WHOISHE.thumb.png.ba837b494dce7446f52dff17f5d1b555.png

a tribe, haunted by the a legend of a nicheling who's been long dead.

or that's what everyone thinks.

but, she's gone! theres nothing to worry about. 

he never left.

but.. even so. the tribe still tells the younger nichelings the story of the nicheling.

but, its just a story. it probably doesn't mean anything.

or does it?

the two kits were curled up next to their mother, their eyes still closed.

thyme fidgeted with a piece of the nest, shifting uneasily 

she looked at her kits, lost in thought.

the.. light brown one.. their name will be.. lichen 

thyme shifted her gaze to the darker brown one

and you.. your name will be.. coriander

coriander crouched down, then pounced on lichen playfully

"hey!!!" lichen yelped, he pushed coriander off, then tackled them.

the two kits play fighted, laughing while doing so.

thyme shifted uneasily, watching the kits play

"...what if they get hurt..?" 

"they'll be fine, thyme. they wont get hurt." purslane purred.

"but.... are you sure..? what if they wander off.. or.. or.." thyme said, sounding uneasy.

"another member of the tribe would catch them, no kit would be able to wander off easily"

"its going to be alright."

(tw, child death)

 

but, purslane was wrong.

 

coriander rolled on to their back, bored. 

"lichen!!! we are NEARLY two gemers!!! we should be able to explore!!"

"i mean.. wouldn't it be dangerous?" lichen looked over at coriander from the nest, where lichen was currently laying down in.

"i mean.... you never know whats out there... there could be bearyeans.." 

"yeah but none come near here!! we'd be fine!!"

lichen stood up, getting out of the nest, "...if you say so!"

the two kits padded away from the nest, and towards the small stream. usually, thyme or purslane would have to come with them here, in case they fell in or tried to explore. but this time, they were able to easily jump over it.

the two kits looked around, everything was so... big.

coriander ran off in a random direction, and lichen followed.

 

the kits soon came to a burrow, this was a rabbil burrow- thyme had described it a while back 

"woah!!" lichen climbed on top of the rabbil burrow "haha!!!! im the ruler of the rabbils!!"

"hey!!! not so fast!!" coriander tackled lichen, and the kits began to playfight once again

a snap of a twig caused the kits to look up, expecting one of their moms to have found them.

except... it wasn't.

it was a creature with brown fur, a creature larger then any nicheling could ever be.

a bearyena.

lichen jumped off the rabbil burrow, "coriander!!! come on!!" lichen half yelled half whispered the words.

although. it was too late.

 

coriander looked up at the bearyena, frozen in fear.

they couldn't do anything, couldn't even scream.

for a second coriander was in pain 

then.. they weren't.

they blinked, looking around at their surroundings

it was all.. purpleish grey.. it felt almost dreamlike.

they felt tired, suddenly, like almost waking up from a dream. not quite awake, not quite asleep.

their eyes closed, but in those few seconds, they swore they saw something.

a grey... or maybe black nicheling, with violet eyes.
