Begin what? You ask her.
I mean my story. You know, a tale about me. Where do you think I should begin?
How about at the beginning?
Okay. Tosca closes her eyes and begins to tell her tale.
**********
I'll start with the day I came into existence. From what I was told, I was left alone when I was only a few minutes old. My mother was part of a clan that trained xweetoks to battle. They were constantly on the move, and only stopped to rest. I was very small and weak at birth, and as a result my mother was forced to abandon me. Sadly, that was a tradition in the clan. I can only imagine how many defenseless kits have been left to die.
The next thing I remember was a fire faerie named Pyra. I was whining for my mother, then I felt the warmth coming from Pyra's body. She picked me up and said I can't believe this. They would leave such a sweet little kit like you to die? I'm not about to let that happen, Tosca.
**********
After that, Pyra raised me, since apparently nobody else wanted to. She cared for me well, but she never told me that my clan abandoned me. She always told me that my folks could no longer care for me and had to give me up.
As I got older, I began to discover my fire abilities. Pyra showed me how to use them. I also discovered my other abilities, such as turning invisible and levitating.
One day, when I was old enough, I decided to find my old clan. I wanted to find them so I could learn more about them. I packed up the neccesary suplies I needed and went off. I waited until Pyra was asleep to leave, because she didn't want me to find my clan.
I followed their trail. I learned to recognise the signs that they were close, like a campfire that had burned out. Other signs included pawprints and the remains of their food.
As I searched for my clan, I met a friend. It was a Baby Fireball. Hello. Do you have a name? I asked her. The Baby Fireball nodded, then picked up a stick in her mouth and wrote her name on the ground.
De...La...Soul. Cool name! De La Soul squeaked and spun around in circles. That's her way of expressing happiness.
I remember Pyra telling me that Baby Fireballs are born from fire. Maybe De La Soul came from a campfire that my clan made. They only burn the ones they don't trust, so De La Soul must have trusted me because when she licked my cheek, I didn't feel the burn.
**********
A couple days later, De La Soul and I found another sign that the clan wasn't too far away. It was a small kit, left behind by the clan. I didn't know about their "tradition" at the time, so I assumed that she was left behind by accident. I couldn't stand to leave her alone, so I took her with me and cared for her the best I could.
But eventually, I couldn't care for her anymore because I was running low on food. So I left her with some humans that seemed trustworthy. I wonder how she's doing?
Then, two days later, I finally found them.
**********
At first, they considered me a threat and tried to attack me. But don't worry, I fought 'em off.
That was when I discovered my Fire Spin ability. A ring of fire suddenly surrounded me and De La Soul. The guards ran away in fear of being burned.
When the ring of fire dissapeared, I was approached by the leader. Who are you? And what are you doing here? He demanded.
I am Tosca. I went looking for this clan after my caretaker told me I was once part of it.
Hmmm...You do look faintly familiar...And I do stress faintly...
...Is it really you? A female voice whispered. I turned around and saw a female xweetok with white fur and a dark-brown mane.
She came closer and examined me. It is you! I thought you were dead! She briefly casted an angered look at the leader, then looked at me again. I soon realised who she was.
...Mother?
**********
How did I get sepperated from this clan? I asked her.
Oh, that. You see, this clan trains xweetoks to battle. But they don't train the ones that are weak. And on the day you were born, the leader came to inspect you. He said that you were too small and weak to train, so I was forced to abandon you. I loved you so much, I wanted to keep you. But the leader didn't allow that. I was literally dragged away from you. There was nothing I could do about it.
I don't believe this! I shouted. I just don't believe it! That leader left me to die just because I was too small at birth?!
Sadly, that's a tradition in this clan.
How many kits have died from that so-called "tradition"? HOW COULD HE BE SO HEARTLESS?!
Then, for the first time in my life, I got angry.
It was at that moment when I discovered a deadly power I possesed. My mane turned into pure fire and my aura turned orange. I then ran towards the clan leader. I was about to unleash my anger on him.
I don't really remember what I did after that. When I'm in my "angered" form, I literally become blind with rage: I have no control of my actions. The next thing I remember was turning back to normal. It was at that moment when I realised what I had done. The field that my clan had settled in was now in ruins. The grass had burned up, as well as the leaves on the now-dead trees. The lifeless, scorched bodies of my clan members, including the leader and my own mother, were scattered across the ground.
Then I heard footsteps approaching. It was Pyra. It turns out she had been watching over me since I left. You lied to me. I told her. You said my parents asked you to take care of me, but my clan actually left me for dead!
I'm sorry. This is why I didn't want you to find them. I feared you wouldn't handle the truth.
That doesn't matter! You should have told me they abandoned me! Now because of you, my own clan is dead! YOU LIED! I became angry again and lashed out at her, but Pyra was able to get away in time.
That was the last time I saw her.
Then, with my eyes full of tears, I ran off.
**********
I ran far away. I didn't care where I was going, as long as it was away from there. I ran until I couldn't go any further. I was too upset to do anything. I just lied there.
Um, excuse me. Are you okay? A male voice asked. I looked up and saw another xweetok. I said are you okay? He repeated.
I wiped a tear from the corner of my eye and said. I'm fine, I think. I guess I just got lost.
Then could I help you find your way home? Where do you live?
Nowhere...Not anymore. It's kinda complicated.
Then would you care to stay with me?
...Yes. That would be nice. I then walked through the woods with the male xweetok.
By the way, I'm Kinka. What's your name?
Tosca.
The End
It turns out that I have a clone. You see, I once challenged a lupe in the battledome, who managed to get a tuft of my fur. After that, his master used that piece of my DNA to bring Badiel into existence. Due to mistreatment from that scientist, she doesn't trust humans very much. Her safehaven is a secret location somewhere on Mystery Island. I sometimes go there to visit her, and, in return, she occasionally comes to visit the clan that Kinka and I established.
Not long after Kinka and I established our clan, we found out that I was expecting a kit. I feel so blessed to have had Kayley. She's absolutely wonderfull, not to mention playfull. I love her to bits.
