing on end he marched out the den and was ready for a fight one he would end another's life. When the flame colored tom realized it was just a scout he relaxed a bit " Ahh Chauncy I didn't know it was you" He grumbled " Assiah as given birth to six new members" he was pleased as punch the colony was growing. He motioned for the tom to follow him " come get out of the cold" Silas meowed before disappearing back into the Ruins.

[constantine]

Chauncy was grateful for the acceptance and moved inside behind the King.
He maneuvered through the ruins until he came upon where Assiah was denned up. The kittens were small and yet full of life. They were cute too, he could clearly see the resemblance from the mated pair but a few stood out.

He didn't say anything as it wasn't his place to expose any of the Queen's actions. "They looks beautiful. It is nice for the Sheeva colony to have some new faces, they look like they'll grow up to be strong." In times like this they needed it. Strength in numbers and body in order to hold off the Roshen colony. Their odds weren't looking good.

[starsky]

Assiah

The Bengal mother watched as the King, her mate look over the kittens. She couldn't help, but wonder if he felt proud of himself. He clearly wasn't showing it. She nodded to him, having decided what she will be naming all 6 of her babies; Amazon, Sirius. (One Shy adopted), Omnia, Charles, and Knox. One of her ears turned to a new voice and blinked seeing it was Chauncy, a scout. 
"Thank you, Chauncy. I can't wait for them to grow. I know one looks odd. She has almost no fur. Poor things."
Assiah sighed and looked back at the tom cat and smiled at him a bit. She blinked as he stomach rumbled and she sighed, knowing she will have to leave to get food. Hopefully, the kittens will be ok on their own. Her biggest worry is that they will not be safe enough.

Iorek
A medium sized cat trotted through the snow, doing his best to get back to the Ruins, the home of Sheeva. In his mouth is a rabbit. He was lucky to find something like this in the forest. The Royal Guard known as Iorek came to the arch and walked up the stone steps and glanced around. It's rather quiet out. It was cold out and the tom was hungry, but someone might need it more than him. His blue eyes glanced around and soon spotted the king and his friend. Taking a deep breath, he walked over to him placed the rabbit down at Silas's paws.
"I caught this. We don't have much hunter(none actually), so I went out to find us something to eat. You need it more than I do."
Iorek took a deep breath and looked around quietly, able to see his own breath. He was tired of winter and ready for spring. It's coming do to the snow is getting super soft, but not fast enough. The tom sat down in the extra wet snow, wrapping his own tail around himself  to keep himself warm.

[constantine]

Chauncy

⚜ Chauncy ⚜

The Balinese tom squinted as he focused on the kit in question. She was... hairless. It was quite unusual. He was afraid for how she'd survive this winter without a thick coat of fur.

"Hello Iorek."
Chauncy hadn't noticed how hungry he was until Iorek came in with a freshly killed rabbit. He could go out and find his own prey, even though he was specialized in scouting he was well versed in hunting.
The snow made it difficult to traverse in and also kept the prey scarce but he was confident in his abilities to get something. One thing the Sheeva needed were hunters, more cats in general would be great but with a fresh litter of kittens arrived, food would be needed.

Hopefully this hell of a winter would end soon.

[Lennox]

His stomach growled and he had not realized he had gone so long without food. Silas studied the rabbit for a moment part of him wanted to grab it and rip it a part and devour it but the other part new it was more important to make sure the queen was fed. He nodded " Thank-you Iorek, this is much appreciated.

Silas looked over at Chauncy and noticed the way the tom looked at the food. The flame colored tom bent down placing a paw on the prey he tore of one of it's large back feet and tossed it towards the cream colored tom. He then processed to take over the remaining rabbit towards Assiah and set it down before her.

Though him and Assiah hadn't really gotten to spend much time together, the she-cat who had carried his kits was growing on him. The part of him wanted to get to know her more and then there was one part who wanted to keep her far away from him worried that he would get to close and then lose her. Silas knew he could not deal with another blow losing his mother and sibling was one thing he was learning to do.

The large muscular tom sat curling his tail around himself. "Tonight it a meeting at meow alley." he stated flatly looking up at Iorek and then back at Assiah " I know the Shamsi's will of course attempted to make peace like they always do." Again the tom paused wanting to pick his next words carefully "However we all know that we are to weak for an attack on the Roshen. The Shamsi's are foolish with their human contact and I will not let them put our Colony in danger! We will not help the Shamsi's in anyway if one of us have to go instinct it will not be us, not now,not ever." The tom knew his mother would have done the same thing though she had always put herself first she would have chose to make sure her colony would survive to see the next sunrise.

[constantine]

Chauncy was grateful for the food. About to show his thanks before he ate until he heard Silas began to talk. He had mentioned the meeting in Meow Alley and the Shamsi. The tom was much aware of the state of their colony and with a little intuition he could conclude that it wasn't just them that were suffering. The Shamsi had to have been hit hard by the winter. While they had more loss in terms of the Roshen attacks, the Sheevas were stuck with more mouths to feed. 

