Olethea
Olethea was alone. This in itself was not unusual. She despised in many ways the presence of others. They were mundane, focused on what wasn't necessary. They lived their false lives, forever content with scraping the top of intellectual life. This was no Olethea. She lived for the pursuit of truth. She questioned others intimately, questions one would not expect. It made their answers so much better. Yet, when asked questions herself - she fled. She could never shake the feeling that her father was still searching for her. Xeno was out there somewhere, Olethea knew it. She just didn't know where he was hiding. He would come for her, and there would be no escape. But Olethea would die with something no one else could ever hope to possess.
Olethea would posses the truth.
Olethea padded through the thick undergrowth, purposely skirting the edges of the territory that was known to belong to a group of cats knows as the Clans. She knew enough to know not to mess with the Clans. She believed she was somewhat near a subgroup called Thunderclan. She wasn't sure and didn't care too much. She had briefly considered joining their ranks. Where would she be safer? But they would rename her, steal who she was to make her like them. That wasn't truth, that was hiding. She wouldn't hide from Xeno. She would flee, she would fight, but when the time came she would not hide. She had escaped him once, though doubted she would do so again. She had come to terms with this knowledge, with this truth.
Something cracked and Olethea halted. Her tail swished back and forth against her legs nervously and her ears twitched. She narrowed her eyes and searched the surrounding grasses and foilage. She bared her teeth slightly before calling out. "He who hides from others is disguising the fact that he hides from himself." This was her way. She was known to speak in riddles with utmost formality. Some where confused, others irritated. She didn't much mind either way. She found her methods...successful.
