*eyes well up with tears* That's not true! Cats keep growing until... until... *voice wavers* ...twenty moons? *whispers* Oh no...

*Leo's voice breaks* PROBLEM?!

*Leo's tail lashes violently* Because you're our prisoner, dumbass!

well in prisons they give you free food.

that wasn't a nice word

*Leo's ears twitch* Nice? You just decked Azure into a tree! *circles warily*

wait.. do you hear that?

*He flinches violently, stumbling backward until his back hits a tree. His voice is a choked, terrified whisper* You... you just killed her. You killed Eclipse! *His legs give way, and he slumps to the ground, staring up in pure horror.*

nah that was azure :/

..oh.

*The rock with the drawn face is placed precariously on top. As you gently set another stone on the peak, the entire stack trembles, then slowly topples with a soft rattle. The rock with the face lands facing you.*

*smiles fades*

*The sound of rustling leaves breaks the silence. Jake peeks out from a nearby bush, his eyes wide as he stares at the fallen rocks... and the one with the face.*

*His eyes narrow, his body tense.* Not just the valley. The entire planet. *He takes a deliberate step forward.* You're not welcome here anymore.
