~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Minnowstar's paws grazed the soft blades of grass below her, taking a swift glance at the stars glimmering above. The dark sky was blanketed with stars, and if she were being honest with herself, she found the sight beautiful.

"Admiring the stars, are you?"

A voice, merely above a whisper, came from her left. The voice made her ears twitch, knowing this voice all too well. Turning her head, she gazed at the star-pelted leader sat beside her.

"Pearl.. star," Minnowstar murmured, shifting her claws among the dirt. "And to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?"

Settling down, only inches away from her, Pearlstar took in a little breath. "I was only visiting you. To check in," Her green gaze was laced with something else. Something she was hiding, "So.. how are you?"

"I am well," Minnowstar fixed her gaze back upon the stars, her blue eyes reflecting the glimmers above. "WindClan is well. We have new kits.. we have good prey, and there has been no bother of twoleg's since we traveled to the lake.."

"I’m happy to hear it," Pearlstar murmured, gazing at the diluted calico she-cat beside her. Inching ever so closer, her white pelt brushed against her flank.

".. Pearlstar," Minnowstar's gaze whipped onto her. Slowly, she inched away once more. "You know—you know that we couldn’t do that. Even now."

".. Minnowstar," Pearlstar mumbled, her green gaze pleading. "You know how I feel. You know how you feel. There are no clan borders in StarClan, there is nothing between us, I—" Pearlstar shuffled her forepaw toward the she-cats paw, gently brushing it. Minnowstar let out a defiant hiss, rustling away. "—If you are going to be honest with yourself for once in your life, Minnowstar, please let it be now."

"I—" Minnowstar muttered, gazing down at her paws. The former RiverClan leader was right; never once had she been honest with herself. Not even with her clanmates, half the time. Maybe she was right. Maybe—now that she were leader—it was the time to do so. "I realize you are correct, Pearlstar. And I would.. like to be honest with you," Settling back down, she shifted against the leader, her pelt brushing hers. "Since that first moment we met in that gathering hollow, I have loved you. But.. being from different clans, I could not accept it. But I can now."

"Mm," Pearlstar hummed, a warm smile spreading across her expression, "And I you, Minnowstar. You know how I feel, I have been quite blunt with you," A warm chuckle came from the former RiverClan leader, a purr rising in Minnowstar's throat. "I didn't care what anyone thought. But I respected you, and respected your decision. Though what stood between us does not stand between us now."

"Besides.." Minnowstar muttered, resting her paw against Pearlstar's.

"Besides that, yes, of course," Pearlstar heaved a sigh. "I know. But one day, my darling, you will join me. And I will be there to welcome you, front and center, I promise you."

Minnowstar stretched up, licking the starry she-cats cheek, "You will wait for me, than?"

"Of course I will, you have my word." Pearlstar rose to her paws, "I must go now, though. Before Squirrelstar comes to chase me down. She really doesn’t like when I come and visit you cats down here. She says it’s not smart, or whatever her excuse is that time."

Minnowstar chuckled, "That sounds like the strong-willed deputy I knew."

"We never really do change, do we?" Pearlstar's whiskers twitched.

"Though.. must you leave right this second?" Minnowstar mewed, her voice just above a whisper. "I mean.. uh.. a few more minutes wouldn’t hurt, would it..?"

"I’m sorry but even that much with make her chase me down," Pearlstar took a pace forward. "I will come and visit, my love. Don’t be upset I’m leaving now."

"S-sorry," Minnowstar's voice shook, tears bubbling in her eyes.

"It’s okay," Pearlstar muttered, brushing a paw across her face, wiping the tears from her blue eyes. "I'll be with you at all times. Just look for the shining star above and I’ll come to you."

Minnowstar stretched her neck out to nuzzle the white she-cat, "If you say so. I love you, Pearlstar."

A purr rumbled in her throat, "I love you, Minnowstar."

Welcome!

Hello everyone! For those coming from my other blog, sophswritingthings, hi! And for those just appearing here somehow, welcome darlings! Now let’s get to it.

Power At Our Paws is a series written on Quotev and AO3. It takes place in the Warrior Cats world, but has its own cast of characters and story. The story is still in progress and has a main series and it’s own stand alones.

Currently, the first book is being rewritten and will not be posted here, but the original can be found on my Quotev account.

Cricketstar's Journey

Blurb: “This super Edition, set in the current time of the Power At Our Paws series, follows cat Cricketstar who has his leg broken permanently by a dog after becoming an apprentice. Read to find out what happens to this StarClan guided cat.”

Sootblaze’s Clan

Blurb: “This novella, taking time in the place right after the current time of the Power at Our Paws series, follows cat Sootblaze, daughter of RiverClan leader, Cricketstar. She struggles with the weight of being connected to such an amazing cat, and goes on an adventures that helps her realize her true place.”

Cali's Family

Blurb: “This novella, set in a time before the Power at Our Paws series, follows life of rouge Cali. It shows her life with abusive parents, a best friend and later mate, and truly what it means to be family.”

These books are finished and posted on AO3. The following are not finished and being worked on actively on Quotev.

The Tribe Of Burning Stars

Blurb: “Sage, a rouge that has taken the name Sagepetal and joined the Tribe of Burning Stars after her dangerous kitting, raises her three kits in this tribe without a mate. We follow the point of view of her son, Tallykit, and see his new life through his eyes. And the troubles and triumphs that come with it.”

Moonbreeze's Storm

Blurb: “This story, set in the time after our current Power at Our Paws series, follows warrior Moonbreeze, a younger cat brown into RiverClan. She wants nothing to do with being chosen, special, or StarClan touched. But all that truly changed when her clan is in trouble, and the RiverClan leader turns to her and her friends in their time of need.”

Bloodstar's Choices

Blurb: “In this story, we follow life of future leader, Bloodstar. He wasn’t always the bloodthirsty cat he is now, and this story explains the actions and events that lead him down that path that eventually lead to his demise.”

This book is currently on hiatus.

This blog will feature art, refs and other ideas for the Power at Our Paws series.
