PEGASUS.
loner of the outskirts
Life as a free man had been quite the adjustment for Pegasus, so far. All of his previous 3 years and 11 months, he’d always been told what to do by someone. If it hadn’t been his owners, it had been The Matriarch or one of her direct underlings. He wasn’t adverse to being told what to do, see, but he did like this newfound freedom. Going where he wanted, when he wanted, doing what he wanted- It definitely suited his style much better.
At first, he hadn’t known about the Clans, born a kittypet and raised by the city. So running into the wilderness, expecting wide open spaces, he had been surprised the first time he ran into a patrol of cats claiming to be from a larger group who lived together harmoniously, one Clan of five within the area. He would have laughed at them, if he weren’t busy running from a possible fight. The next time he wandered into that general area, he’d taken a moment to scent the air. To his great surprise, he smelled a different scent alongside the scent from the group he’d ran into previously. And they hadn’t been lying about there being other groups besides them in this forest. From one cage to another, it would seem. Or well, between cages, always pushing his luck of capture or death.
To one side, back by the city, The Family. To the other side, out in the wilderness, the Clans. Of course he could have went one of the other two directions remaining to him, but he knew for certain the ocean was one of those ways, and he was not meant to live on a ship. He very much enjoyed his paws on solid ground.
So he’d simply adjusted to his neighbors on both sides, tending to stick closer to the Clans, because he feared them less than any possible retribution by The Family. He’d grown quiet adept at sneaking through their territories and tiptoeing along the border so his own scent would get lost in the border markers. Today he’d even wandered deep into ShadowClan territory, in search of a lizard. Pegasus had heard talk they were an odd but yummy morsel to snack on, and he wanted to see if that were true or not.
