--Mentions: Remedy

The ebony pelted cat woke as the sun crept over the horizon, blinking her pale green eyes open and letting out a huge yawn. This desert was the worst, her black pelt soaked up the heat and made her sweat, but there was no water to replace the fluid she lost. Night wasn't much better, it was freezing then. Dawn and dusk were her favourite times, she could hunt then without much trouble. It didn't take her long to get to her paws and shake the dust from her pelt. "Don't think about jumping on me little ocelot, this heat has gotten me in a foul mood" she warned, giving a look to also ward off the smaller cat.

Lifting her front right paws from the earth she looked at it, it was as cracked as the ground upon which it walked. Bringing her salmon coloured tongue out she began to lick it, removing some of the blood that was dried on it. If the blood was her own or the small creature she caught the day before she didn't know. "I'm off to hunt, these small creature don't fill my belly and it's too hot during the day for me to try and hunt" she spoke to no-one in particular. All she wanted was for someone to hear, so they knew where she had gone to. The occasional bits of water they came across kept her going, that and her prey.

The tigress was awoken as she felt small paws upon her side, making her jump a little in surprise. Seeing it was just Remedy she chuckled, watching the small spotted cat make her way across the group. Getting to her paws she began to follow the small cat, bounding over the other felines that lay in her path. Coming to the melanistic jaguar she skidded to a halt, the cat was on her paws and had a foul temper. "Sorry" she muttered sheepishly, before skidding round her and continuing her game of chase. The heat didn't bother her too much, but the lack of water left something to be desired. Back in her home she'd been able to go swimming in the lake nearby every day, she could still imagine the feeling of the water upon her pelt. The memories had her distracted as she continued to run.

Coming back into the world of the living as she crashed with the large male tiger she swiftly backed up. "Sorry! I'm sorry! I'll watch where I'm going in future" if it had been possible she would've been bright red in the face. Her ears lowered, showing she was truly sorry for the collision she had caused. Her eyes flicked to Remedy again, it was clear she just wanted to enjoy herself. Taking off once more she made it to the other side of the group of cats, looking down at Remedy. "Sorry!" she called back to Shere Khan once more. "That was a lovely chase, thanks" she purred to the Ocelot, sitting beside her.

Loki | Male | 4 years, 2 months | Jaguar
Location: Desert; Temporary Camp; With Group | Mentions: Remedy, Group in General

As morning came, the bright sun rose slowly, very slowly. Lying in the warm sand was a massive pitch black jaguar, his head laying on his sandy paws and, due to a breeze all throughout the night, the sand had managed to cover his back-paws, legs, and some sand on his back too, though not nearly as much as was on his paws. Slowly waking up, Loki was still drowsy and a bit grumpy to and it didn't help when his little friend, Remedy, jumped on his back, causing the already grumpy jaguar to hiss. His head had been slowly raising up when the ocelot jumped on his back and her doing so had caused Loki's head to go down, muzzle colliding with the sand. With a quiet snarl, the black feline stood up, tensing his muscles, which got most of the tiredness out of his bones. Looking towards the sun, he let out a huff. It was hot enough, but he knew it would get even hotter once daytime arrived. This was mostly tragic for Loki, and any other black felines, as the hot rays seemed to be attracted to his black fur

Loki shook his body, the sand particles flying, before he extended his forepaws in a stretch, his rump going slightly in the air as he did so. After doing so, his intimidating eyes searched for Remedy, the only feline he was close to as he had known the small cat for a long time, the two practically best friends. In his search, he not only saw the ocelot, but he also saw a familiar tiger; Shere Khan. Ooh, he disliked that cocky cat. Always needing to be the leader, always needing to be strongest and the best at everything. In Loki's mind, the male wasn't. With a sigh, the sweaty and muscular jaguar began trudging towards Remedy, tail swaying back and forth behind him. "Do you always need to wake cats up?" he asked, a half serious and half teasing tone in his masculine voice as he slightly nudged her with his muscular shoulder, eyes narrowed- though there was a hint of amusement in them, though he definitely didn't show any emotion towards the small tiger, who he wasn't speaking to. Most would think he'd kill her, since she had woke him up- as he was known to be a aggressive brute- but Remedy was special. If it was any other cat, they'd probably get a scratch for disrupting his sleep.

Manyare | Female | 2 Years, 8 Months old | African Leopard
Location: Desert; With the group | Mentions: Loki, Remedy, Queen, Vidar, Katja

Manyare had been aroused by the rays of the early morning sun which, although they could hardly be noticed in the still-dark sky, already brought ridicule daytime heat of the desert. The voices of her awoking and already active partners helped on the task too, forcing her round ears to twitch slightly. Her piercing eyes opened not long after, blinking a couple times to erase the blurred vision on them. Her skull was lifted from her great paws, allowing her to glance around. A strong mixture of scents invaded her nostrils, all of them resulting as strangers for her. She was relatively new on the large feline group, and definitely not used to being so close to other species. If this exhausting journey didn't have such a promissing objective, she would be already baring her large fangs to other leopards. Perhaps, even lions. Even though those were rare ocassions, when another predator steal her prey, her nasty temper was discovered. Being as stubborn as she is, she ignored the fact that this easily gets her in major trouble. With a somewhat lazy move, Manyare got on her feet with the help of her front legs. The dried branch underneath her body creaked, letting her know that it would not be able to support her weight soon. She had spend the night in a fallen, old and dried log covered with sand. Who knows how much time it has been there, that it can't even hold a leopard on top. The female leaped down with a sly move, willing to keep what was left of the piece of wooden stable. As soon as her paws touched the cracked ground, a sudden heat enveloped her silhouette, as if by her traveled an electric current. She certainly hated the weather.

