An unbreakable habit had formed within Shining's body and mind. It all started as a kid, carrying on all the way into adulthood, and it would continue until he finally passed from the world. It wasn't just a habit, either. A natural desire, a longing of sorts, made the feline go outside during the night. One goal, one wish, each and every time: to see the stars shining in the sky. No matter how many times he leaned his head back to take in the sight of a thousand little lights up above, it still filled Shining with a sense of awe.
Shininglight. That had been the name given to him. Not by ceremony, not by assignment. By fate? Destiny? Even the striped feline didn't know. But it felt... right. It fit him, in several ways. As a kit, Shining always wanted to help his friends and family. He wanted to defend them from the evils of the world. That desire was still present in his heart, in his blood, in his soul. It wouldn't ever leave. He'd always try his best to do the right thing.

A small cliff stuck out on the western side of the Ascendants' territory, overlooking the ocean and pebbly coastline. One single, lone tree grew here. It was this spot that Shining had chosen to sit, to observe the starry sky. His gaze remained fixated on the expanse, as if in a trance captured by those distant lights. His tail wrapped around his paws, body completely still aside from his breathing.
Would he join them one day?
