"Time-Turner?" Snow rolled her eyes. "You know that's just a myth." Blizzard narrowed his eyes, "Should I retell the story?" Snow bounced in excitement. "Yes!!! I LOVE the Time-Turner story!"

"Well it started long ago..."

"The Time-Turners were legendary cats, born long ago in ancient times where tigers , lions, and leopards ruled the forest. There was one leopard, but she was extraordinary. Her pelt was silver and had gray spots and long fur and was slower than usual. Her name was Timeheart. Her power was feared by every creature in the forest, especially LionClan. At the gathering of the full moon, they called her to the center of the area and said, 'We have no room for cats like you in the forest. We do not know what you are capable of, so you shall be exiled from the forest. You are to leave and travel to the mountains and find new life there and live on.' and she was forced out of the forest, leading her on great journeys.

Eventually, she found another leopard like her, and they fell in love. He was called Clockwork. They had three kits, all with the power of Time-Turning, and eventually they created a Clan called TimeClan. Almost every cat was born with the power to turn down time, and the Clans in the forest were still afraid, and planned a revolt against the now-called SnowLeopards. Almost every one was killed, but one lived. She lived on to rebuild the group of Time-Turners, who evolved into us Mountain Cats."

Snow was always fascinated with this story, amazed at the detail put into it and surprised that the legend was true. "So... I'm the last descendant?" she whispered. Blizzard nodded, "But that doesn't make you any different from who you truly are." he scooted closer to her. "No time for stories, we have to make it to the Highest Peak, I hear that there are groups of cats that might be willing to take us in. They call themselves a Clan." 

A light snowfall was starting as the chilly sun rose to the middle of the sky, leaving a shimmer on the snow. The two cats were silent the whole time, and Snow wanted to lighten the mood. While Blizzard wasn't looking, she scooped up a ball of snow and flung it at her brother. "Hey!" he meowed. Snow splashed into her face as Blizzard reacted in the same way. The brother and sister fought with the snow for a while until they decided to find shelter as the sun slowly fell below the horizon. "Come on, I see a burrow over there." Blizzard and Snow bounded towards the area, sniffing to see if it was inhabited by any creatures. "It's abandoned." the older tom stated. he dug out two shallow holes for them to sleep in. "This will do for now." Blizzard meowed. Snow was disgusted at the thought of getting mud on her usually clean pelt. "We have to rest, now, go to sleep."

Snow was in a beautiful area, the sun slowly setting. She started to run and reached a peak and looked upon the forest below. 

Snow woke up with a luxurious yawn, satisfied with her dream. She stretched, arching her back and straightening her forelegs. "I take it you slept well?" Blizzard sat up and yawned. "Yes. I had a wonderful dream. The first since we left." he purred, "I guess leaving was a good decision."
