The Hidden Mountain Pass

Fate caused you to choose this direction over the other. The creeping hunter cat went one way, you the other, and so you found yourself in what resembled a marsh. The mountain walls created a kind of bowl in this region, and over time it collected soil. Because of the rocky bottom, the water didn't drain well and the ground had become muddy and soft. It was rather unpleasant walking but you could see that the other side wasn't that far away. You decide to cross, not expecting to find any feline creatures in the wet environment.

But these cats appeared to be everywhere. Curled up on a rock sat a female whose coat had more shades of green than you'd thought possible on such a small body.

She looks up at you as you squelch by. You notice she had wings, that was probably how she'd gotten all the way out here without a spot of dirt on her delicat paws. As you nearly loose a shoe in the sucking mud you kind of wished for wings yourself.

You continued to squelch until one of your steps sounded like a feline yowl. Looking closely at the muck before you, you just barely make out the form of a hunter cat.

It seemed like he was glaring at you, but it was hard to see his eyes. It was entirely possible he was simply meowing in his sleep. The female hunter cat nearby was wide awake however. Though she was attempting to stalk you, her colouring stood out well enough in the green and muck-brown environment.

Her silver wings reflected the light of the sun and sparkled her position off to your left as you continue to trudge. You keep up the pretence of not having seen her, as you didn't want to hurt her feelings.

However the green hunter cat wasn't so accomodating. Without a second thought he pounced at your stalker, a big grin on his face.

But while all that was going on, you didn't notice the green female coming up behind you until she was sniffing the backs of you knees. You look down at her, and she looks up sweetly, large innocent eyes. She doesn't pause in her sniffing however and it makes you wonder what exactly about the backs of you knees smells so good...

You were about to walk away when you nearly tripped over a hunter cat. At first you thought it was the sniffing female but it wasn't, it was a purple male.

He raced around you, his head turned up to look at your face. Of course, not looking where he was going he collided with your friendly stalker. Careening off of her he bumps into your knee sniffer, only to trip up the other green male. You take advantage of the jumble and make your way out of there.
