Description
Osprey roamed an unfamiliar land for quite some time, having been separated from the group of Ice Empire escapees. Many cats had just been freed from the city’s coliseum, including Osprey. He featured new, massive scars. Odessa wasn’t gentle about his capture, even clawing a tooth out of his skull. Which the humans decided to implant a golden one in its place. He wandered until his paws felt they’d fall off, thirst making him smack his lips a few times.
Suddenly, a new smell came to him. It wasn’t a rabbit or a deer, but two cats? Out here? They smelt of more cats, too. Maybe he was near a family of rouges? Gods save him if he was that far away. Following it into a clearing, he saw them. Two cats, one younger than the other, and maybe even himself. He was a familiar brown color, but the older cat was a red that flooded him with painful memories. “..Mom?” The striped gladiator stepped into the clearing, staring in disbelief. Her head snapped in the direction of a strange voice, caution soon replaced by pure joy. “Is it you? My boy, Osprey!” She meowed excitedly, bounding over to him. The smaller cat with her trotted close behind, not to sure how to feel about the stranger.

A venom filled hiss escaped Osprey, extending his claws in anger. “Your boy?! You left me!” The aggressive behavior startled her, making her stop quick. “Left you?” She paused, the words burning her heart like the hottest wildfire. “No- No, no, Ozzy, I never meant to leave you. I was taken, captured by hunters. I tried to come back for you, I did. But.. things changed after I escaped.” She looked down at the young cat who was now hiding under her. Osprey snarled at the young male. “Who the hell are you?” After a moment of hesitation, Frankie spoke up. “His name is Nuthatch. He’s my son.” Her words were firm, though they pierced Ospreys heart like the sharpest stalactites had fallen through him. “Son?” He stared into Nuthatch’s green eyes. “What, did you feel the need to replace the life you left behind?” A sad bitterness in his voice, and a sharp hatred behind his orange eyes.

“That’s enough!” Frankie snapped at her older son, baring her teeth for only a second. “Osprey, you’re angry, I understand that. But your anger is misplaced. Hunters took me, I was there for so long. I didn’t know my way back, I tried to find my family- To find you.” She frowned, pain in her eyes. She knew her son couldn’t fathom how far she’d come in the past years, in many ways. Her heart soared when she saw Osprey’s anger dwindle. “Do you want to meet the others?” She asked softly, hopeful to reunite her family. For a long moment, Ozzy was silent. And then, he nodded, following his mother and younger brother to their home.

WOOO THIS TOOK AGES AHHH
Osprey is so angry, but this will help him more than he understands just yet. Don’t worry, he’s not a rogue! Just visiting family after the latest city escape! He was separated from the group heading to ice, and went the wrong way! Thankfully, he finds his mother, who slowly helps heal his broken heart. (No I don’t know how many words this is 🫠)

I’m hoping this can count as activity checks for both Nuthatch and Osprey!!
