High Noon was born on

scorching desert grounds. The Forgotten Oasis Clan took her in, raised her and taught her how to survive
in the wild. As she was growing up, the elders of the Clan noticed something strange and powerful
radiating from Noon... it was something that they haven't witnessed for decades. Beams of pure sunlight
energy were dancing within her veins - she was gleaming with potential and might. With every passing
day, Noon was getting stronger, faster and more skilled, her inner power became well known within the
tribe which lead to her being treated like royalty. Strange as it may seem, some members even asked for a
blessing from the ''Sun Favoured''. High Noon found the whole situation bizarre, she didn't understand
why she got chosen and why she was wielding such power within. Years went by and Noon's 18th
birthday arrived. It was the Summer Solstice. On that day, the Sun travels the longest path through the
sky, making it the longest day of the year, which everyone thought was another sign of her intertwined
fate with the fire star that burned with relentless heat. But the day felt odd... something was off and Noon
knew it. She felt uneasy, the air was thick and heavy, the birds didn't chirp and and the wind didn't blow...
but it was her big day. She'll become a true member of the Forgotten Oasis Clan. The ceremony was
supposed to happen at a massive, circular, colosseum temple where people would offer prayers to Sol, the
guiding light of stars. Upon her arrival, 2 priestesses dressed Noon in traditional, desert robes, decorated
her in gold and blue sapphires from head to the very end of her tail and put on a pedestal, in front of the
whole crowd, whom watched carefully. She was trying to catch their gaze, but everyone seemed distant,
unreachable. The Clan Leader, a powerful, tabaxi male called Blazing Fire, walked up the stairs to meet
Noon upon her pedestal - he was going to welcome her to the Tribe and make her a part of the family. His
presence built respect, nobody dared to challenge him ever since he took the role of a leader. He
commanded Noon to close her eyes whilst he recites the welcome speech .
A chill went down Noon's spine, and she felt agony like she never felt before... She opened her eyes and
jumped back instinctively... glittering, crimson-red blood spilling on the pedestal. Blazing Fire roared
''You are the child of the Sun, your fate is already written in stone! You are going to be our saviour! Our
sacrifice for the Gods. Bring us their blessing and let me finish you!" Noon almost couldn't believe it...
the Clan had a different plan for her all along. She couldn't die there, she had to find a way out, but the
pain was unbearable. The Leader's bloody dagger flew part her head, just as she ducked fast enough to
doge it. Her limbs moved oh her own, saving her life for now. Her head was panicking, all the thoughts
turned into a deafening silence. And then she saw something that will never leave her mind... over a half
of her tail was laying on the ground... still, lifeless. She felt her heart beat like a drum. Suffering turned
into rage, fear into determination and hopelessness into desire to live. She grabbed the dagger that was
supposed to send her to the realm of the dead and started running, faster than the wildest wind. She felt
the Sun shine through her soul, giving her a blessing that allowed her for those few brief, critical
moments to surpass even a god. Vision became blurry, paws felt like they were going to crumble and
lungs were on the verge of exploding, but Noon ran without looking back. She heard shouts of her tribe
behind her but they were growing more and more distant. And then the night arrived, still in shock Noon
finally found the strength to look behind... not because she was worried that the Clan would be there, but
because that's where her tail would've been. She didn't want to believe it, accepting it was harder than the
years of training she went through, but she had to close the wound for now, otherwise she was going to
bleed out to death. High Noon's heart was aching, she was betrayed by the people she was going to call
family, so no matter what, she can't stay here... she can't go back. She has to keep moving forward and see
what else the world will throw at her. One thing is certain, she won't trust anyone anymore.
