There is a hum in the air. An electricity hanging over Riverclan following the meeting. Not only in conversation held between huddled groups, but heavy laden in the expanse of ashen clouds above.
'Looks like a storm is approaching,' one says.
'Starclan wouldn't flood us again, would they?' another asks, nervously glancing at the incoming storm. After all, they've only just returned to camp and were finally putting the finishing touches on den repairs and clean up.
Thunder rumbles low, reverberating into the very marrow of their bones. Robinheart pauses mid step, her maw clutching a clump of nesting material to be disposed of now that she no longer resided in the nursery. Citrine eyes flick skyward, gazing upon angry heavens that swell and writhe. The electricity in the air thickens. Her fur begins to stand on end and in an instant chaos unleashed.
Blinding light fills her vision, casting brief shadows of fear across the sandy camp. Auras dance in the tortoiseshell's vision as she scrambles backwards, nearly tripping over another clanmate.
A sharp CRACK echos throughout the territory following the flash of lightning. Too close, it's too close, the molly internally panics, shouts muffled by the ringing in her ears. Bodies are moving all around her, many ushering the young and old to safety. The storm rages on, thunder and lightning playing a frightful game of tag, uncaring of the feelings of the cats trapped beneath the bleak tempest.
From the corner of her eye Robinheart catches a flicker of light. Much more gentle than the flash of lightning, though potentially more dangerous. "Fire," she whispers, a lump forming in her throat.
Across the river, flickering to life among the trash and refuse of abandoned twoleg camp, is a fire borne of lightning strike. A fire not tamed or controlled by human hands. "F-Fire!" Robinheart tries to say again, louder than before. Her heart hammers against ivory ribcage as she tears her gaze from the small inferno. "Lichenstar! Hazecloud!" She searches for them among the blurry figures seeking shelter, "The twoleg campsite… the s-storm… fire!"
// hello and welcome to the next chapter of our plot! there is a fire at the twoleg campsite started by a lightning strike and currently being fed by the trash left behind by the humans. fortunately the fire will not spread to camp! but it can be seen. have fun!
