Description ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RP from Two Leader's Wrath

The unconscious body of a snow leopard lay just beyond some bushes where in a bloodied clearing, the leaders of two Empires argued about the day's events, and the Empires' futures. The creature was well within earshot of their conversation, and had she been awake, she might have heard every word. She might have also heard both her friend and her enemy bring her presence to her leader's attention. Had everyone else not heard the loud clanking of her armor when she had hit the ground? Or had they been too distracted to investigate?

Andromeda of course, had no idea- She hadn’t heard the clank of her own armor anyway. The world was a black hole to her. She knew nothing. She felt nothing. She saw nothing.
...Until, a glimmer, like that of a star, sparkled on the horizon of her mind’s eye. It grew closer and brighter as Andromeda stared at it, only half aware. Had she been able to move her limbs she might have padded forward to investigate, but there was no need. The star came closer, and the closer it came, the more Andro realized it was taking on a shape...The form of a feline. She squinted, trying to make out who it was. Something about it seemed...familiar. Who are you? She wondered...then with a jolt, Who am I? Suddenly the other leopard was right in front of her; a sparkling body, starlight shining brightly from its fur. It fixed Andromeda in an intense stare, neon blue eyes locking with similar neon blue. He spoke in a strong, gruff voice. "Wake up, Granite."

"Andromeda, wake up."

Suddenly the star cat vanished, and Andromeda was barely aware of the sense of being poked at, and a distance- yet close -voice calling her.

She felt herself open her eyes a crack, and the light temporarily blinded her. In that split second her senses rushed back to the forest, along with the knowledge of who she was. Andromeda, Silver Gladiator of Fire Empire her mind recited automatically. With her slow coming to, all the soreness came with it. Her stomach stung painfully. Her claws ached from where she had dug them into her foes and ripped them out again. Her dry mouth irritated her, and all she could think about was water. But the worst thing, that made everything else pale in comparison, was a sharp, throbbing headache. Memories of the battle flowed back to her in flashes. The meeting with Valon that had begun so calmly...then had suddenly erupted in a bloody battle all over the territory. Running after Soren, leaping into battle beside him when he was attacked. Half fighting, half speaking with Thanatos- the Hunter Andro somehow felt a twinge of respect for. Pelting through the forest to find her leader again... attacking Scaeden mercilessly for the wounds he had inflicted on Soren. Being attacked by Shadie, then driving her out... Hearing her leader's call and feeling urge to return to his aid... Andromeda found she couldn't recall anything after that. Was that when she had fallen into the sudden darkness? Where was she again?

Andromeda felt a harder nudge and soft words close to her ear. With an effort, she opened her eyes- for real this time. The world was blurry, and it took a moment for her eyes to focus. Her muzzle was upon the dry ground, and when she inhaled she scented the strong smells of dirt and blood. Looking with her eyes, she glimpsed Soren bent over her, and felt his presence close to her. A part of her relaxed; at least it wasn't a bounty hunter trying to see if their prize was alive...Then she remembered that the hunters had been driven out, and all that should be left were Empire cats.

The snow leopard drew in a breath and forced herself to raise her head to meet Soren's eyes- She didn't want to worry him when he already had so much to worry about right now. She did so, but was instantly hit by a wave of dizziness and another pounding headache. She wanted to get up and shake it off, but her limbs wouldn't move. Her head flashed with heat and briefly she wondered if the image of her leader that she saw was only a mirage. Her mind fumbled but she regrouped her thoughts enough to speak words. She didn’t like making requests of her leader, but it was all she could think about, and seemed to be the only words her mouth could form.

"Soren..." She croaked in half a whisper. "...Water..."

I wanted to make an art directly from Andro's perspective when she woke up and sees Soren standing over her.

Did I get the angle right?

Mer. He looks...anthro. I suck at this ><

Hahah we did. The hunters had an trap set up and the empire cats fell right into it. We turned the tides though, and took some hunters as prisoners!