Silas mentioned his clear displeasure in working with the Shamsi. He wanted to protect the colony, which Chauncy understood. There would be no coordination between the two with that attitude. While he himself had no ties with the colony, he didn't exactly dislike them in anyway. Whether or not they survived wasn't anything he was concerned with, he was more worried about how the Sheevas were to get out of this. A small alliance would be helpful, at least until the Roshen were out of the way, then the two colonies can go back to their bitter rivalry. 


"Silas sir, I don't-" He paused, lowering his voice and contemplating whether or not he should just leave the den and eat his meal in peace. He kept his mouth shut, instead saving his words for the meeting, if they were even going. 

[starsky]

A little bald creature ran through the ruins of Renwick, giggling and laughing as she played tag with her brothers and sisters. Right now, Sirius is it and complaining about no one is letting him tag them. Rounding a corner, the Sheeva Princess known as Omnia hid in a dark corner, staying in the shadows. This 6 week old kitten doesn't like to be out in the sun. The rays hurt her pink skin when exposd at long periods of time, it burns her. Ommi laid down in the corner, doing her best not to giggles so much and be caught by her black furred brother.  Her blue eyes lifted upward hearing a laugh and saw her mother watching her and her siblings from on top of some ruins, high off the ground and watching with amusement. 

Sirius chased after his siblings, his little legs carrying him around. It's rather frustrating that no one was letting him tag them. He was slowly hating the game of tag. "Come on, guys! I don't think I want to play anymore. I've been tagged 5 times." Sirius pouted and whined, but continued to run, wanting to tag someone. The black kitten came to a stop, glancing around, not sure where to go; right or left.

[Deleted]

Charles the Sheeva Prince

Charles ran around the ruins. He was playing tag with his siblings, and it was a great day for the little orange kit. There was nothing better than running around with his family. He stopped to glance around, and he tried to figure out where all of his siblings were. He squinted his little blue eyes, they had not turned green yet, as he realized that Omnia had disappeared. Stupidly, Charles spun in a circle looking for his sister. Charles liked Omnia, but he couldn't help but find her lack of fur weird. It made him a little uncomfortable around her.

The ginger prince heard the immeadiatly recognizable voice of his brother Sirius, and the worried brother turned to listen to Sirius. "I don't think I want to play anymore. I've been tagged 5 times." Charles instantly felt sorry for his brother, and he ran in front of Sirius once the black kit had stopped. "Come Sirius! You have to keep playing!" The orange kit fell onto his back and showed his belly to his brother. "Come on! Tag me Sirius! Then I will be it. OH! Maybe you can help me! We could catch the others if we worked together!" The over-excited kit had never been very interested in rules, and he didn't care if working together was against the rules. He just didn't want Sirius to feel left out.

Amazon sat panting her mouth hanging open and her tongue lolling all afternoon in the hot spring sun the kittens had been playing tag. Amazon a small grey and white kitten had been bursting with energy when their mother had let them out of the ruins but now it seemed the kitten could not catch her breath if her life depended on it. The she-kitten crumbled to the group in a heap of fuzzy grey and white fur her chin resting on the cool soil. She rolled her eyes as she saw Charles trying to help whiny Sirius because he couldn't get tagged maybe if he ran faster he wouldn't be it all the time.

Knox one of the princess of the sheeva's was on top of a low hanging branch not to far from the ruins she was watching her sibling all the while cleaning her paws from any dirt that may have collected on her pretty white coat. She was very different from her five other sibling and pure white coat with orange points on her face,paws and tail! However there was one thing that Knox held a great trait of the Sheeva's was her love for herself.

[starsky]

Assiah watched her kitten from on top of the ruin walls, keeping a good eye on them all. Three remained inside the ruins, while two were outside. Her eyes went to Knox and she frowned a bit at her kitten. She just hoped her young daughter can get down herself and not need to be rescued. She was enjoying her time and way from her kitten. She wanted to go and get something to eat, but there is no one to watched her kittens. A sigh left the Bengal and she closed her eyes before reopening them.
"Be careful, Knox! Remember I had to save you last time you got stuck."

Sirius looked at hishalf-brother, clearly taking after his father Silas. It was clear they have different fathers, but he loves Charles matter what. He watched his brother, trying his best to find the smile that was twitching to appear on his face. 
"I'm sorry, but I shall let you catch everyone yourself, Charlie."
With that said, the black tom lifted his paw and tapped it to the other tom kit's exposed fluffy belly.
"Tag! Your it, Charlie!"
Sirius turned and raced away from the flame colored kitten and out of the ruins, yelling that Charles was now it. He couldn't help, but trick his brother. It was a bit to easy. The small black kitten ran passed Amazon and went to hid behind a big Rock to him, but small on to an adult.
__________________________

Little Omnia had watched it all from the shadows on the ruins, her cream/pink skin finding from it all. She didn't dare place a paw step outside the ruins. The sun was just to much for her. She turned and crawled away from, Charlie, not wanting to be seen by him because he was now it. Her gaze lifted to Assiah before back down at the cool stones under her paws. Omnia ran into another room of rhetoric moss covered ruins and hid in the shadows once again.

