It's that all too familiar scene to me now, a vibrant jungle infused with life. No theres change, the jungle spirits are all purple and gold? I'm standing over the cliff again, river rapids flow below me but this time I see no birds, I don't see any other animals at all actually. At this time I'm realising that my form is humanoid, not feral. Suddenly in the distance a earthshattering roar claims the entire jungle, I crash to my knees gripping my ears tightly to shelter myself from the splitting pain. The roar slowly subsides into a faint echo and I finally feel my strength return to me, tenderly forcing myself to stand, the air around me seems to pull me in one direction. My instincts take control and I find myself breaking out into a sprint, my heart gnawing in anticipation, but for what I couldn't tell.

How long have I been running for? Feels like forever, but no matter how far I run I can't seem to reach this mysterious force. Bringing myself to halt I gaze up at the sky, narrowing my eyes, far in the distant heights I notice the same purple and gold lights gleaming.

"What does this mean? Am I meant to fly? I'm a cat not a bird what is this joke? Bahh whatever-" Shifting into my leopard form I begin to scale the trees, claws digging into the bark to give me grip. Damn these trees are bigger than I thought, why was this tiring but running for so long felt like a breeze? Too many god damn questions not enough answers! Reaching the peak, passed the giant tree leaves, I'm suddenly swarmed in light, the spirits surrounding me, lifting me-

"Wait lifting me?"

...

...

...

"Wait- nononono STOP! LET ME DOWN! HELP! HELPPPPPPPPPP!!!"

Struggling to free myself before its too late, it dawns me that it is in fact too late and I am too high up to survive any fall. Up and up I go until we start floating through the clouds themselves, it doesn't take long to appear on the other side, above the clouds. 

"What the fuck?"

A lake? Sky lake? How can their be a literal lake above a sky? Where the hell am I? The lights start to dissipate, gently placing me onto the fluffy, firm? Clouds? Slowly allowing my weight to take hold on this dubious ground, I take steps towards the lake. 

"What the hell am I meant to do here?"

Gazing down the deep blue pool of water, my reflection looking back. My autumn hair with the white striped fringe, the same fringe that connects me to father. Sigh.

"I wonder if I'll find out who did it?"

"Even if I do can I do anything about it?"

Sigh~

"Excuse me?"

BOOOOOOM. An explosion of water erupts all over me blocking my sight. Several seconds later a flood of purple and gold fills the air culminating into an intense ball of compact light. I stare at the phenomenom in front of me, just what the hell is happening? A strange warmth flows out of it, strange but familiar, as if I'd known this heat my whole life. Captivated I find myself reaching out until finally... my claw reaches the glowing light. 

All at once, an extreme gust of wind hits me from all directions, lifting me off the ground. Purple and gold fills me sight as the illuminations take hold of me. My eyes burn bright, I can't see anything until finally all I can see is black. 

Opening my eyes I find myself in an all too familiar place, tangling limbs pinning me down as drool drips down off my shoulder onto my neck. Ahh home again...

"The fuck?"
