Starmber wove around many poles of wood, no cat stopped to rest, unless it was night.
Crow was just behind him.
The mountains were nonstop, and his pads stung.
The jutted rocks and the sharp ones were horrible to step on, especially for a cat who was still only about seven moons old.
Starmber paused.
The mountains continued, but under the still rising sun, a clearing was in the middle of the mountains, deeply hidden.
The peaks hid it, but they had stumbled to an entrance of an arch.
The arch was on the peaks, rising over the entrance way.
A rocky path stumbled a bit into the clearing.
And a lake was in the middle.
In the middle of the lake was an island.
Starmber sighed happily and relieved.
They finally found it after moons of searching.
Their new home.
My new home. Every cat will stick closely, and no cat will live elsewhere from here.
Peace will rule us like it's our queen or king.
And we will live happily.
And grateful to the everlasting Eclipse Exile.
He paused, very thoughtful about the thing he thought.
I believe in Eclipse Exile, but it's so far, and just out of reach for some...
All because some cats are evil.
How will we live in peace then?
Crow prodded Starmber. He awoke from his thoughts.
"Welcome to our new home, every cat. We'll live in peace and harmony, no longer in packs. We'll seek out the Eclipse Exile for help. And best of all, we'll live on the island."
He exclaimed.
Crow stopped him.
"Wait, Starmber. We should live where we feel at home."
He paused.
"I will live in the plains, Nightmare in the forest, Shadow Tuft in the pines, and Snow in the lakes, as he used to. The lake caves."
Starmber nodded.
"I'll go to the pines with Shadow Tuft, my mate."
Shadow Tuft purred agreement.
"Let's get home, and every dark moon, we'll meet at the island."