[Deleted]

Charles grinned and tried to flip onto his feet. Instead he ended up in a tangle of paws and legs, but soon enough he stood up on all four paws. He grinned from ear to ear as he started to look for his other siblings. His nose was working hard trying to sort out the scents of his family and the other Sheeva cats. The little kit hadn't had much practice sorting scents, but he was slowly learning.

A familiar scent drifted past his little pink nose, and he looked around for Knox. Where is she? And then he heard Assiah, so he looked up and saw his sibling, Knox. I'll get her, and she'll never see me coming! Charles started to try and get to Knox's branch now, but it was useless. The prince wasn't very good at climbing, so he sighed and turned away from his sister. He hated that he was coordinated enough to climb up, but cats promised that he would be able to one day. He just hoped they were right.

The orange kit was now looking through the ruins trying to find someone else, and he saw something moving. Charles frowned, and he started to move towards a shadowy part of the ruins. "Hello?" His voice was a whisper, but then he saw Omnia. Charles jumped when he saw her hairless body, "Oh! Uh... Hi..." He didn't move forward to tag her. He didn't do anything. The petrified kit just stood there.

Knox's ear flicked and she yawned as she turned to listen to her mother. Even at such a young age she had started being so rebellious. She rolled her eyes " Please mother that was a long time ago! I'm grown up now" She meowed. Why did her mom have to go and embarrass her like that specially in front of her other siblings? Who were so childish compared to her! She looked down noticing her brother was attempting get up the branch she was sitting on and was relived when he gave up a small wicked smile falling onto her face as she laid down preparing to take in has many sun rays had the tiny kitten could.

Amazon raised her ears when she saw Charles dash past her jumping to her paws she ran after the orange tom hoping to catch but suddenly she was distracted by a small frog that hopped past her. She ran after it has it took giant leaps compared to her small steps.

Soon enough the kitten lost sight of the frog in the thick forest trees. She turned to go back not realizing how far she had actually gone until she saw nothing but trees. The kitten eyes went wide has saucers has she realized she was lost. "Mother??" she cried shaking in her skin. "Charles! Sirius! Knox!" she cried out not sure if she would ever see her family again.

[starsky]

Omnia looked up and blinked her blue eyes to see her fluffy brother, Charles. She watched him, not speaking for a moment, knowing how he felt about her. It was very clear that he is hesitating. The little bald she kit watched before she decided it was time to speak, "Hi, Charlie. You can tag me if you want, I don't mind." She gave her brother a sweet, gentle smile. It must be hard having a freak of a sister, but it's worst for her because she felt like a freak and some of her own family were afraid of her. Omnia stood and stretched before getting into a playful crouch in front of Charles, waiting to see what he would do next.


Assiah laid on top of the ruins, soaking in the suns rays as she watched her 12 week old kittens play with one another. They are the only kittens in the clan, so they will most likely form a strong bond with one another. She rolled her eyes at her daughter next before sighing a bit. Her ears twitched hearing her name and blinked, jumping down and glanced around nervously. "Amazon! Amazon where are you?!" The mother cat jumped forward and sniffed the ground, tasting the scent before leaping forward, into the forest. The bengal jumped onto a fallen log to get a better little till she saw a little blue and white form. The Sheeva Queen jumped down and raced, jumping and sliding under objects that got in her way. Finally, Assiah found Amazon and let out a sigh of relief. "Amazon, I am so glad I found you. Never do that agian. Other colonies could have killed you or a predator. You had me so worried." The mother took a deep breath and nuzzled her daughter and licked the top of her head several times, reassuring herself and her young daughter.

"Uh... Uh... Uh Okay..." Charles tried to leap forward and bat Omnia on the shoulder, before he knew if he had actually hit her he ran. She scared the poor orange kit, and he felt bad that he was freaked out by her, but he couldn't help it. She was creepy! Maybe I should apologize... He though to himself, but when he turned around he didn't see her. So he just ran around trying to see if there was somewhere to hide.

Charles looked around and saw his mother, Assiah. He ran up to her and started purring, "Mom! Mom! Mom!" Trying his best to get her attention he jumped up and down. He was a bit of an attention hog at times, but he just wanted to be with his mommy. He was a bit overly attached to Assiah, and he knew that one day he would have to move on. But it was hard. She was so nice, and she could do no wrong in his eyes. At least for the time being.
