− ♱ ABOUT : red. like fire, like the blood that would surely run through his claws ; thick, tacky and visceral. today, he was going to kill one of his own. it was the only thought running through his mind — find. maim. murder. he would hold the midnight tom down and rip every inch of fur and flesh from his body before he would see another youth injured at his paws. he would shatter the bone within them, splinter ivory through delicate skin and pull the claws from his toes with feral, red - stained canines only to spit them back into a bloodied pulp of former facial features. he would leave the bones to the buzzards and vulture that circle overhead, pecking lazily at corpses buzzing with botfly and maggot — as that will be all that’s left of him once the river phantom was done. he arises from the medicine den like a ghost, illuminated in the low murky grey fog. a storm was brewing ; dark and tempestuous, the heavens rolling and rioting, muttering amongst themselves in rolling waves of growling thunder overhead.
a crack of lightning, alighting the sky in brilliant shades of alabaster and pale gold, “ apprentices, to your den! “ it’s loud — booming, and he feels no need to scale the river - jutting rock overhead to make his call. an unspoken and don’t let me catch you out of it. goes unsaid, spoken in the wild toss of his skull in the direction, icy eyes alight with a rage seen only during their initial descent to the river territories. it’s then that he whips around and there he is —
spiderfall.
he rounds him, too - long limbs and low skull, orbital ears arrived back against a sleek skull. rage. embers alight with the river wind, rioting up the notches of his spine and kindling heavy in his chest, heart pumping, pushing, forcing blood through his body. limbs tremble, though not with trepidation. the man stops in front of his warrior and for a moment, there is nothing. the sky rolls, birds silent, river creatures not daring utter a word in the torrential weather, let alone the tension that strings high over the slowly accumulating crowd around them. he hopes that his words for apprentices to take cover is heard — prays his leads enforce it, keep the victims themselves away from the scene he is about to make. there is nothing telling upon his features ; the ice - chill of anger fixing his expression lax.
a beat passes. two.
the man hits him. unprompted, a sudden movement of forelimb — a heavy, brute force of unsheathed paw against cheek, claws hooking and ripping into the skin just above his temple and ripping like rabbit skin through to the ends of his jaw. red spatters his lower forelimb and the spray of it seems to nearly reach his ivory cheeks. the spiderfall’s limbs give out with the force of it and the mottled tom is on top of him nearly faster than the eye can see, a sharp - knuckled paw pressing at the base of his skull, the other to his spine, keeping him still. slowly, cicadastar leans down, his maw just aside spiderfall’s ear. his tail lashes, low and dangerous, “ a little birdie told me you’ve been giving my apprentices some trouble. “ his voice has never sounded like this before — cold. a low, honeyed growl breaking with a cruel, bitter tang, spurred tongue dripping venom. his eyes flit up, looking towards warriors who now bear features mixing with fear, confusion, outrage. pupils narrow to slits against the light and his teeth grit, jaw clenching, “ go on, rat. tell them what you’ve done. tell them and i may reconsider ripping your pelt from your bones and using the pitiful remains to line my nest. “ a quick shove, brutal against the notch of the warriors spine where skull meets socket punctuating his threat — his promise. he would have his tongue for insolence should he speak a word elsewise.