A paw in front of the other in a straight line, Manyare headed towards a group, formed by a couple of brutes and smaller females. She recognized them all, but her eyes observed Remedy for a few seconds, who seemed to have fun waking up other cats. Luckily, her branch was far enough... Rosing her lips into a warm smile, she bowed slightly in a sort of greet. "Ladies, gentlemans." Her british accent was heard with a hoarse tone, due to the lack of use during the night. Her tip tail made visible moves, moving from side to side with rythm, expressing her mood, wich was surprisingly good so far. If the day continued with such a calmed air, Manyare could gift smiles and sarcastic jokes until darkness invades the desert once more.

The brute opened his mouth, letting out a long yawn, the sunlight of morning striking against his yellow-stained fangs. He didn't really care about the other feline crashing into him, shrugging it off. He blinked slowly as he continued to stare in the direction he was going to lead everyone in. He occasionally glanced back to check and see if any of the ones who went off hunting had come back. He wanted to leave now and hopefully get there by the time the sun has crossed the middle of the sky.

He let out a low grunt when he heard another cat talking to him. He turned his head slowly, seeing a smaller mountain lion. He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "There is supposed to be an oasis a little ways away from there. I plan to have everyone stay for a couple days." He spoke briefly. It was very rare for Shere Khan to have the group stay in one area for more than a day. He usually just travelled until dusk and then continue traveling in the morning. The sun was especially hot today, so he wouldn't be surprised if any cat would collapse under the heat-- not like he would stop for them. If they can't handle it, they don't deserve to be apart of the migration group.

The spotted cat let out a triumphant laugh, obviously satisfied with her work. She let out a small squeal when she realized that Katja had been chasing her. She then shrugged it off with a cool smile, "No problem. Any time." She purred softly, licking at the side of her paw. She turned to look at Loki and crawled around him to sit between his forelegs, planning to shield herself from the oncoming rays until the group would get moving.

She looked up at Vidar, blinking quickly, "Well, it's my job. Plus it's fun to see them get angry." She giggled darkly, leaning back against Loki's stomach fur. She liked cuddling with his fur. It was especially soft on his belly. She looked over at Queen who had caught some nice, "Oooh, nice." She purred warmly. Remedy was obviously the smallest cat in the little group they had formed. Queen was pretty close, but the serval was especially taller than the little ocelot. She looked up to the leopard that had joined the group, slumping back against Loki even more. She hated being tiny, but she had a bodyguard-- and a good one too.

The black cat had slunk off into the dawn, unsure if anyone had heard her words. Her nose twitched as she took in the scents of the desert, most of which was simply dirt. The dust she had disturbed with her paws went into her nostrils, causing the cat to sneeze. just another thing she hated about this place, the dirt. Dirt and sand and dirt and sad, that's all there is! a small growl of annoyance came from her maw. There were small bushes dotted about, small prey would often hide themselves in this scarce shrubbery. As she was checking the land she came across a burrow, sticking her nose close she took in a deep breath.

Prey, it smelt of prey. This made the cat happy, for once this place was looking mildly liveable. She had in fact found a hyrax burrow, the animals were still asleep inside though which caused a problem. Looking at the direction the entrance hole went Makali moved herself to where she should be above the den. Pushing her front half off of the ground she went onto her hind legs for a moment before crashing down on the earth. That ought to of woken the sleeping rodents in panic, now all she had to do was wait near the entrance of the burrow. Soon a hyrax had made itself clear, to which Makali lunged down and grabbed the creature. It's squealing alerting the others who all either darted for cover or remained in the burrow. Swiftly she killed her prey, before deciding to rejoin the group.

As the ocelot said it was no problem she returned the purr, although it was short lived as she was left alone again. The young cat stood, ears twitching as a fly landed upon one of them. Hearing a question about what they would do today she padded over to the pair talking, her curiosity had taken over her. Sitting next to the pair she joined in, she liked to mimic Shere khans leadership style. The large male reminded her of her father, a true leader, and so she held a certain admiration for him.

"An oasis? Do you think there really is one?" there was hope that filled her voice. Her eyes however scanned the distance, which appeared to be nothing but more desolate land. "If there is an oasis and we find it I don't know if I will drink of swim first. Perhaps both" she let out a content sigh. She could imagine it now, a beautiful place with plenty of water. With water should come prey, I wonder what creatures call this home.... She began to imagine these weird and wonderful creatures that may inhabit this land, it was one of her ways of keeping her hopes up.
